It’s from Aedaxus’s perspective as the Orca pilot. A sort of flip side of the encounter is here (though no video): > [@\[Good Samaritan\] Saving up for my first Super, FAX, & Titan through elite pvp (UP TO 110b!)](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/good-samaritan-saving-up-for-my-first-super-fax-titan-through-elite-pvp-49-3b-raised-in-21-days/11179/212): > > Some people aren’t cut out to be pirates. I may have discovered that I am. Having just finished the Alliance Tournament for the year, my Alliance has gone back to our normal low/null roaming playstyle, which we’ll continue until early next year, when we’ll start thinking about an entry for AT XVI. The thing about a small alliance is that even before we think of matching the top teams in theory-crafting and execution, just putting a team together involves donations from individual team members. … The scram, web, F1 to pay respects aspect in the video might look boring, but no more or less boring than a lot of other “non-ganker” pvp. If you check my killboard, aside from this one kill, all of my pvp is honorabru lowsec and nullsec based from solo roaming to mainly small gang and large fleets (though they are mainly on an alt): > **[Scipio Artelius | Character](https://zkillboard.com/character/93663512/)** > > Scipio Artelius: 2,438 ships destroyed and 551 ships lost. This engagement was the first one in a couple of years (aside from Alliance Tournament matches) where I actually felt any sort of emotion at all. Whether solo, small gang or large fleet pvp, there is just as much doing nothing in other types of pvp as well, even as an FC at times. What isn’t shown in the video is what I was doing in parallel on my alt before, during and after this duel. In many respects (and I often duel box logistics for fleets), there was a lot more going on for a longer time than many other engagements. So I can totally see why it might look boring and I would have probably assessed it just the same before doing it, but the experience was anything but. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/beware-dangerous-pirates/19977)._
