So… a funny thing happened to me in EvE that last couple of days…
The first, I was baited out on a lone Epithal when a Strat turns up… I deal with the Epitahl and turn my attention to the Strat. Catching up with him on damage I think I may be able to take it… then the BNI and two Proteus (Protei? Proteus’s?.. Whatever…) turn up and make quick work of me.
“Oh well!” I think and drop a “nice bait” in local and I warp my full Geno pod back to the hole… "Where the F*CK has the hole gone!?"
No BMs out to K-Space and obviously no scanner on my pod, I resign to the fact that I’m going to lose it so post in local what happened and am about to offer the kill to the guys that got me when they offer to scan me out to K-Space.
Now, I am a little skeptical but given wormhole dwellers are a bit classier than the rest of New Eden (based on genuine scientilictic methodolgicilallyicle opinions of… me, simply because I live there) I thought “well, alright, even if they gank me there is nothing I can do.”
Boy was I wrong.
Had a nice little chat with the guys and they scan me through two wormhole systems to land my square on the HS exit.
Mad shout out to the guys in United Electro-Magnetic Federation for being classy as f*ck! Their CEO, Fetox74 was actually in the fleet that ganked me so when I went to send a message to their CEO saying how cool they had been and saw it was him was even more impressed. Top lads too. o7
Then, today I am scanning systems when I come across a hole (Giggidy Giggidy Goo!) with a Strat and Flycatcher on it. Given they one-shotted me to 70% hull and my Sisters Probe Launcher can’t fire the probes at ships for DPS (afaik), I heroically ran away… but then thought… “hmm… one Strat and a Flycatcher? If I am quick…” So I jump in my Cane and head back to deliver my own “hello message” through the power of the mighty (but couldn’t hit a barn door with a banjo) Vulcan 220’s, I return to the hole… they left. Meh. So I warp around a bit and then go back to the HS. "Oh look. A lone flycatcher that hasn’t bubbled the hole and lets me agro him… oh look, he splashed the hole… I bet there isn’t a Strat on the other side…
"
Well there was (obviously)… as well as a Brutix, a second Strat and… yes… a Vargur!
After forcing the Strat back through the hole it isn’t long before my Cane complete with Hazard Control skin is even more a pile of scrap metal and they lock the pod.
“At least I came back for the fight” I say.
After a bit of a chat they decide that partly because I came and took the fight and partly because they thought I was with friends and felt bad for ganking a solo, they let my pod go and reimbursed me for the Cane!
Then, the rest of the afternoon is spent 1v1ing, (Cane v Brutix ((I win)), Raven v Typhoon ((He wins))) and when my corp mate shows up having a 2v2 (Rifter & Incursus v Kestral & Tormentor ((we won))).
Solid afternoon of honour brawling. Thanks POS Party and FelixJarl for being honest, decent and above all, CLASSY AS F%CK!
Recruitment is ofc still open and Dry January still sucks ass.
