-Me, Saturday, early morning…
-Decide to explore null sec. I’m not a null sec guy. I hate blobs, bubbles, and secret intel channels.
- Fit up a fancy pants cloaky pvpish explorer ship. I picture it dropped on by 50ish titans 3 jumps in. Undock anyway.
- Go looking for a wormhole into null. Don’t trust the front doors. Find a hole to a low sec. It’s close enough I guess.
- First low sec system has a ratting vexor at a belt. Its a trap. Has to be a trap. Warp in anyway.
- Uncloak, point, overheat everything. Get ready to die in a fire.
- Local jumps up by 4. I continue to get ready to die. Vexor, Vexor, Atron, Condor on scan. My heart beats weirdly in my chest. First vexor pops.
-Maybe I won’t die? New guys engage and frigs pop then a vexor pops. Last vexor runs. Gf’s given.
-I continue the few jumps into null. Already surprised I’m not dead.
-Scan and explore things. Conclude data sites are junk.
-
Find first ghost site. First quality loot. Didn’t die.
-
Find weird drug manufacturing site. Find many drug blueprints! Get really excited about my new potential career as a drug dealer!
-Relic sites are ok I guess. -
Nervous about how empty the systems are. Expect to die as i jump through each gate. Take a wormhole to a different null region.
-
Load up on drone goo and chips and stuff. Just over a billion in the cargo hold. Definetly going to die now.
-
Find a purifier sitting off a gate. Has to be a trap. Uncloak, point, overheat everything. It pops.
-(Was fit with no launcher, just cynos! Told you it was a trap!)
-Sneak past a few bubbles. Slowly make my way back into low sec. Not sure why in not dead. Get back to high sec. -
Unload my booty. Prepare my career as a drug dealer. Realize drug dealing is more skill intensive than i thought. Maybe just a side hustle then.
-
Buy cool new ships with loot money.
-
Fly one of said ships to a nearby ice belt. Miners have littered the belt with their cans of ice. I steal, then explode cans to clean it up. Public service massage: Keep eve litter free!
-
Tengu decloaks and attacks. Definetly going to die. I point and overheat everything. Can tank the tengu fine in my fancy new frig! What?! I’m about to kill a tengu. Woot! Shields down.
-
Then shields are back up.
Orca is repping the tengu.
-Switch point to orca, overheat everything! (Suspect orca, best orca.) Kill drones like it’s going out of style.
-My heart is beating weirdly in my chest. Hands get shaky.
Dodge fire from the tengu, an algos, and a thorax while my timer runs out. Chip away for 28 minutes at orca! -
Orca pops literally as his alt in a Augoror land! Oh the joy and pain from each of us at that moment.
-Gf’s were given.
I don’t post much, but despite the fact that eve has been dying for all of the 10 years I’ve been playing, I still find it awesome that this game can bring such a crazy rollercoaster ride of emotion any given day.
Fly dangerous! 07
, this reminds me of the times i just whent into null sec cause i was bored and wanted to see what was there. Thanks for the trip down memory lane…
