“Shin come to Sagain.”
The message comes in on the corp channel as I’m working on the second part of the Recon missions. Feeling rather bored. I decide to join my merry cohorts in some carnage and destruction. After I finished the mission, of course.

A quick clone jump and a change of ship later, I’m out in space. Decided to go with Stay and Chat! my Broadsword-class heavy interdictor for a couple of reasons. One: I’ve never flown her in combat before. Two: Focused Warp Disruption fields. You get one of those locked onto your ship, your only hope is to fly out of range. quickly. Turns out that they’re really fun to fly too. 
I even managed to get ome blood on my ship too. Helped tackle a Curse-class recon ship, then I killed the capsule. “You killed the capsule?”, some of you may be asking, “Won’t that drag your security status down?” Oh hell yeah! Went from +5 to +1.76 last night. But as a friend of mine told me a long time ago: “Sec rating is another form of currency to be spent.” Bring it up by shooting pirate NPCs, drag it down by shooting other players. Repeat as needed.
Forgot to take some screenshots of Stay and Chat! during last night’s gang op, but one of my corpmates brought along his Legion-class strategic cruiser, +for+we+are+many+ and I grabbed a shot or two of that.

It seems someone heard my comment about this agent giving out only Guristas kill missions because the very next mission was Angel Extravaganza against the Angel Cartel. Unlike the Guristas, who like to use mainly Kin/Therm damage and sensor jamming, the Cartel likes to hit you with a little of everything and a target painter occasionally to make it hurt more.
I open the fitting screen and pore over Happy Face’s current setup, I decide to swap out the Kinetic hardener for an explosive one. Result is slightly evened out resists with a needed boost to explosive resists. I decide to give it a try. if things go pear shaped, I’ll try something else.
The new tank works great. I barely see any red at all in the armour during the mission. I take advantage of the situation to grab a couples of screenshots of the action…

Everything else didn’t go as smoothly as the mission tonight. Noticing some banter in local, I pasted my current fit of my Eos. A rascal who shall remain nameless deemed it to be a fail fit. Curious as to see how well this admittedly PvE fit would fare, I proposed a 1:1 against the rascal. Earlier today I had read this most interesting plog post of Mynxee of the Hellcats about 1:1 and honour and rules and such. Link is here so you can read it. With this post still in my memory, I had planned to invite this guy into a fleet, where we would warp off to a random planet and have this duel. All aboveboard and honourable. Except guy’s already in a fleet and wants me to join his fleet. And that’s when it gets entertaining for the rest of the system reading local as he starts getting rude when I decline this offer and subsequently block him. Then he logs into his alt and tries to get me to duel this guy, offering to act as a neutral observer. As far as I was concerned, the chances of this duel ended when I blocked him. Then he did his ta da! and revealed himself as the rascal I had blocked. There was some smack talking and talks of war deccing each other’s corps (which amused one of my corpies later on when I told him the tale later on). Eventually I grew tired of this banter and added a couple more names to my blocked list.
Can’t wait to see what happens tomorrow night!
