The flying Spacepig

Well its done… i moved my main and my alt to the new corp we created some days ago. We are allready 13 ppl in the corp and are growing fast. We hope that many in the old alliance will come and join us in the new corp. The new corp has entered the Core Factor alliance in providence. It seems to be an active alliance and i like it.

How about kills then? Well its been a very slow 14 days now with no kills. I’m looking everywhere for reds to kill but Providence has been very calm latly. Well we got reds but they come in big blobs and there is no use in attacking them and die. Another problem is the ratting right now.. there is allmost no rats in the belts right now. Someone hasnt been chaining the belts like they should had. At least we are going to have PVP contest on suturday. Its a last man standing game and the winner gets a battleships of choice. Me and Rin are going to join the contest. You will only be allowed to use ships upto T1 cruisers. Both be and Rin are going with a classic stabber PVP fit. Its fast and its good

Well this has been a great week for me. In the begining of the week I contaced a player from another alliance(Core Factor) that had been very active and talked to him about joining there fleets. Via this guy iIve been invited to fleets and new intel channels in prov that froms defence fleets. This has been a great way for me to get more pvp action. Couple of days ago I got my first final blow, a pod Me and some guys from CF helped out another fleet that was attacked by a large red fleet. It was allmost a suicede run but in the end we came out alive and we had manged to scare of that red fleet, well Harry lost his drake in the fight. One of these guys docked at a station in Mamet to get a new ship. We waited outside and then he undocked and we popped his ship. I got hold of his pod and killed it. The station guns where after me so I warped out to a gate at first…I dont know why I did that becouse I got hit by gateguns aswell, guess it was a panic thing I did  I was deep into armor and I warped out to a planet to rep and wait out my GCT and agression timer. After this I was also invited to a more private CF chat / intel channel. I got some great connections via this fight and it was all becouse I contaced this Harry in CF.

Then tonight I got x:ed up in a new fleet and we head to Mamet and waited for a red incoming fleet. They came aright.. at least 7 battleships and then a carrier came in. The carrier was called primary and I focused all my fire on that one. Soon it was going down. Then I helped out with at least 3 other battleships but the rest got away. In total we where 3 pilots from TSC that joined this battle. This was a great fight! We held out while waiting for more blues to come and back us up. At the end i think it was 5 or 6 maybe more blue carriers that backed us up. After this fight I went back to Core Factors pos in Mamet to wait out my GCT.  Here is the link to the killboard. My stats are really getting better. I’m still minus total on the killboard becouse of some losses i’ve done  But now my killratio is 3:1 at least

After a while me and Rin headed back to x6ab and start some ratting. After a while a call for a new defence fleet came and I x:ed up again and we was heading to D-G. This time we didnt catch up with the red fleet so we put the fleet on sandby in I7S. After a while it got to late for me so I logged off.

As I said… its been a great week and i’m getting alot of pvp traning. I have also lost a couple of ships but its worth it.

In other news.. Lord DarkBear can now fly a fully fitted Hulk. I think i’m going to move him down to the providence area soon. Now when his mining skills are ready I can start traning more combat skills. Lord DarkBear is a caldari so I will train him to be able to use both a Ferox BC with good fittings and then i’m going to train him to use a Raven. Also.. i’ve been hearing that in winter we might have to fight for Providence for real. AAA and some other alliances might be planing on getting rid of CVA and Paxton in the Providence area. The new Sov changes will probly spark a wave of wars in nullsec.

Been some time seence my last post, its been alot of stuff at work so i havent had time to play that much. So what has happen ingame then?

Well at last i got the skills for t2 drones. Drones are a importent part of the warfair in EVE and some forget them, they do alot more damange then the t1 drones. I can now also fly mimatar cruisers and battlecruisers. Now i have to focus on getting the skills for my first t2 ship, Wolf and Jaguar. I started traning one of the supportskills today and within this month i will be able to fly assault ships fully t2 fitted. Another 15 days after that and i will be able to use Stealthbombers. The plan is to get the skills to fly t2 stealthbomber, covert ops, assault ship from amarr, gallante and mimatar. This will open up alot of ships for me to fly before i go to my next goal a HAC.

Some other news. I might switch to a new corp and close down my own. Right now we are a two man corp and i’m thinking about joining the holding corp of our alliacne, Council of Intarnal War (C-I-W). They are 37 members to day so with me, my alt and Rin we would become 40 members in that corp. I think i can be of better use to the alliance in the C-I-W instead of in my own small corp. Gonna talk to Rin about tomorrow and if his okey with it we might start moving our stuff from our hanger this weekend.

In the alliance we do alot hunting for reds in southern Providence. Tonight we did yet another of our patrol in a small gang. The southern Providence has been pretty quiet the last week. Many of my alliance buddies want to take part in some pvp action at least. Somehow allways when we are out in providence to do our part to defend providence there seems to be no reds to kill. Most of them sit for hours / days cloaked up in systems. If i got cought like that i might try to hide for a while but after that i would fight my way out or die trying..

Did some ratting aswell tonight and made allmost 20 mil on ratting alone. There are many good ways of making good isk in Providence. Been livning in Providence for allmost a month now and i really like it. The life of mining and missionrunning in highsec wasnt my thing in the long run.

Today I got my new computer! At last i was going to see how EVE looks like with a good GFX card. And of course its alot more fun playing the game on a computer that can handle the graphics on the highest settings and still have no problem with computer lagg. Soon I will connect my 2nd monitor so that i can play both my accounts at the same time.

So… what happend ingame tonight then? Well i did alot of shoping.. i bought all in all 30 small rigs and a couple of medium as well for my fleet of frigs and cruisers. I’ve also planned the skill so that in 2 days i can fly both amarr BC and mimatar BC. The Hurrican is a much loved ship on forums and on battleclinic. I think i can put together a nice mixed t1 / t2 hurrican for PVP.

So i guess not so much action today.. i couldnt go back to providence becouse there was a big red fleet between Tash / domain and Providence. It would be more or less a sucide to try to get in there tonight so i will wait until tomorrow to bring down my updated omen with riggs that really looks good with my new GFX card

Well that is just great, a new update and my harddrive  commit sucide of course. I was doing a antivirus scan  to make sure i haven’t got any of those nasty keyloggers that hacks your EVE account on my computer. In the middle of the scan my harddrive made that sound.. you know.. and i knew it was time to look for a new harddrive.

So now i’m going to quit playing EVE on my laptop and fix my desktop computer so i can start playing both my accounts at the same time.

Today I moved my blog to this site, podblogs.com. Using wordpress opens up for more functions in my blog.

Hi all!

My on going task to get a nice pvp boat to use in Providence goes on. Been working on a anti-hac BS fitting and it’s looking bad…for the hac’s =) This fitting will aquire some traning (about 10 days) and it’s primary weapon will be drones. I will not say more right now.

I created killboard for my corp The Evil Monkey’s In Space today. Only got losses so far but I hope I will fill it up with some kills soon. I will post a link here when it’s ready to be viewed.

Well its allways hard choices when you decide what ships and skills you train for. You can’t only train for the ships, the supportskills that allow you to fitt the ship good is the hard part. For a while now I wanted to get good skills for a solo pvp ship. I got a plan for stealthbomber and assault frigate. But it will take about 45 days until I can fly them both, so what to do?

I’m going to get the skills to fly a hurrican with good DPS and t2 drones first. The entire skillplan that also include getting my battlecruiser skill up to lvl 4 for more DPS will take about 19 days. Then I will be albe to fly and fitt it real good. Not t2 guns but allmost as good. It will be a buffer / speedtank fitting that can deliver allmost 400 dps. That will take out alot of targets. This ship will be used in the defence of Providence, both as a solohunter and a fleet ship. With the new miniupdate the cost for the rigging of this ship will be alot less then before the update. Some of the skills I need for the hurrican I will need in my assault + stealthbomber skillplan aswell so I wont lose that much time on it.
