A Memoir from Space

I’m a very patient person, but there are a few things that annoy me a bit. One of those is an empty wormhole -_- Time to wait for that timer to go down and wait out my queue…

As promised, here is a recount of a pretty lulzy event involving a Rupture, and vast amounts of stupidity. Enjoy.

The curtain opens, asteroids hang motionless, a lone miner appears. And whats this? A CAN? Of course, I am all over it. Enter the Punisher! Typical operation commences, bookmark, warp off, warp back, jettison, flip, hope for tears. Pilot warps away. Hmm… Lets see what happens. Align to station…. OH F*** A RUPTURE! WARP.

At this point, a corp mate has arrived to sit on the can who was in system to watch my can, as I was expecting to haul it back in peace. So what do I do?  Grab my Drake of course! As I’m switching ships, my mate informs me that my victim has returned in a badger. Grabbing my rightfully stolen ore back? I think not.

After quite a few instances of warping back and forth from the can with him returning in a Rupture when I was in a Punisher, and me in a Drake while him in a hauler, he commences to trash talking me in local (saying I don’t want to stick around and fight, quite the contrary sir). After goading him back while I was  in a Punisher, he finally shoots at me. Bingo. I warp back in a Drake and commence but kicking.

Greatest. Feeling. Ever. Rupture goes boom, ore hauled, loot sold, adrenaline levels go back down, lulz commence.

Eve tips for success: Don’t be stupid.

That about sums up Eve pretty effectively, don’t you think?

Being roughly 4 months+ into the game, you tend to learn what you want you can fly, what you can fly well, what you shouldn’t be flying, etc. Sadly, you also learn what you really really REALLY wish you COULD fly.

Now I am at a divide in the road, but give me a moment to fill you in on my past before I go on. If you couldn’t tell from my portrait, I am a Caldari Character, and trained missiles and shiles skills all the way up to being able to fly a damn good Drake. And what does my curious self do? Try out a Punisher. Love at first sight? YES. Well, now I fly Amarr, all the way up to flying a decent Apocalypse.

Now that I am a good asset to my Corp, mining and combat wise, I am interested in becoming even more useful (and lethal, I love to pop whatever I see moving….), I have a few options.

Stealth Bombers and Assault Frigates.  So close, yet so far. Time to suck it up and drop in that 8 day long skill for Amarr Frig V… then 10 Days for Electronic Upgrades… Ugh…

Ever since I began the dive into following Eve Blogs, I have entertained the thought of writing my own, conversating with the greats, keeping a record of my doings for myself, and all the other things, but until now, I really never had anything worthwhile to even write about. (That is, aside from some funny stories of me getting blown the **** up out of stupidity, and blowing up a very hot tempered Rupture, more on that later if you are lucky)

Thank god that has changed.

Between wormholes, war decs, and other activites relating to the pew, Eve is just getting started for me.I am honestly kicking myself for not jumping in a few weeks ago, missing the opportunity to discuss the exciting new changes in Dominion (Old new for anyone reading this, you have most likely read the details elsewhere), but better late than never! If you have read this far, I thank you, and welcome you to my wild ride in EVE, and hope I can humbly supply a few laughs here and there! More details on my current and future mischief to come.
