2 carriers 1 system

Vacation
We have decided to take a corp vacation to Yvangier since the whole Amamake area has become horribly blobby(Yes I know Amamake is blobby, but the surrounding systems have gotten much worse =P), and we seem to be having more fun in the essence & verge vendor areas now(Old Man Star area). So yesterday I finally got all the stuff I was going to move from egg to yvan, moved, moved! It turns out the Blood Money Cartel lives in the same system and are a little larger corp/alliance than us, but would appear to bring some good fights. Unlike DT. So far they don't just smack in local with their numbers and from my experience in EVE, I have no bad feelings towards BMC. In fact I think there CEO has done some good things for newer players as far as getting them started in piracy & PVP. So I look forward to some good fights with them and possible working with them to bust some FW losers!

Roam
Spec decided on BC roam with a rapier scout.
It was overall empty until we got into Dantumi, we found a couple a caracals jumping a myrmidon, so we decided to crash there party. Next we sent Necio the rapier pilot into Auro, the original stomping grounds of Python. The second he jumped in he said he had a carrier on scan's and no POS's. Then he said, "this fucking carrier is in a belt, i'm warping in". The next thing I remember is he had a point and we were warping to him. TBH, we didn't think about what we were doing and after we started killing all his fighters, we realized we didn't have enough DPS to break his tank, or if we did, we would run out of ammo. So we started calling for backup. IEATCRAYONS was able to reach former PC member, Lady Thanatos. LT brought his corp and friends with assorted BS's & BC's. Finally we had the DPS to bring the carrier down.
Unfortunately once the carrier hit deep armor the pilot decided to activate his self destruct! We had 2 minutes to kill him! I personally thought we were screwed out of another carrier kill! But I know within the last 10 seconds or so, he went BOOM! Spec tried to talk him out of self destructing, but he would not budge. We were very lucky, one ship less and we may have missed out. Big thanks to LT and friends for there help. Only 14 ships to kill a carrier!



2 carriers 1 system
But you said 2 carriers! Yea, we only killed one last night. But one of the first few days I was in PC. I logged in and saw one of the local pirate corps in our public channel screaming that a chimera was sitting on the Korama gate in Auro, any python members available with a BS? Me being a noob to piracy, I said, yup. Well a few minutes later, I had my cherry popped with a carrier kill.

So, yup, I LOVE AUROHUNEN!! 2 carriers 1 system!

Im Back!!

Well, technically Ive been back for a couple of weeks. =P
What am I talking about? Well I took a break from the lame and boring(still is) game EVE online, for a couple of months.

Why?

Well for one, the game was getting boring. It supports blob tactics, and the area we live in has to be the worst for it. Minmatar FW and Amarr FW have to be the worst FW groups in the game. I use to live in Gallente & Caldari FW space, and very rarely would you find them blobed up. Oh not in this area, these guys won't leave the station without holding hands.. Pathetic. So anyways, I needed a break, I wanted to spend more time with my wife and kids anyways.

Back!

So I sold a alt and bought a couple of GTC's to try out dominion. I know its not here yet, but I wanted to get a feel for the game before it was released. I come back to a pretty inactive corp! Everyone has started playing L4D2, Borderlands, and Dragon Age. I have considered getting L4D2 or Borderlands, but money is tight with 2 kids and the usual bills, so $50+ video games are a EXTREME luxury!

Other Shit

Anyways it kinda sucks logging in and seeing 1 or 2 people in corp, and topping that off we had a huge fail pirate alliance move into egghelende, Dead Terrorists. You gotta love them, we have about 40 people in corp, only 1 or 2 online at a time, yet they will smack us to fight there 20+ in local. I usually undock and look for probes, and if I see they are probing a missioner. I make some comment in local "attention missioners, bad guys are probing you out!", they get really pissed and call me a fail pirate. But hey, if I can't have they kill neither can they! =P Plus I get some pirate tears out of it too, because these dudes have some serious e-peen issues!! See this locked forum post for more proof of there epeen issues, it really is a sad sad thing~~> Post.

No I'm not whining, these dudes have not been a problem for me (My Kills Against Them), I don't hug egghelende, personally I hate being stuck to one system. And since its so bad with FW around here, I can't take my cruiser out(this game really sucks!), I have been roaming in my jag ALOT lately!! A ship I NEVER, EVER, EVER, flew until we moved to egghelende! But its a fun ship, tough, and fairly cheap for the damage/toughness combo! My Ships/Weapons Only 13 kills with a Jag.. =(

CSM

Since Spec is not running for CSM anymore, I have thrown my 2 votes to Alekseyev Karrde, I believe he the is best choice for low sec, and if anyone else did throw any support for low sec, I think they would not carry it out. I know Alek has fought in small gang PVP, from my merc days, and he is a good guy. My old buddys in Duty. always had alot of respect for Alek and Noir, and that has some weight on my decision. Good Luck Alek!
