First Blood

 


 
 
 
Here I was defending a Minmatar Bunker, I had about 10 min left before the bunker was reclaimed by the Minmatar Republic when a neutral Wolf Class, Assault Frigate warps into my location and attempts to engage me. Being outgunned and outclassed by a far better ship I warped to a Safe Spot and started scanning local. I noticed several more neutrals jumping into system and decided; sometimes you gotta say 'Fuck It'. So I warped back to the bunker and found a Vexor Class, Cruiser, Rifter Class, Frigate and Claw Class, Interceptor waiting. I immediately engaged the Rifter class Frigate. Both the Rifter and the Claw warped off, but I was able to get a tackle on the Vexor Class, Cruiser and the fight was on.

The Vexor was Warped Scrammed and his Micro Warp Drive was offline, but he dropped five Warrior II drones on me and they began eating away at my shields while I was orbiting at 500km with my after burning at full power. I switched targets and started hitting his drones with everything I had. I also used my 'X5 Prototype Engine Enervator; Webber on each drone I was shooting at. The Vexor pilot got the point and recalled his drones while he kept firing at me with his Heavy Electron Blaster II. At this point I was not doing to bad and could have stayed in the fight a little longer when the Claw and rifter warped back into the fight.

I switched target and put everything on the Claw interceptor, maybe I would get lucky and pop him before I went down. Well as you can see, it did not work and my first ship was lost.

I had fun, that’s what counts, my rifter loss was under 1 million isk and it was insured. I had recovered five Warrior I's, five Hornet ECM drones and 1 medium shield extender earlier that day so those items offset my loss and I came out ahead.

 

I love this game J

1st Blog of the WACO RANGERS


Well after gaining inspiration from someone else who blogs for their Eve-Online character, I thought I'd start blogging as well.

Goodness knows I spend a hideous amount of time in Eve and am blessed with having an enormous amount of fun through the game and the people I've met there.

No doubt, I'll swap in and out of character during posts in this blog, one thing is for sure though throughout everything I write I'll be very cognizant of the fact that Eve is just a game and in or out of character some perspective is required.

For those easily offended beware of foul language because I swear like a trooper and to be honest, I think it adds some color to the English language!

To anyone that I comment on in this blog, I hope I don't offend you too much and remember this is all in the context of a game, I don't know most of you in real life and those that I do, I'll likely only praise anyway.

I'll likely use this blog as a brain dump to begin with and will think about releasing it in a few weeks.

Have fun reading what goes on in the head of a Waco Ranger CEO ;)
