Roam Report: 14/8/112 YC

By Xeross Posted in EVE Online, Pew Pew Leave a Comment

So another roam with Hellfleet, we waited for everyone to ship up, had some discussions on how to refit my cruiser without a remote rep, and took off.

So we started to roam towards a null-sec entrypoint, and on our way we passed through the Tusker HQ, we thought they were following us but it was just a lone wanderer.

After a while we arrived in the destination entrypoint system, however there was a big gatecamp on the out gate so we decided to head back.

After this we decided to continue but a Morsus Mihi fleet came through with Vuk Lau in it (Probably leading it), so the fleet warped for shelter, and I decided to just hang outside the station as they’re blue to me.

After this we wanted to continue further but a Rooks and Kings T3 roaming gang was heading our way so we decided to head back toward our HQ.

While we were heading back we caught a Blackbird on a gate and decided to engage it, the Blackbird went down pretty quickly (No killmail yet) and my armor was holding up just fine even with the gate guns.

After this a Pilgrim warped in and we managed to web and scram him too, however when he was almost down a bright light appeared and a Wyvern hotdropped on top of us.

We decided to see if we could get the Pilgrim because the Wyvern takes forever to lock anyways, however me being a wuss warped out too soon, and the rest also warped out before we got the Pilgrim, it had about 30% structure left.

After this we safed up and got a report of a Drake in a belt (He was probably ratting or something) we engaged him, and then pinned him down once his shield was down seized fire and attempted to ransom.

However our friendly neighbourhood Drake pilot was a bit slow, whether his English was bad or he was just panicking out, he didn’t have enough money for the ransom, so we asked him to eject, he waited to long so we popped him.

After we popped him it turned out he did want to eject from the Drake but he was too slow. After this we held and ransomed his pod which still got us 10m ISK (2m ISK each), a small ransom but still a successful (And my first) one.

After this we decided to continue heading back to HQ and dock up, however after this someone came with the idea to try a suicide gank, so after some setting up we headed on out.

Roam Report: 13/8/112 YC

As you can read in my previous post I’ve applied for Hellfleet and I’ve been invited to fleet up and roam around with them, so here’s a report of the latest one.

When I joined the fleet I had no idea what we were doing, all I knew was what the mandatory fitting was (cruiser, remote armor reppers and some other stuff).

So when the briefing started it turned out as a sort of remote repping course, the basics were explained and after that we set out learning while we were roaming about.

As soon as we undocked someone immediately managed to get gate aggro by remote repping someone else, resulting in a perfect training environment of the gate guns rotating targets and us keeping up with them.

After this we continued to roam about with the gate guns still aggressive to us so the learning continued.

After a while we managed to spot what I think was a Zaelot, we warped back and forth between gates at 100km for a while however he kept warping to the gate at 0.

After the last warp he started approaching us, and we decided to approach him, we locked him up and started orbiting, while keeping a close look on our watch list to make sure no one would get blown up.

After a while it became apparent we weren’t going to break his tank (Cruisers don’t do that much damage), and one of us even died because we ran out of cap.

After this the Zaelots friends warped in so we decided to jump. After this we somehow encountered them again, however this time some of us had trouble warping out and didn’t survive.

Finally we decided to dock up to refit, however as everyone was getting a bit tired we decided to call it a day and go home.

So my first steps into the realms of remote repping, it’s quite hard to keep up with the RRing while still putting up a fight, however it’s powerful so good thing I get some experience with it.

EVE Online: New Ship

By Xeross Posted in EVE Online Comments (5)

Well I finally got a new ship after saving up and it works great, it’s not faster then my old ship but it’s a lot stronger, I can now do lvl2 missions instead of lvl1 and they barely damage me at all. The ship also uses medium instead of small turrets and heavy missile launchers instead of light missile launchers.
