Celebrating 100 post's - Competition Time!

 Ok guy's to celebrate my 100th post! <3 I will be doing a small competition! Send me in the most hilarious engagement you have over the next 7 days and the winner will receive a Cynabal and runner up a Dramiel!

 What am I looking for?

Well let's say you get into a hilarious engagement win or lose and you end up in tears over it laughing drunken roams, kitchen sink fleets that kind of thing! All you have to do is write up an after action report being as accurate as possible include links the kills in the report kind of like mine! I will only accept verified Eve kill links in the reports! And Eve mail them to me! It's that simple you'll have 7 days so plenty of time to find that perfect fight! The one that cracks me up the best wins it's that simple! Including a fraps of the fight wins you bonus points and if you did include fraps I'll even fit the ship for you! If you manage to get your comm's recording on as well then even better! Hell get me the enemy’s comms recording and if that gives me the giggles I may even drop a couple faction mods on too! Your entry will also be posted on the blog along with any fraps and/or copies of tears from local!

I look forward to seeing what you guys have! And good luck!

Oops we accidentally your Fleet! Twice!

Logging into Eve yesterday saw Kai begging for PvP and not being one disappoint I shipped up into my Cynabal and we went and camped a gate in D87 then moved on to V7D and 5E looking for some kills when bluespy joined us after about half a hour of not a lot of stuff to destroy the gods of EVE heard our plea and sent forth a bounty of pilots with whom we would meet head on in the field of battle!

My scout reported a small 5 man gang coming from KB- of 3 drakes and. Harbinger with only myself, Kai, blue Spy and ICUwarrior we contemplated our options! With Kai being in a stealth bomber and ICU in a flycatcher along with Spy's drake I decided to test out my abaddon! I put on insurance as I was going in balls to the wall and expected to die! The gang jumped in and warped to OSHT- our flycatcher jumped through and grabbed them as my Abaddon lumbered out of warp jumping found them just popping the flycatcher but they had burnt to gate to get him for some reason landing me 5km from them I tackled the first drake I could and they all aggressed I called primary's and we burned down the first drake then another drake by this point I'm in low armor and happy with the upcoming third kill I overheat everything and melt him to scrap the harbinger pops easily into a pool of metal chunks! The forth drake try's to run away but ICU in all his glory hero tackles it with his scouts Helios! And we kill the last drake as a Manticore drops a bomb on me trying to finish me off! Last drake pops and I warp to my bounce spot as the guys start looting the field. I am now in 35% structure! By the time the forth drake pops were in hysterics on comms mainly because we just whelped there fleet and because my Abaddon survived! I make it back to
D87 and dock up switching to the vagabond to go and pick up loot as I'm scooping a Gypsy Band gang come through so I hit my pounce as they pass by leaving the wrecks ladened with loot untouched I finish scooping everything and head home! Was one of the most fun fights I've had in a long time although I will never understand why the fit there ships the way they did! I have a feeling they were going to do a escalation but who knows. They returned later on in slightly better ships... So we chased them and camped them into OSHT- few minutes later another one of them in a lone drake jumped into my Cynabal and Titans Maelstrom and died.. Really fast! And then I hero tackled a drake in my Cynabal as the rest of there fleet ran away! The drake died pretty quick and again it was terribly fit albeit a little better then the last one! I made the mistake of not carrying any scorch or conflagration otherwise the fight would have been a lot quicker! All in all it was pretty epic. We continued to camp D87 and ran around chasing Local Down who ran away, and took a small break, coming back found an initiative gang of a couple drakes and Lachesis we decided to engage with what we had as people warped off field to ship up to BC our guys left on gate tackled and aggroed I returned in a hurricane as our sabre died after keeping point on the Lachesis! We burned there entire fleet to the ground losing only a sabre and hurricane! Small gang PvP is where it's at totally fun and no blobs! We only had a couple more then the opposing fleets and in the first instance we were out gunned and the second we were a good match up but with our hurricanes we had a lot more DPS fielded! They did have a Hugginn on field but it ran away when we started welping them!

Battle report for the first fight is here! Eve kill counted both engagements which sucks but check the killmails to confirm what was there! And the second is here!

Enjoy!

And if you wanna join eHarm for some Lols were taking on dedicated and self sufficient Eu and USTZ players so drop myself or Pollycrhest a line ingame!

Fly reckless! ( In Abaddon's )

The long road to the jump freighter

The jump freighter arguably the third most expensive ship hull in the game clocking in at around 7.2 billion isk! Half of what a Nyx or Wyvern would set you back. I've been wanting one for awhile as moving 500,000m3 of stuff with a carrier is a pain in the ass it took me 6 hours last time. Considering the amount of stuff I have floating in the depths of space station hangars I figured getting one would be beneficial to me it's Also a ship that holds its value.

The Jump freighter can hold around 350,000m3 it can also make use of the capital ships Jump drive allowing it to traverse great distances without the need for gates. The good thing about this is that I'm able to launch from my highsec drop point and move it down to my base of ops! Two trips and I'd be done, where as at the moment I'm reduced to hauling stuff to the lowsec where my carrier is, which is tedious and time consuming. I'm currently at about 4 billion isk so only another 3.2billion to go or there about's but as per normal I have to dip into the fund to buy the plexs! Luckily I have more cynabals to see! My alt character is training up jump freighters as we speak and it's going to be at least 24 days before I can use one efficiently so I have 24 days to make nearly 4b in isk! So lets see if i can make it! Any donations would be welcome ;)

Love y'all

Harsh Worlds Fiction - Serenity

I unplugged from the curse, letting the pod's fluid drain down I opened the hatch and stepped out onto the bridge. Ye crew had already disembarked from the ship leaving it deserted apart from the low hum of the ships main computing systems keeping her afloat and life support running while we were docked. I dried myself off and threw on my captains uniform, it was nothing special a close fitted jump suit with a few commendation badges attached to it and the captains insignia on it along with my corporations logo and motto embroidered onto the arm reading "Fly Reckless, Die Drunk!" I had yet to embrace the second part of this odd motto. I took the grav lift to the disembarkation area and left the ship to go and see Scotty the docking manager.

Scotty poured me a coffee as we went over the release forms for Serenity. "Trouble brewing Randy?" he asked while Typing into the computer system.
"Aye you could say that, Make sure you put all of my acquisitions on her... Im going to need as much tank and fire power as she can bring to bear" I glanced at the screen the drone cameras showed hundreds of crew ferrying parts onto my beloved Serenity. I'd never taken her out in her warfare fitting before most of her current fit was stripped while larger armour plates were fused on along with some of the officer modules I had acquired through the destruction of high ranking pirate ships. Serenity was aptly named because the ship always instilled a sense of Serenity in me the way she glided through the cosmos like a angel, granted an angel of death but still she was elegant and powerful but with this fit she would be unstoppable. I smiled as I watched the crew finish fitting out the membranes.

I stopped off at my quarters and opened up a small box inside was 6 little implants. They were named Slaves, for what reason I have no idea but they have a special purpose while plugged into my neural network they sent signal pulses to any ship I was connected to and increased its armor value considerably how it managed I have no idea but these would come in handy in the coming war.

I slumped into the hard graphite coloured bench that was apparently my couch... Caldari weren't known for there comfort this was emphasised by the entire room being about fifty shades of grey only broken up by the almost luminous green plant on a shelf.

Im coming for you, I won't stop till I've wiped you and your fleet off the map.
I thought to myself while slowly dozing off... "we shall see.... " echoed a reply.

I ignored it and slowly crept into the shadows of my mind to recoup from the last few days....


Enjoy all :)

CCP - Just a little thanks

Years ago I played Warcraft! Yes feel free to stick razor blades under my knee caps and make me jump on a trampoline, but at the time I enjoyed it, I was younger Warcraft appealed to me like a fat kid in a cake shop. I never quite got the same sense of vastness or achievement out of any other game until that is my cousin started playing Eve.

It was back around 2005 I watched him playing what is now old school Eve, the graphics were awesome as far as graphics could go back then and the game looked never ending. I remember the red and black skins for the ships before the revamp I remember the introduction of the Heavy interdictors! All from him and despite it being a harsh unforgiving world it called to me. I wanted something fresh something so far out of the box it'd built its own castle and was bombarding the stuff inside the box with cream pies. I finally made the transition to Eve sometime in the end of 2008 and I've never looked back. Eve in itself is a fantastic awe inspiring game that no one has matched. The game play is fluid and immersive, the communities are vibrant and committed providing the game with some of the best content I've ever seen in a MMO such as Helicity and Mittens Hulkageddon, The blog pack started by Crazy Kinux, The newly instated Burn Jita by the loveable morons of Goonswarm, CCP Alliance tournament, Kirith Kodachi and his BMTHOKK Event! Fact is the player base pours in so much content there like a free expansion in themselves. There fantastic every single one of them and they do, despite their sometimes callous disposition really do make Eve a forever changing universe.

CCP I salute you. For making a game that not only provides endless hours of game play, for taking on the flood of players who wish to ram pitchforks into you and standing strong, for your constant commitment to your game, for giving a home to thousands of awesome individuals, for all the work your design team, your community team, your security team every single one of you deserve a medal a big fucking medal indeed!

When it comes to MMO you guys despite the slip ups inherent with trying to please everyone at once have created one of the most fantastic games I've ever had the pleasure of playing and will continue to play for years to come. Keep up the good work and never let the mob get ya down.
