Ok, a short story in bound

Yeah, some weird corp things happened and a character lost its owner. A short story about body swapping and rejection inbound. Stay tuned.

Yeah, last night

Had a good time on last night I must say. We were fleeting around as usual, this time in quite an impressive force I must say. We had one mega (me obv), a raven, a scorp and an abbadon (sp? lol) a bunch of Battlecruisers as well. Our FC (Fleet commander) Jack decided it'd be a good idea to try to bait a bunch of enemies into aggressing a bunch of neutrals outside the station, (remember, in Eve friendships are formed when your used as a fishing tackle.) thankfully they agreed. We managed to get a pretty good fight outta them, but they chickened out when they saw our fleet blob in. I had my special Caldari ammo loaded, so I was doing maybe 25% extra damage per volley. We nearly managed to take down a Hurricane, a Minmatar BC. But he docked like a coward.

The corp seems to be growing quite nicely now. In the few days we've been active, our numbers are already at 15. That’s seriously impressive for a pirate corp. We also recently found out that one of our corp members has learned to fly a carrier. So he decided to 'borrow' it from his old corp. We laughed heartily.

In alliance news, we also found out we have super cap ship support. Again, this is too much awesome.

Heres a photo from the fleet op last night

A fairly ok day

Yeah, today I didn't do much. I checked out the market. Made some profits. I'm currently in the process of trying to make billions... like that'll happen. Anyhoo, yeah our corps fine atm. We're getting some players on, recruitment is still active.

On a side note, I came across this today on my travels:

Its an old disused space station. Maybe it suffered a horrific castastrophe? A scientist researching a new form of warp travel. His preliminary tests are a-Ok, he takes his results to the station manager, he reluctantly gives his go ahead for an industrial sized lab to be constructed. Its taken years worth of effort to get this far. A life spent trying to improve those of others. The scientists career rests on this test. The G-men's advisors are here from the Caldari senate. It goes HORRIFICALLY WRONG! Then they build a Warpgate beside it. Or maybe just a dev got bored. I dunno.

Heres an interesting photo.

A weird bug I found. This is quite a cool effect its making. Like my little Ibis is being cocooned by my Drake. It's a bit broken.

The Reformed

Quite nicely named I must say. This is our new corp, under the leadership of Jack Morrison. Recruitment is open, so come join if you want. We have an office in Fensi V Moon 1 Emperor Family Bureau. Its low sec. But this is mostly where our alliance hangs out, here and Daran. (I’ll update more stations on the way.)

If you need advice find us in the channel The Reformed Public. Guaranteed there'll be someone here to recruit you.

Oh yeah, also onto more Eve stuff, the alliance we're fighting, the "Chain of Chaos", is becoming more outnumbered by the day. If you want to take part in taking down a mean bully, then now is the time to sign up with us!

Internet drama ftw!

Yes, some indeed. Today when I logged on I came to the site of a past warzone. Words had been exchanged in some fairly backhanded way that had split our corp into two. Our CEO caught word that our vice-CEO could possibly be a spy. (This isn't the case, since I have several friends who can vouch for him.) This caused some nasty goings on in our CEO's mind. He dumped the corp wallet (which I'm guessing wasn't just his money) into his account for 'safe keeping', and furthermore asked a fellow corp member to 'keep an eye on him'. Which we thought was fairly unnecessary. Trust issues were formed. More words exchanged. So the vice-CEO made a new corp. My friend was kicked outta the corp for no reason (at least from what I can tell). So apparently I’m now going to join another pirate corp! Oh the joys. This my friends is why Eve is both amazing and downright annoying at times. Amazing in the sense that this game allows such things to happen. And annoying because it does happen. Ah well what can yah do?

Oh yeah, where’s my 1 Million isk you said you’d give me? :D

Thursday 22 October 2009

Ok, well today was quite exciting. Our arch enemies, which I shall call Rooster from now on, are going to be facing some serious threats. Today we manage to amass a fleet of around 24 people, at its max. We had a mix of battleships and what not. Not alot of Ewar, but that should change. We didn't get to kill anyone, but we did pop a few ships I believe, a covertop's, and we nearly killed a Dominix. As usual we got really stupid smack talk. It was quite interesting to hear it. The guy tried to big himself up by saying "Yeah, I could take you all on 1v1 blah blah blah" Which we all laughed at. I also decided to start a steady source of income. "Buy low and sell hi-risk." Basically my new idea of buying stuff where its safe, and doing the hard/scary work of transporting it to hi-risk areas (such as the area we're in) slap a massive profit margin, mines 25% and watch as money rolls in :D

Most of the ventrillo chat involved people referring to the enemy as cocks, because their acronym sounds like it :D

I took some pretty good photos today of our fleet (blob) hanging around. Here they are.

Well, my first taste of blood and metal

Happened in a nearby system our corp had laid its eyes on. We were out on a 'casual' roam, me in my Mega, and a fellow mega pilot. (While waiting between easy pickings we decided it'd be a good idea to 'mate' our megas, picture below.) A drake, a stealth bomber, (which i've forgotten the name of) were all hanging about. We fought a drake, but ran away like cowards when we thought a command ship belonging to the same corp jumped in. It didn't. And our only major attack was ganging up on a poor helpless mining cruiser (the amarr one) and ransom it. What really surprised me is that we didn't kill him, we let him get on his way. Quite possibly because our arch rivals in this area decided to blob (Send a massive fleet of ships through at one time. Looks like a blob of ship icons on your screen... only a lot worse than i've described.) the system.

Behold! The MEGA-MEGA

Monday 19 October 2009

So, I'm actually in the corp now.

Just a quick post to say I've joined the pirating corp. After some helpful advice from a fellow pirate i managed to loadout my gallente battleship, a megathron (AKA Bonus) to some shooty shooty bang bang levels.

Its fairly powerful (i think at least) so i should be getting into some fun fights.

Funny story time: We were in a small fleet of about 10 ships just hanging around, doing the local riff raff stuff, and suddenly this Rifter pops in and starts circling the gate. We tried to kill it, but our BS's were just to damned slow to catch this tiny frigate. So we had a cunning plan. Bait him to wait at a gate and smart bomb him.

Safe to say we never saw him again.

First!

Hello and welcome to my small Eve-online journal about me, Nilocy. I'll list a few of the things I'm going to be doing for the next 3 months in this. It'll probably fail spectacularly in about twelve minutes from my first post though.

Ok, so here I am: Nilocy; small time veteran of Eve-online. I have a fairly large amount of experience of combat, economics and industry (Currently a jack of all trades master of none) I'm hoping to change that.

My goal: Become (in)famous.

So, today I resubscribed after a few months of not playing. Not much has changed. I still have alot of money, and big ships to go lose. Hopefully I'll earn enough to keep it at a happy medium.

So, I start with my journey today, leaving my home in Caldari space to go join a friends pirating corporation in Amarr space. The journey is roughly 19 jumps long, takes me about 20 minutes to complete.

On my ways, I pass this unusual site. It’s a blob of NPC police ships (Concord). Apparently someone had a feud at the gates in Empire space (bad mistake) as Concord are nearly indestructible.

Eventually I got to my new home; I've applied and now settling in. I'm currently going out on my first fleet op. Stay tuned!
