View Full Version : VHI - How We Roll

So everyone is chilling in our home system, little bit of mining, little bit of NPC ratting. Typical night. Some character thats half a year old (fairly high skills in EVE by that point usually) warps into the belt I'm in, flying a Tempest Battleship. Big nasty ship, 5 times my size.
Now his mining barge alt warps in.
I cant believe it, he had to have seen me, he has to have seen my pirate security status....
I warp off and, naturally, start plotting to blow him up.
The Corp is informed and starts to assemble.

someone else that i cant fuckin remember cause i'm too tired
We all get our shit in gear, get setup to lockdown and ransom 2 very expensive ships.
Druz warps us all into the belt and all hell breaks loose. The barge manages to get warped away, he must have been setup for a quick getaway. But the battleship remains, and being that its 7 small fast ships against his one, big slow ship, we chew him like a pack of rabid pitbulls on a hobo in july.
Druz offers him a simple choice: We blow up you and your ship, or you eject from your ship and get to run away.
Now, we dont honestly think he is going to do this.
No one is that stupid
Wait, he is.
So he gets away in his little pod and Stig ejects from his ship and takes over the battleship.
We all warp off to a distnat planet and Ddecide that Kegger gets the battleship, since he was mining for the materials to make one, and Jacking someone elses ride is far, far more piratical than building one.
In short, fuckin awesome event.

I'd take a tempest for a punisher any day, and hell, Stig got to keep his punisher too :D! Nothing short of fucking AWESOME. If he was serious about what he was saying, then I think we made him quit the game as well :)

I sent you an offer right back...you never accepted it Dinko D: and Rebus, I just sent out the trial ;o

Many thanks. I'm going to go ahead and set up everything. :)
Is there a specific server you guys are on in the chance I like the game?
Druzil
January 8th, 2006, 06:05 AM
;o It's all on one server, no server shards. We're located in the system Uplingur, but before coming here I'd suggest doing the tutorial first (so stick around where you start until you finish it). When you create your character, pick the skills that let you start with Frigate level four, and your attributes should be leaned more towards Perception and Willpower, though Intelligence and Memory are also fairly important (fuck Charisma). When you get in-game, just message DruzidelCastro and I'll help you with whatever :p

Piracy is educational, it teaches you:
-Shit, I shouldnt have done that
-Holy shit, I cant believe he did that
-This is going to hurt

I gotta know, is it possible to set up a "Q-Ship"? In gaming terms I envision a mining barge with heavy shielding and weaponry.
By the way, I think I'll grab the trial now that I have XP set up.
Splitlip
January 10th, 2006, 03:54 AM
yeah. i have an industrial (think largish cargo ship), that i have setup with warp stabilizers, and a heavy sheild, only problem is, people can scan your ship if they fit the right module, that and folks are going to be wary of a lone industrial sitting around with a pilot who has a low security status.
To be honest, its just not our way.

"Kenneth McCoy" is my ingame. Once you're ready, head on over to a solar system called "Hek", it's the high sec hangout we usually are around. Make sure to set your autopilot settings to the safe route, try not to go through lowsec yet.

Ill take you under my wing. My specialities include, mooching (free ships and stuff)and the knack of knowing when to leave these mofos to die and run.

Awesome! I'll prolly swing through Hek later today, from there, someone can teach me about proper fittings on my ship. Combat isn't hard, but it can be grinding sometimes. You just have to find some friends quickly for a game like this. My ingame is iDamien.
