Ever since I started playing EVE, I have been set on the path of the pirate. I joined Pyrotechnics Inc. and have been loyal to them since.
Though I enjoy the art of piracy, and it will always be my main form of living in New Eden, i needed a bit of something new.
Amamake and the nearby systems began to become old and stale. Sure they offered plenty of kills, and had everything i needed... But there was a much larger world to explore and i wanted to see it!
At the same time i needed more complexity, i needed something more happening than simply pirate roams everywhere i looked, day after day. I wanted to see the taste of actual war around me, i wanted to see the political conflicts that unfold, i wanted something more...
I had been wanting this for a while and planned to start my own corporation in the near future, but i knew i wasn't experienced enough yet to lead it successfully, and i didn't want to jump the gun.
Pyro has been dead for a long time and when i came back i was hoping to help it revive somehow. but as time went on and progress wasnt being made... I began thinking of leaving, and with the desire to see more, and it becoming more apparent that i would find those things in pyro, so i left.
I got in touch with my friend Romeo Blakstorm and asked him about the corp he was in. I had read about it in his blog and it seemed right up my ally of what im looking for. He gave me more details and it sounded perfect. with that i hauled my crap to Otsasai and threw in my application. I was accepted shortly after and was pleased with what i found. Gravis Unbound being a member of The Council. Alliance. they have a bit of everything, and seem to do em well. The low sec system i set camp in borders null sec and provides easy in and out access. The Council is currently involved in some political affairs and wars seem to happen off and on with them.
So far this is looking like exactly what i wanted. it will give me new oceans to pirate, and an opportunity to get a taste for other interesting things for me. I think i just found my new home :)
until next time, fly safe, because im still hunting... just in new locations :P

Back and better than ever!
Well it has been a while since I have posted a blog... In fact, it has been a while since I have ventured into New Eden all together. My computer broke and as a result, I couldn't play, But it's fixed now and just as the title says, I'm back and better than ever!
I made my return about two days ago, I was with out a corporation, and Pyrotechnics Inc. looked to be history. I figured i would be playing a solo hunter until i was picked up again. the first few hours were spent setting all my things up for pirating once more. Setting up my overview, testing, tweaking, making sure i was ready to go.
After a few hours, an old friend of mine opened up a private communications window with me. That friend was Nursultan, who happened to be the new CEO of Pyrotechnics Inc. and the last thing keeping it alive.
We exchanged greetings, and then he asked me what my plans for the game were now, if i was still wanting to be the pirate i started the game as. Pirating is the reason i loved this game, and it was the reason i made it a priority to come back, so i replied with an enthusiastic "Hell Yeah!"
I threw my application in, and was back home short after. Pyrotechnics seems to have died down, but it was nothing new to me. I joined the first time as its first member, so I've seen it empty before, and I'm sure I'll see it grow again. None of that matters of course, as long as the few of us in there keep the killmail rolling in at least, and that is exactly what me and Nursultan have been doing.
As soon as i threw in my application, i was out and hunting. Nursultan and I found our selves in the Egghelende system. him with a Rifter and a Prober, and me with my trusty Rifter, The Phase Hawk. we scanned for a bit and Nursultan found a target to probe. Seems we found our selves a stabber running a few missions in low sec. Nursultans probe warped in and we warped to it. Gained point and quickly finished the stabber off. After that, we got point on his pod, and were able to ransom him for 2 mil. he left and we grabbed the loot from his ship...and its a good thing we ransomed him...because the loot was just awful.
after that, we probed out a Ishkur, and i really wish we wouldn't have... Nursultan called me in and we opened fire. now what we didnt realize was the Pilot was from The Tuskers, and at the same time, a Vengeance warped in as well... this time we were not so lucky... we held our ground for a bit, but were eventually taken down. we grabbed new ships, and Nursultan grabbed a Rupture to gain our revenge, but they were long gone by the time we got back.
A 1 for 1 night that was, but i did redeem my self the next night. once again we were back in egg, we had our usual trio, me piloting my Rifter, while Nurlutan is probing and piloting a Jaguar for his offensive actions. we got a catalyst on scan, and probed it out. once gaining some info on him, Nurultan said i should go in alone and solo him. I reviewed his info my self, and saw easy prey before me. I warped in, and did standard tactics. scramble, web, after burn, fire. he got my shields to 50%, i took him out. Tried to grab his pod, but he got away to fast.
back to safe, Nursultan probed while i wated for my GCC to expire. it expired and i dropped the loot off, nothing special, but still nice. we eventually probed out another catalyst, and once again, i was sent in solo. the results of this fight were better than the last. same tactics, except this time i threw in a nuet pulse or two to knock out his small shield tank. I was to fast for this one as he wasnt able to hit me even once the entire fight. the whole time i was playing the the song "Hammer time by MC Hammer" in my head "buh nuh nuh nuh, nuh nuh, cant touch this" finally, his fate joined the same as the other catalyst. This time however, i grabbed his pod. tried for a ransom of 2 mil, he was still young, so i made it cheap. he refused, so i blew up the rotten egg.
once again waiting for my GCC to expire, with two minutes left, Nursultan scanned out a drake at a belt, i warped in, this time me and him were gonna take him together. we had to be fast, we were at a belt and a unwanted intrusion was a big possibility. the drake had a nice shield tank, and made getting through his shields tough. he also had a nuet, and was using it on Nursultan quite a bit. The thing he didnt realize was, I also have a nuet fitted on my passive tank Rifter, and was nicely pulsing it on him, taking down his ability to hold that shield tank. we eventually broke his shield tank, and the armor was shredded through with little resistance, the hull coming down even easier. Once again, i took no damage, and once again we grabbed his pod. Nursultan opened communications with our new toy and started ransom negotiation. while he did that, i grabbed the loot. Negotiations didn't go well and we threw out yet another bad egg... but this time it was fine, because the loot from the ship was really nice, and sold for a total of 40mil!
Once sold, we split it 50/50 and decided to call it a night, and a very successful one at that! 3 kills, one being a huge pay off, and zero deaths. very nice indeed.
so lets list my pirate record in the two days i have been back

Yup, for some reason, i seem to be a lot better than i used to be, but I'm not complaining lol.
Anyways, thanks for reading, and until next time, fly safe because I'll be hunting >:)
