A lot of stuff has happened in my EVE-life recently…
THE GOODS:
The war against TRI, CO2 and pets in Pure Blind has been succesfully completed by the Northern Coalition which I am a part of. No signs of carebearing for weeks, which was exactly my kind of thing. We even declared war to AAA, Tri and friends to be able to sweep away all their Black Rise low-sec towers (at least the ones that are interesting – Technetium and stuff) without hitting a -10 sec status in one day. My corp was very supportive by donating several ships to their members, but I actually wasn’t in desperate need of supplies as my Tempest survived the whole campaign. Although my name is more or less on top of the target-list and a Pest is always a welcome prey, “Flea” had the pleasure to fight in nearly every OP that was going on, providing me with loads of…
Kills! My actual goal was to reach my 1000th kill around my first birthday on 23rd April 2010. I was even happier to reach that mark 3 months earlier. Loads of thanks to Mr.Alexsr who donated his mighty Drake to be the 1000th kill of my trustworthy Alter Ego “DocFloyd”. But after sitting in huge rusty monsters for nearly a month, I looked forward to flying in little, agile ships again. And as Doc recently learned to fly Stealth-Bombers it was time to transfer my capsule into a brandnew…
Hound. I really like this sneaky little beast. We have several small bomber-OPs running ’round Tribute, Venal and Pure Blind. Thanks Vasim for your great FCing there! He leads the fleet every evening and for a new SB pilot it’s perfect to learn to rock this baby from scratch. Nevertheless my first bomb-kill was a solo-kill, although not really intended. I was in ROIR / Pure Blind when I got intel about a red prowler constantly hauling stuff from the Sisters of Eve station to an unknown spot. I hit my thrusters, activated the cloak and approached a spot 30km away from the undock point. After a short while a juicy red bracket appeared on my screen. The prowler. Full speed! decloak!… I hit the bomb-button and off it went. But the prowler-pilot had enough time to react as bombs travel slowly. He warped off and the projectile spread it’s deadly power into the nothingness of space, or did it? To my surprise I found a bomber kill on my KB the next day: Mr. Blind76 received the Purple Heart for being my first victim. He must have dropped out of warp when my shrapnel exploded. And as he was attacked by a POS before, his hull immediately broke to the sheer destructive power my bomb unleashed on him. Nice to have (a kind of) solo-kill on a brandnew ship-class. Last but not least, some carebearing stuff, I put up my first…
Player Owned Structure. I built it to have a more relaxed money-income, supporting my PvP-dedication. I was quite surprised that I found an unoccupied moon in a low-sec system bordering a 0.5 high-sec system. Perfect for simple-reaction products to haul to the nearby trade-hub. This way I just have to take care of fuel and mineral-supply every now and then. Great stuff and it works like a charm.
Next time, I’ll amuse you with the bad things that happened on the dark side of EVE. Fly recklessly!

Flycatcher is a dictor, not a bomber.

Well I hit the flycatcher, which is a dictor with my hound, which is a bomber…
