Though I planned to write about our move to 0.0, there is so much more happening right now. And I don’t want to lock you out of these thrilling experiences.

As you might have noticed: This site is called Munich Mataris, as our main characters are all Minmatars. Because the part of space we moved to is dominated by Caldaris, life is sometimes quite hard being a Minmatar when it comes to ratting, etc. So I bought a Caldari Character from a fellow player. Did I mention that after half a year I’m doing things I never thought I would when I started playing the game? Like opening up a second account or buying a character? I would have called myself a nerd some months ago. Well I am one now, a nerd for EVE.

May I introduce: Spezialistin! She has 17 Mio. skillpoints and has mainly been trained to fly Battleships and Capitals. I, DocFloyd am  focusing more on smaller ships like Hacs, Hics and the proper support-skills. On the other side Spezialistin gives me the possibility to take part in Battleship fleetfights, homedefences and PvE-operations, where a big tank and high dps are needed. And that’s what I’m in right now. Because Venal is on fire.

The alliance Circle Of Two (2nd winner of the Alliance Tournament VII) have been resetted by the Northern Coalition. It’s said that they scouted blue targets for WEPRA-corp and there might have been some other political entanglements that led to this reset. As a result our alliance “Majesta Empire” has “called to arms (cta)”  and initiated “Operation Cleansweep”. When a “cta” is called, all taxes are raised to 100%, resulting in carebears either logging off or (hopefully) participating in the op that is about to start. Next to several roamings going on ’round Venal in order to clean the area from CO2s and WEPRA guys, we also managed to shoot down one of CO2′s POS with a fleet of 140 ships. Carriers, dreadnoughts and a sh**load of sniper-battleships participated in this operation. Including Spezialistin in a Sniper-Rokh. And it was a flawless success. We even put up a new POS to claim the area and benefit from the moons there.

Yesterday evening I, DocFloyd, looked forward to the daily roaming my corp “Community for Justice” arranges. To support the efforts of our alliance, we decided to go to Venal to clean the area a bit. Our final destination was 6NJ8-V. This system is mostly inhabited by ERROR capsuleers. Our scout jumped into a nearby dead-end system, scanning for a lonely hurricane pilot while we were waiting at the gate. All of a sudden the gate-fire lit up. Our senses strengthened and QManiac instantly threw a bubble with his Eris. This must be the Nighthawk that Kalew, our scout, reported while he was busy looking for the Hurricane. What a nice target to add to my killboard. I engaged the Warp Disruptor module as well as all my guns and missile slots, waiting for our opponent to decloak.

We needn’t wait any longer. The Nighthawk appeared on my overview and the sheer firepower of our weapons was unleashed the moment the tracking computer got a positive lock on the command-ship. To our surprise the tank didn’t last very long and the Nighthawk was history in a few seconds. Needless to say that we killed the hurricane as well. The rest of our trip was quite eventless, until…

…on our way back to TVN-FM, just before we wanted to engage the jump-routine of a gate, a neutral jumped into the system. One look on my scanner told me that it was a tempest. QManiac didn’t hesitate and launched one of his deadly bubbles. And lucky (-.-) us, the Minmatar Battleship jumped right into our faces. Locked, tackled, webbed and engaged we constantly orbitted the guy from WEPRA Corp, pounding one round after the other into his plates. Right at the moment when his armor was down to one half, a Phoon and an Apoc jumped in to help their mate. “No worries”, Q said via the intercom, “first we take down the Tempest, then the others get what they deserve!” The moment he finished his last words, local blobbed. Another 20 WEPRAS jumped in. Most of them in Battleships and a few in Guardians and other support-ships. “Time to save our lovely backs“, I thought and engaged the warp-drive. Not a second too early. Two guys in our fleet didn’t make it in time. After a few GFs in local the WEPRAS dissappeared in the vastness of space. It wouldn’t be the last time we met.

The flight back to TVN-FM wasn’t quite eventful. We took a short-cut via a Morsus Mihi jumpbridge and disbanded the fleet shortly after. Trolling back to the nightly routines like checking skills, our home system suddenly filled with reds. Surprise surprise. The WEPRAS again. Quickly a homedef fleet was assembled and positioned at a POS in TVN. Unfortunately I was trapped in the station and couldn’t get out as the reds camped it. But after a short while they disbanded their camp and vanished. Boarding Spezialistin’s Sniper-Rokh the fleet quickly headed for an interception-point to let CO2′s little pets bleed. Jumping through the gate that led us to our destination, the overview quickly filled with reds. Fat and juicy Battleship-size targets for our roaring weaponry. Primary and secondary targets were called and the slaughter began. In between intelligence reported that the WEPRA operation was just a diversion from a CO2 op intending to destroy our lately erected POS. To make a long story short, this didn’t work as Majesta and NC managed to defend the tower.

Not the best days for CO2. I really enjoy the situation as there are daily roamings and fleets that give me the possibility to gain experience in PvP. And we don’t have to fly to Perrigean Falls to pewpew our favourite targets as Venal fills up with enemies. Now they are coming to us. Luv it!

This isn’t the next part of my moving to 0.0 story as promised, but I can’t resist telling you about my little successes in the new corp.

After being one month in 0.0, it looks like I am already quite settled in my new environment. I participate in our daily roamings nearly every evening. This is just possible as my RL’s spare time is not that challenging right now. But this will change the next weeks, when my fellow-bandmembers return from their holidays. ^^

The only PvP-experience I had before I moved to 0.0 were frig-duels in front of stations or trying to catch a pilot in low-sec. I wasn’t experienced in fleet-fighting at all. But this drastically changed in my new corp. There are several roamings going on and you have the possibility to participate in gate-camps as well as in other operations the alliance guys organize. So if you are keen on pew pew, you can get it on a daily basis. This leads me to the actual topic of this post.

Last week Mr. DocFloyd made himself comfortable on top of the top-killers list of the Community For Justice killboard. And my performance doen’t look that bad on the alliance killboard as well. Second best of the top-scorers. Just Nukey, one of my corp-mates has a better performance there. He loves to do solo roams with his vagabond, and he is quite good at it as you can see if you dare to have a look at his stats.

So, next post will definitely be about the move to 0.0. Fly reckless capsuleers! Hope to meet you in a roam, where the last thing you will see is the muzzle-flash of my roaring guns. I will even provide the special service of a pod-kill, so that you’ll be back home in the glimpse of an eye.
