The video name is drawn from Battletech/MechWarrior and roughly means honorable combat.

This video is mostly solo with 2 small gang fights thrown in. I have NO gang links, pirate implants, K-space scouts, hidden support, or fighting with gate/station guns on my side. For the WH stuff I do have a scan ship inside with me as I don’t want the WH to close and be trapped inside forever/self-destructing.

The video is in full screen view. I recently purchased a new monitor (wide-screen) with my new computer and I knew the footage would not mix well so I had a choice of throw the footage away, not use my new monitor, or make an Eve PvP video out of it. I obviously chose the latter with this post here. The footage is at different quality due to buying a computer that can handle Eve at full graphics. Future videos will be in wide screen at max graphics.

For the vs list, white means alive and visibly on-grid, yellow means it has left grid/cloaked/jumped, and red means dead.

Nice. I dislike the 100mn Talos in theory but I can't deny you make the most of it, and especially liked that last fight.

Nice work man.

I was impressed with the fight vs the Tengus, I take it those 2 hardeners you were running were both kinetic and that none of them bothered to switch ammo types?

Good fights and good music, was quite enjoyable.

Thanks everyone.

For the Talos, yeah. I believe that the MWD version is better in principle; I just like the surprise factor of the AB for missile boats and living in a black hole WH until recently I've become accustomed to terrible agility.

For the Ishtar, I know I had at least 1 kinetic hardener, may have had 2 for that fight. I was keeping myself topped off armor wise for when their friends arrived or else they remembered that missiles come in more than one type but that never happened.

I must admit i really enjoyed this movie.

Started out watching the Youtube link, and then paused it to dowload the full resolution clip off EVE-files.

It's a humble little stitch-up, but all the fights had a pinch of quality and i think the chosen format of just a couple of fights like that served the presentation well. It's not overly ambitious, but that is also what makes it fun to watch.

It didn't feel like 15 mins, and there is no better praise a movie can get, than being said it entertains you from beginning to end.

Good job!

Not bad, not bad.

I really like the fight at the end vs drake and rapier. Very close! Overall though I felt the video was a little too sped up and I never really had much time to appreciate the intricacies of any of the fights.

Keep frapsing!

Not bad, but a lot of places to improve.

First off I'm not sure what recording program you used but it seems to skip 5 frames for every 15 it recorded, I've not seen something like that before so am not sure what that was about.

Few of the fights were decent and a few not so much, but music was pretty great (mad props for last exile OST)

Kepp it up

Hmm, played fine on my computer and the people I asked to watch it before posting didn't see any of that. Perhaps an issue with the codec I used and your decoder? You didn't mention having an issue with my last video and I was using the same programs (FRAPS, kdenlive, etc) and hardware but I encoded that one with a different codec.

If anyone else sees that please let me know and I'll use a different codec next time.

Yeah I didn't get any such problem. I think it's something on your end Shiroi.

Yeah you're right, I tried it in a couple of other video players and it worked fine, whatever codex you used must have taken issue with zoom player. It was a much nicer watch when it was smooth though, enjoyed it a lot more :P
