Story Time:

Back in our old Brick Squad days we were in Delve (then, our 2nd deployment there) Big smile

In corp we sometimes share our AARs and stories, this was one of mine.



I was having an Eve day that was actually kind of off.

I had joined a morning fleet and had a cane melted just before the fleet got gobs and gobs of kills. Oh well it happens sometimes, last time I reshipped and was in on a ton of kills, chin up.

Being a Saturday, I was doing some chores about the house. I replaced a ceiling fan with a new light fixture, moved a bed around (company coming in a week) … cleaned the kitchen and did a bit of garage stuff. With a fair bit done, I exclaimed "I think I will game for a bit and make up a loss". Mrs. Quotan, still happy with the light fixture etc. smiled and said "enjoy!".

I connected up to MM (remember MM?) mumble, found the biggest group and I hear “forming up on the PR gate” … music to my ears. It is a LRBC defense fleet, ready to go. I quickly connected to Eve, joined the fleet and off I went.

It was standard defense stuff and the FC had us jump though and work our way to Nol. We were following a hostile group that was now jumping out and heading down the pipe…

Intel had this as a Nulli Gang of about 20 or less and very killable with our fleet comp. There was some grumping within the fleet, however, about mixed standings in the group and it being Nulli. This got more or less sorted and then intel fired up…

“Gang on gate!!” and then wrrrrrrrrrrrr “group B go to” wwwwwrrrrrrrr!!!!! “Move Move! Move! ge..” WWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR. WTF!!!

Mrs. Quotan, PLEASE shut off the vacuum!!

@$##$!!!, switch to fleet view, no purple …. Next gate half purple. WWWWWWERRRRRRRRR Goddamn! Must be those who stayed back because they are blue to Nulli … off to next gate “Get to gat…” WRRRRRRRRRRR “For the love of God PLEASE shut off the…. “What? What did you say? “Oh F#$@ it, warp at zero….

Strait Into a bubble with Nulli … “Bugger Bugger! %$%#! Damn Damn” (Bela quote or close to it). Another cane melted. Damn, I won’t get these kills either. %$#@#!.

Well, kinda of hard to get mad at someone for vacuuming and then me being stupid but … I think I better go for a walk.

So the evening progressed, we ordered a pizza and watched a bit of TV and it was off to bed.

Quotan did not feel the Eve love yet though and Mrs. Quotan was now fast asleep. Hmmm wonder if there is another fleet up?

Up I get, MM coms and strait into another BC fleet forming up (gotta love Delve!) I am now putting together a Drake but having a bit of a fitting issue. I think maybe I will just let this one go and go back to bed. Then, a voice like Jaha’s comes into comms and is trying to steal some tackle for another fleet, if we do not mind etc. etc. Our fleet is still small and our FC asks what they are up to… gets the idea it is something good and says… “You can have my whole fleet” so we merge.

A chorus of “what ships types you want” and a call for armor… later followed by “Actually I do not care what the hell you bring… kitchen sink, bring whatever you have and get on Titan! (me thinks this may be good).

I arrived on Titan in my half contract fit, half mid fit …gotta go now Drake but it will half to do (it is something good I can smell it).

One minute later, I was in 8-YNBE melting two Dreadnaughts and two Battleships at over 4 bill total (old prices).

I was now feeling the Eve love

Come join us and be a part of the story!

Plenty of action to be had, from the smallest Frig fleet to major Supercapital action with our allies in Honeybadger Coalition: principally TEST and Pandemic Legion.

But you also get a great tight-knit corp full of mature, fun loving guys, without all of the drama and sperging seen in some of the other coalition corps.

Come and try us - you won't regret it.

Had some fun Corp ops yesterday and some training sessions today for newer pilots (apart from all the alliance activities).

Always something to do.

I was actually one of the people being put through their paces yesterday, and as someone who is still very new to the actual 'ins and outs' of fleet warfare, it was a very exciting thing to do. A very experienced veteran spent two hours leading a group of us, roaming the space lanes, explaining a lot of things that are very useful to know when taking part in a fleet. It was all very practical, and I'm sure it will end up saving my pod in the future.

I can't stress enough how brilliant this group of people is. I've tried taking part in the life in null sec before and found it terribly impersonal, boring and grindy, and I figured I'll give it one more shot before I give up on the whole thing - and I'm very glad that I did.

If you ever imagined yourself flying side by side with Titans, and yet to never feel dwarfed by their presence simply because you know that you are part of a fantastic bunch of people that value your presence, who help you develop yourself to your full potential, and who very happily invest a lot of their time and isk in you, then just send us a message, and chances are that you'll be welcomed with open arms.

Don't hesitate - Apply today!

Thank you Dudemeister Big smile

As you can see, by Dude's post our approach to recruiting great people to be with, is working out well for us. What it comes down to is we like to spend time with good people.

We are thrilled with the people that have been joining and look forward to other new bros looking to join, for fun in Null sec.

Our cop is well established.

A bump for a great group of guys/girls. Been playing with them for a couple weeks now and they ahve been nothing but fantastic and helpful for a complete noob in nullsec.

A message of support from a friend...

When I grow up to be a combat pilot, I'm going to join Ardent Spirits!

Seriously, if you want a low drama corp which gives you access to all the fun and benefits of nullsec, AS is hard to beat.

Roll up, roll up!

Come join all the fun of the Honeybadger Coalition, with the best bunch of guys in space.

If you're new to Nullsec we can help get you started, we have great logistics to get you "in theatre" and into the action, and provide a fun, but low-drama, environment for you to hang out with a great bunch of guys. Come speak to us in our public channel, "RDNT." (yes, there's a dot...)

Ardent Spirits (aka AS or RDNT) are a great corp for players old and new alike to join.

We have new guys only just out of hisec, and we have "bittervets" who've been there and seen that.

And what unites us all is a common bond of genuine comredeship.

You really couldn't hope to meet a more helpful, all around decent and fun loving group of players in Eve.

Some may be almost as helpful, a few may be nearly as decent, and there even may be some who are yet more fun loving, but no other corp out there combines all three qualities in each and every member. Well. Nearly every member. But I won't name names on the few who lack slightly in any one particular area...

So whether you're a carebear who's suddenly developed a craving for death and destruction or a "bittervet" who's sick and tired of the overblown drama all too prevalent in many Eve corps, come give AS a try. You won't regret it.

Story Time!


A while back, a few alliances ago it was just before Christmas I think as it is now. It had been a bit quiet following a move as it things can be when an allinace has a relocation. In any case MathewMn (a great guy to fly with) was just starting out as an FC then so his fleets had been typically smaller gang and without logi support.

Our numbers this night, however, were not terribad and we had hit about 18 to 20. We also had some logi support as well as a WH to investigate Big smile

The WH was located at 5FCV-A and we gathered there at the entrance with scout on its way in. The bouncing orifice lead to the Outer Ring (cool) and we soon had a Drake off station aggressed (D5IW-F). In we went for the kill, then the pod.

We played station games a bit with the locals and checked surrounding systems, but decided when said and done to head back. Meanwhile, we were being joined by another pilot by the name of "PoLL", flying a Scimitar.

I would soon thank this fantastic logi pilot, not once but three times, as many others would.

Safely back in our home systems, our roam would then take us through the Great Wildlands to engage an enemy Drake fleet in M-MD3B.

We were in close and bubbled (ours) not my favorite position to be in but being close range fit, pulling out would mean pulling off DPS and we had Logi, cross fingers.

The Drakes were going down, one by one, so far so good and then came the DPS, 20% (call for reps) 30% gone and back down I go (awesome) another drake down, here comes the DPS 20,30,40% of my shields gone, more reps and back to 20% another drake down. DPS switched off to someone else (Thank you Poll) and onto a Rapier I think. The DPS is back on me 20,30,40,50 back down and then the run 20,30,40,50,60,70,80% gone rep rep rep and just a few drakes to go, repped all the way back to full shields.

I never went into armor and Poll kept me alive, great fight! I thought it was a nice touch that the scimitar pilot had armor repair drones and was able to top up another pilot that took damage.

The rest of the evening was getting kills as they came and a good night had by all. We lost little and had a great fleet.

So Poll, if you ever come across this post, thanks again! I have enjoyed many fleets with you since.

Come on and be a part of the story, you will have a great time!

I just want to point out that it took me only a few days before I was participating in a rather large fleet, scouting surrounding systems for reds (i.e. doing something very useful). Worried that you can't fit the ships required to have fun? I can barely fit my own underpants!

So what are you doing reading this? Big smile
