wow you killed a pod

about as impressive as killing a cyno eh


sniping away those cynos in VFK within an army of goons next to it, is like killing a heavily guarded queen sitting in her castle, wherelse killing pods of industrial companies somewhere else is like killing kids on the street

you don't know the difference, because you just look at a cyno and a pod, and don't understand the methagame around it



^ this. Yeah, it's a douche bag thing to do. I'm a pirate, it's what makes me cackle in the dark while i pretend i'm stuck on a desert island with a fair prince at my disposal (I'm gay, princesses don't really do it for me). But easy? Not really. Killing a pod flying through low sec, that's easy. Fitting a sniping ship that's both effective at what it does, while at the same time being cheap and disposable, is in and of itself difficult to pinpoint. Luckily, my mentor Darth Brole gave me a ship he dubbed ALLAHU AKBAR that i use to harass people with like this.

Cynos are an entirely different ballgame. Find one in low sec and D-scan it. Those little ******* have at least 5 ships hovering over them. Usually at least the size of BC. Yeah, pods aren't that difficult. I'm just an ******* with that. Cynos though... I'm a dickhead, not stupid.

Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool, or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant: "If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven." Such is the Rule of Honor.

At this point, i've realized I'm not going to get what i was originally intending to get with this. I'll move it over to C&P later and tweak it, spice it up. I kind of when full ****** and forgot about that forum. I blame being tired and the gnomes that steal my socks. But yeah. I'll make it entertaining when i get around to moving it. At this point, i'm just waiting for the thread to be locked for being in the wrong spot. Or moved for me. Whichever.

o.O if you have trouble killing cyno rookie frigates i don't know what to tell you. many thank you after you pop them

killing a pod in lowsec is difficult unless they're autopiloting, they're rookies, you have an sb bs or they wanted the fast way home

I didn't mean the rookie frigates, those are easy. I meant the cyno themselves. The frigate you can take out in one shot. Once the cyno is actually up and running, it is a ***** to take down.

lol, you don't snipe it. You casually fly over to it and shoot it, and the pilot usually thanks you for saving his 2 minute self destruct timer.

It's more like shooting a dying rabbit outside the castle when everyone is inside asleep.

You're still an idiot Harry.

you don't say thank you, you cry a thousands posts about those cynos on the forum

first you told me cynos are worthless, now some guys told me your haulers are worthless, do you see the pattern? soon your ratting ships will be just worthless when I shoot them down... this will go on and on, until the end of time... until you realize, its you who are worthless.

Going to have to say the goons owe you a thank-you harry for this public service. Sometimes I even use my thanatos to pop the cyno ship just to get moving to the next midpoint quicker. Are your services for hire? You could save me an aggression timer. I'll give you 1mil per cyno ship of mine you kill, and you can even keep any loot. That should keep you in cloaky whatevershipyou'reusingnow for awhile, right?


Awesome story by the way, OP! emergent gameplay wheeee

I haven't found one that hasn't lied to me about being active. "Oh yeah, LOADS of people on." Sit alone for 99% of the time till someone logs in to tweak their skill queue. This one i'm staying in. Because they are as big a bunch of misfits as i am. Just took awhile. And i didn't care about being war dec'ed, my friend left and i didn't want to be in a corp by myself.

Hah! Here, I'll be honest: My corp is just me, and I'm only so active as I can pry the computer away from my wife and kids. P

My main is director of a corp of scores of pilots, of which about 15 are active, and none of us do *anything* together excpet build capitals and fuel our POS. PP

Actually, I almost hope my main's corp gets decced again - Last time, we trapped a fleet in our WH and left 'em hanging for a couple weeks before the last of 'em suicided out. Lack of activity actually worked in our favor - or at least in the favor of some giggles.

Yeah. I have nothing against single person corps. Just not for me. I'm too big of a social butterfly. And i don't mean 50 have to be on at once. Just be nice if at least one other was on for more than 20 seconds. Bit of a buzzkill when you are looking for one that's active, and you get 50 that aren't. My corp history is worse than George Bush's when it comes to the war on terror. Luckily i found one that is just as dysfunctional as i am. Kind of funny how i found them too, to be honest. And worm holes are great. People that really shouldn't be there are great to watch. In one of my old corps - before it died out - we were teaching a kid how to DScan in one. He was supposed to find us, and then he'd win a cookie. Three hours later, still at it. We just left him there. It was a group decision that he was too stupid to be a pirate.

I think it might be a little while before you shoot down any ratting ships in your cloaky catalyst. I should send a cyno-frig out there with guns just for the tears that will spew out when it kills you.

7 kills in Deklein in the past week or so. If the area is target rich, smart to hang around.
