This was originally a post about a module I didn't realise existed, and the effects it had. It is now a post about my awesome PVP adventures in lowsec, which I am loving every minute of, even when I die. There are two episodes so far.

Episode one, my first decent EVE PVP production.

Episode two is up. In this episode, a Corax leads me in a chase, a mighty Legion falls, and a faction warfare corp tries to plex in our pocket, and is promptly shown the door. Also, I learn a valuable lesson on PVP...

Episode three is here, but not that much actually, it's been a quiet week and 'gudfites' have been hard to come by. But there is a confused Drake pilot at the end, who thinks RR is an offensive module... larfs ensue.

Episode Four is up, and in this episode, I try out a PVP arty Astero, join faction warfare, and a nemesis seeks his revenge.

And here is Episode Five. I'm too tired for an interesting blurb right now, I might write one tomorrow.

NOTE: Videos may not be immediately available in 1080p.

In case you are wondering where my overview or chat windows are, I play on 2 monitors (3840x1080) and crop it down to just the left monitor (1920x1080) which is all you need to see.

OP:
I have this in a video which is currently still processing on YouTube. When it's finished, I will link it here.

So I caught a mission Harby today in my Ishkur and settled in for a slow-kill. I admit, when he landed, I was expecting neuts, but he had none and the fight was very one sided.

However, I noticed something strange. I didn't notice it right away, when the message first appeared, but when I did notice it, I shut down my NOS immediately. Fortunately, I no longer needed reps, so the NOS was redundant in any case.

The message read:

"Harbinger has defenses against Small Diminishing Power System Drain I so part of its effect is turned on you."

This is the first time I've seen it on anything. In the same video, I was using a NOS against a Navy Drake and a regular Drake and that message never appears, so it's not a battlecruiser feature in general. Is this something special the Harbinger has, or Amarr ships in general?

And yes this is fairly new, maybe a year and a half old. Don't expect it usually, do ya? >:D

Yep, one Medium Capacitor Battery II in a midslot on the killmail, thanks for that.

Can a dev move this thread to My EVE? I'll edit the OP for there and report it to get your attention.

Thanks ISD.... um, oh, wait, you're not an ISD.

In any case, it wasn't originally a My EVE thread. It is now, so it can be moved. I made it pretty clear that I'm entirely aware of where it now belongs, and I've already asked that it be moved, but thanks for redundantly reminding me, some random with no authority.

while at first the video appears beautiful (close up, no channels etc), after a few minutes of the camera following your ship up close, which is orbiting another ship in circles made me want to puke, so I stopped watching it (episode 4) - also, speed up your vids.... 2x speed please :)

Do you regularly operate without your overview or selected item window on screen? Im assuming you lock targets by clicking on them in space, or is that just for the videos?

Looked up...saw this F***ING clown dropping like a rock.  Woke up in Vylade wondering what just happened!!!

Also, why the target painter on the Astero at the end? You have guns.

I use two monitors. My overview, chats, and other menus open on the right monitor. I fraps the whole thing, then crop it in half to keep sensitive intel out of it.

The fit was experimental. I ended up tossing it because it's not really viable for more intense PVP against skilled players. As far as I'm aware, though, target painter helps with hitting a target, regardless of the weapon being used, because it increases the target's signature radius. As is shown here, signature radius is included in the tracking equation for guns, therefore the target painter is more beneficial than a web at kiting ranges with artillery.

My intended audience is enjoying these videos as they are, but thank you for the criticism.

Started watching episode 5 and stopped watching after the first fight. You start the fight shooting hail at a corax and then an arty thrasher comes in and doesn't move. Instead of approaching him at an angle you retardedly decide to approach with 0 transversal and die. That's not a "you win some you lose some" that's a "you're ******* awful."

That was a "he had me disrupted and was going to kite me and if I had any hope of avoiding that, I had to get closer as fast as I could because I'm fit for brawling". Granted, I was aware that zero transversal was going to be a big risk, but it was one I decided to take. If that's all you've seen though to base your criticism off, then it's irrelevant anyway. But thanks for making me aware of something I'm already aware of, it was enlightening.

And as if I'm going to waste ten seconds switching ammo just for a Corax.

I never claimed to be a wonderful, elite pvp'er. In fact, I'm well and truly aware that I'm still in the process of learning. These videos are that learning process. I do know, however, that I'm not awful.
