Crime & Punishment

Dude that was not a pirate story, it was a carebear story... and not even a good one! Here is a pirate story... even one where the carebear gets away. I want to point out the emphasis on the word STORY.

And I am glad to say that I didn't take the time to read that story while my computer was lagged out to (Not Responding).
I don't know if I will have the time to read it later.

Let me add for now that I am not logged in to the EVE Online game client for now, so any attempts at making me (Not Responding) won't change my risk of getting directly blowed up.

(Even blowed up real good.)

+
I have to put the Log as suggested by CCP Spitfire, C C P, C C P Alliance, EVE Dev.
... can post chatlogs (with the names of victims/counterparts blanked out) as part of a pirate story or experience.

Granted , this was not the chatlog, but taken from the gamelog, with the only way to find how to put a Bounty on the attacker.

(I was recording a video which would have allowed me to see who it was, but that recording was also hacked.)

Edit:
I got the screenshots but probably no time to post them here now.

Kill right earned

As a victim of Counterpart‘s unlawful aggression you now have a kill right against them. Once activated, the kill right allows you to seek revenge, alone or with friends, without CONCORD intervention.

about a week and a half old now but ill shoot. ( No this is not just a simple low sec miner gank, read on )

So i log in and its a pretty average morning in my little .3, some nice ratting to loosen the muscles, a faction drop, 2 besieged sites down and i dock to make breakfast.

When i come back about Forty Five Minutes later there's a neutral i don't recognize in local, he has no color flag to mark him as a cyno, friendly, or an easy kill so i undock in my phobos to run a quick D-Scan of the immediate area around the station as the system is too large to run a full system scan without probes and its still too early for that

Low-and-behold there's a procurer on scan at the ice field so i dock to make sure i didn't spook him and i refit for dual plates over active reps just in case hes a cyno trap i haven't run into yet. I undock and hes still on scan, i warp in and land 36kms off of him, i hit the MWD but before i'm in range or even able to lock him hes gone back to station, my station as it were.
So i dock on his tail thinking i missed a miner kill no big deal, i go and make another coffee and come back to see hes undocked and still in local, there's another neutral though, also undocked. I undock again to see an ibis and a procurer on the undock, ibis is a cyno and i missed whatever had come in apparently but the procurer was just sitting there, i start bumping him and kill the cyno as i do, at this point im fitted active again and had just jump cloned back to my slave pod so the guns are tickling me at best.

But Just as they cyno dies the procurer suddenly jumps into action, like a white knight avenging a fallen friend he launched his Tech 1 warriors and went to work drilling my armor.... for like 14 damage a volley thanks to my hefty explosive / kinetic tank. Perhaps he didnt know what aggression mechanics were, or maybe he thought the combined fury of his drones and the incoming station guns were enough to kill me so he could go back to mining his ice. Fate had just the opposite in mind, i slowly chewed through his shield tank with my antimatter, volley after volley holding him there with my infinite point and a web. Suddenly his shields are failing him and im showing no sign of giving up, he reaches out to me

Me > If this is a let me live convo its 20m for the ship and you live to mine another day
Him > Really?
Me > Do i look like im kidding? Would I go through all this to play some little joke on you?
Him > Dude Im just an Ice Miner, let it go its not worth it
Me > let me put it this way, 20m or your an ex-iceminer
him > Okay ill pay

He makes a show of taking a while to get his wallet ready, meanwhile he pulls his drones and i have him in 30% structure. I notice his de-agression and bump him off the undock by about 2kms, not enough but the clock is ticking.

Me > Wheres that 20m? Im not a patient man
Him > Im getting it give me a second

He tries to hit his afterburner ( yep prop mod procurer ) and get back to station but i have him webbed, seeing this i take no more chances and kill the barge with a few more volleys. He tries to dock his pod but he has a few seconds left on the timer, i see this and pod him home to highsec and scoop the corpse, loot the wreck, and then dispose of it. I dock reload ammo and boosters and start ratting again.

Few hours go by and suddenly theres a familiar face in local, could it be the procurer i just killed?
It was

I reach out to him this time

Me > if you have assets in the station i can buy them if they are intereting or usefull, if not 50m and you can move them out
Him > oh thats not why im here
me > well thats a shame
Him > For you

he says nothing more, so i undock and see nothing at first, but before i can hit D-Scan a hurricane lands on the station about 70 off from where i am when i undock. He starts burning in, and yellow boxes me, im still blinking suspect from looting a wreck someone left in the belt with a clone soldier transporter tag in it, but my timer will end soon so i burn in and yellow box him too, he opens fire and rips through my untanked shields with his artillery, i get up close and land a scram in addition to my focused point and web, and start chewing through his tanked shields.

He launches drones and starts to hit me with those, im still alone and this is honorable solo PVP for the moment, but thinking fast i log on my alt eyes just to have an early alert system in case he had friends. He doesn't.
Slowly we drill at each others tank, both active tanked, my blasters clearly out performing his arty at 4k
he hits armor and starts to melt, but im greeted with an unfriendly noise, my cap had fallen below 20% and i had been overcycling my tank, Rookie error and it was going to cost me, i turned off the rep and ran my last booster and hoped it would last. he hit structure, i hit 20% armor he reached out to me again

Him > What is this nonsense i cant warp
Me > yeah i have you tackled
Him > im stabbed i should be fine

Im speechless at this point, he hits low structure and my hull breach alarm goes off
A corp member of mine logs in, hes a good pilot and has a HAC in station
I tell him i may need some help if this goes any worse for me thanks to my rookie mistake
He laughs at it and hops on comms
Just as he does the cane explodes and the pod warps, im in 70% structure and my heart is pounding, most fun i had solo all week

i loot the wreck, my corpie scoops his drones, and as i drop the loot im greeted by 2 things
1. I had Non-Navy Cap boosters in hold, so they didnt auto load, i feel like an idiot
2. a hilarious killmail the cane was fitted with these:

( Links a bit blurry as i didnt want to share the pilots name )
He also had every type of ammo imaginable in cargo, and tons of interesting mods
A fail fit ratting cane perhaps?
All I know is the miner uprising was over and he was gone from my .3
for good

10/10 would read again. You may have made mistakes, the mistakes he made were worse. Isn't that what most combat in Eve is?

Welcome to the glorious world of the real eve
Your awakening gives us all something to be happy about as another joins our midst

And for future awoxing reference its best to do it with 2 people so you can have one with secondary point on the target, negates those nasty damp issues or forces him to split them, ever need help in that department shoot me a mail

....and the story goes on....

Ravenguy > i dont normally either but had no back-up
Ravenguy > it is
Ravenguy > "the system" is pretty good most of the time
Noir Ruda > yeah
Noir Ruda > most of the time
Ravenguy > lol yeah i lost a few ships dropping poses or defending them
Ravenguy > thats why i got the thanatos
Noir Ruda > ah ok
Noir Ruda > in this early morning "the system" is pretty silent
Ravenguy > we normally have 2 posses in "the system" but our corp ceo is on deployment in us mil so they are packed up
Noir Ruda > perfect time to run lvl V
Noir Ruda > with carrier :)
Ravenguy > lol you want me to get out the carrier dont you?
Noir Ruda > if you want to you could join us
Ravenguy > pilot is 25 jumps qwqy but have jc in "the system" adn "other system"
Noir Ruda > its going faster that way
Ravenguy > *away
Ravenguy > I dont know smells like a trap to me

Ok was it to early? I need to do something that he jumps in again. Give him some tips? Warn him of a made up threat? He already locked in his carrier alt in the system so he is thinking about it. Ok lets aproach again a bit more slowly....

Noir Ruda > well if you don't want too its up to u to decide
Ravenguy > maybe nextime
Noir Ruda > we could also blue each other
Noir Ruda > if you really living in "the system"
Ravenguy > true
Noir Ruda > I really do not want people attacking each other in this system
Ravenguy > me either
Noir Ruda > but with you we could easly do them that would be 3 carrier then and with cap and rep chain they would be easy as ****
Ravenguy > I cant remote rep or cap transfer, only self rep
Ravenguy > need to train more skills
Noir Ruda > yeah you probably need but can u use sentrys?
Ravenguy > yes but onlu tech 1 and fighters
Noir Ruda > sentrys are the best thing to do that
Noir Ruda > fighters need a lot of time to travel
Ravenguy > i have sentry 5 in queue already but 16 days away
Noir Ruda > well as said offer is up if you want to do that local is complete blue atm
Noir Ruda > and neibhour system is pretty empty too right now
Ravenguy > except me
Noir Ruda > well thats something we can handle pretty easy

Here comes the made up threat..

Noir Ruda > "random guy I don't know" becareful of him they tend to drop

the alliance this guy in really does drop sometimes

Noir Ruda > we are not blue to them
Ravenguy > we arent either and have had dramas before

the next part is made up from scratch
and in the meantime we got ready to kill a carrier and set up some modules like neut batterys and scrambler at a tower.

Noir Ruda > yeah we tend to try counter drop them
Noir Ruda > dock you carrier dude
Ravenguy > it is
Noir Ruda > ah ok
Noir Ruda > its "some other guy I do know" then
Noir Ruda > he is running lvl V too
Ravenguy > he used to be "some corp" which we used to have an alliance with
Noir Ruda > "the guy I know"
Ravenguy > but only found out today it is no longer
Ravenguy > dont know "the guy I know"
Noir Ruda > you mean the random guy I do now know"
Noir Ruda > ?
Noir Ruda > as said we have some beef with "alliance of the random guy"
Ravenguy > yes he was "some corp", part of "an alliance"
Ravenguy > "random guys alt" ex "an alliance"
Noir Ruda > seems they out for blood right now
Ravenguy > not sure why, dont know what happened to "an allaince" but they are mostly eu tz
Ravenguy > they have dreads
Noir Ruda > we know
Ravenguy > oh did they get you with them?
Noir Ruda > nah
Ravenguy > good
Noir Ruda > we are very carefully with that
Ravenguy > us too
Noir Ruda > always aligned
Noir Ruda > they doin lvl V right now
Noir Ruda > they running lvl V too right now
Ravenguy > what in?
Noir Ruda > carrier
Ravenguy > nice
Noir Ruda > they jumped out
Noir Ruda > huray
Ravenguy > cool lol

At this point while typing the next sentence I had a bit of inner moral fight with my self he wasn't really a douche, but then my corpmate gave me a virtual slap in the face and I came to my senses. Though I felt a bit bad about him at least a tiny bit.


Noir Ruda > so u wanna join?
Ravenguy > I'll give it a try with "his carrier alt"

Ok he is in lets do this following the fleet chat:

my wingman > o/
my wingman > sry about earlier
his carrier alt > all good, i did attack first
Noir Ruda > hopefully u are fitted correctly
Noir Ruda > you have sentrys with you a
Noir Ruda > and a proper tank?
Noir Ruda > and don't do triage that will probably be hardcore
Noir Ruda > and you can't run if someone shows up
his carrier alt - C -
his carrier alt > no triage
his carrier alt > but self rep
my wingman > we have rr on our carriers
his carrier alt > cool
my wingman invite Mercairi Maiestas for the warpin on the mission
my wingman > ok hes in the mission
my wingman > you can warp to him
his carrier alt > going now
my wingman > be sure to focus the energy neut batteries first
his carrier alt > ok
my wingman > then small drones on the frigs
his carrier alt > ok
my wingman > we need to kill the scramblers quick
his carrier alt > ok
his carrier alt > really???
Noir Ruda > sry dude don't trust anyone
Noir Ruda > :)
Noir Ruda > we do that for a living
my wingman > sry m8
his carrier alt > lesson learned
Noir Ruda > but thx for the loot never trust pirates :)
his carrier alt > at least now i know where your pos is and your eu tz

The carrier died and we got around 500 mil in est. loot. Carrier

Ok I can't live with my shame because this was a D-move.....Ok I probably can and kudos to the our victim who took this without bringing tears.

Yarr

It depends on the battleship and it's guns. I'll use a quick example as this question is better suited to the warfare and tactics forum. Let's say you find a tempest, and when you zoom in on him, you recognize the barrels of his guns as artillery. Artillery is a long range weapon and doesn't do so well up close, it also shoots slowly. If you fly straight towards him or are not moving he'll hit you for sure, and hard. If you fly towards him at an angle though, your transversal will be higher, and if you get that high enough, his guns will miss. The closer you get to him the worse this gets for him. Once you get right up in his face, keep flying around him as fast as you can, which usually means staying between 2000 and 5000 meters, up to 10km in some cases. If you manage that, he will never hit you for full damage and you may be able to 'speed tank' him forever, which gives you plenty of time to slowly chip away at him. If he is active fit and can run his tank indefinitely, you may reach a stalemate and the first guy to bring reinforcements will win. That's just the short answer though, there is a lot more at play. (Webs, drones, neuts, tracking disruptors, etc)

You are a bot or a cheater? I will ask the admins as a pathetic frigate defeated Gnosis

The highest compliment you can receive in a game is being reported for cheating when you did not. Well done sir.

I shall spend billions on modules, but I think I'll stick with T1 rigs, cause damn those T2 rigs are expensive. (or some other excuse)
Your first version of the story is better.
