Intergalactic Summit

Why yes, just because we are at war makes it compulsory to only ever take part in combat activities.

Ever heard of scouting? That's the kind of job where fighting is *not* the priority.

Ever heard of logistics? Your best interest is to not be shooting at anything.

Besides, a privateer is allowed to operate at his own discretion considering that he is not part of an actual military outfit. He is simply that, someone who is commissioned to do things for the benefit of the employing faction. He is paid for whatever work done for his employer and nothing else.

And finally, appealing on grounds of ignorance simply does not fly in this day and age. Don't know what something is? A quick Galnet search will tell you everything you need to know. Of course, since you can't even imagine that somebody has access to your combat records simply by putting in keywords in a search engine, I doubt you can comprehend the concept.

Finally, you don't know what a Probe is and what it does and whether it is actually *fit* for combat? Either right click the ship name in your d-scan to find out information or use the ISIS system, you ignorant buffoon. Yes, a Probe can be fitted for combat, usually as an electronic-warfare heavy mix-weapons platform. Yes, it's suboptimal. No, you don't find those plundering Data off a Data Site most of the time, you find them in a Novice or a Small Plex.

Now let's see..

I'm trying to imagine this in my head.

You either have a combat scanner on your caracal, which seems like a terrible idea, or you have a scout.
You have a seboed caracal for a probe...

There is a ship called an astero. It can cloak, it can lock faster than a seboed caracal, and it can fit dual scrams.. I know this because I've hunted ventures in Anoikis before.

And an astero can also tank a probe very easily. And it has drones.. Which is better than what any other covop frig has for destroying other frigs.

So.. Um.. I suggest you buy an astero for any frig gank.

Seriously. He probably started aligning as soon as he saw caracal at one AU on dscan.

Ahaha.
I see there's another gallentean idiot imagining falcons everywhere. As they say, fear has huge eyes. Right, gallentean?

And again, if I will need any combat advice, I'll ask someone more experienced and smarter than a dumb goon loudmouth.

That's not an issue of honor, that's an issue of him being completely stupid. Obviously you failed in your assessment and were basically out smarted by common sense.

Then do so. Because you need combat advice. By your own admission, you are lax, sloppy, and ill-prepared. You have no appreciation for the potential complications of a given situation, and no capacity to accept the responsibility for your short-sightedness. You are overconfident to the point of being a danger to yourself and those you fly against, and you compound that danger by charging recklessly in without even attempting to evaluate what you can see on the field, and what you might not see, waiting.



This is the extent of your comprehension of what you were attacking. A ship that almost never carries weapons is assumed to have weapons because you cannot conceive of a specialized frigate actually performing in the role for which it was designed.



No, you colossal fool, he's mocking you.



You're right. You shouldn't continue this discussion. Because your every word only makes it more obvious that you aren't fit to captain an automated garbage scow, let alone be responsible for the lives of a crew in combat. Because 'responsible' is precisely the thing you're not. You are, in fact, such a danger to your own crew that if I had to wager, I'd put a few billion ISK down on the idea that avoiding responsibility for pretty much everything in your life is absolutely the only thing you put any effort into, whatsoever.

Yes, time could be lost acquiring the right tools for the job. However, if you don't have the right tool, why are you attempting to perform that job? If you went out solo hunting in a Caracal, you should have fitted the cruiser properly to go solo hunting. If you didn't have a cruiser fitted out for solo hunting, why were you hunting solo?

The issue has nothing to do with honor. The issue has to do with being foolish. An unarmed capsuleer piloting a frigate who is suddenly attacked by an enemy cruiser does not have an obligation to remain and die. Just the opposite: he has an obligation his crew to not spend their lives needlessly, and an obligation to his superiors to survive and report back on your activities. If anything, sitting there and letting you kill him would be dishonoring those commitments.

So, if you want to go and find someone with more combat experience than I have, please feel free. They will tell you precisely the same things. And, if you are very, very lucky, they will manage to beat some sense into that solid block of moldy cheese you call a brain.

That is to be decided by someone more competent than you.


I never said it.
An incompetent idiot goon said it about me.


Which is an obvious lie, that only an absolute idiot could believe in.

Said Arrendis, oh the irony...

Goon, could you please STOP applying your qualities on other peoples? Okay, thanks, bye.

Actually, yes, neither I nor him killed each other.
However. I did PUSH him away from whatever he was doing in our system, causing him to flee. Thus:

Stupid tribals: 0
Caldari officers: 1

I'll give ya it......

Stupid Tribals: 2
Dumb Goons(?): 0
Caldari Officers: 2
