My first video \o/

http://eve-files.com/dl/247745

Nom nomming on some militia mission runners in the "safety" of their high security space.

Probing down and killing war target carebears is easy. When said war targets are in FW though, things get a bit more complicated.

For those not familiar with Faction Warfare mechanics, entering hisec space belonging to an enemy faction results in you being attacked by Navy NPCs. The lethality of said NPCs varies depending on the sec status of the system - 0.5 NPCs do little more than web you, whereas 0.8 or better you'll be hit with massive DPS and obscenely heavy, unrelenting neuting that can render the most potent traditionally-fit PVP ships into space dust in seconds.

I don't want to completely spoil my methods, but suffice it to say it takes a lot of testing and theorycrafting to get a good mission ganker fit and also a great deal of legwork, patience and some luck to find FW missioners to kill. Learning mission hubs, scouting and exploring around, waiting hours or even days for an opportunity to strike a juicy target and evading counterganks are all elements of the experience.

These aren't my best kills, but I've only recently started FRAPSing them, so I took what I could get to throw a quick video together.

Special thanks to Loren Gallen of the Gallente militia; he's the true master of the art and his accomplishments are what inspired me to get into this in the first place. =)

My name is Omnicide Incarnate and I approve of this video and/or service.

The music isn't my kind of music, but to each his own :)

The PvP was great, looks like tons of fun! I really need to try this out myself, thanks for the inspiration.

Domis are a blight upon new eden, they should all be demolished and replaced by hy[erions... giant space squids much cooler than giant space bricks

Just have to say, superb choice of soundtrack.

And the moral of the story... appreciate what you've got, 'cause basically I'm fantastic.

Unfortunately the movie can't be watched in my country because of music restrictions. Damn youtube. Ugh Was really looking forward to it. Maybe it'll be available on EVEfiles?

BTW if you want some lols, here's the "legendary" Lord Fuxaton video a guy made after I killed his navy domi in hisec (unfortunately I didn't fraps that one). I guess you could say he inspired me to start documenting my kills =)

This applies to me as well but there is an easy workaround. Go to http://www.filsh.net/, copy and paste the youtube link and wait until this service downloads the mp4 from youtube and allows you to download it from their side instead of youtube. GEMA GTFO! Big smile

Bah... I love to kill (or, more accurately, attempt to kill) you amarr FW type personages but this video brought a smile to my heart if only because it looked like it was fun.

I'd say keep it up but I'd feel dirty so instead I shall say nice video!

Haha, nice video man. Quite an interesting tactic you have there, I'm sure it's achieved many a laff and a rage log over time :)

And great music too!
