The newest edition to the Find Your Prey series: Find Your Prey II (mkv - 484 MB) (Youtube)
Length: 20:50 (mm:ss)

Plot: Battleship roaming around the Aridia and Genesis regions fighting against the various pirate organizations in the area. Primarily solo with some small gang, no more than 4, action. By no means would I class any of this as and epic or amazing video. It's simply a collection of fun pvp fights that I and a few corpmates have had.

Ships Flown: Dominix aka "Hot Potato", Hyperion aka "Police, Freeze!", & Armageddon aka "Golden Rod". Sadly both "Hot Potato" and "Golden Rod" were lost during the making of this video. T3 links used during some fights

Soundtrack:
1. Voltbeat - A Warrior's Call
2. Adelitas Way - The Collapse
3. 10 Years - Shoot It Out
4. Hollywood Undead - Been To Hell
5. Pop Evil - Last Man Standing
6. Art of Dying - Get Thru This

Thanks To: Wolfsbrigade for being an amazing corporation to be a part of and keeping EvE fun. Everyone we engaged in Genesis and Aridia for the good fights. And lastly, past and present video makers such as Kil2, Gods Coldblood, Kessah, and Xaeon for making videos that got, and keep, me hooked on PvP.

Previous Vids: (Not previously released on EvE-O forums)
Find Your Prey (mkv) - Solo and duo roaming around Black Rise as part of the Caldari Militia with a few corp war target kills mixed in.
Nuts (mkv) - Solo & duo action while raiding wormhole space.

Not bad. Glad people are having fun in BSs still!

Not sure about the low graphics settings, especially the intro. Also the Domi vs Geddon 1v1, he had hammerheads, didn't seem to know it was a bad matchup, etc.

Scramless Megas made me sad, also wasn't expecting you could tank them until such hints of fail fits.

Also if you're going to bring an Archon to a gate, wouldn't you either bring it in at a range to RR, or just assign fighters from elsewhere?

Psst, you didn't cover Corskan DeLorenz's name in every place Blink

That was really good. The vid held my interest the whole way through and had some genuinely interesting fights to watch.

A couple of things I think to improve on would be becoming a bit more selective in what footage you include. A couple of fights in there, particularly the domi v geddon and the fight against the 2 mega's and the oneiros I think probably should've been left out. They didn't really meet the expectations your other fights set and felt more like filler.

Also your lack of bait tanking was a bit frustrating at times, especially when you could easily tank your foes but they either warped off or deaggroed because it became obvious they couldn't break your tank. Bait-tanking in those situations increases viewers enjoyment because it keeps more enemies on the field and gets you more kills, and it also adds another element to the video. The viewer finds it interesting seeing how well you can push your tank and feign cap problems.

I hope I don't sound harsh because I don't mean to be. Other than those two points I really enjoyed the video and will eargerly look forward to your next one.

Also LOL at those guys dropping their archon on you out of rep range of their own ships. Pro pvp right there.

Juding by this I wouldn't say the Megas were fail fit. Perhaps a bit lacking in some skills such as T2 drones, etc. They probably assumed that with 2 heavy nuets, 2 webs, and the 'Cane that they could melt me and didn't need to bother with killing my mwd.

@ the Archon, we were quite shocked when it landed at range and deployed fighters. If it had landed in rep range the 'phoons would have lived and we'd have probably lost one or both of our ships. As it was I didn't do myself any favors by running my MWD without moving during the fight.

I know I didn't cover Corskan in all the clips, but he wasn't the only thing I was covering. He flew with me during the first video and makes an appearance there as well.

Thanks for the criticism Laktos. It's always good to get someoneelse's point of view on things. I'll try to make some adjustments for future vids. And yeah, while watching the FRAPs I kicked myself repeatedly when I was overrepping. Most of my previous solo action is buffer setups. This is the first time I've focused mainly on active tanking. Quite a change for sure.

This is not the corporation you are looking for

You might as well add the link ships to the list of ships present by the way

Pretty good video.

While I usually am not one to criticize t3 usage at all, I do think it's not so nice to hide or not mention it, because it can give newer players the wrong idea about what a ship is capable of without them. P I understand you don't want people to know your alt's name, but maybe just say in the OP? (also, slaves of some kind?)

Updated OP with 'T3 Links'. For a couple of the Armageddon fights I do have a partial slave set.

Nice watch indeed. Don't think I can add useful criticism that has not been said. Really liked your info and fitting screens.

That is, I would have liked to see the drone window, even if you can deduce most of what is happening there from the brackets in space. But domi fights in particular look incomplete without the drone window.

Also. all January there are hardly any videos, and February not much better, and then you release a video today. What are the odds Shocked
