My EVE

Hello everyone!

Youtube Link.
Evefile (~550mb MKV)

Ships flown: Moa and Thorax, with a small guest appearance of the Ferox and shield Rupture.

This is the fourth and last video of the Hunt saga.

A strong emphasis on lowsec solo, in the form of trying to separate pirate gangs, and get pilots to take GCC against you as much as possible. Cheap fitting suggestions, all the passive mods are always visible.

I did not intend to release another video until October, but now made the decision to release what I gathered so far, as I am completely leaving Eve for now. So releasing what I got is much better than nothing :-) As I didn't have enough worthy fights to put, I mix added some other stuff in between fights, to make the movie more about the fighting spirit and love of the game, rather than just cool fights.

I do love this game very much, but I am choosing to let it go for the foreseeable future, my sub ends October and I don't intend to renew for at least another year. Then we shall see how things go :-)

Two reasons for that. First and most importantly is a real-life circumstance that denies me of time to roam.
Second is an ingame mechanic- ECM drones, that makes the very little time I have to roam, into an almost futile extreme-uphill constant climb, at least to the way I like to play.

My true love of Eve is solo PvP. I like small gangs but as long as I play my main activity will be solo.
Out of every ~10 roams, in the way the game is right now, I get about 1 fight I can somehow manage solo. I am well aware that a pilot can get solo fights very quickly in highsec systems, pre-arranging and agreeing on fights, but for me that completely kills the most important element that makes me adore this game- the hunt :-) So, 10 roams take very long to actually happen with the little time my real-life leaves for Eve, say about a week or two. And simply put, my experience is that ECM drones tend to take away that small 1/10 or 2/10 fights and kind of ruin that as well. So in other words, I did the math and figured out that the time I have to spend to get nice fights, spread throughout my RL, atm is just utterly unreasonable for me. That is my personal choice. If I had more time, as I used to have while making the Rupture videos, I honestly wouldn't mind continuing to fight against the odds.

So I'd like to thank everyone that supported me thus far! For every little comment and helpful pointer. For some ISK donations, and for a lot of very positive feedback! Special thanks to Kil2, Eternum Praetorian, Zaraxal Nightblade, Haeri, Dunolathi, Garmon Integra, GDNebu, Male Duckface, Syss7, Penelope Star, Kerie Thomas, Sir Livingston, everyone in the former Seventh Day, all pilots of Club Bear, and every single 'My Eve' video maker! o7

Fly free!

Sad to see you go mate. But RL always has nr 1 priority.

Great video and it's nice to see that you have put our feedback into good use. Hopefully i will within the next month begin making my own videos, and hopefully they will be able to fill the gap you leaves.

Good luck out there. Live free :)

So, you got beaten by me, who obviously is more awesome than you and a PL guy, who has spies everywhere!

Great video! Really enjoyed watching it.

During the video I kept thinking, if only every new player would see this as he starts up the game for the very first time, the game probably would be a lot better for it.

only a few ships allow to fit smartbombs without making the fitting terrible, so its not really a solution

Awesome vid as always. I havent known you for long but I know I'm gonna miss those great big beautiful ***** of yours.

Very NICE

You used a couple songs I wanted to use...
Well, ill prolly never get off my arse to make a video anyway.

Was a good fun watch, and I hope you do find a reason (and chance) to come back Aldap

I suppose it comes as no surprise that I thought you video was great. This, usually, is where I go into detail about fights. However, I'm going to forego that part for something more important:

Can I have your-

Wait, no. Wrong person.

It's a real shame to lose such an exemplary solo PvPer such as yourself. You've provided a good fight when we have met without fail, and (more importantly) you've always been a good guy. If you leave, I hope the Eve addiction we all experience drags you back soon (even if you don't ).

Once again another brilliant video! Props for not being scared to show your failures along with your stunningly successful fights! Legendary!
