My EVE

This podcast is great for me. Im trying to get into PVP and getting to the next level of EVE. Keep the podcast going and the content on Youtube. Theres been alot of podcasts going down or slowing to pretty much a halt. Then theres also very few that deal directly with actually flying in space and how to fly etc. I made a donation and everyone else should too cause these guys deserve it and its not easy coming up with content especially something that people like on a regular basis.

Thanks a lot for elaborating on some of the topics i asked about, especially the AC hurricane with scram issue! I think i'm going to try it out on the account of using out of the ordinary setups!

Although you absolutely butchered my name on air , I loved this episode too guys!

Keep it up!
Gonna donate!

Yeah about the hurricane fastest BC thing: you are all right. It certainly isnt the fastest battlecruiser, but when I said it I guess I wasn't even thinking of tier3 bcs as bcs. They are just so different that I think my brain puts them in a different category altogether.

Awesome to hear some of you are out fighting! Keep it up =)

Tier 3 BCs should be regarded as a class of their own.

Love the series guys.

Once again, excellent work on the podcast!

I've been long wanting to do more soloing, but my original idea was that I should start with frigates and work my way up from there. Your best advice so far has been, at least to me, that it is lot easier to start with cruisers or battlecruisers, frigate fights for me are indeed over in few seconds.

So far I've done couple solo roams to Perrigen Falls, which seems kinda ideal for that, its pretty quiet, I haven't gotten blobbed yet and so far always there has been 1-2 guys interested in fighting.

You mentioned in one of your podcasts you'd love to hear some war stories, so here couple of mine that occurred basically because your podcast gave me inspiration to go out there and pick some fights.

NOTE: You need to copy/paste the raiden kb links to address bar, at least for me it doesnt seem to be working if I just click them. Annoying problem in the new EVEo

My first one was really encouraging (if you dont count the couple Ruptures I suicided to Vigilant) , I took nanocane out and tackled another cane on a gate. I was expecting it to be hairy fight down to structure with similiar fits, but to my suprise the guy never fired back. First I thought he was afk auto-piloting in 0.0, but this kinda tells the story http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12486586 . Ill take a free kill, especially because next I ran into Myrmidon got him down to structure, he was dual (or triple) armor repped, so in prolonged brawl my nanocane melted, should have tried to pull range I guess. http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12480456

Couple next nights were pretty successful by my standards (which arent that high mind you). This time I took out AC armor buffer Cane and was chasing Tengu few gates and run headalong to a Rokh, I think the Tengu was a cloaky link alt to this Rokh. As I uncloaked I missed the tackle on the Tengu, but uncloaked right next to the Rokh, tackled him, orbitted under his guns and withered him down with permarunning my neuts. http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12481255

Next night I engaged Maelstrom that was sitting on gate, but I messed up my approach, took too long to get under his guns because I disabled MWD too early, when I finally stabilized my orbit close I was like 20% armor and from there his drones and occasional AC hits took me down, but not before I broke his shield tank and got him also to 50% armor or so. http://kb.raidenalliance.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=58218 After that I quickly reshipped to another armor buffer cane and went out to find him again, didnt mess up my approach second time and this time killed the mael http://kb.raidenalliance.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=58221 .

Because you were talking a lot of active tanking in your previous episode, I decided to give it a go aswell. It started very nice when I undocked my Cyclone, there was fight ongoing zero to the station, on which I managed to finish Harbinger that had killed a friendly Tornado http://kb.raidenalliance.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=59885 I continued on, engaged a HML Drake and could maybe have tanked him if I had not messed up with my tank, accidentally turning the booster off without noticing. The guys shield tank was starting to break when he finished me off http://kb.raidenalliance.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=59904

After losing the Cyclone, I decided to give try to a dual rep armor cane, I engaged another Hurricane on gate, only to get his buddy in (or most likely alt) to jump in Cruise Raven, I tried to de-aggro and jump the gate, but my tank melted pretty fast. http://kb.raidenalliance.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=59917 Annoyed that my dual rep cane didnt really get chance to fight the cane on its own terms, I reshipped to Vagabond, kited the Cane while his Raven alt was pounding away from a distance, both were also sporting enough to send full flights of ECM drones my way. After couple warpings in system, jumping a gate I managed to separate them long enough to get cane on armor before his alt managed to catch up. I dodge and kite the cane long enough to get him 50% structure when he finally gets on the webbing range due to me running out of cap, he slaps his dual web+scram on me, I overheat my guns, he explodes and I escape on low structure. http://kb.raidenalliance.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=59917

Has been great fun and I think I'be been pretty lucky in getting decent fights. Thanks Kil2 and Kovorix for the encouraging podcast, wouldn't have done it otherwise I suspect.

EDIT: Sorry for the wall of text :/
EDIT2: Apparently you need to copy/paste links to to address bar, otherwise the kills wont open.

I always found it funny that while gangs flee in terror from people like Garmon and Wildcat, almost nobody would give up a chance to engage you or Kil2 :D

I really like this podcast but it would be awesome if you could throw in some background music or something just to beef it up a little.

That's awesome Greg! useful and appreciated. thx.

Garmon! remember your 2weeks deadline! Waiting for the new vid :-)

This is something I've actually always wondered about. I have a feeling that on the whole it doesn't end up having a huge effect. Sometimes I do go into a system and the pirate on the gate wants to dock up and chat with me instead of fight. But on the other hand, sometimes people engage because they know that what they see is what they get, and I think on some level its almost like being part of a good cause. If they win, good for them, if I win, maybe it gets into a video which is good for everyone! But yeah overall I'm still not really sure.



I agree with you, the issue is really just time/effort. Each episode already takes about 4 hours altogether to make and its just hard to think about adding more time to that when I could be getting more footage for youtube, trying to keep my marriage intact, or sleeping. I'll keep it in mind though and maybe somewhere along the way I'll do it.

Thanks Greg! I'll try to move that info to the OP here shortly.

Thanks also to all of you sending fight reports! Lakeend you're an animal keep it up!
