Raxip had a wicked glint in his eye, as he stood over me I could feel a sense of fear building up inside me, but I could not stop it growing. I was locked in deep sleep but at the same time this was so vivid, was I dreaming or was this real? His fingers shone in web-like flickers, like flames; and during his speech I could hear the glorious sound of a fire - burning - like the noise of a rug flapping in a wind. The words were unrecognisable, all that I could hear was mottled with other sounds. The sound of gunfire echoed in the room and then, laughing, uncontrollably loud, wild laughing.
Raxip smiled and the flames around him rose and as they burned yellow the image of a thousand dead souls screamed at him. The flames changed colour, blue-green upon the charred bones of the murderers and hypocrites who faded into the heat, Raxip stood there, laughing. Like some sort of God-like figure he granted them one final, brief moment of sight so they might see their own skeletons crumbling and glowing like lanterns in the dead of night. The screaming voices stopped, no longer did they cry out for forgiveness. As the flames finally consumed them to dust Raxip lowered his head solemnly.
Then out of the smoke, suddenly, whistling around the room like phantoms the ghostly figures appeared and then settled. Seven black, sinister faces looked down on Raxip from above. I could taste the smoke, heavy at the back of my throat, I gasped for air but nothing.
"What!" cried Raxip in a fury. "Can my years of service not give me my own foundation for judging my actions? And if I have sinned, then are you not two-facedly working for my downfall?!"
The ghostly faces looked on. There was silence in the room, an uneasy silence.
Raxip could say nothing else. He stood still, his eyes shifted in his head, and he clutched at his jaw nervously. The faces watched him. One of them moved forward towards him. Raxip watched him intently and then he took a step backwards. The figure struck the floor hard with his fist right in front of Raxip. A loud shrill engulfed the room as the floor opened and from within the dead escaped again. It seemed they were stuck between the stage of death and resurrection. Each and every soul was in fear of Hell and they did not know their next path. The seven black faces faded away and the grave closed suddenly, returning the souls to the darkness.
Raxip turned and walked out of the room.

Thrashers Thrashing & Other Nice Things
I shall be spending the next month on deployment over in Lonetrek region. It should hopefully bring about some new avenues to explore and some good fights. I've moved over a small selection of tackle ships, after all if the stay is only for a month I don't think I'll be needing too much gear over here. (Hopefully).
Whilst waiting for the main core of the alliance to move up, the big hitters if you like, I decided to train up the Destroyer skill and get myself into a Thrasher. I'm so glad I did - this ship is so much fun and has netted me some nice kills. I went on a little roam and ended up in the Amamake area where I managed to brawl away with a Thorax that melted with little resistance,a Coercer that died in a hail of projectile fire, an Incursus that popped nicely and an Executioner that crumpled under the weight of 200mm autocannons ripping at its face. But the real proper fights were these two Hawks that possibly underestimated the power of the Thrasher. This one and then this one. Good fights, good brawls and quite nice loot for what was essentially a dicking around session. I also took along with me some camera drones to record my fights for a future video I have planned, but more on that at a later date.
Also, on my first day of moving ships over to Lonetrek the call came over intel that a carrier and a tech 3 cruiser were tackled in a nearby system. I joined in the assault and was pleased to confirm my first carrier kill and was happy that I managed to kill a tech 3 cruiser within hours of moving to the new area of operation.
Looking forward to some fun fights in the coming month and hopefully some great stories to tell.

Space Trolls (part I)
This is a short script on trolling the trolls, anti-trolling and general all round confusion and baiting.
General storyline:
You are about to read an excerpt taken from The Tuskers Public Channel - a meeting place for all different kinds of spacefarer, from the elite pvp gods to the inbetweeners, the wannabes and the (usually) awestruck newbs looking for a helping hand.
The strings are being pulled over in Rifter Drifter channel. Wensley's new alt Baltasar is looking for a helping hand onto the pvp ladder and piracy is something that interests him greatly. One of EVE's self-proclaimed greatest trollers Proxyyyy is going to be the target subject. Previously, in Rifter Drifter channel, Toadzilla turns a trolling attempt by Baltasar into an anti-troll as he goes along with the gag to recover what looked like a steamroll move by Baltasar/Wensley. However, over in Tuskers Public things are about to get interesting . . . . .
The cast.
Wensley as himself. [String puller]
Raxip Elamp as himself. [Troll, Defensive]
Miura Bull as himself. [Troll, Offensive]
Baltasar Kyros played by Wensley. [Newb-Troll]
Proxyyyy as himself. [Famous forum-troll]
Toadzilla as himself. [Confused blame-taker]
All other members of the channel - as themselves.
And so we begin . . . .
< entering The Tuskers Public Channel >
Baltasar Kyros > hello tuskers. toadzilla told me you guys are good people to ask about learning to be a pirate.

Xuthi > if you aint already
Grohalmatar > punishers are fine, rifters are just easier, but the trick is buy a bunch, fly cheap, and learn the mechanics of piracy, learn what you can engage, how to scan etc. you just have to get out and do it

Miura Bull > hang in there buddy
Wensley > eh speaks the truth. toady has been helping him
ItsmeHcK1 > I do not believe.
Nomad Storm > probably been talking to himself
Wensley > rifter drifter has scrolled up too far but miura and raxip can vouch
Miura Bull > :)
Wensley > there's no need to be mean to the little nublet
ItsmeHcK1 > :P
Baltasar Kyros > thanks wensley. don't call me a nublet though!
ItsmeHcK1 > BUT HE UNLEASHED THE TROLLS!
Miura Bull > LMOL
Nomad Storm > i might have to fit a punisher now
Raxip Elamp > C Toady was giving him lots of help
Baltasar Kyros > so how should i fit it? and how do i stop people runniong way
Sassy B > LAZOR PUNISHER BEST PUNISHER wat u lookin at
Baltasar Kyros > toady said a scram would be enough but the rifter guide says otherwise :(
Proxyyyy > thnk u sasa
Proxyyyy > gank punisher ftw
Proxyyyy > let the real newbs figure out the rest
Miura Bull > cold gas and heat a good mix?
Raxip Elamp > Hey Sassy just want to say before I log soonish that I'm a huge fan of you and Lady S.
Proxyyyy > btw Sassy B 3 bs's taking down a offline pos in Egmar Solar System
Proxyyyy > Or something
Proxyyyy > guns dont seem to be firing
Baltasar Kyros > toady said i should use scorch s
Baltasar Kyros > but it says "has fairly low damage potential, low tracking and is of limited use against heavily armored targets"
Baltasar Kyros > that can't be good, surely
Baltasar Kyros > can i only shoot shield ships? :(
Sassy B > yes it is purpal laser and the second best laser. imperial navy multifrequency is WHITE LASER and the best laser.
Sassy B > lasers are best at shields but can shoot all ships
Raxip Elamp > lol
Proxyyyy > Can out damage the rifter at range and close range it can out tank
Proxyyyy > either shield or armor fits tbh
Sassy B > no at close range it can be outtracked and die going :((((
Sassy B > i have been on both sides of this equation
Proxyyyy > because u arent using gats = /
Raxip Elamp > I've only been on one side :D
Sassy B > tracking is still rubbish with autos
Sassy B > compared to rifter
Proxyyyy > bonus unbonus
Yahrr > try using blasters with void XDeven after the 'fix'
Baltasar Kyros > so the rifter is just generally better?
Sassy B > yes
Baltasar Kyros > should i train that instead?
Proxyyyy > Overall
Baltasar Kyros > punishers look so cool
Sassy B > i love punishers, but rifter is plain better
J'Ribs > Baltasar:
J'Ribs > go to eve kills
Miura Bull > you could have the best of both worlds and fly the laser rifter
J'Ribs > and see how many rifters end up on killmails. and how many punishers do.
Proxyyyy > I have killed rifters with my own gank punisher but only coz am mad elite
J'Ribs > it's 15-1 in rifters favor
Proxyyyy > but also lost twice because of nuets
Proxyyyy > had no nos
Baltasar Kyros > how does the gank punisher work?
Proxyyyy > Shield and armor ritfers**
Sassy B > its not that ganky
PhantomDan > whats the difference between nos and neut again?
Yahrr > and ccp hammer himself is a fan of rifters, so it wont be nerfed any time soon
Proxyyyy > gank pun does 115 at close range
Nomad Storm > why would they nerf them lol
Proxyyyy > 100 with scorch
Miura Bull > mad deeps
Sassy B > i dunno i prophesise an AC nerf
Wensley > how can you not be a fan of rifters
Proxyyyy > Just a good mix of tank and damage
Proxyyyy > lacks fully tackle
Yahrr > because its the only t1 frig that is in use atm? I would prefer that they boost the rest, but effort-wise a nerf is easier
Wensley > ccp hammer knows his shit
Sassy B > nah tristan is way awesome now
Yahrr > in eve its rifter-vs-rifter-vs-dramiel-vs-rifter-vs-dramiel
Nomad Storm > + drake
Wensley > sassy speaks the truth
Nomad Storm > x1000
Miura Bull > until balt steps into the field with his puni
Wensley > rifter and dram are so popular for their speed
Wensley > minmatar will always be the skirmish ship of choiuce
Proxyyyy > merlin and rifter r p much in their own league
Baltasar Kyros > hmmmm
Sassy B > train for what you think is awesome
Baltasar Kyros > so i should just go and fly around and load purple ammo?
Sassy B > dont worry about whats best
Grohalmatar > and white ammo, and listen to sassy
Yahrr > purple ammo?
Yahrr > ohh lasers...
Miura Bull > the green ammo is actually the best balt
Sassy B > green is p cool now actually
Grohalmatar > has anybody tried conflag in medium turrets yet?
Yahrr > sulei has
Miura Bull > especially flying with a mottled red backdrop of a burning amarrian sky
Nomad Storm > i used to use them before too
Yahrr > and his tracking failed
Proxyyyy > conflag and hail worked before when shooting other cruisers and bc's
Proxyyyy > only realy never worked on the frig level
Proxyyyy > speed sig and what not
Baltasar Kyros > the augror looks cool. i want to fly like that
Proxyyyy > Toady u r p bored arent you?

Thanks for reading. And thanks to all those who took part - whether willingly or not.

General storyline:
You are about to read an excerpt taken from The Tuskers Public Channel - a meeting place for all different kinds of spacefarer, from the elite pvp gods to the inbetweeners, the wannabes and the (usually) awestruck newbs looking for a helping hand.
The strings are being pulled over in Rifter Drifter channel. Wensley's new alt Baltasar is looking for a helping hand onto the pvp ladder and piracy is something that interests him greatly. One of EVE's self-proclaimed greatest trollers Proxyyyy is going to be the target subject. Previously, in Rifter Drifter channel, Toadzilla turns a trolling attempt by Baltasar into an anti-troll as he goes along with the gag to recover what looked like a steamroll move by Baltasar/Wensley. However, over in Tuskers Public things are about to get interesting . . . . .
The cast.
Wensley as himself. [String puller]
Raxip Elamp as himself. [Troll, Defensive]
Miura Bull as himself. [Troll, Offensive]
Baltasar Kyros played by Wensley. [Newb-Troll]
Proxyyyy as himself. [Famous forum-troll]
Toadzilla as himself. [Confused blame-taker]
All other members of the channel - as themselves.
And so we begin . . . .
< entering The Tuskers Public Channel >
Baltasar Kyros > hello tuskers. toadzilla told me you guys are good people to ask about learning to be a pirate.

Xuthi > if you aint already
Grohalmatar > punishers are fine, rifters are just easier, but the trick is buy a bunch, fly cheap, and learn the mechanics of piracy, learn what you can engage, how to scan etc. you just have to get out and do it
Proxyyyy > Back in the day yeah
Proxyyyy > and recently yes
Baltasar Kyros > thanks xuthi, i will do

Miura Bull > a good starter rifter that maybe you could transmit over to the puni?
Raxip Elamp > Hee hee hee Eeeeexcellent
Proxyyyy > Baltasar Kyros i think you should chat with Sassy B about some punisher love
Proxyyyy > Has good insight into z ship
Baltasar Kyros > Baltasar Kyros' Punisher

Xuthi > for a start
Miura Bull > so they don't have to fight you see

Xuthi > haha
Raxip Elamp > Pirates, man. We're all a bunch of wierdoes.
Baltasar Kyros > but better than my starter corp
Proxyyyy > Ob toady
< proxyyyy accuses Toady once again >
Grohalmatar > toady, do you think you could train for drakes or canes on this new character so we can actually do something useful together?

Baltasar Kyros > toady has been helping me
Baltasar Kyros > i am not toady
Proxyyyy > k
Miura Bull > hang in there buddy
Wensley > eh speaks the truth. toady has been helping him
ItsmeHcK1 > I do not believe.
Nomad Storm > probably been talking to himself
Wensley > rifter drifter has scrolled up too far but miura and raxip can vouch
Miura Bull > :)
Wensley > there's no need to be mean to the little nublet
ItsmeHcK1 > :P
Baltasar Kyros > thanks wensley. don't call me a nublet though!
ItsmeHcK1 > BUT HE UNLEASHED THE TROLLS!
Miura Bull > LMOL
Nomad Storm > i might have to fit a punisher now
Raxip Elamp > C Toady was giving him lots of help
Baltasar Kyros > so how should i fit it? and how do i stop people runniong way
Sassy B > LAZOR PUNISHER BEST PUNISHER wat u lookin at
Baltasar Kyros > toady said a scram would be enough but the rifter guide says otherwise :(
Proxyyyy > thnk u sasa
Proxyyyy > gank punisher ftw
Proxyyyy > let the real newbs figure out the rest
Miura Bull > cold gas and heat a good mix?
Raxip Elamp > Hey Sassy just want to say before I log soonish that I'm a huge fan of you and Lady S.
Proxyyyy > btw Sassy B 3 bs's taking down a offline pos in Egmar Solar System
Proxyyyy > Or something
Proxyyyy > guns dont seem to be firing
Baltasar Kyros > toady said i should use scorch s
Baltasar Kyros > but it says "has fairly low damage potential, low tracking and is of limited use against heavily armored targets"
Baltasar Kyros > that can't be good, surely
Baltasar Kyros > can i only shoot shield ships? :(
Sassy B > yes it is purpal laser and the second best laser. imperial navy multifrequency is WHITE LASER and the best laser.
Sassy B > lasers are best at shields but can shoot all ships
Raxip Elamp > lol
Proxyyyy > Can out damage the rifter at range and close range it can out tank
Proxyyyy > either shield or armor fits tbh
Sassy B > no at close range it can be outtracked and die going :((((
Sassy B > i have been on both sides of this equation
Proxyyyy > because u arent using gats = /
Raxip Elamp > I've only been on one side :D
Sassy B > tracking is still rubbish with autos
Sassy B > compared to rifter
Proxyyyy > bonus unbonus
Yahrr > try using blasters with void XDeven after the 'fix'
Baltasar Kyros > so the rifter is just generally better?
Sassy B > yes
Baltasar Kyros > should i train that instead?
Proxyyyy > Overall
Baltasar Kyros > punishers look so cool
Sassy B > i love punishers, but rifter is plain better
J'Ribs > Baltasar:
J'Ribs > go to eve kills
Miura Bull > you could have the best of both worlds and fly the laser rifter
J'Ribs > and see how many rifters end up on killmails. and how many punishers do.
Proxyyyy > I have killed rifters with my own gank punisher but only coz am mad elite
J'Ribs > it's 15-1 in rifters favor
Proxyyyy > but also lost twice because of nuets
Proxyyyy > had no nos
Baltasar Kyros > how does the gank punisher work?
Proxyyyy > Shield and armor ritfers**
Sassy B > its not that ganky
PhantomDan > whats the difference between nos and neut again?
Yahrr > and ccp hammer himself is a fan of rifters, so it wont be nerfed any time soon
Proxyyyy > gank pun does 115 at close range
Nomad Storm > why would they nerf them lol
Proxyyyy > 100 with scorch
Miura Bull > mad deeps
Sassy B > i dunno i prophesise an AC nerf
Wensley > how can you not be a fan of rifters
Proxyyyy > Just a good mix of tank and damage
Proxyyyy > lacks fully tackle
Yahrr > because its the only t1 frig that is in use atm? I would prefer that they boost the rest, but effort-wise a nerf is easier
Wensley > ccp hammer knows his shit
Sassy B > nah tristan is way awesome now
Yahrr > in eve its rifter-vs-rifter-vs-dramiel-vs-rifter-vs-dramiel
Nomad Storm > + drake
Wensley > sassy speaks the truth
Nomad Storm > x1000
Miura Bull > until balt steps into the field with his puni
Wensley > rifter and dram are so popular for their speed
Wensley > minmatar will always be the skirmish ship of choiuce
Proxyyyy > merlin and rifter r p much in their own league
Baltasar Kyros > hmmmm
Sassy B > train for what you think is awesome
Baltasar Kyros > so i should just go and fly around and load purple ammo?
Sassy B > dont worry about whats best
Grohalmatar > and white ammo, and listen to sassy
Yahrr > purple ammo?
Yahrr > ohh lasers...
Miura Bull > the green ammo is actually the best balt
Sassy B > green is p cool now actually
Grohalmatar > has anybody tried conflag in medium turrets yet?
Yahrr > sulei has
Miura Bull > especially flying with a mottled red backdrop of a burning amarrian sky
Nomad Storm > i used to use them before too
Yahrr > and his tracking failed
Proxyyyy > conflag and hail worked before when shooting other cruisers and bc's
Proxyyyy > only realy never worked on the frig level
Proxyyyy > speed sig and what not
Baltasar Kyros > the augror looks cool. i want to fly like that

The Bandits
The haunting space lanes of Syndicate, where many a traveller has fallen to the raiding bandits that prowl and hunt the lonely and ill-prepared - murder and bloodshed, robbery and torture. The trapped souls of a thousand crewmen scream out but nobody hears them, cursed for eternity, no escape, locked into the silence that entombs them.
A scene of destruction at a now quiet stargate. Littered with corpses, floating. Wrecks strewn across the dark skies, the twisted metal once hot, now cooling. Redundant drones, smashed to pieces, their last streams of power slowly draining as they buzz across the field with no direction.
The bandits have gone, into the night, nobody knows where. They've disappeared like a flash, in and out, swift and brutal. Somewhere down the pipe, inside their den, perhaps a bar or a brothel for ten, they count their coin, their ill-gotten gain and they make good their plans for robbery again.

This Drake Won't Break!
After having to power down and leave the fleet that I spoke of in my previous blog post - I returned to begin my journey back to our home system. The first few systems were quiet, I even passed an alliance member stalking around in his Dramiel. However, upon entering X-BV98 system I noticed a Drake on scan near a cluster of belts and decided to poke around for a closer inspection. Landing at 0 in the belt I just saw the Drake warp off, I soon slammed the thrusters into warp drive and off I went in hot pursuit . . . . And there he was again! This time he was some 50km off of me, as I burnt towards him at full speed he disappeared, he had cloaked up but to make matters worse I had become entangled on a rogue asteroid and had lost my true path towards him. Not to be outdone I stayed in the belt and after announcing the Drake was in the belts on our intel channels, I was pleased to see my alliance buddy in his Dramiel land in the belt as backup.
Now all we had to do was uncloak the battlecruiser. Easier said than done. We tried for a good ten to fifteen minutes but we couldn't find him. Marqui decided the task at hand was too much and he set a path for home. As he slammed his Dramiel into the dark skies, its engines leaving a trail of fiery blue vapour behind it a swarm of belt rats landed and began to lock me up. Now I don't usually hunt rats, kind of ruins my perfect -10 sec status but I decided to teach these punks a lesson - and just as the last rat went pop I decloaked the Drake!
I landed a scram on him and spooled up the autocannons as I began my orbit of him at close range. I called Marqui over the intel channels and he announced that he would return if I could keep hold of him, he was some 7 or 8 jumps out. By the time he got back to the field I had used up all of my EMP ammunition stocks and my gunnery crews were loading up Phased Plasma into the hot cannons. My gut feeling was that I didn't have enough ammo to finish the job as I called for more backup over comms. An alliance mate in his Thrasher was inbound as a corpmate of the Drake pilot entered the belt.
"Stealth bomber is on the field, he is launching bombs".
A bomb flew off in the opposite direction, maybe this guy should work on his bomb runs, however, surely if the bomb was somewhere near its intended target it would have also caused some bother to his mate, in the Drake, hmm. Anyway, we locked up the bomber without losing point on the Drake and smashed it into a thousand pieces of broken hot metal.
Back to work on the Drake. The Thrasher was now on the field and we began pouring on fire to the stricken battlecruiser, its shield recharging faster than we had hoped it would. Damn. The pilot of the Drake began mocking us in local, we carried on our task with zeal as a Vagabond pilot announced he was a few jumps out and would come in to our aid. Just what the doctor ordered.
And then . . .
The Drake went into self destruct mode!
Where was our Vagabond? Oh man. I was now shooting Barrage at the Drake and it was seemingly not going to die, albeit to its own sword. The pilot got cocky.
[23:15:03] sksshooter244 > yall arnt getting kill mail :)
Then our Vagabond landed. We had less than two minutes, a race against the clock, would we do it? Could we break the recharge rate of the shield tanked beast? Of course we could! The Vagabond danced around the Drake with purpose, spitting venom from its fangs like an angry snake.
[23:15:50] sksshooter244 > maybe u r
The Drake exploded in a glorious fireball.
A job well done. Looking back on the mail, I had spewed out some 65,745 damage points on the Drake and it had taken a total damage count of 114,369. I was also out of ammo.

Slaughter Fleet and the Gate of Death
And so the roam began with the first drops of blood spilling into the black emptiness of space as the Helios covert ops vessel was de-cloaked in the disruption bubble and smashed apart by the Cynabal, Jaguar, Harbinbger and Sabre. The pilot unable to save himself from the inevitable vacuum of space, a head-exploding pod death quickly followed.
The gang was beginning to swell in numbers, the fleet was forming ready for infiltration of enemy lines over in Cloud Ring region, a smash and grab raid, destruction of every single ship that would come into contact with our fleet was planned - the murder of every single pilot to be expected, no mercy. We would not disappoint. . . . .
Still waiting for fleet members to assemble over in 8-JYPM the fleet scouts reported an Industrial craft approaching the stargate in the neighbouring system, the call for bubbles was heeded and once the defenceless craft revealed himself to the waiting fleet, a swift explosion soon followed as the Iteron burst into a glorious ball of fiery light. As we sifted through the burning cargohold we were alerted by gate activation and began to re-approach the stargate. The communications network crackled into life and the scout began broadcasting. "Fleet standby - you've got a Federation Navy Comet incoming". The Comet was bubbled, tackled and swiftly despatched to the newly formed stargate scrapyard.
Our scouts had 'eyes' in a number of systems close by and reported the movements of an Apocalypse battleship - it was soon narrowed down, tackled and bludgeoned into a hot-liquid-metal blubbering wreck in next to no time as projectile fire, lasers and streams of anti-matter turned the devilishly dark sky into a hue of reds, blues and greens. Delightful. We moved back to our staging system and formed up with the rest of the fleet that was assembling.
______
Our fleet had now rumbled through a good chunk of Syndicate with little to no resistance, the few systems with stations were either empty or its residents decided to shelter in the safety of their homes as opposed to becoming another statistic for the night. A short stop over for equipment in Orvolle resulted in some of the fleet destroying an unlucky Bestower that had become entangled in a drag bubble, so close to the safety of high-sec the pilot and crew struggled to free the hulking vessel from the sticky disruption fields and its demise was guaranteed as members of our fleet set upon it with no remorse.
Then the fun began . . . . .
As we rumbled into Cloud Ring we were now the enemy fleet, baying for blood, hungry for kills and in no mood for peace talks. This was about to be the rape of all mankind as we knew it. Little did we know what eyes were upon us as we moved closer to our target system, in the course of the night it would seem that in fact there were no eyes on us at all - but for now we didn't know it, we were on the edge of a razor, the fleet had a swagger to it, we broke out of warp and settled on the MJYW-3 stargate in QXW-PV system. Our scout jumped through into the next system . . . . .
The communications network buzzed for a moment and then fell silent.
The silence was broken. "Incoming Drake - bubble up".
The pride of the Caldari Navy, for all we knew this Drake might have travelled a thousand systems before now and traversed many light-years, a romanticized vessel taking on the lawless lands of zero-security space, its destination and movements unknown to the many billions it had left behind from its Mother Lands - whatever, it was soon beaten into a ball of scrap and dust. Speaking of dust, it hardly had time to settle as an Interceptor of the Raptor variety jumped into our bubble and was then added to the pile of twisted metal with ease.
What followed over the following few hours was a bloodbath - nothing short of mass murder, death in the spacelanes, call it what you wish, ship after ship came to an end to the Slaughter Fleet's lust for destruction. Kill after kill is logged below.

Seven Days of Bloodshed
This is just a quick update on where I am right now and how things are moving on nicely since I moved into Syndicate region and became a member of The Hull Miners Union, which is part of the Random-Violence alliance. All in all I am highly impressed with the structure of the alliance, six corporations, five dedicated pvp corporations and a holding corp.
The Hull Miners Union - Executor corporation of well known former alliance Gentlemen's Club. The corp has some excellent pilots and fleet commanders and from what I've seen so far - are a good bunch of guys. 39 members.
Blackwater USA Inc. - Also former members of Gentlemen's Club and more recently Atlas Alliance. The corp has 161 members and is well known throughout New Eden for its excellent pvp pilots.
Advocates of Sin - Again, a former Gentlemens' Club corporation. More recently members of BANE. I remember these guys from in and around Amamake and membership has a strong leaning towards piracy. 48 members.
The Perfect Storm - 75 member strong former Gentlemen's Club pvp corporation. Has some great pilots within its ranks.
Black Talon Mercs - 31 member strong pure pvp corporation. The only member corp of Random-Violence not previously linked with Gentlemen's Club.
The alliance is mainly US time-zone but there is a European corporation in talks with regards joining up. I have noticed that gangs do seem to roll out at pretty much any time of the day and when there isn't a fleet up it is easy enough to jump into a Rifter or Jaguar and go out solo roaming.
I've spent the last seven days doing a variety of activities. I have roamed around Syndicate solo in my Jaguar, I've camped a well set up bubble that snagged me numerous frigate, shuttle and pod kills. I've rolled out with some pretty medium-heavy looking battlecruiser fleets of which on a couple of occasions I found myself being designated as scout, which I found to be a neat experience and I've also been part of home defence fleets. Oh, I have also roamed a low-sec route as I plan to visit low-sec at least once a week.
It has been a great week statistics wise also. 46 kills and 1 solitary loss.
Things are looking good right now. Here's to more of the same!

A Brief Moment Frozen In Time
An icy-cold blast of snow and swirling winds greets the Jaguar as it enters the stratosphere of the planet on its way down to the landing zone below. The skies are dark and a deep shade of velvet blue, visibility is close to zero and the air is crisp. Searchlights rip through the murky skies with random movements.
The planet-side outpost is a haunt for capsuleers of all walks; pirates, drug smugglers, mercenaries, haulers, salvage teams and explorers all rubbing shoulders with ordinary citizens, petty thieves and workers. A stopping off point for those seeking some form of recuperation from inter-system space travel.
The reverse thrusters blaze through the soft snow that has settled on the landing pad. The snow that is now falling on the craft sizzles and melts in an instant as the powerful and loud hum of the engines slows to a gentle rumble and then a short period of silence falls upon the outpost. A pod transfer drone approaches the frigate hull and the pilot is removed from the ship to the warmth and sanctity of the inner chambers.
The Jaguar soon to be covered in a blanket of the falling snow as it cools under the darkness above is visible from the observation platform. A lone, old and battered Badger industrial workhorse, possibly loaded with illicit goods and supplies approaches the adjacent pad ready for landing as a small gang of workers and bots prepare to unload the goods onto waiting planetary vehicles.
Just a brief moment, now frozen in time.

Welcome to Bar Central
An angry looking old man of Sebiestor blood drunkenly props up the bar with his next glass of toxic spirits next to him, the deep yellowy-green liquid bubbling away like some kind of lab experiment. His night is not far from being over it seems. Head in his hands, subdued.
Two guards, decked out in black, strong build and mean looking stand rigid at the entrance, weapon systems at hand, ready for trouble. The race of the men is not clear to me. The gleam of the bright-white interior lighting reflects vividly off of their highly-polished black military issue boots. One could be fooled into thinking they are about to enter active service as opposed to guarding a space-station food hall by day and bar and dance hall by night.
The night is vibrant, a steady beat pumps into the air via the sound system and bodies move on the half-empty dance floor, the bright lights have now dimmed and beams of colour dart across the hall. Euphoria now replaces the downbeat existence for the many workers who are here this evening. Normal beings mingling with the god-like elite, the capsuleers.
In the far corner, away from the tangled bodies on the dance floor, a deal is struck between a shady looking narcotics dealer and an addicted crash user. Within seconds the dealer has left with his next pay packet and the junkie has his fix, soon to be wasted.
The music goes on and on, the beat quickening and the light show moving faster, the hall is filled with artificial smoke, reds and greys and blues making for a mesmerizing spectacle. The hall is now full to capacity and people wait outside for a pass, the guards are in for a busy evening, a drunken lout is removed amicably, the guard dusts himself down with his glove-clad hand, possibly pleased he didn't have to use any real force this time around.
Hired dancers move enthusiastically high above the floor, sending the masses below them into trance like states, the revellers are fuelled with energy that doesn't seem to have no end. Again, the beat quickens, arms point to the ceiling. A young looking man of the Gallente race is moving to the beat, in an absolute state of ecstasy, he is dressed in pink and has hair that defies gravity. Strange.
I finish my tour of the hall and wander down the corridors away from the hive of activity, the noise gently fading away behind me. I wonder to myself just who was watching me tonight as I watched all those others. That tough looking Brutor guy wandering around the hall like some kind of lost soul. I wonder.

Oops I Accidentally the Autocannons!
This little engagement with a Thorax was taking me a little longer than I expected and as I noticed more and more ships on scan (which subsequently paid no interest to the fight) I began to assign some serious overheating to the gun rooms.
Dramiel on scan! He best not warp in on me here! Come on heat, Thorax in deep armour, work it, come on.
85% Heat damage to autocannons, Thorax is going down, no more ships on scan, turn on the intercoolers!
PUKOOOOOO!
(Jets of cold liquid quickly cool the guns)
Or that was the plan.
TSSSFUZZZLEEPOPBANG!
DANGER! Autocannons dis-engaged. BURN OUT IMMINENT!
The Thorax exploded with literally the last volley of angry projectile fire.
EVE System > Channel changed to Egghelende Local Channel
YrruC > dude ransom?
Miura Bull > sure, sec
EVE System > Channel MOTD:Hello pilot!
Studies at several medical facilities in the Heimatar region have revealed that the first instance of pain during pod death is the extreme burning sensation you will experience as the wires in your head melt. The pain released through your teeth is not pleasant and will transfer to your new clone for 30 minutes after your death..
However, the good news is you may now pay a 'denture tax' and your pod will be released. Turn off all your guns and modules. Follow the instructions below and you will be set free upon payment. Have a nice day!
Miura Bull > 20 million ?
YrruC > fu*k it blast me, im poor
YrruC > lol
Miura Bull > actually do you mind self destructing instead?
YrruC > no
Miura Bull > no you don't mind or no you won't? :)
YrruC > pop me
Miura Bull > ok, here's the deal . . . you may go, good fight
YrruC > Cheers man, you smoked me
Fun times.
