Paamoralest, Traitor

Paamoralest, Traitor

Place:               Belt One Planet VI

System:            Intaki

Constellation:   Viriette

Region:            Placid

I flew in at two hundred kilometres off the centre of the belt, picking the appropriate rock nearest to my targets I warped down among them, at first they seemed still or confused then I opened fire. The ships volleys seemed to cut through the small frigates like paper, when they were down I moved onto the battleship. Its shields went down like the frigates but its armour was tougher stuff however it still seemed to do a better job then one of my destroyers and in not too long a time there was nothing left but a burnt out wreck. The last transmission I heard before it finally went silent comprised of just two words “Fraud...... TRAITOR”.

Its not about who made the ship its about how you use it, the Daredevil is an excellent ship in my humble opinion and despite its origins I will happily use one. Why not,  if given the choice between the kitchen knife made by your friend and the hand gun made by your enemy you'd pick up the hand gun to protect yourself, not the knife. Ships are not good and they are not evil they simply serve the purpose of there master.

As you might be able to tell I recently bought some Daredevil hulls and have been using them to destroy the the Serpentis scum who occupy our home system. At first they did think I was one of them and they would cry traitor as flames engulfed what remained of there ships however that surprise has now worn off as intel regarding my true identity has leaked out. All the same I have christened my new ship Paamoralest the Intaki work for traitor just to emphasise that this ship is not being used for the purpose its Angel Cartel engineers made it for.

Aliastra, Serpents and Cows

In the last week I have managed to stockpile a nice size stash of the new Aliastra Thorax's, twenty four to be precise. On the subject of the Aliastra corporation, I have been working quite closely with them as of late and recently I organised an operation where a small contingent of ILF pilots and their allies flew the Aliastra colours while performing a scourge on local serpentis targets. This included (but was not solely) an attack on the Serpents Coil followed by a cleaning up of all Serpentis anomalies in the Vilinnon system.

Hopefully these new Thorax hulls will be put to a similar task though I have not decided as of yet what that task will be however I have got my hands on an Aliastra battleship hull which I'm hoping to use as a flagship.

I have also started researching the idea of some ways to boost economic growth in my home town, this will take the form of the introduction of a herd of livestock to populate the pastures on the towns outskirts. Although such an idea has been tried in the past, this time I am considering the use of genetically engineered livestock to improve the chances of success. In the past my brother and sister introduced a herd of cattle which ended up being infected by a rare jungle parasite, the parasite would decrease milk output and eventually kill the host.

A virus was eventually produced to kill the parasite but due to some unfortunate error in the genetic makeup the viral agent remained active in the parasite for a small time after its death, so the dead parasites would become poisonous to the livestock, needless to say this pretty much finished the remaining livestock off as the dead creatures would end up falling off into the feed fields. Many had also died from more common diseases as well.

Hopefully this time we shall have more success.

The More We Burn The More We Learn

Another day another ship, things haven't gone so well of late, that's not to say I'm not bathing in my new found riches, it's just to say my losses are up again. This probably is the result of me recently taking more risks in combat with not only capsuleer pirates but also our serpentine friends.

On the plus side these losses have come with a few more victories to my name and hopefully in time I will learn more, becoming a much more efficient fighter. With Gallente frigate skill almost at five the days of advanced frigate combat draw ever nearer and though this won't change my general choice of the t1 frigate it will put another string on my bow.

Lost a cruiser yesterday in a DED 4 site, just couldn't get the damn thing to align. Luckily in some ways the sense of impending doom did allow me time to give the order for all crew to abandon ship. This allowed many more to get away with their lives intact. I then returned in a destroyer and managed to kill the remaining serpentis pirates. The loot from their ships totalled at one hundred and forty six million ISK and payed for my loss just under four times.

I guess the major factors of the eve universe are often to do with risk and reward, the reward isn't always money though that does help, sometimes it's honour, respect, knowledge or even companionship. A life in low security space showcases this idea perfectly, there are rare ores to be collected and good loot and bounties on the general pirate populous, not to mention the untapped wealth of the wrecks, lost drones and anomalies. Risks however are also numerable, the pirates are tough and can easily make mincemeat of any mining barge if the pilot is even slightly slow at warping out. The capsuleers, myself included, are under no obligation to hold back, meaning there are many sizable pirate capsuleer corporations which roam with little to no rules to stop them attacking who they please.
