One day, while watching battleclinic I noticed a rush of kestrels killmails... Then I said to my self: 'Kestrels cannot be that bad!'
I opened EFT and shortly I had a fit ready. Almost cap stable, scoring high at everything I was aiming for (speed, agility, range, etc). I took it out for a spin. Got a couple of kills. Then I had a couple of looses.
The postmortem analysis revealed a minor flaw in construction which was corrected shortly. I was no longer 'almost' cap stable, but I had greater tackling range. Also my tactics improved a bit and minor adjustments were made to client settings.
Then I took it to the next level. Got 10 similar fits. Started running them and frapsing. YARRRR!
And so the Kestrel Diaries begin!
You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLCjDNg9IrX6n0Vm3IEzGvkbkjRqDoi09g
Fly safe and have fun!
P.S. I know that using the same music track for the first 6-7 videos is lame. I've corrected it! Now unique tracks for every episode. |

Thank you for you kind words :)
Not yet. But if there will be a sequel (I still have kestrels left) I would try a totally different style. But Condor might be a nice pick for another sequel. The sequel of the sequel.
P.S. You can check the playlist on regular basis or subscribe because I am adding new videos as I produce them.

As we speak, the final 3 episodes are uploading...
It was a fun ride and I never regret starting it. As I sum up, I can say that:
- I destroyed 17 ships (I got help for one) and I lost 11 kestrels + 3 expensive pods (last one on my way back to Jita, after the diary ended, server lagged )
- I lost 537 millions ISK and I destroyed 262 millions is (oh, those 3 pods...)
- I gathered loot that gave me back around 100 millions (oh, those 3 pods...)
And the obvious conclusions :
- Never pvp with expensive pods - 2x+3 implants maximum.
- Always stick to the plan - do what you know best!
- Avoid obvious traps.
- Always wear off your suspect status before going to high sec.
- Whatever you don't kill fast when you have your change, will come back and kill you.
- If you're in for the numbers (k/d ratio, etc) don't! Have fun! Loose your ship. Loose your pod. Loose your ISK. But whatever you do: Don't loose your spirit!
I am planning to start the sequel, so stay tunned! Hopefully will have a lot more fun! YARRR!!! |

Yes, the CCC's are there for cap stability.
Have fun. Ruthlessness is the kindness of the wise. Never forgotten, never forgiven. |

I would suggest you either stop using implants or get better at warping out after fights..
Losing 11 frigs and 500+ mill kinda voids the whole "frigs are cheep to fly" point. |

Thank you!
That's how I see it from my pod. With pluses and minuses. Hopefully in the next campaign I will win the ISK war also . |

Actually, the frigs were cheap. It was the pod losses that made him lose the isk war. |
