I have just returned to Eve after a few years absence and after being not able to find any people willing to play in my lowsec area, I went into hisec to see if fun could be had.
So I roam through Uttindar and annoy the local miners. I arrive at a belt, it's full of wrecks. Luckily, the owner of the wrecks is still there as well, mining in a Retriever. Seconds after I land he warps off, business as usual. You should think people know how hisec game mechanics work.
I am chatting with a friend and while doing so orbit one of his wrecks. I have not looted them, so the Retriever pilot does not have killrights (yet). After a minute or so, he comes back in a Tornado and lands at a spot about 180km out of the belt, far away from me, staying there and watching me peacefully orbitting what he believes is rightfully his own space garbage.
Then suddenly he decides to warp to his wrecks and loot them. Alrighty, here we go. I wait for him to loot all but his last wreck. He approaches and shortly before he's there I take the (very valuable, of course) scrap metal and make it mine. Muhaha, more scrap for me...He does the only logical thing left for him, and that of course is to defend his honor as this belt's only garbage collector and starts shooting at me. Only problem, at that point I was already orbitting him at 1000m with AB on, so his guns never hit me even once. Let's just say that my guns hit him a little better.
So, looks like I can at least still kill guys in hisec, yay for me. Next day, I am roaming through lowsec again, looking for a fight. Jump into a system, two people in it. I quickly look them up on battleclinic, one guy in an Incursus with quite a number of kills, the other guy in a Cyclone with no kill and a handful of losses so far.
I find them both in a mission room, they warp away even before I come out of warp. Actually I only saw the Cyclone, and only very briefly in my overview. I warp back to a safe spot just to find the Cyclone back again in the mission, the Incursus nowhere to be seen. Back in I warp just to get my ass handed to me. Quick chat in local afterwards and the guy tells me that the other guy is actually his alt and that he renamed his alt's Incursus to look like it belonged to his main. Nice trap, probably nothing you would fall for, still, I did. But I'm practically an Eve noob again. At least the Tornado drops more or less refinanced a new Thorax. |
