A classic bit of piracy. Kids these days only care about tears, which can be funny but you have to earn a crust somehow "Human beings make life so interesting. Do you know that in a universe so full of wonders, they have managed to invent boredom." |

Seriously, didnt think/know alt scan bumping was possible I thought I'd evade you guys my doing a mission. How immature of me I just accepted loss of my retriever the moment I started getting bumped. Ejected the moment fleet warped in and got my pod out. Experience of guaranteed ship loss is enlightening for sure- and hilarious in this guy's situation :) |

Hi guys,
First time posting here, Long time EVE player back to the game after a 2 year break.
Monday
On monday afternoon, after reading C+P too much at work, i decided to try my luck at can flipping in Amarr. After about 15mins of badgering some Russian miners, it began to dawn on me that they had played 'knifey spooney' before and were just mocking me (Is it me or have carebears gotten awfully rude?). So i reluctantly called it a day, and went to spend time with the kiddies...
Tuesday.
So yesterday i decided that i would take a trip north into Lonetrek to see if any of the miners/mission runners were playing via drool-fed keyboard. after flipping a few cans a miner took a dislike for me cleaning up the universe and decided that i should be taught a lesson, so he warps off to the station and comes back in a Drake.
Idiot 1
After dropping loot off in a station i carried on merry way, where i find a poor hyperion being forced to mine veldspar by its evil overlord covetors, i thought to myself that he needed to be freed of his slavery. but unfortunately this group of slavers would not bite, disheartened i moved along cleaning the universe as i go...
Shortly after, i find another with a distaste for those who like to keep the universe clean, he started bumbling in local about how i was a thief and that i shouldnt mess with peoples game time, i promptly informed him that i am providing a service and that the gameplay of the few must be sacrificed for the many, so that we can enjoy a cleaner universe. Any way he didnt like this and so....
Idiot 2
Later on that afternoon, it was getting close to logging off time for me, to be honest i thought that i had likely found all the kills i was gonna get for today. But then i stumbled on a Gem of a miner, Can flipped and his hulk warped off, i expected him to come back in a bc like the rest..... oh how wrong i was, in warps a typhoon. I'm thinking 'can i really take a 'phoon in a 'Rax' well apparently this guy didnt have much in the way of smarts either...
Idiot 3
Hope you guys enjoyed, i know i did.

Wednesday
Undocking in my Thorax thinking that ccp is gonna swing the Nerf bat at the thorax if i carry on like this... I warped to a planet and started scanning belts.
A mining op was going on with cans (Yay), So i warp into the belt and approach a bantam mining next to a can, which is promptly flipped (i dont like to keep my customers waiting). After around 30 seconds or so he warps off so i head over to a group of guys mining, and as i'm approaching in warps a Macharial (not sure how it's spelt. Anyway the Angels faction BS) of the same corp as this little mining op, I'm approaching the can and the mach pilot locks me up. Now he's a 2012 char , so i'm getting a semi about getting a mach kill in a Thorax when they pull in the can...... Damnit two got away.
Apparently the bantam pilot was just fetching a combat ship and returns in a Thorax, Which i promptly turn into space trash. I'll give that guy kudos though, he was freindly and i even shared my 'Rax setup with him for being such a good sport about it.
Kill the first
After clearing up the loot from my fresh kill i went back into incognito mode scanning from planets flipping some cans, (Trying to avoid getting into a group with corpies, i think can flipping is a very solo profession. In the end i give in and ask them to come in cloakers maybe they can catch a hauler coming back after the kill or something *Shrugs*
Still trying to remain solo i switch systems and pick on a Retriever mining, flip his can and wait........ He warps off, And returns in a Raven 'Jackpot Ding Ding Ding' i thought to myself as he locks me up. Now i know from past experience ravens can be pretty tough to break when used right......
This one apparently wasn't.
Kill the second
My corpmates at this point couldnt believe that i'd just killed a Raven in a Thorax.
I am now thinking about retiring for the day, one last flip. I think to myself this guy has t2 drones he ain't gonna engage. Wrong! He lets loose his drones and i teach him that mining barges ARE NOT combat ships (in general)
Kill the third
I warp to the station pondering silently my belief that genius comes in many forms.... And this can jetting, roid humper... Ain't one of them.
Also ive noticed that people don't tend to give into ransoms. i offer them as i'd rather get 70% of the hull price of a Raven than the kill on the board. Anyone else found this?
I may not be posting for a couple of days as its my Daughters birthday today. So next one will probably go up on Saturday morning.
Take it easy guys.

In the end, i did manage to find time to play some EVE so here goes...
Thursday
Family members had left, leaving me with a feeling that somones internet spaceship needed to die. I undocked and began my prowl.....
After flipping a few cans, and getting quite frustrated at people not taking the bait (Inlaws put me in a bad frame of mind) i flip a can and wait, a Thorax warps off and thirty seconds later a Catalyst warps in and locks me but doesnt aggro. At this point i'm thinking about just blowing him out the sky for the hell of it... When in warps the thorax again, which locks me up and they both fire, leaving them open to my inlaw fuelled wrath.
Idiot 1
Idiot 2
Feeling much more level headed i scooped the loot and headed along my merry way, bumping into Kane along the way. I almost pissed myself there and then!
Drawing my hunting session to a close i had stuff to do on an industry alt (I know for shame right?) i flipped a few more cans when i see a Cormourant mining, flip the can and wait.... the Corm warps just as a Merlin warps in, he starts a mwd orbit, meaning my web is practically ******* useless at this point, so i manual fly my ship to reduce my transversal and boom one less miner enslaved combat ship in the world.
Idiot 3
I retired for the night to a life of menial Industry based tasks. I am but a lowly PVP'er enslaved buy this massive economy that is Industry. Some people call me a Hero. I am not, i do as any other would do given the chance...

I will be honest... I have not really found another ship that fills this role as well as the Thorax. It is great agaist frigs up to BattleShips.
I am Fiddling with a Moa fit.... right now. I'm not a Pirate, I'm a Terrorist.

Friday
Friday was a very unproductive day for PVP. I actually lost two Thorax's. The first was to a zealot who left the fight in structure (IMO it doesnt matter weather you win by an inch or a mile) and the other was to a fleet issue tempest.
The kill i did get was from a hauler that i was can baiting. which i had an amusing convo with.....
Hauler Kill

So, being kind of bored with EVE and developing a case of bitter vet syndrome, I thought I'd set up shop in Mai. Quiet little lowsec dead end system, maybe we'll get some good fights, set up some POCO's and make enough ISK to sustain a couple of accounts with sporadic activity.
A couple of weeks in, it was looking pretty dim. A couple of small engagements here and there, but nothing of note. That said, the POCO's were in place and a decent, if not awesome, ISK train was choo choo'ing to my wallet. I had a small tower set up in system but being as it's 0.4 and unable to assign fighters I thought it was time to pull it down. Well, no sooner had I made that decision than I wake to find my POS is reinforced as are two of my POCO's.
The aggressors were known to me, rocking around system with Revelations, Archons and Bhaalgorns, picking fights with anyone stupid enough to take their bait. We hadn't crossed swords so I hadn't really considered them a serious threat until now. Well, reinforcing one's POS is one way to announce yourself I suppose. I hopped on the bat phone and called in some favours. Friends from far and wide answered the call, many of whom were red to each other but put their differences aside in my time of need.
Reinforcement ends and we have a small contingent in system, just 5 or 6 in a small gang, feeling out our enemy. Sure enough they bring a fight on my POS, lose a Loki in the process, costing us a Drake and a Rifter in turn. Still, their fleet was supported by an Archon and a Bhaalgorn and under the circumstances we were pretty happy with the result. That said, we were afraid we'd spooked them into not proceeding with the assault on the POS. Such fears were quickly evaporated.
Immediately they reshipped into Revelations and, along with the Archon, land on the POS. All four Revelations enter siege mode and open up on the POS and I return fire with my remaining POS guns. With the dreads sieged, the go signal is lit and local has about 60 sub caps enter system and make a bee line for the POS. Upon landing, the Archon goes into Triage[?] and moments later a Rapier also lands. It was quickly vapourized and attention was turned to the caps. With our pair of Archons now landing on site the Dreads were melting very fast under the sustained fire and, in what can only be described as a move of desperation, they called on a Bhaalgorn to assist. It was tackled and jammed out in short order, leaving nothing but death for the aggressing fleet.
End result. The small Amarr tower was destroyed. We also lost a Typhoon a Hurricane and another Rifter. Their losses, four Revleations, an Archon, a Rapier and a Bhaalgorn. Not to mention the Loki from earlier with the Civilian laser. In excess of 17 billion ISK in losses to take out my lil' tower. :)

To be fair though. A HAM Drake will eat the Thorax like chew toy.
The Drakes I lost against were HAM drakes. I'm not a Pirate, I'm a Terrorist.

I really need to relocate. My current haunts, everyone just lets me run off with their ore before they dock up and hide under the covers. Income is great, but my guns are bored. |

A harsh introduction to Eve
Pirates in general aren't particularly nice people. In eve most pirates will simply blow you up for what ever booty can be found in your ships wreck or perhaps ransom your pod, and sometimes even ransom your ship. To a veteran player a pirate suddenly attacking you can get the blood pumping and to a new player it can not only get your blood pumping but also be very confusing.
A good pirate or rather skilled pirate will seek to exploit such an advantage that confusion brings it isn't a kind thing to do but none of us became pirates because we prefer peace over profit.
The particular patch of lowsec I patrol routinely doesn't get a whole lot of new players, but it is close enough to some new player systems that occasionally a few wander in seeking to establish themselves and create some great lowsec empire or some such nonsense. I always keep an eye out for these new players because I enjoy giving them their first real taste of Eve, and it really is easy profit. Typically it isn't much profit maybe a few mil tops but every bit helps at the end of the day.
I was making some rounds in a particular lowsec system that has a lot of belts in an attempt to spawn a faction rat, when I noticed a giant secure container anchored in the belt. Which is really rare now days, that they get destroyed if they are left inactive for too long. So I flew up to it, showed info and saw who dropped it. A new player who had only been playing a couple weeks. He wasn't around so I left making a mental note that if I saw him in system I'd have to check out that belt for him again.
Fast Forward a couple days later and I'm flying through to do my usual rounds when I notice that the guy in is local, I fly to the planet next to the belt and hit scan and sure enough there is an Osprey on scan. I warp in and he is mining peacefully by his giant secure container and he has even anchored a few more in the belt.
I hit my MWD and charge at him, as he continues to mine unaware of his impending doom. I lock him hit my disrupter and start pounding him away with rockets and he melts, down to half hull in no time. I convo him and it goes something like this.
Me:3 million isk to keep your ship.
Miner:I only have 500,000 isk.
Miner:If you let me mine I give you 50% of my ore I collect.
I can help but smile at this, and part of me is tempted to see if he would actually do such a thing or not. But still it is far more likely that he would just run off and I'd never see him again. Still 50% ore appeals to my inner crime boss, I always wanted to start my own mafia.
Either way though it doesn't look like there is much profit to be had here for me. Half a mil isn't much a ransom and if I blow him up I'm not likely to get more than a couple mil worth of loot if that. So I grin to myself and demand the one thing almost no eve Veteran would ever do but a new player might actually think is a good idea.
Me:Eject from your ship you have 15 seconds!
Normally I give a target roughly 30 seconds to comply with my demands, as preassure makes them more likely to pay and less likely to stall or try to play games. But since I want his ship I need to give him even less time to think so I cut my usual time in half.
Me:15
Me:10
Me:5
At about 4 seconds he Ejects and I laugh to myself, he actually did it, I've got an osprey just sitting in space waiting to be boarded by anyone.
I tell him to leave in the chat and a bit later I see a hauler on scan and he then leave the system. As this is happening I'm logging in my industrial character who is only a few jumps away and moving him there.
A couple minutes later my character boards his new though some what damaged osprey and heading to station to repair it. I then fly it back to Highsec actually passing the guy I just hijacked the osprey from in his badger on my way.
Loot Breakdown by isk 1x Osprey 5mil 3x Miner II 3mil 1x Medium Ancillary Shield booster 7mil (at the time) Various other mods 1mil
Total profit 16mil minus ammo and a 500k repair cost to the osprey
I'm still really pleased with my luck, I was able to change what might of netted me a couple mil most likely or 7mil if the booster had survived but the loot fairies hate me I doubt it. Into a hijacking of a ship and a total profit of roughly 16mil.
So yes us pirates aren't nice people but it isn't always because we like to blow other people up. Piracy is about more than explosions and kill mails it is about ISK and taking stuff that doesn't belong to you.
TL:DR I took a noobs osprey, and sold it + mods for 16mil after he said he didn't have enough isk to pay the 3mil ransom Nyan Cat Pirate Recruitment

There I was, my WH Corp had just imploded due to stupid CEOs not allowing more than 1 person to fuel a POS
Ive been playing Eve a month so I knew just enough to know that I was stupid broke (at 5 mil) with a Caracel Cruiser that I liberated from my Former Corps hanger before the russians blew that POS to hell (Bloody Russians)
I jump from the WH in a rush and ended up in some Amarran Low sec space...
me being about as seasoned in low sec as an uncooked steak I warped next to the sun to see what this Caracel was worth I was Totaling up my possible high sec mining career fund when outta the blue this Mammantoh warps in about 10 km away
I glanced back at my ship's fitting as luck would have it, a warp scrambler was already fitted and A full set of Assault Launchers (something I was actually skilled in) loaded for battle!
so my thought process... the slowest tackle across 10 km of space, **** It
I Set the engines to full and target the Indy like i actually knew what i was doing... cause I didnt
1 ridiculously long minute of flying later I was finally in range of the Scambler
So I lock up and scram this unlucky indy then fire with all this stolen crusier had
After a few volleys (and all of his shields gone and his armor about to follow) he opens a channel with me
Indy : PLEASE DONT DESTROY MY SHIP! Me : Yarr! Why should I not send ye to the deep!? (It should be noted I was pretty much high on adrenline at that point) : Please just stop firing! Lets work out a deal : Ye Cowardly Crow! Taste the wrath of me Launchers (Perfectly timed with my next launch of Missles) : Here 25 Million *Wallet Flash 25 mil Isk* 100 Mil Dabloons I say! Or Ill send ye to sleep with davy jones! *Wallet flash 100 million* BEGONE WITH YE, YOU COWARDLY SWINE!
I unlock and he speeds off into the blackness
I Blink... and load up my wallet... all 125 Million Iskies sitting in my account
And that my friends is how a pirate be born! |
