I'm sure this happens all the time but I'm gonna post it anyways.
I was bored and logged in to look for a fight. I undocked in my little covops to see what was out flying around and saw a Gallente Navy Comet and a punisher on scan. The comet disappears after nearly narrowing it down so all that is left is the punisher which is in a faction warfare complex. So I dock back up and get into my rifter. A quick check for ammo and exotic dancers and I'm off to try and get a quick kill. The character was relatively new so I thought it was going to be a boring kill.
I did not get a boring kill though. As I engaged he started running away from me with a little minor smack talk. He was about 500m/s faster than me and was just out of point range. To my surprise he turns around and comes back and engages me. I don't know if this was his intent all along or if he just figured he might as well fight. I lay into his shield which goes down quick enough but his armor is another issue. It didn't go all that quick. I adjusted my optimal down and he was only hitting me about 50% of the time. In the end he got me down to about 25% armor before his punisher exploded. This guy put on one hell of a fight.
So to Blaze Doran, well done.

A punisher went 500m/s faster than a rifter?
But gj on the kill. Was he active or buffer tanked?

So moral of the story for new players is, "Fighting back will get you killed, but hey at least you can force them to repair a little afterwards!".

Perhaps my reading comprehension is failing, but it looks like the morale of the story is "Fighting back may get you killed, but do it properly and you just might end up getting some props on C&P and a few contacts that'll be useful down the road."
Considering what some people go through to increase their C&P e-peen, a single punisher sounds like good value for money --------------------------------------------------- Recruitment thread |

Yes he was that much faster. He was plated and had a rep.

In addition to that, the main moral of the story is to fight back because it was close. Close enough that it is conceivable that he could have pulled it off if I was not on my toes.

Nate, what's up with your killboard? Your corp name appears as "duty." even though it's quite clearly capitalized here and in-game. It's quite annoying when I check up on how Siig is doing.

The only way a Punisher can go 500 m/s faster than a Rifter is with a microwarp drive. I doubt an afterburning Punisher's top speed is 500 m/s faster than even a Rifter that's not fitted with any propulsion at all unless it's loaded with Overdrive Injectors, which makes it a fail fit.

I agree, it's annoying. It's probably our vaunted host being a gay.
