Let me tell you the story of my first Arazu. It was the ship I was in when I heard about DarkElf's untimely demise while hunting a fight in Frerstorn - and I dedicated the ship to his memory right then. It wasn't a new ship by any means - I'd been flying it for quite some time by then. In this ship, and in his honor, I have killed dozens of people worth many billions of ISK. I've done all kinds of things - from solo PVPing in Metropolis and Syndicate/Outer Ring to gang PVP in Branch/Venal/Tenal to hot drops all over Eve. Just last night, I nabbed a Hurricane, Maelstrom, and Prophecy - barely missing a Domi - in it. Today, I lost it to gate guns as I flew across Amarr with a -2.5 sec status. It was looted and salvaged within a minute.
Fly safe DarkElf. Heros are always missed, and they're never forgotten.

Not going to say you shouldn't have risked losing it because not flying it would have been a little too emo for a few spaceship pixels but it is a touching write up just the same.
You have my respect for paying respect to a dear one lost after a few years.

Nice tribute to DE, My one and only arazu lost was because I had GCC and bumped into a Concord Billboard , out of curiosity how did you setup your arazu? Shield tank with balsters? RSD with rails? Mine was paper thin with RSD and rails and I loved it.

RSD with Rails. Lots of fun!
Arazu - Fly Safe DE 2 250 Rail II, Cyno, Covops Cloak MWD, Disruptor, Scrambler, 3 Phased Muons 3 Overdrive IIs, CPR 2x Large Inverted
Normally had a med neut or covops cyno in place of the cyno. Cargo had an armor tanked fit for cyno work.

DarkElf took me on my first ever yarrr patrol, and we ransomed a russian guy by making him come onto our vent and sing "I'm a little teapot"
Now I just made myself sad

Yeah it still worked. Not well - but it worked. My newest Arazu completely neglects the damp bonus, since its mostly worthless anyway.

Well, it has been used for solo PVP! Had 3 200s or 2 250s and a med neut! But yeah... cyno fit. Man, one of the biggest dreams I had for that ship was decloaking it in the middle of a 5-6 man gang, pointing them all, and popping a cyno. I guess it'll have to wait for my next Arazu.

I was just wondering last week, whatever happened to the station that they named after him. I think it was called DarkElf, the world is yours.

I bet he would have appreciated the way you remembered him.
I'm also damn sure he'd laugh his ass off at the way you lost the ship

I just woke up from sleeping from a nightshift, first thing that happens when I get online is I see a thread about this on our forums and get linked here.
Awesome start to the day.

I'm going to have to agree with this. It's sad to see you lose the ship after so long, but at the same time I'm sure he'd be laughing his ass of given how you lost it.
Thanks for the story man, it's always an awesome thing to remember a good friend by seeing random tributes like this crop up.

It was taken over about 8 months after it was renamed.
Funnily enough, the new owners actually mailed us and apologised for renaming it to be in line with the names of the rest of their outposts.

Don't feel bad. I fly Arazus from time to time and have lost one or two *cough* in a bubble.
They really took it in the **** with the damp nerf, sadly. Not as good a ship as they once were.

Nice story.
I learned a lot about tactics on the forums from him back in '07. He was an active contributor and seemed like a nice guy.

Maybe we should consider doing a little smash and grab to get another outpost to rename Verone? -
