I showed up to one yesterday in a RR Domi fit that had been posted to participants, but missed a key change to that fit that that was posted later. Fortunately, all it cost us was some time and some well-deserved profanity over voice comms. I quickly refit and we got back to work. The tower still died. Lesson 6: Large POS guns in hisec are pretty much worthless. The above-mentioned POS had a rather impressive array of large pulse laser and large autocannon batteries. Their paper DPS should have melted us, but we easily speed-tanked most of the incoming DPS in slow-boating battleships and remote-repped the rest. If they had dedicated the same PG resources to small and medium AC batteries, we would have had a much tougher go of it. Lesson 7: For the love of all that is good and holy, when you get wardecced, move everything that you can out of your POS. (For that matter, don't store stuff that you're not using there ever if you can help it.) Stuff in production, yeah, that's stuck there, but massive stores of datacores, RAMs, Interfaces, etc. that can't possibly all have been in use? Yeah, get those out as soon as the war is declared, and certainly before people start shooting at your POS. Confirming all three lessons.

Especially if said defenders include 'ratting newbros with relatively expensive pods. Wait, you ATE the Fedo? Fml. Also, confirming I am in fact a man of my word. If a bit forgetful.

I hear that they do, however, talk lots of smack, make idle threats, are generally unpleasant, have anger management issues, and don't know how to take compliments. This is the truth. It takes a gentleman to recognize and admit his errors. The only one here talking smack is Elbee.

Tengu Grib Happy Fun times Spaceships in Space 660	Posted - 2014.11.16 23:51:54 - [6] - Quote Bronson Hughes wrote: Lesson 14: When anchoring a secure container, don't forget to set the password. While doing a little old-fashioned exploring, I came across an offline POS with a Giant Secure Container anchored below it. Whether the owners were simply being frugal and only putting the tower online when necessary or forgot to refuel it I'll never know, but they had left a cache of goodies in the anchored can that I promptly absconded with. Hardly a king's ransom in ISK by any means, but certainly worth it's weight in hilarity. I once stole a Rifter from an offline POS. Still have it. The New Order is recruiting PVP pilots. Code. Forums are the place to be, all are welcome! The Law of High Sec.

If you like, but I consider the issue resolved. I suppose it depends on whether Zappity feels appropriately mocked. I know I would. In all seriousness though, stuff like this I really enjoy reading because it provides me the chance to avoid making the same mistakes, and instead discovering whole new ones. Or failing to recall the lessons learned here and repeating their mistakes (or ones similar). Sabriz for CSMX! Tora for CSMX!

Gratz to you for taking the loss onn the chin and still having fun. This game takes on a whole new meaning once you realize that shooting red crosses is only a means to an end! Hey thank you! Yes, it was the first time that I finally had a fight with other players, living in lowsec it was only a matter of time before it happens. And yes it was fun, I had some "internal vibrations" even if my options were limited by the time. But I finally launched my warriors against the Orthrus; after all it's better to die fighting than doing nothing. And don't laugh but I was happy to put a single dent in its shield . You are right it isn't comparable at all with shooting crosses, that was really tense and fun. I saved my main's ship and the pod of my alt, I consider myself lucky. The pod really warp off like an arrow if you align it before to be exploded, I could effectively test it this time haha. Of course at the end I put the obligatory "gf" in local and had a little chat with the guys, that was cool The loss is OK, it's just my stupidity to warp back, but anyway like one of the "ebil" pirate said; "**** happens" You, sir, will go far in EvE with an attitude like that. Props to you for your handling of the situation and your overall outlook on the encounter. Agreed. Good work Karl Jerr. For your first PVP encounter I'd say you fared spectacularly well.

I'll spare you all the typical dramatic battle report given the nature of the lesson and just say that my beloved Hull Tanked Vexor Navy Issue has finally been defeated. I probed down my opponent with my CovOps alt, and after dancing a bit finally got him to commit. Mad props to Khaan, his tank was absolutely sick. I chatted with him after, and he said that he was sporting a dual-rep active tank that held up under neuting pressure. Very nice. Note to self: Train Amarr Cruiser V. For serious? Damn, I'd love to see that fit. Sounds pretty scary. Sabriz for CSMX! A vote for Tora is a Vote for a HS Theme Park.
Tengu Grib Glorious Revolutionary Armed Forces of Highsec CODE. 903	Posted - 2015.02.10 16:53:46 - [13] - Quote Bronson Hughes wrote: Lesson 38: POS passwords need to be entered for all of your ships, not just some of them. Oops. Corollary to Lesson 38: Making grand statements about how you learned long ago to always set your POS passwords likely ensures that you forget to in the near future. Yes, I totally did that. Buggar! Lesson 39: Inaction can speak louder than actions. A local friend in a very small corp lost a pair of POCOs to a 90-ish player corp last night. Fair enough, they brought far more guns, that's how EvE works. Said friend wasn't griping, but he was looking to counterattack. This morning, we (4 pilots total) very casually dropped one of the aggressor's POCOs down to 50% shields while a dozen-ish of them were semi-active in systems 1-3 jumps out, including one in-system with us. To me, this sends the wrong message. It says, "Hey, we're pushovers and we don't like risking ships". Bad form. If you're looking for a risk-averse corp to have some fun with, then Aurora Armaments may be for you. I'll add them to my list of entertainment. Sabriz for CSMX! Consider voting Tora as well.

Tengu Grib Glorious Revolutionary Armed Forces of Highsec CODE. 1118	Posted - 2015.04.21 17:20:23 - [15] - Quote Bronson Hughes wrote: Lesson 48: Time away really does dull your edge. Fortunately, this dulled edge has only cost me missed opportunities, not lost ships. So far.... Lesson 49: Dual-boxing two ships actively fighting is a lot harder than it looks, especially with the aforementioned dull edge of Lesson 48. I was hanging out in a favorite losec system in my favorite VNI when my scout found a Myrmidon sitting in a belt. It had been there way too long to be 'ratting which usually only means one thing: bait. I fired up another character on another account and got a neut-heavy 'Geddon in-system; the belt was 50+ AU from gates, so I figured I'd have time to gank the Myrmi and get out. After some dancing, I get the Myrmidon tackled, neuted, and start applying DPS with both my VNI and my 'Geddon. This is where thing start getting ugly. First, I notice that the Myrmi switched DPS from my 'Geddon, which had been tanking nicely, to my VNI, which was very quickly dropping. I didn't notice this right away because I had been watching the active tank and cap booster on my 'Geddon. I also noticed that the Myrmi had managed to keep tackle on my VNI despite the neut pressure. Just as I start maneuvering my VNI to get away, I notice that local has surged. It was a trap after all, but what I hadn't counted on was that the reinforcements were coming from a nearby wormhole. Almost as soon as I notice local surging, a Garmur lands on grid and tackles my VNI, which is now perilously close to death. I manage to get my 'Geddon's neuts on the Garmur just as the Myrmi explodes and make good my escape with both ships as the rest of the hostiles land on grid; my VNI at 16% structure, my 'Geddon at nearly full armor. I lost a handful of drones, and the illusion that dual-boxing was as easy as I had expected, but it was a good fight all around. Is boxer with overlays can help with that. Should look into it. It's pretty handy. I do know what you mean with the dual boxing being hard though, it really is. Most definitely not as good as two separate pilots.

Most definitely not as good as two separate pilots. I've dual-boxed frigates (usually one 'ceptor and one 'bomber) against easy targets (usually mining barges) quite a few times before. But those engagements were so short, the tactics so straightforward, the cap management so non-existent, and the builds so simple, they were far easier to manage than this one. Active tanks and/or full racks of neuts, not to mention drones, take a lot more brainpower than lock, orbit, point, and shoot. Absolutely. I did a couple fights with Ishkur and Ashimmu. It was interesting. I lost the Ishkur but traded it for a Rook so I was happy.

Unfortunately though the only reason the Ishkur died was because I stuck around to try and scoop the fed navy drones that got left behind by the Ashimmu when Tengu warped away on fire. Just as I was getting to the drones a stabber jumped through the gate. Turns out Ishkurs don't fare well against autocannon stabber with a web.

I feel like it only matters in certain situations though. In a WH bashing POCO hiding that intel is great. If you're burning all the modules on a tower though, switching out for each one would be a pain, but maybe shipping down for the last couple % of the tower itself and staying in that for the mods would work. For most things HS it wouldn't matter but could be useful for dedicated fleets running specific doctrines with particular weaknesses. In 0.0 I don't think it would be worth doing at all.
