setup throughout vid
7x Heavy electron blaster I
1x Y-t8 overcharged mwd 1x 7.5k scrambler 1x x-5 webber 1x med cap injector I
2x Medium armour rep II 1x each of thermal, kinetic, explosive 50% hardners
This follows the story of my obsolete brutix I decide to use for piracy. I'm being adventurous using folk rock backing tracks, but at least it'll be fresh to the forums. This is my first time pirating solo though I have taken part in fleet pvp ops before. This is also my first time making a Fraps movie (the first scene still has the advert as I hadn't decided whether or not to buy it....).
Any suggestions or down right criticism is, as always, most welcome.
Any complaints about spelling/punctuation/grammer etc should be posted on a stamped addressed postcard to the following:

Hehe, I was watching this just as I happened to be moving my Brutix to the frontlines for some solo pirating action later.

Some interesting fights there. I'm a big fan of using cap boosters in Gallente ships myself.
That Celestis pilot must have been very competent indeed. He did very well to keep you pinned down long enough for back-up to arrive. Unlucky about that last fight. |

Nice fights man, but then no-one knew what to expect, just you wait until you're blinking red and everyone instadocks the moment you enter Local.
You can get better image quality fairly easily though, when I return I'll show you which step needs to be done differently.

Nice video. Too bad about the quality though. Wolverine is right... you really need to invest on some of those "drone" things. A solo celestis wouldn't be able to tank 5 hammerhead or valkrie II's on his ass.

Trouble with using medium drones while out solo in a Brutix is you're ridiculously vulnerable to any AF or interceptor that fancies tackling you indefinitely.
I also take 10 Warriors over 5 Valkyries; the latter just can't keep up with a smart 'ceptor pilot (who'll slow down, force them into orbit and accelerate again).

Well, About the video quality, I'm sorry it wasn't too good. When Si gets back from holiday I'll remake it as I have the raw footage still on there. I'll prolly put an epilogue on it and spell opportunity correctly as well (thanks to my Mum for pointing it out):
"so what did you think Mum?" "You misspelt opportunity"
My drones did appallingly against that Celestis, but I wanted to keep the Brutix in a tech I setup (except the reppers) as I know how badly luck can turn against you in solo piracy. So I'll stick to tech I drones but use a different setup with them...
And the Celestis beat me fair and square (though I wish he'd have ransomed me). I'm not gonna whine about jammers and nos, just adapt and play things differently next time. It was a ten minute fight and got me sweating...I'd used one of my cap boosters up chasing a Caracal that did 1250 M/s and outran me. I could have stayed in there another 30 seconds if I'd restocked but I don't think it would have made too much of a difference...That's the risk you run with active cap - 5 minutes of tankage but then you're left with the cap charge rate of a noob ship and vulnerable
I know the footage seemed a litte slow there Duros, but I think it's always good to tell the story and give a little background. Some scenes were streched out to sync the music to scene changes and explosions too. I sped up the first 3 fights 2x, the hauler kill was real time and the last fight was sped up 4x. What do you think? Should I have sped them up more perhaps?
Not sure if I'd have the powergrid to fit 2 more nos - will look into it though. Also it would reduce my damage per second - that ferox fight took rather longer than I expected.
Yeah, Folk rock isn't everyone's cup of tea but I really like it and try my best to introduce something different into the forums. I thought the Fairport Convention story was apt for the ending as it talks about the king commisioning a lord to sail a ship who he thought was a great captain. Turns out the lord had never set foot on a boat before and so out he went like a n00b into stormy waters and drowned. Just goes to show how some things never change....
I'll go back to 0.0 carebearing for a while to recover my sec status. It gives the element of surprise - YARRR!!!
Finally, I don't know why I didn't attack the mining barge and move onto the Ferox. I suppose I really wanted the Ferox kill more than the Barge. Looking at the timing of his support, however I think it was good I got straight to work on the Ferox.....Hindsight is 20/20.
I've still not got round to evemailing the other guys in this Vid. My apologies for that but I'll get round to it this weekend.
A big thankyou for all your comments/suggestions/opinions, they're all greatly valued
