You can blow up your own cans.. The ore I moved went from his can into mine. Seeing as how I blew him up, I blew up my can with the ice in it :D

OK time for a good update finally! This weekend was filled with corp ops! First time ever! Latter I will post a pic of the ōfleetö we brought into low sec! ūsnicker-
So my weekend started Friday with the redeclaration of war against my corporation. The story behind the war is a little mixed up to me still. My Ceo alt received an eve-mail from the leader (back when the war first started) of this Merc corp that stated he had been attacked (which is silly as I can not attack anyone who doesnĘt shoot me first, and of course he tooled my Incusus in his Scorp!) Now at the beginning of this war I spoke to him on my main and he said he had been paid by a mining corp for a three week war. Which is also silly, who would pay for three weeks of war for a lost retriever? Seems like a very very VERY large waste of ISK to me. But anyway their story aside, I am still at war.
So far in my war has consisted of talking to them in local while I happily sit in a station and they sit outside waiting for me to undock. Sometimes I do undock and warp away before they lock or I just redock basically just to be annoying. However very late Saturday night (early mourning really Eve time) we turned that around just a bit. I sat down in front of my computer to see that one of my corp mates was being harassed by a Scorpion owned by the leader of the merc corp. With in 10 min me and my mates rallied a force of 3 Drakes and 1 Merlin (tackler) and chased them out of our home! Then we camped them in Jita for a while, great fun lots of silly conversations until my mates had to log and we abandoned them camp.
Sunday my corp mates flipped a can and got bored of not getting attacked so they headed off to find a more militaristic care bear. I had just logged on and was on my way to meet up with them when what do I find at the gate but a pretty flashing red retriever on auto pilot! POP! Woot! Loot!
Another skirmish was caused by two of my corp mates stealing and flipping a can and getting into a fire fight, they took down a frig or two and I warped in just in time to miss the actionąor so I thought. I warp to the can and sit by it idly wondering where my mates are doing battle if not here by the can, when a Tristan warps in from the same corp they had been fighting. I shrug doubting he is dumb enough to steal from the can with me sitting on top of it, of course I am wrong, he steals I lock and open up. Seconds latter I am looting his wrecką2 Arbalest Cruise launchers and an Advanced cloak IIą..!!!???!!! It took me until I opened up my kill board latter that night to realize what I had done! Scratch one Nemesis for Darcy!
Some other time during the weekend (my times are all screwed up I donno what happened when!) I flipped a can of a retriever and he just warped off so I shrugged and moved on. Flew through a few belts with no success and came back. Sat by the can while I chatted with my corp mates untiląyellow flashy lights! Uh-oh I am being locked! What is it!? Raven! 60km away, no way I can fight (not that I would win)ą ok gotta get right on top of itą RED FLASHY missiles on the way! I click look at on the Raven, book mark an asteroid right next to it. Missiles still coming!! I hit warp, shop aligns! BAM! Shields to half! Ship starts to warp! BAM shields gone! Warping! Few ok out of warpątime to fight! Shields 10% warping in! I coming out of warp! Guns ready! Out of warp right next to a Raven!...Wreck! And about 30 CONCORD ships. Now I honestly wish I could post on my kill board all the things I have GOTTEN killed!
CONCORDED because of me
3 Caracals 2 Drakes 1 Raven
ThatĘs nearly 200 mil in ISK (ish)
In closingą Carebears need to learn agg rules. But I hope they donĘt so I can keep getting the loots!!

Nice job!
The raven being Concordokkend!!! is a fantastic touch. I would have stuck it at the top, but at the end was just as effective.
Sounds like you had a great time this weekend! Even got to a T2 Cloaker... very very nice.

Edited by: Failexer on 05/03/2007 19:53:43 Edited by: Failexer on 05/03/2007 19:52:01 I was mining with my Vex when Darcy came and grabbed my Can.. (Couple of days ago, I think I was mentioned in one of the posts)
I totally overreacted and used my 4 medium drones to try and defend my honor (Outfitted with 4 Mining Lasers, and an afterburner)..Lucky for me I warped away before I was completely obliterated.
Looking back on it now, 6k Pyro probally wasn't worth freaking out over...But I'm still a noob at heart (And in character as well)
Anyways, finding out you had a thread made me laugh, so I felt the need to post. Have fun :P

Haha!
I have an old character with 4 mil skillpoints that im planning on deleteing (year old character with only 4mil points is kind of gimp - this one actualy), but after reading all of this i think that instead of doing that it will be my crappy pirate alt. Its got all the required fitting/jamming skills already trained up - theres no sense just sitting around doing nothing while my new char gets those learning skills up when i could be having fun with that =D

yeah that is tough... fitting 2 scramms (the 2 point ones) should be enough sometimes, but you may have to fit 3 if you are expecting indys to come into play.. or have a partner and you both go 2 and 2. An Iteron V only has 5 low slots I think... I could be wrong though... but still. if they have warp stabs, nothing you can do about it solo.

Trying stuff out, I really enjoy the Catty. Works quite well (t2 rails are a blast!...literally!) Lots and lots more dps and really good for small gangs. As for the cruiser I still am working on the skills to fit it how I want but also a great small gang ship. I have begun to spend more ISK on the pirating because well...its awesome!!! So what if I lose 1 mil or 10! As long as I had fun doing it!!! In reality due to loot and ore theft I am actually making money. (the can of 40 white glaze the other night really helped there, along with the 4 arbalest cruise launchers I have looted)

I thought about that... just loot what I bait with and loot the parts off the ships.. but I just don't have a hauler, or anything with decent cargo hold capacity... maybe I'll train a cruiser and loot with that...I might as well bait with one too..

I...have alts! Oh and corp mates that do it too, but usually when they come to do the boring hauling I let them keep all the ore.

Just thought I would share the highlight of a looong day home sick with you folks. This came shortly after we killed our second 'Hero' protecting the miners of a dead end system of our home region. He was in an Enyo, taken out by four of us. The first was in a Caracal taken out by three of us.
Local chat: "[22:51:59] XXX > anyone having problems with DKI ore thiefs? [22:55:53] YYY > no problem, ty [22:56:52] ZZZ > DKI? [22:57:01] XXX > darkness inc [22:57:19] ZZZ > ahhh well nope havent even herd of them before [22:58:45] YYY > if you jetcan mine, they have been coming by and stealing the ore and putting it in their own can hoping to provoke you into 1) stealing it back so they can kill you, or 2) outright attacing them so they can kill you [22:59:09] ZzZz > names? [22:59:22] YYY > Darcy Killar is one [22:59:39] YYY > northbridge was another [22:59:56] ZZZ > ahh well i havent seen anyone like that in this space yet.... [23:00:10] MMM > the sad thing is, they dont do it on their own [23:00:18] MMM > They where here a few hours earlier - well known 'griefers' or 'ore theives' just gotta keep a heads up and a hauler. [23:01:09] ZZZ > ill make sure i keep an eye out for them"
I believe the high point would be: well known 'griefers' or 'ore theives'
Thats right! We are well known!! Probably because we are growing rapidly! (10 members over the last week! hard to keep track! hehe)
Anyway a new post comming soon, hopefully before the weekend, possibly after! G'night all!

greetings darcy.
I had a blast reading your topic and though... maybe I should give it a try? I have very bad combat skills and have never tried being a pirate, all I do is mine and haul (yup the boring stuff).
So this is my first time. I got an incursus, fitted it with some railguns, cap recharge, warp disruptor, and armor repairer and started my very first hunting trip. It took hours to even find anyone, I warped belt to belt.. nothing and finally found one miner, then I got exited. I locked him, took about 20k of his omber to my can and pop it. He went nuts and I was sure he was going to lock and engage with his drones, but nah. He didnt and he just warped out and logged off I guess. Then I was flying all over 0.0 and got killed by a gatecamp. That was my first day and the result was one loss. Bought few incursus more and will continue my hunting today. It was a very fun experience for me and I learned alot.
see ya'll.

Hey Thelzias
I would suggest using the scanner, saves you a lot of time. I warp to a planet, scan the belts and then narrow down or move on. Not much you can do about gatecamps besides warping off fast.

Well, Thelzias, you could listen to NorthĘs idea about the scanner but thatĘs all technical and smart and stuff. I warp to every damn belt! Bookmark cans and warp away, then warp right back on top of them and flip em! We have also discovered that leaving your own cans around is a good way to randomly find someone flashy red to the whole corp hanging out in a belt mining! Or to get someone trying to be a hero protecting the defenseless miners. I like heroĘs they put up a better fight and look better on the kill board!
Last night as mentioned earlier was our first gank ever! After disturbing a bunch of miners with no real combat someone in local says: ōI am going to agg on them and see how good they are!ö This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside (you know? Like I said before, a recently eaten carebear) We track him down and find him in a Caracal. Using agg rules to our advantage I wait until my corp mates are almost out of warp to scram him. Three of us all in t1 frigs, took him down in seconds he took my armor tanked Tristan toą75% shield (now when I say armor tanked I really just mean three 100mm plates) One of my corp mates, whoĘs first act of piracy received a threatening hate mail about not taking his stuffąwhich was long since in our cargo holds when the mail arrived. First gank!!
Second gank! Less then an hour latter I had just recruited two more people, both in assault frigs, and as I am talking to them North starts yelling about a 2003 player that is aged on us and not to steal anything from him! Run! Orąsomething, I of course having no agg timer find this 2003 player in an Enyo and start to orbit him, North who apparently had no agg timer either follows. A few seconds latter my new recruits in their assult frigs drop out of warp and I hit my scramer and open up! With four of us he put up a good fight and nearly got me to structure! Kodos to this guy for giving me and my corp one of the fights I am most proud of! (and for the great T2 loot you dropped!) Also a big thanks to all my new recruits with whom I would never have been able to do any of it!
Me and North also learned that taking on a Ferox with a Catalyst and a Rifter is a bad ideaąwe got him toąmaybe 90% shield before he took us both out. Also I discovered 0.0 gate scouting should not be done in a Vexor, and I met my first carrier, however he was friendly so I still have yet to find one to shoot at. (friendly as in he recruited my only director to a 0.0 alliance and I was just seeing him off, as he is a RL friend of mine) So in closing:
Good luck in the war Groch! Have fun in your big ships, IĘll stick to my frigs and dessys and the occasional cruiser!

There I was... knee deep in.. errr. wait, wrong setting. :D
I logged in for about a 20 minute roundabout. I was warping to all the belts and I saw a miner using a can. The miner was in a merlin, so I was like, meh, why not.
Keep in mind I am in a Kestrel and only a week old :P
I am pretty excited as it is rare to find a miner using cans, be it a secure can or not. So I just hit my burner and travel 20km to him hehe.
He doesn't do anything. When I get there and drop my can, he warps off... I think,, he is going to get in a bigger ship (he was in a corp) or bring friends. I take his full giant secure container contents and drop it all in my can. I warp out, he warps in almost immediately.He is in a badger... I am thinking, crap.. I have the 1 point scrammer, and he probably has stabs.
I warp back, he is gone.. contents are gone.. oh well. I BM the can and warp off. He convos me.
The guy was very very nice. He was pretty much saying, let's stop the ore swapping (long story is I swapped the ore from his can to mine twice heh) and just get on with our lives. I say sure, cause I think he is coming back around in something that can kill a T1 frigate.
Nope, I warp back to the can and there he is, in his hauler... I lock on (he is still flashing red) and scramm him and let loose with my rockets. The ebil rockets (well T2 next week heh). He gets to 3/4 shields and sets off the self destruct. I am thinking, crap, I really want to blow this up. I am not going to make it.
40 seconds later, shield drops (he had a booster running) and armor right after that. When I got the hull halfway down, I had to reload 160 rockets spent.. I think he might have expecting me to ransom him or something, but I was just reloading my weapons, then blew him up hehe.
I snatched up some loot, and warped and docked as I had RL things to attend to.
I posted my killmails up on battleclinic, so far I am 2-0 :D

Originally by: Darcy Killar One of my corp mates, whoĘs first act of piracy received a threatening hate mail
My first act of piracy was a total blast Thanks so much to Darcy and my new corp.
I'm sitting at a planet waiting for Darcy to give the word to warp in. I'm all calm/cool thinking "Ya this is going to be fun."
I get the word from Darcy to warp in and I'm OMW!! Drop out of warp and the red flashy is there, but wtf has happened to my hands? They're shaking!!
I seem to have lost my fine motor skills and my heart in pounding through my ribs. I have trouble mousing onto the target in overview, but manage to ctrl-click for a target lock, then hit the "approach" icon as my skills are so crappy that I need to be close to hit anything.
In range, I let the rockets fly and am satisfied to see his shields begin to crumple under the attack of me and my mates.
Suddenly, I realize that I'm still in approach mode and soon I'm bumping the target. I claim it is an "anti-align" tactic, but it's really because I'm so scattered with the "intensity" of the situation that I've forgotten to stop or orbit properly.
A blinding explosion soon fills my screen, and in the warm glow of our victim's demise, I feel a huge grin tight on my face. A pirate, I now am.
Yarrr! (I wish I had remembered to say that in local. Oh well. Next time)

Thanks for the offer Darcy, but I am just a noob.

I'll see what tricks I can pull from my 4th point of contact first before I contact you and if I can get a few more kills,,, then I think I'll be ready.
