Good fights are great. Me, as a newbee to EVE, had just one of those tonight. I was busy hunting a duo of ratting frigates that had been eluding me several times.
Docked, grabbed a sensor booster and ditched my web since I felt I could pop em both without it. I used my MWD numerous times trying to keep up with them (bastards still managed to escape my scrams - nerf stabs ) and my cap was at 50% so I decided to head for a nearby planet so I could keep an eye on them wherever they would run to. There, whilst recharging my cap, I got jumped by a Rifter and a Punisher, later followed by a Ishtar.
Since I had no web, the frigs were eating me slowly and were making my hits far from perfect, even more so for being older by months in game terms thus having far better skill for piracy and manouvring than me. The fight was great, I managed to stay alive long, but I still popped in the end - as I expected. Afterwards I got convoed and congratulated by these assailants for a good fight and - to my surprise - they refunded my Thorax.
To Flyit and Ohji - respect, this is exactly what makes EVE wonderful, no matter what you lose or win. No smack, just good aftermath and friendly convoes.
This game rocks.

Defeats the point of piracy when you pay the target to let you blow him up IMO.

Frigates? Do you mean Ishkur instead of Ishtar? Ishkur = Assault frig Ishtar = Heavy Assault Cruiser ___________

No I meant Ishtar - the Vexor type ship. I initially chased 2 frigates - Tristans and later I got attacked by a Punisher and Rifter, followed by an Ishtar.
I wrote that clearly in the original post??

Edited by: Artemis Dragmire on 16/09/2007 08:36:51 Great fights are awesome.
I had an excellent one with my roomate (corpmate of mine ingame) and several Veto members. We managed to pop one of their ships (A Vigilant), and eventually went down ourselves, but it was an awesome fight, and even though we lost a myrm (my ship) and a deimos (friend's ship) to overwhelming odds in the end, it was still great.
(EDIT: Overwhelming odds being a command ship, crow, vaga, the vigilant we blew up, and a caldari recon ship, lol)
Then I had another fun one the other day where we were actually on the winning side. A couple red-flashies were spotted by an alliance mate and he gave chase in his raven. We had just finished a miniature mining op (with most of us combat people sitting around looking bored) so we were all in gang together.
The two that we attacked were in a Harbinger and a Myrmidon, and when the raven engaged he initially tanked them outside of a stargate for a little while, until the rest of us showed up (3 or 4 people, bit of overkill but meh, we were bored)
In any case they started de-aggressing and hopping between the two systems. Eventually I decided to stay on one side and web whichever came through the next time they were chased in my myrm, and then attempt to hold them there until the other corpmates could arrive.
Just before the guy jumped through a Veto member warped in on my position outside the gate in a Thorax, but I locked him/her and they quickly warped away.
Then the gate activated and my target (the Harbinger) came through. I locked him down and started chipping away at him. Eventually his friend in the myrmidon joined him, as did our pilots in a raven, vagabond, another myrm, and a drake came back through the gate. (Yeah sorry about the overkill, like I said, we were bored)
Anyways to cut a long story short, they did manage to kill my ship, as I forgot to lock down and kill the Ogre II's of the other myrmidon, and Ogre II's hurt.
But it was a great fight nonetheless, probably less fun for the people we killed, but we did get a "good fight" out of them.
The first fight I mentioned against Veto still remains my personal favorite PVP fight that I have been involved in, even though I lost.

Nice to see someone share a GF-story, that was the reason I posted this thread - to hear from others what they experienced (instead of comments about post details )

hey hey, Ohji here =). a friend of mine pointed this post out to me...and i've gotta be honest you should only really be giving your respect to Flyit because i had nothing to do with the refund of your ship =p. on a different note, i'd like to say "good fight" again...considering your age, you gave me quite a scare getting me so close to structure: props for that. anyway, fly safe(ly) and perhaps i'll see you again sometime =D.

Hi Ohji, nice to see you place a comment here. Should we meet next time, ill be fitted more suitably. No sensor booster, but a named webber so you can profit less from that speed tank. Im also working on upgrading my tank and drone skill, so be ready for a more intense struggle than before.
Respect to you and Flyit - cheers!
