Don't usually like posting to the forums but after having thought about my options I feel that I have no choice but to pursue this matter further.
Without boring everybody I have recently come back to the game with a 60 day email pass. Excited about playing a game I honestly had forgotten about, the lure of the new features and a new graphix package on my home system I was lured in.
But I don't feel like playing any more.
After hanging around in the last place I docked many, many years ago I found that my corp and my friends had largely disbanded, no longer were we in the Black Legions alliance that we were in previously. I was very much on my own. I got talking to some swell guys in local and we discussed some new fittings and playing styles.
I decided I was goiing to take the route of the Caldari again and the Drake would be my weapon of choice. But drat, no isk but for a few million in the corp wallets. It was coming up to my birthday and my gran was round and she gave me a gift, so me beeing a video game freak decided to visit the shattered crystal site and buy a game time for selling on the market. I could now afford my drakes and all was good.
I now had a fleet of drakes ready to explore this wild new game. I was nervously excited as I undocked in my new drake. After attacking somebody on the station I docked as I realised this guy was not reading from the same hymn book. He camped me in station for two hours, each time trying to destroy my ship. In the ned I logged out the computer and retired for the evening.
This had soured my taste a little but I was determined to get the better and enjoy my game. The next day we managed to undock in peace and I set about my adventure. And this is where I feel let down by the game. My game experience was about to get bad and I was about to experience the very reason I think I left the game in the first place all them years ago.
I know people will call me stupid but I visited a low security system off of my main navigation route, I was shooting the local pirate spawns and noticed more and more people in local. They didn't interfere and each time they waited and left I just went to the station and waited them out. I felt good, more confidence as I engaged more and more pirates. I had heard before about pirates but my drake was handling them better than I imagined.
I was minding my own businness when another ship came into the belt and I cursed and screamed as I thought this could be trouble but I managed to warp off and I put it down to good luck that he found me. I was about to leave after collecting some bounties when I made the foolish decision of one more bounty. One more buck for the end of the day pay package.
This time I wasn't so lucky. This idiot had me. I could not escape, somehow he had me and was not letting go. I panicked. I shot some at him but he had a much better ship than me and in the end I watched as my beloved first drake was downed in front of me. Right at this point the game sucked. Some ******* had his day, I vowed at that moment to have mine. I chased him down, he would not accept an invite to chat so I found him hiding. I told them I would have my revenge.
And now here I am. I have drakes. I need to know how I can get these guys who try to ruin my gaming experience, take my own GRANDMOTHER'S cash and blow it up in the name of a laugh as I'm sure these toolheads think it is. How can I extract my revenge? I am willing to pay for the right advice. Willing to kick along in hunting squads. Need to know, cos right now I'm an angry guy. Literally seething at the unwanted loss of my drake. The first loss in my fleet.
Help me crime and punishers, you are my only hope.

Welcome BACK to eve!
I suggest you start finishing the tutorial as you'll get a few nice ships and skillbooks you can use. After that I suggest you try The Blood-Stained Stars epic arc (the final boss can be though). After that I suggest you join R vs. B if you want to learn PvP or continue your way upward towards Level 4 missions.
This is what ships you should use for missions: level 1 missions: frigate/destroyers. level 2 missions: cruisers. level 3 missions battlecruisers. level 4 missions battleship.
Don't rush it though! It can take a few months before you get the propper skills to fly and use a battleship!
eve-survival is a very nice site that can help you with missions and triggers (triggers are the ship that will spawn the next wave when destoryed).
Eve university is also a nice corp to join while learning the ropes!
Have fun and please don't use more of your dear grandmother's money to buy PLEXes! I strongly doubt that is what she'd want.
EDIT: And for the answer to your question about revenge, try this.
Now can I haz iskies? |

Losing a Drake in a belt in lowsec isn't even piracy. tbh, that pirate probably thought you were there for a gudfite. That's where the lowsec pirates hang out when they're looking for fights, after all.
It's like you went to a Sublime concert and complained of second-hand smoke.
HTFU means harden the **** up.
Maybe this game isn't for you. |

TBH just red flag the guy, and move on. Revenge could be yours one day, but for now, let it be. Stay out of low sec and learn more. |

a little bit?? Op needs a hella lot smarter fit.
To op, did you even search or look around fits for drake? Your fit is very poor either for pve or pvp. I'd suggest trying pvp in a smaller/less expensive ships, but if u like drakes then so be it. But do check fits in battle clinic next time. You don't have to follow them, but it gives a nice framework for you to work with.
And the pirates you heard about are not the same as what you were killing in low sec. |

And the voice says something like "You will roam the heavens, commanding the most powerful machines ever built." as a rifter drifts by.
Edit: oh, advice, OP was asking for advice. Use a catalyst. Apparently you can kill a rifter with them. Then start another thread about it. Post with your monkey. |

Omg, the fit! My eyes! My frackin' eyes!
Seriously man, you need to to seriously research some fits for the Drake. Everything on this fit was beyond terrible. Glad you got blown up. This crap is an abomination! |

I'll say it again just to make sure you got the message: HTFU.
Basically, knowledge is power in this game. If you fail or neglect to make yourself knowledgeable about where you are going, how to navigate and operate safely in low sec, how to properly fit your ship, how to kill a rifter (or at least disengage from one), how to use your directional scanner, and so many other things, then no amount of help from us will ever be enough.
Do some research, reading, watch fraps videos - especially before leaving high sec if you aren't experienced flying in low or null. Sig tanking is the new black |

This was a fun read. If you can not accept the loss of your ship the moment you undock then eve is not the game for you. You must adapt or die. But going out into lowsec is a herp move. Your asking to lose your ship. In highsec at least you have some protection. |

You made multiple mistakes when you came back to EVE after a long time. So I am not even going there... Grow up, sell your tears to some pirate, buy a new drake or even a titan for it (cuz your tears seem worth a lot of isks). Next time you see him .... kill him. That easy, part of the game ! My resists to bad posts are 78-89-83-90 ....... The metal head plate increased it by 5%.

My advise ;
1. "Let him be lad, let him be."
Also
2. "Forgiveness starts here, too. Forgiveness liberates the soul. It removes fear. That is why it is such a powerful weapon" |

Lowsec is the most dangerous place in eve. Don't go there if you are not ready to fight players.
Also, never forget the first rule of eve: Never fly anything you can't afford to lose.
This doesn't mean you have more drakes, this means if you are gonna get mad about loosing it, don't even undock in it. Sit in station looking at your shiny, and when you do undock, use a ship you don't care about loosing.
Oh, and by posting to Crime and Punishment, you just made yourself a target, even in highsec, because you have poured such tasty tears on the ever fertile soil of grief. Inappropriate signature removed, CCP Phantom. |

you got killed by Miura Bull... I'm not entirely sure you understant that honor. He is a writer for http://brutorbullfighter.blogspot.com/ ... some great reads on that page. When I see that guy in local .. i always give him a o/ . That dude is quality.
He is a good writer and a awesome pvper.
But something fishy about all this I can't quite put my finger on... Based on the type of story and how long it was about a single drake loss... and how well its written... could it be the same OP who is a contributor to the blog... I wouldn't go so far to say it Miura Bull himself, but one of his dark smelly rifter writers may have a hand in this.
The plot thickens.. /popcorn. |

Think I posted in the wrong section? Im not trying to troll, far from it. My fit wasn't brilliant I can see that now, to be honest I was fitting up mainly from spare modules and what little there was on the market. I actually read all the equipment descriptions and thought that I had a decent fit at the time. Yes, yes, I know.
Thanks for the help to those who have helped. |
