(Sorry for the bad English, not a native speaker)
My Stiletto got finally delivered. I equipped it and went out to insecure space. I wanted to test the ship and the setup.
One solar system before my destination I noticed a pilot. The global database gave me some basic information about this pilot, it was male Serbiestor called Cazaril from the STK Scientific corp, a Xetic alliance mega corp. He seemed to be a junior memeber of the corp.
I took a look at the fine sensor systems of my Stiletto. There were two ships in scanner range, one Iteron Mark IV and one Tempest. The Tempest has been in the scanner results before and I didn't bother about it, I assumed that Carazil would be in the Iteron Mark IV.
An industrial class ship. Alone. In deep space. With no CONCORD and sentry guns protecting it.
Adrenaline went through my veins. My natural reflexes and the routine told me to check the global map. I had to make sure from what direction the vessel came. Regarding to the map it came from south. There were two gates in the solar system, I headed for the northern one.
I was there short after him. He was close to the jump gate, closer than I'd like to have him, so I decided to not enage. I activated my microwarp drive and outran him easily. The long training in navigation techniques and the new tech level 2 microwarp drive finally paid off. I took a close look at the ship while passing him at 4km per second. He seemed to be unarmed. And he seemed to not bother about my appearance.
I decided to wait.
He jumped through the gate. I followed immidiatly. I saw him uncloaking, hit my microwarp drive again, direction: Iteron Mark IV. I tried to lock him. I didn't succeed, he warped off to the next jump gate on his route.
I was in rage. First I blamed my targeting computer, but then I realized how fast the Iteron Mark IV aligned into warp. Way too fast for an industrial class ship. Was it me? Are my reflexes becoming weaker as I become older? I decided to ingore my doubts, programmed my navigation computer for the same jump gate as the Iteron Mark IV went to and activated warp navigation.
While being in warp I made a quick calculation. I knew that my Stiletto was traveling faster than his Iteron Mark IV in warp. So even if he warped away before me, chances were good to catch up. What if he got some instant jump book marks from his cartographer?
There was no time to give me this answer. I was coming out of warp. Right behind him. Jackpot!
I decided to orbit the vessel at 500m, the optimal weapon range of my 150mm Light Carbine Repeating Cannons, loaded with deadly EMP S ammo. I activated my Fleeting Proplusion Inhibitor I and my Faint Epsilon Warp Prohibitor I. Using the guns and the Small Plasma Smartbomb II it took my Stiletto around 90 seconds to destory the vessel. I made a mental note to get me better guns and to work on my gunnery techniques. The pilot was not using any offensive or defensive modules at all. That suprised me a bit.
While the ship has been exploding the escape pod launched. The targeting computer of the Stiletto was fast. I took me a breath to lock up the escape pod and dispatch it. The result was a male Serbiestor in space. Deeply frozen.
Frustration. I didn't see any wrackage of the ship or parts of the cargo around my vessel. I decided to use my scanner, entered 10 km scan range and there it was: a cargo container and a frozen corpse. I decided to approach the cargo container and kept an eye open on the map/solar system scanners, just in case. I checked the content of the floating cargo container.
I was speechless.
What I saw was 22099 Megacyte, 23627 Zydrine and some modules.
I decided to haul the minerals and modules in a few runs to a safe spot in the same solar system and contacted a corp buddy of mine to bring a fast Industrial class ship to my position. I asked him also to make sure to use instant jump bookmarks, I knew that Corp 1 has used a cartographer for the area I was in.
Some hours later I was around 235 million ISK richer.
I contacted my dealer and ordered an Improved Cloaking Device II.

Very cool, but why waste it on a cloaking device?
It's not a waste for me. Suits my style of game play very well.

Sally can, however, besmirch STK's name by making it seem like we have inexperienced pilots carting a quarter of a billion Isk worth of minerals unattended thru 0.0 space.
That's exactly what happened. It was a jackpot.
The minerals were sold for around 205m ISK + some ISK from TL2 modules the cargo container was filled with.
Next time I will do a screenshot of the loot an indy drops.

was it you who i bumped into near assah? im sure it was but definately boing was there in a raven and i think 2 inters. nice fight btw. hope the 3 of you got home safe in your pods.
LOL.
Now now...
Before I start to insult you personally I'll just try to bring some things back to your attention:
- This thread is about something different. So you are off topic.
- You destroyed two Interceptors with buggy heavy drones. Big deal.
- Your corp of miners disbanded once when we declared war on it. You confirmed that you are a bunch of noobs in PvP in a conversation with me and that you the all mighty can not protect them all by yourself against us.
- We didn't need to brag on the forums as we have been blowing the **** out you and your corp mates.
Here the insult:
- Pod your dumb ass later.
I said good fight to you, yeah. But I am reverting it. You do not deserve any respect.

Well done Sally and I look forward to STK revenge.
Your mining lasers will be scary
lol Sally has already been pod killed once since the incedent by an STK pilot.
When, where, by whom? What ship type lost? Battle log? Screen shot?
We are starting to take care of your second class targets and cannon fodder called XIF by declaring wars on some of the corps right now.
Instead of taking it like a man you come to here and lie.

So someone got careless and you got his cargo. Well, he should have been more careful.
Just one question. You said you were alone in local with him and you'd already blown up his ship and got the loot.
Why the podding then? Couldn't be because you enjoy playing a psychopath, could it?
Maybe his next clone will be smarter. It was a favor I did to him.
