The Star Date: Um, Sometime yesterday?
The Place: Some 0.4 Minmatar system that started with a ôFö Fhwugads? I donÆt remember. We were more worried about those tricksy billboards than to pay too close of attention to the system name.
The Partners in Crime: Myself, in a fearsome Griffin loaded to the gills with missles and jamming equipment. My friends, allies, and corpmates Saporro Bee & Leyxa (weÆre the army of three!) in a Rupture and a Kestrel, respectively.
The Opponents: I donÆt remember their names, but they were better than us. Nasty minerses!
It was our first time to fight anything that wasnÆt AI controlled and wasnÆt a hunk of Veldspar. We decided we werenÆt going to be anti-pirate, and we werenÆt going to be pirates, but the restless blood in our veins demanded we find someone to brawl. Anyone. No job too small. However, in this case it turned out to be the contrary.
We split up to scout the system. Leyxa (Lex) found two contacts in mid-range belt. We formed up in a neutral location, and like winged birds of fury we descended upon our unsuspecting foes. Unfortunately, upon closer examination we realized we were fighting a Dominix and a Tempest class battleships. Now, considering that the three of us combined didnÆt equal the tonnage of one of our opponents, and we had never shot anyone with a brain before, the obvious option should be apparent to anyone reading this tale.
Unfortunately we didnÆt consider it until later, when I was riding around in a grapefruit.
I punched the afterburners on my Griffin like a Mongoose approaching the cobra. Apparently they hadnÆt noticed us yet, or maybe they were stupefied by our courage, like a lion watching the charge of three slightly malnourished gazelles. I weaved left and right, avoiding the nasty catch of the mining drones of the Dominix as they whistled by my*****pit. I locked my jammers and let loose the fury of my DUAL! Light missile launchers, and beheld in grim satisfaction as they spelled their flashes of doom across the cosmos. My comrades also let loose, and we cheered in awesome revelry as at LEAST 10% of the DominixÆs shield was chipped away. Closer and closer I ordered my instruments.. I began a tight spiral around the now stricken (well, at least annoyed) Dominix.. going in at a death-defying 5000 meters. Only Barnum & BaileyÆs finest have known the closeness to destruction that I was at that point. Again and again I released my wicked needles of Bloodclaw doom.. pounding the frustratingly stubborn shields of the eggplant-like Dominix.
Then the mining drones disappeared. Apparently theyÆd noticed us. Oh yes! They have felt our righteous sting! Just then though, an angry cloud of Hammerhead drones poured forth from parts unknown, but little did they know that I came prepared! I smirked to myself as I punched the panel for my smartbombs. The crippled Hammerheads went somewhere else.. probably to DennyÆs to get some Moons over My Hammy, and talk about their defeats.
By now the Dominix showed at least 25% damage. Our tenacity had paid off! But I heard the roar of the TempestÆs might engines as she came about, and I beheld the face of terror.
WHOOSH!!
IÆm not sure what a Havoc missle is, but it hurts. I think it probably was as big as my poor Griffin as it streaked across the galaxy at me. So what can I say.. my morale broke.. in my best Admiral Ackbar, I screamed at my screen, ôITÆS A TRAAAP!!ö
I swung around, limping at 75% hull integrity. Desperately I picked a warp target.. until I heard the tell-tale WHOOSH as Havoc #2 hit home. My ravaged Griffin went to warp, but I didnÆt. Grapefruit life pod city.. I considered the damage a life pod angrily pounding itself into a Tempest would do, but I decided weÆd ravaged these poor miners enough, and I warped to the gate.
All-in-All, we considered it a mighty victory. We have met the enemy, and they are ours!! Well.. sort of. At least we persuaded the Dominix to warp away, we got away with our Rupture and Kestrel, and I killed a drone or two.
At least they didnÆt blow up my grapefruit.

Tell my tale to those who ask.
Tell it truly - the ill deeds, along with the good - and let me be judged accordingly.
If this world was supposed to be friendly
CCP wouldnt have wasted time paying the devs to code so many weapons |

I can't tell if you were fool-hearty or just brave... Na, I can tell it was "fool-hearty"...
You got lucky that the Dom didn't have heavy drones and that the Tempest didn't have Cruise missiles or Torpedos cuz either would have meant the doom of all 3 of you.
On the other hand... your account highlights just why I would always shoot any players who come within 30 km of me when I am in low sec space regardless of the "real" intent - but then this is why I have -2.2 sec rating now isn't it ?!? - LOL |

Unlike naming your character after a Pirates of the Caribbean character, it was original and nonfiction.
