A nightmare turns into an opportunity

     Unfortunately after my moment of strategical genus, I hit a rough patch. We were in the middle of a war, and it was a brutal one too. T3 cruisers where everywhere.The war had minutes left. I was excited because I was going to grab my thorax and haul it to low sec where we were moving to again. With everything I owned except my thorax(I didn't own much), I jumped 3 systems over and was greeted by flashing reds. A legion, tengu, and brutix were camping a gate. Iteron Mark III

     My next bad incident happened down in low sec. Two guys were greifing a friendly corp. I thought it was cool and I decided to sit a fast out. The thing I didn't notice was that the fast out was right next to a planet. I was watching for a while and then a heavy interdictor and a command ship landed on me. I  only lost a little Vexor, but I wasn't happy. Vexor

     Finding low sec useless for a corp of noobs, we moved down to a high sec island. I lost a thorax after trying low sec ratting. I didn't notice when a guy traded his jaguar for a stabber fleet issue. Anyways, in the process of moving in, goshee decided to fly an orca through active low sec. We all told him to wait a couple minutes so we could come and help. His impatience took over and he jumped through. When the pirates saw an orca on scan,    local spiked in the surrounding systems. A pirate had tipped off his corp of the defenseless orca. Over the next couple of minutes, my ears were raped over eve voice as goshee watched his orca turn into a bright blue ball of flames.

     After laughing off mic, I regained composure and decided to look for the killers. A corp in the rookies designated for protection of noobs, CRC, was in charged of the op. Our fleet consisted of an array of ships. From what I can recall, a tengu, thorax, brutix, two rifters, an unknown battleship, and two more unknown ships. I was the thorax pilot. We flew through the low sec pipe to find the the target system clear of the killers. We warped to a station hoping to salvage the trip. As we watched the station. A dominix and jaguar undocked, and then it was a staring match. All of the sudden, the tengu pilot engaged. We told him not to but he was scared when the domi targeted him. Then chaos broke loose. The rifters decided to engage and were popped by gate guns. I was somewhat holding up but I couldn't hold for too long. We deagressed and headed home. I was disappointed with the way things worked out, but the positive outcome was that I meet the CRC guys.

The Beginning of a Capsuleer

    I wasn't always the pilot I am today. Before EVE, I was yet another random face in an FPS. I was givin a 21 day free trial from a friend. Entering the vast reaches of space, I immediatly was frustrated. The tutorials wern't helping at all. I was about ready to rage quit the very complex game.

      Upon spamming rookie help, I was greeted with an invite to a chat channel. I bought a shuttle and booked my way 30 jumps to a certain high sec system. Upon arriving, I jumped into a rookie ship and started orbiting an infamous character named Goshee. Within minutes he suggested I allow him to blow me up.I give the go ahead and I get one shooted by a golem. I was given 4 Million for my troubles.

      My next experience of pvp involved a war dec, a hurricane, and low sec. Rookie empire was a war dec magnet. Every other week was a new war dec. Unfortunatly we were given the orders to move 25 jumps away in low sec.

      We dropped in with an array of ships. Many rookies were given Griffens. My Griffen was losely fitted, and I wasn't ready to fight, but we undocked anyways. Multiple ships pointed the hurricane and started bumping it. Within seconds, the Hurricane was dropped allowing me to only pull off one rocket. Hurricane

     We spent a little time down in Minmitar space and then booked it back to our home in Caldari space. Upon arriving, we found the target system dead. There were no reds in system. I had just dropped corp since I was in dessperate need of a jump clone.

     A group of Corp mates decided to run some missions. Suddenly about 3 reds jumped in system. 2 docked up, and the third, a dominix, decided to sit on station. My corp mates continued to run missions as the domi sat.

     After about 30 minutes, I was convinced that the domi was afk. I was talking to my corp mates in voice and told them I had an idea. I immediatly undocked and orbited him at 50m in a shuttle. The domi immediatly noticed me and locked. I started laughing as I knew he wouldn't dare shoot and get Concorded.

     Then the fleet warped to me. Within seconds he was in half armor. Unfortunatly we couldn't get a good bump on him. He docked up, but we showed the war targets we weren't a force to underestimate.
