-- (Terry Pratchett, Lords and Ladies)
Five Rifters and a Kestrel prowling around Eifer, this can not stand, this is my home, my hunting ground and interlopers are not tolerated. Well this may be a bit of an exaggeration as I rather like visitors but you know me, delusions of grandeur et al.
I started tracking the raiding party and soon I got a bead on them, warping in I was greeted by all five of them, Asssassin X bowling in with his Thorax, they bailed like skittles but one got stuck on the end of Asss' and my guns, I quickly started tracking the survivors of the initial attack, soon to find them at a planet, in I went, heavily outnumbered but up for a fight. I landed right on top of them and proceeded to lock them all up, one , two , three Rifters exploded and it was only the Kestrel left as the most experienced Rifter pilot threw valour into the wind and bolted. The Kestrel explodes, the grin on my face expands. Good fight lads.
...
There is a new shiny in my hangar and she was unveiled much to the chagrin of a Hurricane pilot who had the misfortune of being spotted travelling towards Ingunn, he was caught and roasted on the Gultraten gate. In all honesty he deserved to die for the sacrilege he carried out on that poor Hurricane.
So without further adue, I give you "Nanny Ogg"
Nanny Ogg would later see action in the BBQing of a Raven who was spotted by Mean Corp pilots on its way through Eifer, caught on the Eifer gate in Gusandall it melted under the fire of Nanny's Mega Pulse IIs. Props to Sarvic for the tackle and Jorge for the assist.
An old friend of mine was brought out of the corp hangar for a rather tasty treat, Keira was doing some business runs between Gusandall and highsec when she spotted a Hulk exhumer on it's way to Gus, my Broadsword would be ideal for this task as it's beastly tank and infinite interdiction point meaning the prey would not be long for this universe. HULK SMASHED.
...
Then it was back to some hot Rifter action. My covops friend spotted a Rifter in Gus, in the direction of the 2/10 plex, I quickly boarded the latest iteration of my favourite ship, new and improved, even deadlier than before and made my way over. As I burst out of warp the other Rifter was over 100 clicks away and I started to try and close the massive gulf. He did me the favour of warping to the 1/10 plex. Knowing how these things work is key to successful hunting, I knew he would land right on the gate and launched my Rifter after him. As I landed he had started to try and make some distance between us, I started to close and he swung around to engage, soon we were locked in deadly battle. My shields were stripped rather too quickly, impressive damage from my opponent, my armour started taking the brunt of the fire but I had caught up and soon overtook in the deadly race. His armour repairer was working overtime, I didn't even bother to activate mine, such was my confidence in how this dance would end.
Bits of Rifter rain against mine as he violently explodes, he warps his pod out too quickly for my targeting systems. Good fight L Kahn, good fight.
...
There's been a Dramiel pilot trying to farm the 2/10 plex recently, it seems my absence from Gus has been taken advantage of. I decided on something different for this pilot, my Taranis interceptor, absolutely beastly damage but rather like a paper bag when it comes to defence.
Never mind, nothing ventured nothing gained. I knew he came around more or less when the complex re spawned and added him to my buddy list, as soon as he logged into the comms net I was alerted and made my way over to the gate to wait for him. Sure enough in he came and the fight was on. The damage of the Taranis is scary and soon I had broken through his impressive tank but he managed to pull range on me and had started working on my drones. His tank recovered but I was deep into structure, ship on fire and in no way capable of breaking his tank before I expired. I warped out and shared "good fight" in local comms. This is not over by a long shot.
It's 0615 as I write this, Insomnia has gotten the better of me, I have a splitting migraine and it's rather fresh in the hangar but all in all I've really enjoyed myself.
Stay Classy

Nice ship that "Nanny Ogg". Wouldn't mind someday having one like it myself.
I've got an Abaddon I just love. How's your fitted, beams or pulses?
Glad to see you back terrorising Gusandall, mate. Keep up the good fights.
@ Kirith: It's got Mega Pulse IIs, an absolute beast of a ship, too slow and cumbersome for my liking but at some point you just need to grow up and get the big toys :P
A lot of action there, nice work Kane.
Welp i figured i was sorely out gunned, but i didnt know by that much, ive had nothing but good fights since i moved out there, much better then fw guys, they dont compare at all
Looking forward to hearing Try #2 of that Dramiel fight when it happens :D
hey kane im looking to open a new account as a mimnatar and was looking at being a pirate, could you reccomend any skills to train first?
or wot ships to try and get into?
For Minny I would say Frigate V is probably the best skill to get in a short amount of time, it makes the Rifter, which is already an awesome ship even better, after that I would go for tech 2 autocannons. Tackle and web are equally important, no matter how good a ship and guns are, if you can't hold it in place, then there's no point. As for the rest, it's matter of getting the support skills up to at least IV and then look at what requirements need to be met for the Assault ships like Wolf and Jaguar (mechanic V and Engineering V). All are very good ships for small scale piracy.
Training support skills is never wasted.
Jorge is in mean now? Wow. Also, that frigate battle was pretty cool.
Hot - love the new addition to the hangar mate.
