Do you mind, I'm trying to mine here...

Quote #101.

"There is nothing that can be in our way, for this is Jekub, that Laughs at Barriers, and says brrm-brrm."

-- From the Book Of Nome, Jekub, Chap. 3, v. V
(Terry Pratchett, Diggers) 


My new occupation has not met with great success, every damn time I try to mine some bastard tries to shoot me, so instead of rocks, I have to mine hulls. Now somebody said that this is salvaging, but I don't even have that skill.
I've decided to name and shame the horrible people who keep intefering with my peaceful mining operation:

A combat Venture, very sneaky, using a mining ship as a disuise

This guy just kept trying to bump me

Arty Rifter of Poo

Herp Derp indeed

Other miners are rude and try to mine my rocks

This guy was fueling a POS that disturbed the rocks in the nearby belt.

Not sure what he was doing but it disturbed my calm

 This... Turned into this... And This, after I went back for a combat vessel, the mighty Caracal war bird.

Yet another greedy miner who wouldn't share the astroid.


So as you can see, my mining career is having some teething problems, if only people would just let me mine in peace...

I was told mining is a peaceful and relaxing occupation, the hum of the mining lasers able to soothe and calm...


Editor's note: The Stiletto adventure had Kane in stitches of laughter for a good fifteen minutes, so much so he almost lost the Caracal.

A New Venture

Quote #109.

"They say there's dwarf mines under the Ramtops," she said inconsequentially. "My, but them little buggers is in for a surprise."

-- Granny reflects on Esk's methods of lighting a fire.
(Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites)


With the loss of my beloved 2/10 and with no explanation from the powers that be wherefore or why, I have decided to embark on a new career.

A new ship was recently released and seems perfectly suited to my new career, no longer a plex Pirate. I fit her up best I could with my skills and head on out for her maiden mission.

The destination was Eifer, home from home and now the scene of something remarkable.




I warp to a belt at random and as I exit warp there appears a ship of same designation and colour as mine, I close to investigate his intentions, friend or foe but he lights me up like a xmas tree...

I can't stand for this and proceed to mine his hull




A rather interesting outcome
