A Mule in EvE

Archive for the ‘Ship Info’ Category

SO things have really heated up, VERY quickly.

Atlas it seems capitulated to PL as Mr. Atlas, bobby, was AFK from some reports.  Seems as if Atlas could not put up enough of a defense, I never wish Alliances poorly but some were miffed inside SyS-K that Atlas set us neutral when .-A-. did their reset, I hold no illusions, such is life.  Seems as if .-A-. will hang on a bit, I expected to see the SOV map change but it didn’t, we shall see what comes to pass.

Huge weekend for me, I added  another 20 kills or so, in various different ships, from the Minmatar Broadsword, to the Vagabond and yes. wait for it..I purchased my Revelation.  Now for those needed implants, any thoughts would be welcome as I know capacitor is life to these monstrous beasts.  We shall certainly see what we might find. Getting ready to crack 700 kills soon, boy I can remember when I had 15…

With .-A-. slightly bloodied, Atlas reeling from the surrender, who knows what will happen in the rest of the South. ROL is still around and certainly a force to be reckoned with…

Fall is a busy time in EVE to be sure people are back from vacation, plans made over the summer are kicked into high gear, lots and lots of tumult and chaos to be found. We shall handle is systematically…

Gratz to Myxnee for joining the VETO corp along with Shae Tiann, both are excellent Pirates by reputation and hopefully will serve VETO for a distinguished amount of time.

Anyone who feels like posting  rev fit, your welcome to do so, my Rev pilot will remain nameless for security sake but will be rounding out current training with Dreadnought to 4 and Tactical reconfiguration to 4 as well, with Jump Drive Calibration skill to 5 I will hopefully be able to take advantage of the extra range it might afford me

Not as large an update as I normally do but work is very busy ATM, so you gotta live with what I can do in shorter amounts of time.

Deathrace 2010 was held over this last weekend.  What a really fun event.  Gratz to Rixx Javixx I had a blast!  OK so I did not Die…rule number 1 …..survive. Check.

I did not win…1st place…turns out I was in 12th place.  Respectable but hardly what I was looking for.

The route was from Assah [Derelik Region] ->via mid point –> to Misaba [Providence] through the R3 gate.

It was a quick trip.

1st 2 jumps were bubbled. SO I overheated the MWD and got the hell out of dodge.  94 KM from the second gate was one HELL of a long way to go but at 6730 m/s it didn’t take nearly as long as I thought.

I did not notice a single other racer, all i noticed was the neutrals sitting at the gate.  I burned in a jumped.

Sadly I was NOT fit with Hyperspatial optimizer II’s,  very few things can I NOT fit and this was one of them.

plus I should have had 2 of them not just 1 ( the winner used 2)

When I hit the mid point I had a glitch. Screaming into it I was insistent ( along with some others) on knowing the next waypoint.  ( it was Misaba) I thought I added it as a way point but must have clicked away as I hit Misaba and stopped for about 3 seconds.  Realizing I did nto have the right destination left I punched in Misaaba again and hit destination while aligning to the gate and I was off screaming down the pipes.

Sigh one lil 3 second mistake,  Plus not having the extra rig  to go 21.20 AU/s…  cost me the race.  Persephone did well and should be congratulated.  Keeping your head cool while 94 KM away from a gate isn’t always easy…not to mention the Friendlies there trying to say HI.

Rixx as I expected it was Excellent fun and I had a blast doing it.  Had I picked from, my other ships I would have chosen the Rapier but I was glad with the Stiletto.  The Claw did not offer a double propulsion, so I did not go with it. Excellent fun and thanks a ton for doing it.

P.S. Moving away from the race was a bitch I got caught by a camp and lost my ship AND my training clone + implants.. I had no intel and no way home so such is life. Easy come…easy go.

Something my step-father always told me and dangit if he wasn’t right as rain.

Either through foolishness or desire to fly new ships I have trained to fly every race except Gallenete on Manasi.

Working through the classes of ships there are many that I consider “Best of Breeds” for Manasi to fly

Tacklers ~  light, and very fast, these nimble little guys are excellent tacklers and scouts, some getting a bonus to warp disruption range:

• All around the Caldari Crow
• Fleet Minmatar  Stiletto
• Meanest of the bunch Dramiel

Heavy Tacklers ~ not as light , but able to take some punishment and bring something special to the camp.

• Long range webbing with the Minmatar Rapier
• Fast locks(2880 scan res) with 3200M/s speed with the Minmatar Jaguar

DPS cruisers~  honestly the list should include the Diemos, but sadly that is one ship I do not fly with Manasi

• The very fast, very dangerous Auto-cannon fitted Minmatar Vagabond
• One of the most ferocious of ships the Pulse fitted Amarr Zealot

Nuetralizers

• the Amarr Curse (thanks for the fitting ideas yesterday fellas)
• The Multi race Ashimmu
• The Multi raced Bhalgorn

Jammers

• The Caldari Falcon and the Caldari Rook
• The Caldari Scorpion

Alpha Strike~ Last time i checked the volley from 1400′s with tremor loaded is NOT to be trifled with

• The Minmatar Tempest

Long Range Sniper ~ 225 KM is within Easy reach, the ability to hit something that cannot even hit you back ( and hit it for some good damage)  cannot be overlooked.  Still has a gimped drone bay though:

• The Caldari Rokh

By no means exhaustive , the list comprises some exceptionally good ships is actual use by me.  Doesn’t mean I always spend billions on fitting them up.  Special ships have more expensive modules and whatnot but being 56 Jumps from Jita and more than 58 Jumps to Rens means that finding just the right module may not be all that easy. As a rule I use T2 fittings , unless their are better T1 Meta 4 stuff around (the nuetralizers from yesterday’s post were an excellent example)

TC and Good Hunting
