It’s been a week since I was able to write to you guys so it’s about time I give you an update. Wormhole life has been treating me very good. I’m glad to have found The New Eden Yacht Club, they’re a great bunch of people and we don’t really suck at PvP either! Since our corporation has been growing for quite a bit, we have more official doctrines showing up. What I’m about to write today is a direct result of one of these doctrines.

Our nullsec static lead us to Delve. We knew Goons were residing near our entrance to null, so we decided to fleet up and take a look. Well, the fleet was already busy when I joined in. Apparently they were able to tackle a capital but had to bail eventually. The fleet was busy reforming when I was able to log onto EVE. The fleet consisted of Svipuls and the Minmatar logi frig. Rakanishu doesn’t have the skills for a Svipul yet, nor does he have Minmatar frigate V for the logi frig (I will be skilling into these soon guys, I promise!). The fleet was obviously shield focused but I, being the scrub that I am, didn’t have any shield ships laying around. Together with the FC, I decided to get into an interceptor (which was fit with an armor rep btw).

While roaming towards and through Goon space, we were able to kill some ships with our fleet. I was appointed the scout (+1) of the fleet because I was in my interceptor. I basically flew in front of the fleet, scouting the next system in our route. We managed to get a hostile Svipul (https://zkillboard.com/kill/56064188/) and his pod (Due to the Sabre we had in fleet. Pod was empty though). The next kill was an interceptor (https://zkillboard.com/kill/56064276/). I landed on the out-gate and the interceptor was there as well. I aligned towards him and was able to point him. He aggressed me, which was his biggest mistake, seeing my friends warping in. It might seem like the cheapest kill on our roam, but it was definitely the most intense one. We were going head to head and I managed to get a decent amount of damage applied, but so did he. I managed to survive with an overheated ancillary armor rep until the support arrived. It was actually quite fun, seeing my shield go to 100% and back to 0% immediately, only to go back to 100% a second later.

The next kill is the kill I’m most excited about. I jumped into the system like I was during the whole fleet. After jumping in, I see 2 Machariels and 1 Nightmare on d-scan. Using some quick ‘d-scan-fu’, I managed to pin them down to an anomaly. I immediately warp in and land right on top of the three ships. I called the rest of the fleet and they jumped in and warped to me right away. Meanwhile I managed to get tackle on the Nightmare. The 2 Machariels had MJD’d out of range just before the fleet landed. The Nightmare was worth about 1.45b according to zkillboard (https://zkillboard.com/kill/56064497/). Lootfairy said yes btw (FC told me the loot might go towards a skillinjector for Rakanishu, so he can fly a Svipul, but I have yet to see the skillpoints ^^). 

After this kill, we went back home to secure our loot and left again for more pew pew. I quickly refitted my interceptor. This way, it had a long point and a scram, giving me more possibility to acquire tackle.

I could keep on writing as we killed a few more ships, but I’ll end the blog here, or it’ll become a giant wall of text. We had three more kills: a Moa (https://zkillboard.com/kill/56065169/) , a Harbinger (https://zkillboard.com/kill/56065176/) and a Gnosis (https://zkillboard.com/kill/56066114/). 

Thanks for reading and until the next log, Rakanishu signing off o7
