Euphoria Released ~ View topic

ok .. i'm now inbetween corps ... doing some carebearing (like: NPCing in outerring with my taranis, salvaging the odd t2 wreck in hi-sec left over from battles i've not seen and probing t2 drones in mission-runner systems Embarassed

) and sometimes even piracy.

last week i was bored - so i fitted a vexor (sic! the taranis-whore is now also flying bigger ships Razz

) in a way i thought "this will make a nice boom" .. well 1600mm plate, DC, explo-hardener and an adaptive nano ... some small ACs and a med NOS in the highs and a mixture of vespas, valks and hammerheads in my dronebay.

so i set AP to one of the blobs in lowsec around orvolle to bring them the pleasure of my vexor. jumping into oulley the first lowsec system. looking on scanner - some t1 cruiser and a vagabond on scanner. 10 people in local. 'lo and behold - i see suddenly a red skull in local appear - someone with a global criminal flag - yay! .. let the hunt begin.

well .. tbh - i wasn't really hunting the red skull guy .. more the vagabond. wanted to engage it just for the laughs. pinned him down at a planet with 3 belts. warp to planet - scan - he's in belt 2 ... warping in - he's not there anymore ... warping to next belt. w00t - there he is.

the red skull from local appears in my overview - it's the vagabond pilot .. hunting some NPC frigs. oh - the joy .. he's 4k away from me.

lock - web - scram. his armor is already dented at 90% or so .. his shields though fully recharged. doesn't really matter - i launch my drones and activate my hi-slots also on him. while i'm slowly chewing through his shields i'm already deep in armor - his ACs hurt ... even with a 1600mm plate and 65% explo and 50% kinetic resistances. suddenly i see - dammit .. he's running away from me - already on 8k .. "make the afterburner of d00m ready!!1!" ... so i'm running after him .. with a spectacular speed of 500m/s Laughing

.. ok - he wasn't really faster, but you never know.

so his shields are going down .. i'm in 5% armor. his shields are down - i'm in structure. and *boom* ... a few seconds more and only the pod and a wreck are floating in space. w00t - vexor vs. vagabond 1:0 .. i scoop my drones and loot the wreck.

a few minutes later i'm reading local and the killmail. seems he wanted to be ransomed when he hit armor .. but then again - trying to ransom someone who might kill you while you think about the price you want to ask - well .. not that good idea. would be a nice amount of money ... but then again ... his ship wasn't that bad fitted - and better some safe 20mio instead of some uncertain 80mio.

reading the killmail and considering the loot that was left in the can it seems he killed a hauler a few minutes before i jumped into the system under the sentries. and was now waiting for his agression to go away while NPCing a bit.

well .. bad day for him Razz

Vexors are awsome!
My alt has good skills for a vexor, and iw found using 3 heavy t2 drones on it, to be realy efficient considering the isk you trow on it with t1 mods.

I like this killmail prety good:

I had about the same settup, but with small railguns insted of autocannons.

I also took on a crow, vexor and stabber at the same time in it, and killd them all in short time.. The drones cheewed through them so fast, it was insane.
ofc, when i jumped back to konora, i got ganked by the crow pilote in the dominix he went to gett for some revenge.
i challanged him to a 1on1 domi fight, and promptly killd him again.
giving me some nice t2 hardeners, and heavy diminishing nosferatus! Twisted Evil

Cheers!
