I don't know if someone is reading my eve-blog. But, as most of diarries, I write this for myself.

Latelly a lot of things happen. My alliance had changed his territory to low-sec, meanwhile, I've and few corp mates decided to leave PNNH and join bigger corporation - Red Dwarf Mining. For logistics purpose. But my lonewolf nature during october is very strong, that my corp/alliance life has dropped near to zero (I've tested yesterday new bluetooth headset on alliance ventrilo!). Yes. My traditional autumn's yyyaaarrr is running through my veins now.

I have few long trips in my new recon force ship. Unfortunatelly, no targets. 

########

Few days passed. Nothing happens in particullar. Finally, I've left Red Dwarf Mining, and now, I'm in noob corp :). Since this time, I've started gather money for my pvp activity by... trading! I've met my alt, Elizunia, and with she, we've started buying and selling stuff. For first week, I sold almost all my Tech 2 stuff (which isn't necessary at the moment) - all in deep low sec with very nice % income. Right now, stuff worth ca. 150 milions of ISK was sold by Ezronymius, and Elizunia set buys orders for twice that sum. Also, few minor sell orders was set, and at least 10% income was gained. All that in one week only!

My purpose is become effective pvp fighter in hi-sec mercenary corp. We'll see...

In mean time... in real life I've started reaserching fun outside of EvE world. Resistance: Fall of Man. Great story, fights and adventure. I wish, this type of game could be in future implemented in EvE as part of "walking" side of game. In this case - at the planet surface! EvE Online as conglomerate of games, connected by eve world fluff. Imagine this mission: rebelion at poor planet at distant regions of Amarr Empire or Caldari invasion in one of Gallente's hive worlds. This remebers me table battles of Warhammer 40000 or Void miniature game. I believe, EvE can be like that - in very, very, very distant future!

A lot of time had passed, a lot of ships were blown. My ships. Sometimes I think that EvE code has hardcoded "if" command which causes my personal hell when:

- I fly battleship:

if (player=Ezronymius && shiptype=battleship)
{
    grantAntiBSBonusToAllNearbyEnemiesOfPlayer(player, bonus=100% hit chance);  
}  

- I fly other ship in fleet:

if (player=Ezronymius && playerinfleet=true)
{
    makePrimaryTarget(Ezronymius);
    giveFreeLagInSecond(10000);
}

Yep. Sorry for that code-crap, but I've used to think in this way ;-)

I've lost 3 battleships (scorpion, 2xraven). Each one was designed as "wunderwaffe". Solopwnmachine.

I've lost 1 assault frigate - a harpy. My love. This loss was so difficult to me. A lot of NPCs were murdered in blind fury of revenge (and ISK gaining for a new harpy ;-)).

I've lost 1 stealh bomber - a manticore. But this time, this ninja deserved for it. After succesful murdering of 4, atacking bigger ships (2 HACs), by my inresponsibillity I've lost a battle on gate in some 0.0 system. I know my fault. I still want to fly this!

The stealh ability causes that I should travel and fight alone, outside of mian fleet. And guess what? I like playing lonewolf lately. I can chose fights or give up them by my will, at time, where I want to. This freedom narrows the number of potential targets, but then, hunting play, hiding in shadows, hit & run becomes the highest fun. The art of war. Assassin's way.

In fleet, you're just a simple soldier, following rules and believing, than fleet commander knows what to do. And until someone call you the primary target, you can gain some killmails or at least - finish the battle in one piece. Of course, both situations may happen also.

Maybe, someday, I will find this legendary "I win" button and EvE will be mine? My preciousssss....

Yes! Another video from my pitty EvE exsitence...

Edit: i've forgot to put credits about music in my vid. Here they are:
Voivod - "Astronomy Domine"
Black Sabbath - "Symptoms of the Universe".


I've used this megathron only once. In this battle. Same with the scorpion. In both cases, partially Tech2 and named geared. Because, I used to fight in close-combat in quick cruiser, I just forgot, that in railguns I should set warp for far more than in small blasters to cover my optimal (and video shows how close to enemy's close-combaters I was). In second part - the scorpion was prepared only for quick targeting and tracking. ECMs were my only tank. But, battleship is not a cruiser. With 3xsensor booster with scaning resolution scripts I've got 5-6 seconds of targeting on slow frigate. That's why first target jumped before I've finished targeting him. That's why amarrian interceptor lost only almost whole shield, then mwd'ed under my optimal. Beside that, I made mistake launching energy vampire drones instead ECM ones. Then, his friends in HACs came, and I was boiled.

The big boy is a bad boy.

I discovered a Harpy (assault frigate) laying forgot in dusty hangar somewhere in hi-sec. Reinsured her, a little tweaked guns and... joined fleet. It resulted with free juicy killmails participation: heavy interdiction, dominix and... a capsule :-)

Things to remember:
Without a gang you're nothing.

I thought that I've burned bridges with Hydra after my old corp left this alliance, then I left my old corporation. But latest EvE in-game news reminded me brightest times in Hydra Alliance with a little nostalgia moment. The news was: Triumvirate owns Hydra's station in TVN- system! I was stuned after I've read this. "wtf?!? MY station? Hydraphonics, the outpost on which erection I was present?". Here, you have screen-shots of time, when Hydra's outpost was born. The Egg, and after downtime - the outpost was fully erected and ready to serve...





Yes, this chainsaw dildo is under the hand of someone's else.

Yesterday, I've burned my idea of close combat. I mean - close combat for whatever it's cost. Economics, the Cruel Queen of EvE, forced me to change my thinking. No kill mails and lots of lose mails. What a shame! Once, in Hydra times (necroid, I know), I improved my kill skills (real, not from eve-mechanics) mastering the way of snipper. A small snipper was able to kill a lot of PODs, shuttles and frigs. How efficient the big boy will be?

It seems, rn (right now), I'm writing on regular basis. Someone said that if one thing will be repeated 21 times, we'll get used to it, and then, we'll started to need it. I hope so.

Yesterday, was a great day of the team spirit. Yes! All members of PNNH which were online have their part in the corporation's life. We started 4 man gang for gathering bounties from NPCs on our land. Such "patrol" was good to show our engagement in alliance daily duties. Of course, we've fitted to a lill' pvp too. In the same time, bill payments time for our offices came. Most useless and expensive office in Stacmon was closed and new, far cheaper office in somewhere of hi-sec space was established. With a price 1200 times less per month than this in Stacmon. Yes. I wrote "twelve hundreds times". Stacmon costs corporation about 12 000 000 ISKs. This new crap of dirty walls, stinking air and broken water pipes cost only mere 10 000 ISKs. Do the math... the economy is more merciless side of EvE than pvp. This "rent" and "unrent" office operation involved our two hi-sec inhabitants.

PvE/PvP patrol resulted with over 24 milions ISKs payed for all four participants and... loss of thorax class cruiser. Pilot of this unit, by mistake, warped himself into "cauldron of evil" (15 enemy ships of bigger classes as thorax). But he escaped in POD. And started to setup new ship!

No grumblings.
No dawdlings.
No whisperings.
Just the team spirit!
Everybody works, everybody do their part.
For greater good of People's Republic and People's Navy! (sometimes, we role play....)

Such integration is the biggest reward for an energy drained from me in times of CEO's duties. All sweat, expectations and coachings are rewarded by great team play!

I belive, that we'll able to.... win EvE!

Yesterday, finally, I've fought in 0.0 with real enemy. Not with poor miners or ratter which were killed in first part of my movie (see first entry of this blog), but with real pvper. He was a part of 5 persons gang. I was a "poor" ratter. But I'm very sneaky ;-). And I'm patient. Me, alone, against 5 bloodthirsty demons of battlefield. Of course, in my current ship (BattleCruiser drake) I will be nothing but hopeless and... hard nut to bite, but finally, they'll be able to eat me with easy. Because they have messed in my yesterday's plans of "ISK making in peace", I decided to play with them.

Sun Tzu said:
"All warfare is based on deception. Hence, when able to attack, we must seem unable; when using our forces, we must seem inactive; when we are near, we must make the enemy believe we are far away; when far away, we must make him believe we are near. Hold out baits to entice the enemy. Feign disorder, and crush him."

Patiently I've changed my position - once I saw them on scanner, once I flied two dozens of AU away. Then, they split. Only two of them remains in my home solar system. In ships, which I could take down with a little sweat. I wait another period of time to asure, that those 3 pilots left system for good. Then I docked in station. Lucky me - one of them is in station to! I coated myself as "naive-and-happy" ratter with salvager. Then I've undocked.

3 minutes before station brings nothing - no enemy spotted. Then, I've flied to my wrecks. After a couple of minutes, I've done with few wrecks and an enemy ship (caracal, close combat fitted) appeard on my overview. By my own panic, first I blowed up two wrecks instead him. Finally, I've scrambled him, them salvo after salvo made his existence in caracal vanished. When he landed in POD, I've started locking him, but his friend arrived in terrifying Astarte. Of course, at the moment he started to lock me, but thankfully, a round of ECM drones break his lock. Against such powerfull ship my drake is useless, so... I've retreated at safe position. The battle was over.

When my heartbeat became slower a bit, I realized that I've forgot switch on screen capturing!

A second thing: by real life circumstances - this battle was lost, because I gave all hardgained wrecks and loot from this damned anomaly to enemy.

Damn! I beat him! I've escaped! My tactics sense of situation was brilliant!

Damn, this is a second pvp in last few days which I've forgot to record....
Damn,
Damn.
Damned I am... because a friend has damned me!

Finally, I wrote this.

My previous blog was cancelled because I've abbandoned it a long time ago. So what, that it had few pages of tons of letters: my thoughts, fears and ideas about EvE. Lost forever...

I'm doomed. Because I was damned by a friend ;-) He showed me this livejournal site. He writes, so I want to write also!

Rn is a month, a day which I should celebrate in some way. My first month as CEO of People's Navy of New Haven.

Great position! Committe's chairman in socialist dictatorship republic ;-) My will is people's will!

Rather not. By cruelty of real life, CEO is more familiar with real life people management. They trust you. Judge you. Listen or not. Then blame you (I think ;-)). I lead and I show directions. But I want them to become selfsufficient. I believe - they will.

I constantly drive to most dangerous parts of this game. 0.0, low-sec fights, even hisec can-baitings, where at least 50% of so called "victims" are pvpers with Tech 2 ship or worse...

But, brightest side of it - they love it! They want to live on the edge. And looking for troubles with me by their side...

So, today they earn what they deserve.

The doom is logging in...
