The need for speed(ish)

Spent last night trying to make 2 caldari frigs go as fast as possible. Fitted both a Merlin and a Kestrel with an MWD, 2 t2 overdrives and speed rigs. The result roughly the same= 4300(ish) m/s overheated mid. Didn't try overheating lows, not sure it would have any effect. With the alliance frig race approaching I may I have to quickly cross train for minmatar frigs, the vigil in particular. I'll let you know how it goes :~>

What's in your hangar

A few months back now the rest of the blog crowd posted this, so as usual, fashionably late, not so much jumping on the bandwagon, but falling of the back of it, here's what's in mine.

Bahut Shakti - Raven (name means very powerful / much power) used for lvl4 mishes.

Tandava - Drake (The dance of destruction as danced by Shiva at the end of each cycle), the chuck norris of the Eve world.

Ganesh III - Badger MkII ( the 3rd of these I've owned hence the name, Ganesh is the 2nd son of Shiva, and has an elephant's head.Nig of a fat little bugger, that's why my badger takes his name)

Om Namah Shivaya - Tengu (All is Shiva, the first of the gods, Brahma and Vishnu coming from his left and right side)

Aloo Gobhi Shakti - Cormorant (potato & cauliflower curry power! my ratting corm)

Garuda - Merlin (Garuda being Vishnu's vehicle and looks like a gryphon (the mythical creature).

I own about 40 shuttles spread out across the Eve universe, all called Nip2

There are others but without loggin on (it's DT so I'm killin time) I couldn't tell you what. I think there's a cruiser or two, but rarely fly them, left over from level 2 mish days.

I have a Scorpion, but that will get a new name in a few days as it will be transformed into a thing of beauty by the new release 'Tyrannis'.

So after the sad loss of my never flown Tengu, I ground my teeth for a while and eventually stopped feeling sick. Ran level fours for a while, sold some plex and had the money to buy something shiny. I had been training for the Tengu for the last month or so, so bit the bullet and flew to Amarr, Jita and it's contracts and suicide gankers can go to hell. I flew over, bought the shell and the subsystems separately, taking corp mates advice on fitting etc. and here she is. Flown home this time, fully fitted and rigged. 540 million or there abouts, for everything, bar the dread Guristas booster waiting at the home station that was due to go in.

Her name is 'Om Namah Shivaya', all my ship are named after Indian deities or have Indian themes. More on this later.
I'm not telling you the subs and mods, if you know about T3 ships, you can work it out.
