Back in Black (Rise)
So, it's been a long time since I posted, partly because my Eve account took a Skyrim to the knee, partly due to extended Xmas break that lasted 6 weeks. I finally returned to Eve about a month or so ago and have settled into the Black Rise region with some old corp mates who had joined a low sec pirate / FW corp there called Percussive Diplomacy.
These guys are a pleasure to fly with, mostly professional, except the occasional bouts of utter drunkenness.
Thanks to these guys I've started doing things I'd never done in Eve before and am enjoying it a lot.
I now own both a carrier and a dreadnought (Caldari of course; for which I'm am frequently laughed at),
which is very novel for someone who has been able to light cyno's for some time but had never had a reason to do it. I've now got used to flying my alt about in a cheap t1 frig with a cyno and setting up points of station for me to jump in. It's all pathetically childish but exciting. I've done a little bit of POS bashing before but always in subcaps, which while worrying (sat in a slow moving torp raven) it doesn't compare to the trouser filling nature of being sat in 2 billion isk worth of ship in siege mode, knowing that there's no getting out if you are hot dropped and being in a shield tanking dread is equivalent to having a target painted your ship and a neon flashing 'Primary Me' sign.
I've got used to roaming around in T3 strategic cruisers and having the luxury of boosts being up when the shit goes down. Needless to say I lost my tengu which I'd pimped out a few weeks earlier. I've never lost something worth 1.6 billion before and I think I took it surprisingly well.
I'm loving being back; it took me a few weeks to blow off the cobwebs, dust down the ships, remember what all these things in my hangar did, revisit all the fittings and improve them, where better skills allowed.
Highlight kills of the last month or so:
Quite soon after joining the corp, one of the guys found two chaps in a WH running sites in a Machariel and a Vargur. This was like Eve treating me to an early xmas present for returning to the game. We all got in T3's and covert ops ships and paid them a visit. They had very kindly pimped out their ships for us, so the kills were very juicy indeed.
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=15395643 the Vargur dies.
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=15395418 as does the Machariel.
Thanks guys for the welcome back present.
Same day we caught this Loki, which seemed quite cheap in comparison :)
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=15403573 the Loki goes down like a whore in Amsterdam.
A day like that convinces one that the right decision has been made.
An Orca in low sec is not something you see very often at all, so when a corp mate says 'Orca coming through the gate!' you get in a ship undock and go kill it. Which we did; I think this was T-rays first or second day in the corp; it was good to be flying with him again.
http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=15873893 Down she goes.
Then this Machariel that usually plays station games with us in our home system, was caught and taken down like a big fat pinata. http://slapd.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12992698
As I went to our killboard then to find links for the kills I notice the lads have been busy overnight while I've been in bed. I'm doing this while sat in work so am now eager to go home and logon to find out wtf? has been happening.
Hopefully I'll blog a bit more frequently from now on. With screenshots too:)
I'll leave you with a video that one of our guys produced of a good fight we got into, you maybe can't tell but we almost lost both a Proteus and a Tengu in this fight. I managed to get out with about 20% structure left and the Proteus got out in deep armour. I returned in a drake and we eventually held the field.

New New beginnings
Well another bizarre month or so in Eve. Buck (CEO of Blacksail Anarchists) left the game leaving us all in turmoil. Kasdeya Vetis, took over or rather had the corp dumped on him and we the directors decided a move to a new system (Egghelende had started to attract too many large gangs of pvpers; we couldn't compete). So after some scouting we decided on a system out in Caldari space and those of us that could be bothered, moved all our stuff and settled in. It quickly became apparent however that we'd misjudged things a little. The system sat next door to the RvB base and they just had too many pilots active, and if we tried to fight, the ganged up and just wiped the floor with us. By this time, quite a few corp members had left for pastures greener and we were losing players daily it seemed. It came down to about 6 of us regularly logging in and being active. So, we made the not too hard decision to just close everything down and join another corp. So
Dark.Fleet a member of the Darklings alliance is our new home. Lets hope it's the beginning of something great.
Hurry up Black Frog, I want my stuffz.
Killz have been thin on the ground this month (October), but the month started really well with 95 kills in one week. Then Buck left and everything went into a tail spin. to give you an idea of how bad things got, here's the awards for October for the corp
http://blacksail.eve-domain.com/kb/?a=awards
Yours truly takes everything, i'd like to say it was cos I'm the best, really it is because very few others were active, and I had a great first week bagging the 95 kills.
http://blacksail.eve-domain.com/kb/?a=home&w=39&y=2011
So all in all my time with Blacksail was great. I'd only been a pirate for 2 weeks before joining them (I'd joined Lucifer's hammer shortly before it died the first time). So joining blacksail was where piracy really began for me.
http://blacksail.eve-domain.com/kb/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=1521
I had 536 kills / 52 losses. I destroyed 16.92B isk worth of stuffz and lost 3.56B isk worth. I killed 181 pods and lost 5, I have 145 of those corpses still in a container somewhere :)
I suicide ganked 13 mining barges and 17 exhumers. Good times.
Here's to the future.

Killboard
Well, it's been a while since I posted regularly, I should start again. Killing Kirith has inspired me. Let's kick off with a KB review.
http://blacksail.eve-domain.com/kb/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=1521
317 kills, 32 losses during my time in Black Sail Anarchists. 112 pods! I am a bad ass pirate indeed :)
quite a few miners too: 15 exhumers, 8 mining barges all high sec suicide ganks I think, apart from a few retards who decided to jump their mining ships into low sec whilst we were camping the gate, not a mistake they'll make twice I think.
A couple that stand out, apart from Kirith. Two BS kills, one a navy mega belonging to a fuckwit with too much isk and one belonging to a small PL fleet, a PL kill is always something to warm the heart.
http://blacksail.eve-domain.com/kb/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=2383
http://blacksail.eve-domain.com/kb/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=2680
There's been lots of losses along the way, but we won't dwell on those. Onwards and forwards :)

Kirith Kodachi Kill
It's not everyday you meet an Eve celebrity in local, so when i saw Kirith Kodachi enter local today, I wasted no time congratulating him on the podcast and blog, then asking him for a 1v1. He agreed so I warped to planet 2 in my Drake, private convo'd him and told him my location, he cautiously warped in at some distance and then we approached each other, I started applying damage from about 70km out with my heavies and then got into a tight orbit around him, released ECM drones and got my NOS on him. Sadly for him the drones actually worked for once and he was locked out for most of the fight, so I took little damage, and soon he was in his pod. We gave gf in local and I looted his ship, it crossed my mind to take his pod, scoop his corpse and auction it, but thought better of it.
Here's the killmail:
http://blacksail.eve-domain.com/kb/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=2942
Strangely I saw Nashh Kadavr in a nearby system later on too and said hello in local. As we were on our way back to Egg after a slightly uneventful roam (my first as pretend FC) I didn't stop to fight him. Next time. I think they live not far away now in Amamake or thereabouts.
I ran a drone maze recently too and after being scanned down in the final room and playing run-around with three guys, managed to pop the mother drone thing and get the 15th overseers effects from it with a few minutes to spare before downtime. My first maze and it was a bastard, timewise at least. Here's a shot of the bitch blowing up at the end. It's not often I carebear nowadays but as it was slow in system and I'd been scanning for ships, I found this and thoughtIi'd finish it for the guy that had ran away when I got my probes near him. made about 65 million all told from it, so not bad.
