Piracy
Sunday, May 11. 2008
Of late I have been itching for something more exciting than being a carebear... so I have been pushing my corp to go into lowsec and do a little pirating. A number of times we've gone out to some nearby lowsec areas with no real luck. You know, a lot of, "almost got a point on him, or they had warb stabs fit.... well its late lest go home."
Even more recently most of the more experienced players in the corp have not been plaing as much... new jobs, exams and the like, so I have taken to going looking for pew pew myself, again with little luck, no deaths but no kills either...
Finally some action.

A couple of stressful days - and a couple of kills

Piracy
Saturday, May 3. 2008
Its 4:30pm down in Sydney as i sink into my squeaky chair ready to play some eve. I have 5.5 hours till dt and i head down in the direction of gresendall, mentioned in one of Flashfresh's articles. I search my assets for a suitable ship, and find my claymore and 2 Huginns. I have no cash (lost a bunch of Huginns in fleet engagements), so the claymore stays where it is for ratting and i grab one of the Huginns. Once i reach gresendall, he is not there, but is still online so i check the surrounding systems. After 30 minutes of unproductive searching, i dock and use a locater agent, who reports that hes back in gresendall again. Unfortunately, he has support in the form of Viper Sam and other pirates so i am forced to dock, and i called it a night.

Pirate-Hunters
Friday, May 2. 2008
2008-04-05:
I log in just after downtime and start searching local for possible targets. I can’t leave without poping at least 1 ship/day anymore. It became like narcotics, I’m addicted to pvp. Of course no targets after downtime, so I go to a dead-end system to rat a little. As I enter the system I notice no one being there, so I get to the belt to do the job. After 5 minutes, I see a neutral appearing in local, I scan the system few times, but no one appears on scan, hmm, docked I think. I go to the next belt, what do I see, 3 cruiser rats, nice I say, don’t want to waste ammo on those, so I put my valkyries 2’s on them and approach the first rat, to loot the wreck after it will pop (yeah, I am greedy

Realizations (Part 1)
Posted by Amber in
Thursday, May 1. 2008
I still remember my first ship after graduation. I was so proud. Flying through belts of asteroids killing rats. Then i moved up into a better frigate. If you can really call it moving up. My mission agents would congratulate me for a job well done. Constantly i would try to improve my standings gaining 'loyalty points' with my faction. Really though where is the loyalty?
I can remember when i had one particular mission which tried my faith and confidence. My first ship ever.... lost...
Did my agent do anything for me then? No. He mocked me... gave me not even the full value of my ship and a piece of Tritanium as though somehow this would makeup for the loss that i had suffered. My brave crew and equipment all gone. Its around this time that i began to become cynical and withdrawn. Watching from the outside i began to see how 'the man' in truth did very little to help me. He would chuckle as i left his office. A good slave to the governmental powers....
It was only a week or more after this i had a different assignment. To provide security in a fleet for a local mining corporation. These miners... sitting and staring at rocks for long stretches of time. I admit i could never do it.... the boredom it invokes would cause me and my crew to self destruct our vessel. I needed the money though so went along. They would mine for a time and jettison a cargo container. Another would get a transport pick it up and fly back to there starbase and offload. This went on forever it felt.
It was then i saw him.... a glittering shine is all that alerted me as our sensors went off at the same time for his approach. It was an Amarr Punisher. Not a ship that i was very familar with. On its side was painted a crude skull and crossbones. I watched as he came forward and jettisoned a can... taking the miners contents and putting it in his. With a slight pause and in breathless anticipation i told the crew to not lock him.... they stared at me in disbelief as the fleet began to cry for assistance...
Why should i... I didnt fire on him. They picked this fight. Let them finish it.
As flames began to spew from the Osprey off my port bow the Punisher did an odd little wave and destroyed the vessel. In my mind i could picture the smile of the captain. I felt the blood in my veins speed up as my heart felt it would burst as though i had run a long marathon back home. Then in an instant the wreckage was looted and the pirate gone....
I felt the rush though.... i decided that i needed to know more and become more focused on my missions.... training my combat and learning about warp jamming technologies. The agents of course all praised me and smiled believing that i had finally turned into just another sheep in a herd. I had decided though that i was by far no sheep...
I wanted to be the one who would destroy... the one who would loot and spread fear with my passing. Running these missions gave me nothing. I will earn my own fame and fortune. With this choice in my heart i saved my money.... Now though i have enough... In preparation i have purchased numerous ships as i go out and pave my road with the blood of the weak.
It has finally begun.

On the wings of death.... I have been summoned...
[OOC: This is just the first part of my excursion into the realms of piracy. I hope you enjoy reading it and many more (will make this weekly if you all enjoy reading it) as i learn day by day the nature of EVE]

my first can flipping fun

Wednesday, April 30. 2008
so I finish my warp scrambler and stasis web skills (finally) and grab an atron for the fun to begin. I'm cruising the belts and spot a retriever jetcanning. I flip it and he quickly warps out, and returns in a pretty nice vexor. he starts hitting me and I warp out and grab MY vexor.
I get back and the fight begins. he locks on and starts pounding my shields, and I'm taking about twice as much damage as him... not good
Then I back off a bit, and realise he has blasters and I have rails. lovely. I'm taking almost no hits now, and his armour seems to be dropping nice and fast, and yep, there he goes.

Sniggwaffe has re-opened its doors...
Posted by mazzilliu in
Piracy
Tuesday, April 15. 2008
This time around, the requirements to join are nil. We expect nothing of you when you come in. We will teach you everything you need to know about this game, and when one day we are satisfied that you are up to scratch then you will have the option of joining Sniggerdly any time, or remaining in Sniggwaffe to help with new recruits.
Sniggerdly is one of the oldest active pirate corps in EVE. We do it all, belt piracy, gate camping, ransoming, sentry tanking, sniping, fleet ops, and small gangs, both in 0.0 and empire. So if you want to come learn how to pirate from some of the best in the game then SniggWaffe is the place for you.
This is NOT AN ALT CORP. I will not be accepting known alts from any major corporations in EVE. If you happen to have an alt char who keeps a low profile somewhere and just makes a little isk on the side that is fine, but if we find out that you are actively PvP'ing or involved in politics with your other character then you will be promtply removed from Sniggerdly/Sniggwaffe.
If this style of play interests you, fly on over to Alperaute and dock at the bottom station. Submit an application to Sniggwaffe, and you'll be on your way to becoming a member of one of the most hated and feared pirate corps in EVE.
For inquiry or general information, join the ingame chat channel "sniggwaffe recruits"

What's mines is mine. What's your is mine!

Piracy
Sunday, April 13. 2008
Piracy, the career path of the vile, the hated, the blood thirsty and most importantly, the feared. Nupe knew he had no interest in living an honest life. He knew he never wanted to toil with heavy machinery mining never-ending mounds of asteroids. He knew he did not want to sit in factories inventing ship modules. He knew he did not want to become a mission runner repeating the same mundane task ad nauseum. Nupe did not want to become a pilot who sat in massive fleet battles taking orders from commanders he'd rather rob blind!
Nupe knew he wanted to live life on the run. Taking what he wanted. Attacking and ransoming those who had wealth. Destroying those too stupid or too poor to pay the ransoms. Being a general nuisance. Making his chosen victim miserable. Keeping whatever he accumulated. Taking whatever you accumulated.
So, piracy was Nupe's first choice. Nupe's second choice was his race, Mimmatar. Mimmitar are known for their fast and agile ships. Hence, Mimmatar appeared to be the best race for Nupe since piracy would require the ability to flee concord, sentry fire, anti-pirates and blobs easily. Mimmatar are also a versatile race, hence, their ships can be fitted in various ways which would hopefully keep Nupe's foes guessing on what they were up against. Nupe soon learned of the drawbacks of the Mimmatar race such as lower damage output. Additionally, Mimmatar must train far more skills than other races to be effective. Hence, Nupe realized his ability to effectively engage targets his age and older would be hampered for months and months. Also, Nupe learned that Mimmatar combat required much more finesse and thought whereas other races combat was much more straightforward.
Several months have passed since Nupe's arrival to Tranquility and many strides have been made. These strides include, ransoming a number of pilots with his corp. Dark Side of the Moon, learning to probe, blowing up a number of ships and training his skills to respectable levels. On the other hand Nupe has lost a fair number of ships (Rifters and Ruptures) largely due to inexperience, mistakes and/or inattentiveness. For instance, Nupe on more than one occasion warped to a moon where a pos was located and was promptly blown to bits. On several other occasions, Nupe (a flashy outlaw) jumped into Concord space in a rifter and was quickly put down by the powers that be. There was another occasion where Nupe, a week old pirate attempted to attack a Hurricane class battlecruiser in a Rifter and was promptly dispatched. And of course, there was the time I put a 1mn MWD instead of a 10mn MWD on my Rupture cruiser which effectively ruined my ability to stay out of a myrmidon's webs and led to another explosive death on my part. While laughable, these experiences have ultimately made me a better player.
This blog will attempt to chronicle and record Nupe's journey's through Tranquility; his triumphs, his defeats and his progress towards becoming a feared pirate.

So to the story.....
This one fine night im happily belt hopping around Toad and I see a Ossie and hauler combo. Sat there is that juiciest of prizes the Giant Secure Container, so I just have to have a look. Yup sure enough 3900m3 of veld for me!
As soon as I flip it i get the private convo request.... names blocked to protect the stupid
XXXX > Why did you do that?
Destalis > erm because i can
At which point the ossie dumps a jetcan of stuff. Hmm its full of veld, well I cant let that sit there all night can I?
Suddenly the hauler and the ossie start the wonderful red flashing trick and I smile.
XXXX > now what are you gonna do then?
I sit there for a minute or two and the hauler jumps back to the station, 500m orbit lock and point on the ossie. Shield go down after 2 minutes, armour goes after 3....
XXXX > stop it or ill get my carrier and kill you <<< 5 month old character
at which point i miss the ossie going pop because im in a fit of laughter - couple of miner 2s but nothing much to talk about.
So i sit there for a bit and as the timer hits 2 minutes in comes a - blackbird?
Destalis > thats not a carrier is it?
So orbit lock and point and fire, cant quite break his tank but the idiot had rails and no missiles so he cant hit me
Destalis > listen mate, you cant hurt me and i can hold you here all night if i had too
Destalis > how about you pay me 2 million isk and i let you go
Destalis > i have got a corpmate in soba in a raven >>> her hum no i didnt
XXXX > if i pay can i have the ore back?
Destalis > sure
So i wait and sure enough the wallet flashes 2 million higher.
Destalis > Okay im unlocking now
And as soon as I did he was off to the station, and I shot down the remaining jetcans, one must be tidy you know
Later that same evening i ran into a near identical situation except this time it was a hulk. I flip the can and wait and lo and behold the hulk starts flashing. Orbit, lock , point and fire!!! Expecting to die from the torrent of light drones coming from the hulks bays I am really suprised to see none. Quick character check shows him to be 6 months old, so im very much wth? Not really damaging him so i go for the same trick.. private convo...
Destalis > Okay mate
Destalis > release fee it 80 million isk
Destalis > otherwise you can wait here until i get my raven alt from sobaseki
XXXX > why are you shooting at me and why cant i warp?
Again fits of laughter, and as i try to reply he starts blurting russian into local, and as i cant be bothered to check it out i again ask him for the ransom but discounted a little.
Destalis > okay i will take 65 million to let you get on with your business
XXXX > 65 mil to go yes?
Destalis > yes
again more russian over local with no reply, and my wallet starts flashing - yes 65 million isk higher
Destalis > thank you for that im breaking lock now
XXXX > you will die to me
I break lock and having something to celebrate dock up and grab a beer!!

We all know the drake, that ugly little caldari boat with the overpowered tank and all the dps of a spork (if you dont know what a spork is your totally missing out). These beasts (and by beast i mean some kinda rodent, possibly a capebara) are often seen in the hands of unfortunate carebears content in the knowlege that it takes an insane amount of dps to kill thier l33t t2 fitted missioning boats. Normally i refuse to engage these things under sentrys as
a) they are usually bait for some mega blob of carebearish anti pirates in their pwmobile laser ravens
b) I usually run out of cap boosters in my sacrilege before killing them (my sacs lasers suck up soo much cap, pehaps i should use blasters)

Pandemic vision (webbTV) now in highresolution broadcasts :)

Some update on our video streaming/broadcasting project.
We now broadcast in even higher resolution, check it out at Pandemic Vision.
To watch the feed you need to download a p2p plugin from RayV to watch it. I'm sorry but there's no flash or wmv stream available due to the sheer cost of running traditional broadcasts.
With p2p the bandwidth will be balanced between all the peers who watch and wont tax our servers that much (in turn, keeping cost down).
Take a look at it. We're streaming a lot of EVE related content and nice fights. In the future we will also send live from our ops during fights!
Oh, and a mac and linux version of the plugin is on its way according to the maker of this software.
If you're from a corporation or alliance and would like to broadcast your own material - contact ander@eve-pirate.com for more info!
