Martimus where is your corp. located?
I’m an old player that took a long break from game and recently re activated. I actually have two accounts one with a hauler alt on it that fly’s a freighter, the single most expensive ship I ever purchased at well over a billion ISK back in the day
But my main is Caldari who was my PvP/PvE character. Back when I was playing regularly I was part of a corporation that was part of a PvP alliance. The alliance is no longer around and I’m the last one left in my corp. Actually there was no one left until I reactivated it.
Since I got back I fitted out a Tengu and have been running level 3s in it… yes it’s overkill for Level 3s but it so much more fun to fly than my Drake. It was also the 2nd more expensive ship I’ve ever bought and I don’t want to fly it in PvP until I have enough Isk to replace it. On the current market that’s about 500,000,000 to 600,000,000 ISK to buy and fit a new one.
I’m also about half way to the 600,000 rep points I need to get a Cladari Navy Raven. Talk about a GRIND when you are doing level 3s for the rep.
It’s been fun to get back in game and get caught up, While I don’t have a crazy amount of SP trained due to a long lay off, about 35 mill on my Caldari and a bit more on my hauler alt, I do have a lot of experience in fleet operations and PvP of that type.
I wouldn’t mind doing some PvP with good people. Not sure I would be looking to join your crop but I wouldn’t mind running along on the occasional ops as a friendly.
Better to try people out you don’t know first anyway. I wont go into what happened to one of the corps in my alliance but lets just say it’s still sited as one of the most infamous corporation thefts of all times. There are good reasons to be cautious in EvE.
I tell you even doing PvE since I’ve been back I’ve lost two ships. One was my own stupidity the other was just one of those things.
I lost an EMPTY Badger II at a gate camp in .4 when I was going to retrieve some items that had been left at a station back from my PvP days. Now if the campers had been professionals, and not simply griefers, they would have had someone scan me while I was sill in high sec and hit me AFTER I made my pick up, not before.
Knowing that these people were only griefers I did the one thing I knew would really piss them off. I stuck around in a cloaked Mantacore, which I just so happened to also have in that same system and warned people of the gate camp. They taunted me but I never once responded directly to them. Most griefers are only in it to see people complain in local, so I’m sure I was a very unsatisfying target. Hey I had four more Badger II sitting back at another station so it didn’t bother me. Now if they had got my cargo…. Different story I guess.
It was after this encounter that I realized that while the quantity of griefers in game may have indeed increased the quality appears to be somewhat diluted. Oh yeah I’ve been griefed by some pros in the past.
My other loss was a Crow outside a station in ……. Wait for it….. JITA.
I was looking to see if I could get a deal on some modules and I thought perhaps Jita, hive of scum and villainy that it is, might be a good place to look.
Yeah I made a rookie mistake in Jita by not maintaining full MWD speed while outside the station, and paid for it with an interceptor. Ganked by two griefers who lost their destroyers to Concord and then their friend who was trying to get my wreck and salvage lost it to another griefer LOL
Ahhh Jita
