EVE Journey

Mica storms into the bunk and starts to rail about PvE and PvP fittings. I look up his loss

2008.09.19 15:05

Victim: Mica Breeze
Corp: TransGalactic Industries
Alliance: Sylph Alliance
Faction: NONE
Destroyed: Myrmidon
System: ERVK-P
Security: 0.0
Damage Taken: 23597

When he first flew into 0.0, he had hurriedly x’d up (term we use for joining a fleet) for a FC (Fleet Commander’s) call to battle versus Against ALL Authorities. Being slightly cocky, he thought he had faced the worse in Lvl 4 Agent missions and he brought his only mission setup ship to the fight which turned out to be a huge mistake.

With nothing to his name but the ISK in his wallet and his trustworthy Myrmidon, he flew straight into a well set up camp by reds and watched as his shields crumbled under the onslaught of 3 Falcons (keeping him jammed), 2 Rapiers, 1 Curse, 1 Arazu, 1 Huggin, 1 Zealot,  1 Drake and a Crow. The well rounded recon gang kept him jammed and locked down with little that could be done. Thankfully, the friendly fleet managed to come out on top.

I quickly sent Mica a new ship (after all, I had encouraged him to join us) to help him along while he rummaged through his weapons locker to get refitted. He learnt a lesson that day to always have the right ship for the job.

A piece of goods news is that Mica finally joins us on in 4 days! He has thought things over and will be flying down with his battle-cruiser straight into fleets here. This gives me some relief as my own fleet efforts has been less than desirable with frequent losses of Tech 1 frigates in tackling.

I think I will concentrate more on industrial skills to help supply Mica with pvp ships.

Mica writes to me today from his new Myrmidon battle-cruiser in Empire. He is quickly growing weary of running missions with his Federation Navy agent, they no longer present a challenge to him even as he moves from Level 3 agents to Level 4 agents. I’m amazed at how far he has progressed while I’m still slogging away on Exhumer training to be able to solo-mine in 0.0.

The days here have been long and weary with corporation mates getting tired and some choosing to remain in Empire. Those remaining soldier on in fleets but some of us are miners who can’t wield a proper PvP ship against the hardened pirates around us. I urge Mica to join us so that he might take up the fight against the pirates. He says he will consider and get back to me soon.
