I loved reading this article :) Made me really want to get stuck into EVE :) It’s been ages since I’ve played it properly. Awesome screenshot btw!

It was pretty tense, and the aftermath turns out to be even more fun. Sure, we’re KOS to an important alliance in a highly desirable part of space, but you can’t play the game if you don’t sit down at the table. I just have the feeling that I’m seeing just a little bit of the REAL EVE, the one I’ve been working five months to find.

To avoid podding (assuming no bubbles) have your corpmates set up a tab in the overview with celestial objects. Once it becomes apparent you’re going to die, switch to that tab, pick a celestial at random and start spamming your “warp to” button. Pods instawarp, so it’s extremely rare that anyone can target your pod and get a point on you before you escape. Keep pingponging around from place to place until you can sneak out the gate or log out.

Of course, if they start chasing your pods around the system, then it can get *really* interesting…….

One of these days I really need to get in a Corp and start doing more interesting things. I have plenty of hulls I could afford to lose in PvP if needed.

Oh you’re making me long to come back just for night like these. PVP ops are exciting even when you don’t find anyone because the threat of danger is around every corner. You don’t know when you will run into others or where. Sound like good times.

Well done! the first fight in 0.0 is often the most memorable – congratulations on the kills – on my first time in 0.0 my entire fleet died also despite the fact we had an actual plan, a good amount of DPS, ewar and a HIC… live and learn :-)

Our battle plan was Red tanked, the rest of us shut down warp and webbed and targeting and tried to kill. We’ll get more sophisticated.

Your descent into the darkside continues Tipa. It is only a matter of time until you join Syncaine ganking noobs in Darkfall.

Did your fleet have some kind of battle plan Tipa? Perhaps the Rifter was a fast tackler, you were there to shut down the opponent with ECM and while the other two laid on the damage?
