For the last  couple of days I have been ratting in 0.0 Providence, slowly filling up my hauler for a trip back to Amarr 1.0 Empire space.  My hauler (Bestower) carries about 5,000 m3 with a warp stab fitted. 

Lately roaming gangs of pirates have been targeting Providence, and since the CVA and Sylph were out in full force last night, it seemed like a good time to make the run to Amarr.  The first 5 out of 17 jumps had blues guarding the gate, and I thought, "So far so good, should be an easy trip..."

Boy was I wrong!  I was 4 jumps out of empire and the blues were long gone.  I noticed a yellow pilot named Chalypso's Wrath in a Harbinger gate camping.  Since he wasn't a red flashy or at war with our corp., I didn't figure it to be a big deal ----  until he locked me. 

My hauler is shield tanked with some resistance amplifiers and a medium shield booster.  Once locked, he took my shields out in one cycle.  I miraculously timed my shield boost cycle, and recharged up to full shields with only taking about 20% armor DMG --- 3 low sec jumps to go.

He proceeded to follow me to every gate for the last 3 jumps before empire, and each time he took out about 25% armor.  But my timing with my shield booster proved to me too much for him, and I just barely made it into Empire with about 25% armor left. 

My palms were sweaty, my heart was racing as this was one of the most thrilling hauls I have ever made.  I sold off all the loot for about 70M.  MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Perhaps the best part was me razzing Chalypso's Wrath at the last gate by saying in local "Nice try douchebag", then warping.  No other game offers an experience like this.

 

Hello,

 

1.  My name is Calypso's wrath.

2. You did not "get away" through any skill of your own. As soon as I locked you, you were warp scramed. Luckey for you, you had a warp core stab on which allowed you to warp anyways.

Of course he got away. He got away because he was smart and wasn't flying a hauler in 0.0 without stabs which would be IDIOTIC. I love it when pirates imply that stabs are somehow cheating.. I guess they would also like it if people sat still so their guns would track more easily...

3. I was in a Vagabond (heavy assault cruiser).

4. Smack talking is just one way to get a target on your back. 1st person to eve mail me the killmail for a shiny ship of this guys (isk value has to be over 50million isk ship and mods) + contract me his corpse gets 25 million isk from me. You can reach me ingame: Calypso's wrath. 

5. After you jumped in, I had a choice: Keep going for a hauler that COULD have been full of loot, or go for the shiny Command ship that was more than happy to Agro me on the gate. (he died, and i got his stuff)

 

http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Calypso%27s+Wrath

 

In my mind any pirate worth his salt would have found his "smack" funny instead of insulting.  Seriously, you go out of your way to kill someone and steal their stuff and you get hurt feelings when he send you a little "kiss my ass" after he gets away? Don't be such a little girl.

In eve you know damned well when you pop a hauler that you might be taking out a week's worth of "work" in the game.  Pirates types get off on causing as much suffering and ISK loss as they can.. believe me they cry like babies when the shoe is on the other foot.

To the OP:  I enjoy these types of risks like you do.  I'd advise you to look into T3 cruisers- with the interdiction nullifier and a good fit you can cause all kinds of hilarious havoc flying through bubble camps in 0.0.  Just be advised that these ships aren't invincible and you can lose a couple weeks skills if you get popped in one.

 

Again with the ewil piwat naming... are you too lazy to read before posting? or you are simply we todd ed??

OP was in a free for all zone, pirates are in lowsec at 0.1 to 0.4 areas and suicide ganking on Concord controlled areas, those are pirates, OP went into 0.0 knowing he can be shoot at without warnings or causes (yet we do have a RP cause to kill anyone in Providence who isnt blue, on all other regions we operate NRDS).

The OP is a hauler that doesn't have his standings sorted out, he is in a zone he doesn't know shit about, and he hauls without an scout, sorry to say this  it was not because of skills he got out of there alive... he was just lucky as shit. If he doesn't want to loose a "week worth of  ingame work " he should pay attention to what i mentioned.

Residents of 0.0 know well about risk=profit, and i know it from both ends of the coin, as the dude killing the industrial, and as the dude flying the industrial, as i have a profitable industrial alt corp, and i have to haul in deep 0.0 with nothing but balls a hoarder and stabs, i have lost 1 shipment in 3 years, it was a half a billion cargo lost,  all i said in local was good fight, i learned my lesson, and i had never lost one ever since.

You suggest the poor OP to go find a T3 cruiser... lol thats putting a $$$$$$$$$ all over his ship... he will be hunt at like if there was no tomorrow to get the mail. OP please listen to this guy and buy a t3 cruiser. He clearly knows what hes talking about.

To the original post: this is why I love EVE as well.  I have played every other MMO I could get my hands on, and they got old before the first month was up.  I tryed EVE several years ago, and hated it, but after AOC's epic fail I went back to try it again, and after the learning curve I was like oh my god, this is awesome!  It really is a "niche" game, not for everyone, but one thing is for sure, it IS for me!  Unlike you though, I am a faction war pilot through and through, and haven't run a mission in months.  But if your ever in the Auga area hit me up, ill either shoot at ya or fleet with ya, depending on your alliance!

This thread is the reason why I love Eve. Eve drama, best drama. It also makes me want to go pirate in Providence again.

And yes, pirates are jerks. We like it that way (clearly what I do in game reflects the kind of person I am out of game :rollseyes: ). And damn some of you get super serious when someone smacks. I could careless to be honest.

I bet that if OP had lost all his cargo he wouldn't be telling us how much EVE rocks. This is a stupid thread.

If EVE wouldn't exist this forum would not have been made. This is a stupid forum.

If the the Indy wouldn't have exploded, that thread wouldnt have been made. That's a, oh... wait... it didnt?

If this thread wasn't made, your reply wouldn't been made. Yours post is stuipid.

If your post wasn't posted, I wouldn't make this reply. My post is silly.

If I would have written all this from the beginning, I would not have made this edit. This edit sucks.

I'm so broke. I can't even pay attention.

I find it interesting that you have such a low opinion of those who pose the risk which you thrive upon.

 

Without these players your game, by your own admission here, would be rather dull.

You are confused.  I like to trash talk, and in-game, EVE pirates are lowlife scum.  So I treat them like that.  I also dabble in FW from time to time, and have a completely different in-game opinion of WT's as oppsed to pirates.

I get off on risk, there is no denying this.  And EVE would be different without pirates. 

Are you suggesting that I should be more sensitive to pirate's feelings?  lol, some of you people need to grow a pair, and quit being emo about this.

Well technically they are not pirates though. They are more like terrorists of a sort that kill anyone that supports slavery from what i gather from their recruitment propaganda on eve forums. I dont know anything bout them beyond that

That's because you choose to read what suits you best and you ignore the rest... answer me this 3 questions:

why where you hauling/ratting in a FFA (0.0) zone and then you come to cry "ZOMG pirates!!" when people shoot at you??

do you even know a thing about the politics of the region you are ratting at??

do you realize how lucky you where and that no skill whatsoever was involved on your scape??

And BTW this is my thread...

1.  I didn't cry "ZOMG Pirates!!".  I was simply sharing a story about the game WE love.

2.  I know some of the politics, but our corp is only friendly with CVA, Sylph & S3verance due to member history.  We are primarily a FW corporation, and uses Provi for easy ratting.

3.  I admitted I was both lucky, and skilled enough to avoid Calypso a second time.

You need to get over yourself Mr. 14 posts.  I have been on this site since 2004, and am a respected poster.  You come off as some pretentious teenage bastard that forgot to take his Ritalin.  Chill the fuck out.  This thread never concerned you, yet you insist on running your mouth off.

You have no point to prove.  So go back to wherever you came from, and let them deal with your bullshit.

You know shit about the place you are at... CVA is a RP alliance... severance and sylph where granted their space for supporting CVA, and whos the main RP enemy of CVA?? we are....

Lucky and skilled?? please explain where it was your skills came in to change the result... spamming the warp button and fitting a stab??

Ya Black (aka mr.14posts, soon to be 15 i'm sure) Go back to where you came from. (Alliance chat maybe LOL) This guy is respected and has been here since... well pretty much since we started playing eve... wth, i can't believe your taking crap from this newbie!!!! 

Black Necris = "pretentious teenage bastard that forgot to take his Ritalin"  <- Truth

I miss quite a few haulers every day because I only fit one point... missing an easy kill is meh.  The point that you made it out, and the point that I missed killing you 2times is moot. I think you guys should n00b ship fight in ESA tonight. Convo me, I will set it up.

Seems to me you are not much of an RP'er, because thats exactly what happened here :

1. Pirate or otherwise Hostile starts shooting someone

2. This someone gets away

3. This someone calls said hostile some names

...

Sounds RP to me !

First lets set things clear, the issue here is not the OP smacking in local, if you play eve you will find legions of smackers, therefore you must be used to it. I for one couldn't care when less some one goes at it in local, i just ignore them. The issue is that the OP is claiming he got saved because of the use of his 1337 skills. He smacks a player, and then comes here and calls him a scum, the lowest of the low, etc etc.

The only reason for me to be posting here is to set clear 2 things:

1.- We are not pirates, we are a RP alliance and we prefer the term  "terrorists" or "freedom fighters" (depending on the side of the conflict you are in), we shoot everyone who supports slavery and, therefore, we shoot anyone who supports CVA in Providence.

You put a nice "Friendly to CVA PAX AM SEV" in your bio?? then you are a target. The OP was a valid target, he was in Providence, and as he had mentioned here plenty of times, he is friendly to CVA. The OP also, is into fleet warfare, so, hes either caldari or amarr, or he would not be allowed to rat in CVA space, he should had known best before going into Providence. (altho i must grant him that it was his CEO who has his standings screwed over)

There are plenty of posts on Intergalactic Summit (EVE IC forums) where we warn all pilots about doing business with  or supporting CVA.

2.-The OP lacks any of the skills he is boasting about, he is just plain lucky, as i said before, he hauls without an scout, and he doesn't listen to intel channels, (or don't have access to them), he goes into 0.0 without a knowledge of the region hostiles, and politics. I find it really incredible that he can be so naive as to not being worried in 0.0 when he sees an "orange" pilot, YOU ARE IN A FFA ZONE you should be worried by anyone who is not blue!.
