Not a bad night for the Flu...

Sorry i havent posted Lately, ive got the flu and it sucks, coupled with a rare gene defect i have means that im feeling rather sh*tty.

Regardless, and due to my curiosity of then my Skill changed I logged Mr Kreigt on and ran a mission or 2 to get some isk as im after a set of high grade crystals for my Beloved Maelstrom.
After doing worlds collide and moving to salvage in the Serpentis room, to my horror i notice a 5 mill Serpentis Overseer lock and start firing on my little salvaging Cormorant, needless to say i whipped out Tiny and brought back my Raven and soon the Rat ceased to exist, according to eve-survival.com this high bounty rat has a very high chance of dropping faction loot, and upon closer inspection it revealed to me a Snake Epsilon Implant, a Shadow Serpentis Passive explosive plate and some ammo.
After salvaging was finished i popped over to Amarr to place said implant and 2 Low grade Crystals i aquied cheaply on the market for a better than regional price, which still yielded me some profit.

Upon returning to my missioning location i had learned that Kill, and a friend from Vice and Valour Corporation who are Blue with us, had engaged and killed a prophecy but were jumped by an Anti-Pirate corp which resulted in the Loss of Kill's Curse.

Despite this minor set back i decided to Go and look around the system and spotted blues and the odd neut whose ship wasnt worth engaging in my Stabber.

After a while and some AFKing Snakeboy987 Pops on and brings his PVP fitted PVE RAVEN (surprisingly to you all, it didnt have CCC rigs) and we have a chat in the local intel channel as i look around for targets, upon approaching a gate i noticed a 7 man gang sitting on the gate, composed of a Drake, 3 Caracals, a Blackbird, a Maller and an Enyo, the latter of which had Tech-1 Guns which instantly began to annoy me.

All off a sudden this gang jumps into the system i was headed to and immediately disepereses from the Gate, much to my surprise as i thought they would try and kill me.
Snakeboy Decides to Bait and rat in his Raven and i form a fleet, and then Snake Announces he is being attacked by the said gang and requests help, it turns out that he tried to fleet others while i was making the gang so after much confusing i and my part of the gang arrive on scene, late as most of the enemy gang warped out as they found out that Snake was Bait tanking them. (For all who dont know, it is allowing your shields/armor to fall fast to give the impression you can be killled fast, and then kicking in your tank full/overloaded to rep back up and then they realise theyve made a terrible mistake.)
By this time there is only an Enyo Left as the drake supposedly died and the rest of the gang browned their pants and Warped off. Including their Blackbird which astonishes me as that could have severely crippled our response, needless to say Snake had an Enyo tackled which was into Hull so i fired off a few rounds from my Dual-180mm lovemakers as i was in range and saw a killmail =), needless to say, the little Pink spear weilding midget Exploded, and i cursed at the pilot in local for such a poor fitting

As it turns out, the Drake had at least 3 Warp core Stabilisers on, as it escaped our Grasp with 3 points on it. It also explains the insanely long lock time Snakeboy told us.
However i grabbed the loot and threw it in my hangar in a nearby station and we continued looking for targets.

Afterwards i asked snakes gang to dissolve and link with mine, and also fleeted Vark and Visa, who brought an Armageddon and a Rupture, 2 piraste friends of mine who are very handy in a fight.

By this time our Gang consisted of:
Stabber
Rupture
Raven
Armageddon
Curse
Brutix
Crow (Was AFK)

We noticed a Raven pilot known as "The Guidance" keep undocking and docking back up in a hurry, Naturally Snake asked him for a 1v1 but he declined to his displeasure.

After around 10 mins and much of us being impatient i decided to camp above the station and bump the poor Bugger out of dock range and we all opened fire, some with Balls bigger than our ships were taking big hits from the station guns, but i smelt a kill mail, and pray that the engineer on the jon at this time wouldnt be sucked through the toilet from the G-force increase from my MWD flaring up.
For some weird reason, despite his fitting, this Individual died very fast, my to Mine and Visas liking as we were in cruisers and the guns were looking at us with grins.

After much talking in local and being called disrespectful and me being called a macho man for giving advise, and threats of this "guidance" guys corp coming to escort him out as i made the joke of a 10mill we wont pod you fee. We decided to up our Ship types a notch or 2, which involved me and Visa jumping into some BS.

Unfortunately for me, my BS were 30 jumps away so i hiked over to Amarr to build another Maelstrom for my Work when im in The Citadel.
During this time Mot who brought his Curse, Gemin who brought possibly the weirdest named Drake in my time in eve, and Air Raven who Brought his newly trained and Brought Rook, making our gang Quite foridable.

Upon Return Snake proclaimed the presence of a megathron and drake in Kubinen, but with the Bellum buzz killers (Parabelum-Project) in local we decided against illegally attacking, and we waited for my to haul my shiny ass back to ender.

Funnily enough, all 3 of my implants sold whislt i was in amarr, covering the costs of my Maelstrom and fittings, and giving me 180mill on top of that, so i was a happy chappy.

Our gang now consisted of:

Armageddon
Curse
Curse
Raven
Hurricane
Maelstrom
Drake
Rook

While waiting for a target, Mot snagged an Arazu on a gate whilst Visa snagged her pod and now owns her corpse for his own nefarious passtimes.

Snakeboy was still in Kubinen and was coming back to Ender when he yelled that an Ishtar class HAC was engaging him on a gate, was an unwise move for the pilot as the ishtar is a drone boat and drones pop very fast to sentry guns.

Snake decided to Bait tank him so the Gang can move our now very large BS sized Buttocks into Kub and warp to him while this ishtar we doing some good damage to his fear, meanwhile Snakes Torps were bouncing off the T2 Thermal resists of the Ishtar.

We landed and i got around a shot and a half off before the poor Blighter from the most hilarious named Corp in New Eden was vaporised.

After that i decided to Log and wished the fleet a safe return home and Happy Hunting, while asking Mot to save me the 5 heavy drones that dropped =).

All in all a good night, I christened my Maelstrom; the Deaths Whisper, and it was a nice return to PvP.

Fly fun all.
