A story that now is a part of EVE STORIES.

Red Anch

Slowly I open my eyes. What time is it? I don't know. Can't tell the date either.
Trying to warm my brain first. I sat down on bed and rubbed my synthetic eyes. Dirty,old 'Precision' shoes were near my bed. My coat was lying on the floor near the sofa. I remember when I bought it. Funny story, some guy sold me this coat for a weird currency called AUR. He probably though that eventually AUR will be a strong currency compared to ISK. What a dumb-ass.
I glance at hologram on my table. My current active ship is capsule. I looked around my captain quarters. This looks like minmatar work here. Yes, only minmatar can construct such a rat hole that they call captain's quarters. Worst place to live in, so its probably Republic Justice Department station, Ualkin solar system,Minmatar territory.
I reach for my red towel above my bed on a shelf. Let's check whether I got any new messages while showering.

Water slowly ran through my body,washing every bit of sweat that was on it after night as I heard a female voice reading my messages. First message was from Juan,corp CEO. He was saluting corp mates with a recent victory on taking control over Enaluri system. It was a tough fight, a big story came out about it in the Mittani news. All Juan was talking about was victory and that there will be some more peaceful time in Nennamailia and surrounding areas. But still, Caldari will form forces and come back. They always do.
As I leave shower, NeoCom started reading second message. It was from X Gallentius. Huh? Something's interesting.

"WAVE reporting o7.

Our alliance is heading to capture Siseide atm. It's 65.3% now, so not much left to get our victory. But more amarr defenders are coming this time, so we need as much allied forces as we can gather together. We're calling for backup. Furthermore, almost immedeately after Siseide fall we're starting a massive ops, which one's target would be Kamela, one of core amarr systems. Heavy resistance is expected, so don't hesitate to come and show those damn fanatic slavers power of true democracy.

Note: we advice every participator to choose a temporary base in Jel. It's the most comfortable position to store your assets due to ops progression.
Please, forward this message to all gallente sympathizers who wish to support Matari in this time.

Regards,
Nethridius

This weekend I will head down to Amarr space to help out Smile 'n' Wave and everybody else is welcome to join.

I have a large number of derp atrons and attrition cats in from our last op down there, and I can hand them out as needed to anybody who needs to reship.

Heh, so that means coming back near Dal and fighing for Minmatar again. Never really liked them. They got numbers but no balls. Anyway, it might be fun to meet Dark Rising corporation members again.

As I start to dry my hair I check "Bounty" section on my NeaCom. Alright, I'm still not here. Been trying to impress Concord by killing some local pirates over the surrounding systems so that they would give me a permission to high security space again.

No more news.

I dial Gaustold Aksenber number, one of the local agent here in Ualkin for any information about local disturbance in Ualkin. His voice sounded satisfied about me taking the job he offered.

I grab my coat and leave the room. Been sitting in this station for too long I think.
As I was standing and looking at my cruiser,Cerberus, my heart had an unknown feeling. Its like I knew what was going to happen soon. But at the same time I was not sure when. All I knew that now, I am going to get into my capsule, board my ship and fight for my future.

As I was undocking, i glanced at a planet nearby.

It is always red and dark.
All this system is like that.

Heh, soon we gonna see some pirate Kruul blood on my front Cerberus window when I get him.

Well,off I go.

Author notes

Short story is about a day when a pilot wakes up in a station shortly after a recent Gallente - Caldari faction warfare changes,when Enaluri was taken on April 14 (http://themittani.com/news/enaluri-falls-caldari-evacuate).

All that fighting was exhausting and sometimes we all need to stop for a second. Because sometimes you may find yourself in a black hole, unable to bail out. Sucked for an eternity.

Witch Hunt: Ep.2

So, the last couple of days were a big success in PVP.

Did quite a lot of "fishing" with my pilgrim.  The most spectacular kill was this solo Arazuhttp://dvesk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=17151911 , who engaged my fleet mate in a medium plex. We noticed arazu before he entered the plex. Unfortunately he did  not decloak after warp in, so we just waited. He decloaked about 25km away from us and pointed Tristan. I held cloak, because we didn't have tackle in him. After saying to tristan pilot to burn away from Arazu in the opposite direction to force him approach me i managed to get Arazu scrambed and webbed. He died fast, my friend was in hull when he died. And of course loot fairy was very generous.
Oh, and before the arazu, we took this guy too: http://dvesk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=17151799.
Again,loot fairy was in favor of us.


After a successful baiting i docked my pilgrim and the next day i grabbed my friend Zero and we went for a hunt again. This time action took place in Tama, favorited pirate system, famous for not solo pvp. We went inside the medium which was far far away from anything else ( perfect place for our tactic) and waited. When plex was reaching  zero ( ~1min), we saw 2 wolfs on scan. In my head i imagined two possible scenarios for kiting wolfs and brawling wolfs. So we took the fight. Both wolfs were brawling and as soon as they landed we tackled them. By spreading points we prevented then from warping out,so they fought till the end. And the end was certain.

Of course,Zero in punisher died too :(

Later that day,me and Jimbo went to check south of Black Rise. He had a tristan.
We did 3 medium plexes in different systems and managed to kill a executioner and hookbill.

It was a nice hunt.
_________________________________________________________________________

Later that evening, i formed a frig fleet.
Fleet lasted for several hours and we had much fun. Spotted a cruiser gang in Nenna,who had a NAGA. So simply suicided frigates to kill that naga and it was a lot of fun.
Whole evening battlereport is here: http://dvesk.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=17174239

Also we had a fight against squids and some neutrals. Julianus did a great job calling targets! Really enjoyed it and i might run some more fleets in the future.

Witch Hunter: Episode 1

A lot of time gone by from my last post here. Probably that was necessary. In general, few new events happened in my life:

1. I started working for Czech aircraft manufacturer company as design engineer
2. I left Dark Rising and went back to Gallente militia to fight against squids.


First event is a great push in my career. Im still very young(according to my boss Martin), only 21 and already learning/working in this kind of company. Just recently I was able to show my aerodynamic knowledge  on computing aerodynamic characteristics for a new ultra-light airplane Savage. I did good and I am very happy about it. I am working directly with my boss on this project, he is willing to teach me how to design an airplane from 0 to everything. So its gonna be a lot of fun, of course hard, but i like it very much. And my girlfriend is happy too because i meet her now 2 times per month for 3 straight days every time.

As for EVE. Yes,i left DR. It was a hard decision for me, because i love people there. And it is a shame they left Gallente space and went to fight for minmatar. So I came back ad joined JUSTK along with XG,Dopified,Isis Blood and others. Good people, you can feel a real Gallente spirit in this corporation and whole militia.

Lately I decided to try a new ship. Pilgrim. Fitted it for solo work. First tries were a nice success, i lost two though, but due to mistakes I made (a) attacked an incursus on gate   b)engaged x2 thorax too recklessly without checking they were kiting).  But eventually I very liked it. And I bought another 2 Pilgrim.

Fit is quite standart, although i prefer MWD over AB ( due to camp,and the fact that pilgrim is very easy to kite when hes using AB).

[Pilgrim]
1600mm Reinforced Rolled Tungsten Plates I
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Damage Control II
Energized Adaptive Nano Membrane II
Medium Ancillary Armor Repairer, Nanite Repair Paste

Warp Scrambler II
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator
Experimental 10MN Microwarpdrive I
Medium Electrochemical Capacitor Booster I, Cap Booster 25
Balmer Series Tracking Disruptor I, Tracking Speed Disruption Script

Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Medium Unstable Power Fluctuator I
Small Energy Neutralizer II
Covert Ops Cloaking Device II

Medium Ancillary Current Router I
Medium Anti-Thermic Pump I


So after joining JUSTK my first hunt was made in Innia. Tactic very easy: warp to medium, jetisson a can ~15k away from beacon with name "LOOT" or other silly name and cloak 5-6k from it. And then  go read a book or go study something.
I realized that is much more effective to have a bait. So I invited  Zero Shazih  to join me in a frigate or dessy. Tanked as much as possible.
Hookbill landed on plex. We tackled him. I accidentally pressed cloak and lost my drones and lock on hoobkill. Thank god Zero Shazih  had him locked down. I locked hoobkill again, but unfornutalety as i tackled him, my friend died.

So eventually we lost a punisher,killed hookbill. A nice hunt for an evening.

Ballz out! Thorax engagement 1

I am very glad that i finished my medium blaster training and now i'm able to use a Thorax!

Thorax is one step closer to Deimos, which I'll be flying solo in the upcoming 3-4 months.
Now,what i actually did with my thorax was that I didn't use standart fit (electrons,web,scram,1600mm plate etc). But i made it x2 MAR. That's because of 2 reasons:

1) I do not use slave set yet
2) x2 MAR Thorax might work better when I am facing more than 1 hostile.
3) It's a good practice before using Deimos

So, my first encounter was a little too ballsy. I engaged a condor,coercor,thrasher,slicer and a jaguar on Nenn  gate in Akidagi.
The idea was to simply kill coercer, then thrasher and then just jump out if no one will be in range.
So when i first jumped to aki fron nenn, i saw that they were already waiting for me. Not reinforcement. Just me vs squids.

 noticed that Coercer was behind the gate, so i primaried thrasher. Soon after releasing my drones on him and srcrambing i noticed that only he was aggro-ed. So to be honest i was a little disappointed, because i really wanted a good fight out of this. Didnt even need to use my MAR, just simply brawled that thrasher to the death when watching his friends warping away.

So much for squid friendship,eh.

Kill  , how that jammer got there i can't tell.

Making Money on September

Its been one month. Tried to combine RL and EVE trading. I've been trading for about 7 months now.
Here i show you my last month of trading. Not sure how much i made during this time, but i am sure that is sufficient enough in order to live in EVE. I was simply too lazy to fill my sheet every day, like I did last couple of months. But here is the graph of how many income/outcome ive got.

Basically what I've learned that you make 10% average profit from your average outcome and income sum.

That's not a super trading you see below. Someone might say that it should grow exponentially. But that's not true. Because I do margin trading and market has its own capabilities and for example this is an average capabilities in Minmatar space with ant trading alt who has 109 orders available to him.
There are some phenomenal in the graph, when i sold a lot of goods in order to gain a bigger amount of ISK to make reasonable buy orders, or simply I had too many items at my disposal.

Average income(Ia): 712mil ISK
Average outcome(Oa): 721 mil ISK
n-days
Average 10% profit i made in September:  (Ia+Oa)*0.05*n = 1433*1.55=2221 mil

So on average i made 2,2bil per month. Considering that's average, because i usually do not trade items which has less than 10% margin. Of course sometimes market changes and it is impossible not to loss money on very fast changes, I see a 10% profit as a very realistic profit to be made from margin trading.

My first days in Czech

My dear readers,

it is my 3rd day in Czech Republic. Now i am officially a Brno University of Technology student. All things are going well, still a lot of to learn. My studies will begin on 17th of September and till that time i will enroll in Czech Language courses in order to learn some Czech. Still dont have a roommate. But i asked at the accommodation office about him and they said that he's from Turkey. Oh shit. That is not very good. I mean if we will be religious one - its ok, but if not and he is all like - oh lets go to party, lets invite a dozen friends (who are also from TUrkey ffs) in our room and have a frikin fiesta here... Jeeez... Its either he will be killed or he will be religious. And tidy. And quite. And a nerd like me.

Btw, i noticed that female in Czech are charming. Of course females in Lithuania are just stunning - no one can argue about it so shut up!

Yesterday i noticed that i have left my harmonica in Lithuania. DoH!!!

Now today morning was an active one. Not in RL i mean. I just woke up 9:30 am, made tea, grabbed a couple of sandwiches and eat, but in EVE it was active. I just jumped into my Vexor, and went to find some adventures. Now i did find them.

I warped in Nis and went kedama. Found a friendly cane fighting a drake. Hurricane mate was thankful
P.s My drones almost got wiped out...

I ,mostly played with this gang consisting of a couple of thrashers and frigs. Was 2 thrashers,incursus,ppunisher,malediction and rifter. I managed to actually fool em by jumping throu gate when  having malediction agroed and then jumped back when others agroed. So with this tactic i killed this baby.

Later i engaged that gang with balls out. I had x2 medium neuts so incursus and punisher was just ignored and i worked on thrashers. One of em jumped and other DIED, then Punisher and rifter.
Battlereport here.

oh and my morning kills are:
Drake,x2 thrashers,kestrel,malediction,punisher,rifter and slasher.

So thats it for today i quess.

3,2,1...Launch!!

Hello my fellow readers!

So, i am glad i got a minute to sit and write a short blog post via my laptop. I returned from Bulgaria on Thursday, but till today i spent time with my girlfriend ( which mean no internet, just her and those 2 days we got until my departure).
P.s My vacation was nice, i gained like 4 kg because of Bulgarian food which is sooo tastyyyyy. Saw traditional Bulgarian dances, also spent some time on a beach, visited Bulgarian military museum, really wanted to see their equipment. Now what i can tell is that when i compared Bulgaria with Lithuania i must say, Bulgaria is like 10 years behind Lith. My reason why, is that Bulgaria joined EU only 3 or 4 years ago, and Lithuania did that about 10 years ago. And EU money in this case really matters. Of course Bulgaria has some amazing hotel district, which is fascinating and The Black sea of course. But for me, well i thought it would be more interesting, cuz for example when i was in Ireland, i liked it more. ( mainly cuz of the weather, i hate hot weather). But if you like good food, heat, sun and warp sea, i think Bulgaria is for you.

And so, yes the big day has come! Today, Saturday, 5pm in local time (+2 GMT) i will be leaving to Czech Republic via bus.  I will arrive there on Sunday, 11:35. Hope to catch a taxi once i arrive, because i really got a bunch of shit with me, 2  portmanteau  + bag with my laptop and my accommodation is like 6km away from bus station Zvonarka :)

I am very nervous about it actually.
I got a few lines prepared once i arrive:
Good afternoon, i ma sorry i don't speak Czech, but please can you take me to this address? - Dobre odpoledne, je mi lito cesky nemluvi, ale prosim, vezmi me na tuto adresu. Dekuji.

And once i get to my destination i wrote a line how to say "please stop the car at he bus stop".

Got some main phrases too :)

So, thats about my RL now.

Talking about EVE.
 Well, i want to congratulate myself for completing Trail period for full membership in Dark. I am now a full member.
In that occasion i undocked in my Tristan and gloriously died to cormorant 
And after that i undocked in my amazing surprise butt sex fitted Balckbird(Light neutrons, web,scram, jamms, 800mm plate) and got into a fight.
I saw Cormorant,merlin and coercoer on minor plex so i warped there on 0. Both dessies went into plex, but merlin burned away. I did not move, i waited for them to come for me. And they did. Of course my main mistake was that i actually primaried a WRONG fucking ship. But i ended up dying and taking that cormorant with me. :)

And then logged off. its late now and  i really need some rest so i see you next time.!

Příště ( Czech - Till next time!)

Interesting fact about Czech: DId you know that Czech people intend NOT to use condoms? Survey showed that  33.33 percent of men and 34.4 percent of women do not use a condom in accidental sex.

OMG
