Hey again space fans!

Nice to see a few familiar faces in the comments of the last post. Hey guys (&gals).

I should probably do an update on September as the scores are now in and I could also do a character review I guess. That said I'm using a computer at work during my lunch break to pen this so I don't have the information handy. Next time perhaps if you lot of filthy pirates are still interested?

So what can I tell you about thhat's happened this last week....?

Well, I moved about 25 ships from Hevrice to a new staging system (Dastryns). One day I'll return the isk investement in that carrier! Choosing what to take is tough though, blimey. I'm indecisive enough at the best of times. I've tried to cover lots of bases with what I took but as I'm still re-learning so who knows if I've taken a good selection!

I've blown up lots of space pixels, both my own and other peoples. Got my first Tengu kill (I think), yes I know they've been around years now. Caught him in a mission/escalation with a Vengeance and held him while a corp mate in an Ishtar squished him.

Had some great conversations with some new players, one of which put up an awesome fight in a Thorax yesterday morning: Thorax Kill

Bought some new hulls to play with like a Hookbill, Comet and Kestrel. We'll see if I can break my habit of losing expensive faction hulls this month.

When I left, battleclinic ranked my 434, well my inactivity has seen that drop down to 1,238 so I have a lot of catching up to do. Best get the game face on!

Oh, and another thing. What happened to bounties? I was sat on a 200m isk bounty when I went away and now it's gone. Where did the iskies go? Anyone know?

Until next time, when I have more time to write . . . . o7

Bought myself a neut Abaddon recently. Why is probably the questions that comes to mind, rightly so too I'd imagine.

For starters I can't even use small lasers, let alone large ones and that's before we entertain Tech 2. I have Amarr Battleship trained only to level 3 which is totally sub-optimal to get the most out of one of these behemoths.

So based on what I have said so far we can determine that I'm not going to be performing feats of heroism or great dps magic in it!

What then? I bought this mainly because previously when Tuskers have fought a carrier, the call for neuts goes out. Wanting to be able to provide whatever a given fleet needs  I furnished my hangar with one ready for the fabled "next time".

Admittedly I've only ever been online for two Tusker carrier kills and in both of those I was in a Frigate as they were quite a long time ago. Obviously my repetoire of ships I can fly has increased dramatically since those times, however now I can be certain that if that call for neuts goes out I can answer. You can probably now guarantee that when it does I'll be asked for a dps ship. Well, assuming I'm online anyways.
