This weekend was spent in a corp-wide effort to raise our security status. Several of us had been banned from high security space due to our pirating ways and the new alliance requires a -1.99 or higher.

Our first night ratting ended in another security drop. A Deimos decided to attack Ken (he started the evening as a permablinky) and apparently assumed his two friends wouldn’t help. He was wrong. He told us he was going to get his friends and then called us pussies, though that was his last statement in local. Ken sent him speedily to a medical cloning facility.

We also saw a big ol’ battleship fight (that’s the screenie there) and I got caught in a bubble camp.  I lost my Brutix in a painful colon massage but was able to save my pod.  With all the implants I wear, I felt it was a fair trade.  We also ran into a group hunting us, hoping to find us singly, that scattered when we all jumped into the system.  One didn’t get away, though, and we spanked his/her bottom.  (WHO’S THAT ON TOP DPS?!)

Ken, Travis, and James got a Serpentis Carrier spawn with two ships carrying twenty-five million units of Tritanium and one with two and one-half million units of Mexallon.  They had no way to get it back to a station as it was five hundred million m³ and they were seven jumps away.  Ken ran in to wake me up and see if any of my ships were big enough to carry it but it would have been a hundred trips, not to mention that would still be fifteen jumps from Jita .  They eventually did the right (dog in the manger) thing and blew it up so no one else could have it.  Ha!

As I flew only interceptors until recently, my kill ratios on our boards are sweet.  An enemy has only a 17.86% chance to survive against me!  Fear my Warp Disruptor II !

I’m completely enjoing my position at ENN as Junior Editor.  I’ve been proofing most of the articles that come in (my FAVOURITE pastime) but I’m also supposed to be writing articles myself.  However, I haven’t been able to come up with ideas that really seem like they’d be interesting and my style.  Anyone have any ideas?

I’m hella stoked for Tuesday’s patch.  Since starting EVE, all I’ve wanted was to be able to PvP in a tiny ship and actually be a menace.  From the sounds of it, Assault Ships are going to have their place now and small-ship gangs will be viable!  I can’t wait.

Also, the Ninja Pirates may be joining an alliance.  This alliance is all about the legal yarr (though they aren’t opposed to a gankfest here and there and this is how we met them), so we’ve been working on getting our security status up again.  Ratting is a pain in my ass but at least the rats are stupid: I found a cargo expander on one.  What tanking Brutix is out waiting for a fight with a cargo expander fitted?!  Maybe he was mining.  Ha ha!

I stayed up all damned night again so I’d better go hop in bed before Ken wakes up and makes me keep him company all day.  *wink*
