Namas tayam!

Had a lot of combat today though none of it was against other capsuleers. I completed more than half a dozen missions for my agent, and though most were normal recovery or kill missions, I did have one that gave me some trouble. She offered me my first burner mission today, a contract to kill a renegade Jaguar pilot with some logistical support. My first attempt could have gone better to be honest, I rushed in with my Ishkur thinking I'd be able to manhandle the Bursts she had helping her. I was quickly dissuaded of this notion when the Jaguar promptly ripped my Ishkur to shreds within seconds of engaging. The Jaguar was only using an Afterburner, and so were her escorts, so I came back in a kiting Tristan, hoping that if I could keep range I'd be able to pick them off one by one. A few lucky shots from the Jaguar nearly killed this idea, but I was also unable to break the shield tank the two Bursts were able to sustain. My last effort was finally successful, I brought my Worm out and was finally able to break through the Bursts desperate defenses before obliterating the Jaguar at a relatively safe 18 kilometers away. I'd fit a point on all of my ships, just in case the Jaguar pilot decided to scarper off, though now it seems unnecessary. The rest of my missions for the day were much more tame in comparison, but I'll be ready next time I have to fight one of these Burner pilots.

Normal industrial operations today, mostly consisting of maintaining my Planetary operations and some more production of T2 components.

Namas tayam!

My combat today was aggressive and informative. Richard and I tested a few of our newest Cruiser designs today, with me incorporating the new defensed I've been developing the last few days. He was able to best me once, but I came out victorious in our next two duels. Later in the day I was able to complete three more missions for my new agent near Placid, with the last one impressing them a bit I believe.

I also spent a few hours mining today, my Tritanium and Pyerite supplies have been running a bit low with all the larger scale production I've been doing the last few weeks. My friend Numen Demessis has been a bit more active lately as well, selling me his Planetary goods, as well as salvaging the remnants from my missions, for a modest fee of course. He's still Caldari after all, Dissenter though he may be...

Namas tayam.

Another fairly quiet night, I spent most of it moving my mission running assets nearer to Intaki from their old location in Amarr space. I  ran a mission for my new agent, to get a feel for what I'd be working with, and everything went well. These missions will also help to alleviate the supply problems I've been having with my production. I also reset my Planetary Interaction lines today, though I'm not likely to run out of Nanite Repair paste any time soon.

Suprab nahi, tayam!

A Fun Monday, January 12

Namas tayam!

The corp had a bit of unconventional combat today, in that I don't think we actually killed anyone. The action started when we found Caldari Militia pilot Foley Aberas Jones, firing orbital rounds down upon beautiful Intaki Prime. The fellow was neutral so we couldn't just turn him into fireworks above Intaki, so we came up with the bright idea to shoot fireworks at him instead. We gathered together nearby, launchers loaded with varying colors of explosives, before finally landing on grid, pointing our target, and lighting him up with our stored pyrotechnics.



Our target was appropriately terrified by our actions, though surprised we hadn't acted with intent to destroy his vessel. Several minutes later it was noticed that Foley's armor had taken damage and the decision was made for some of us to leave and come back with armor repair capabilities. This further confused our quarry, though at this point I'm pretty sure he understood we had no intention of actually killing him.



Though it's likely Richard's smartbombing Megathron landing on grid a few minutes later scared him a little bit. We let him go a a bit later once we had run out of chemical explosives and frozen water to throw at him, with a stern warning and more than likely a confused smile on his face.

I later went on to lose an Algos to a small Dead Star Syndicate fleet comprising of an Enyo, two Tristans, and oddly enough, a Bantam.

My industrial activities for today were limited to some minor production and shipping, and the retrieval of a blueprint original I apparently misplaced in Amarr space. It should help me with some of my defensive capabilities, provided I can find the materials, some of which are hard to come by in my area of operations. Pretty quiet day overall to be honest.

That's all for today,
Suprab nahi tayam!

A New Year, A New Format

Namas tayam! (Greetings everyone)

I've been wanting to post more of the happenings in my life over the last few months, but I've not gotten the urge to sit down and do it all in one go. Instead I'd like to begin keeping a daily log of my activities, something I feel I'll be able to keep up with more readily than large posts every who knows when. For the most part I'll be dividing my posts into combat and industry sections, unless of course the two overlap for the day.

Combat for today consisted mostly of my daily patrol of the Placid region. I was close to catching a pirate Daredevil in Vey but his faster align time meant I was unable to keep up with him as he hopped around the system. Once my corpmate Richard Masseri undocked we attempted to catch another pirate, this one in an Arbitrator. Richard was able to get the target pointed, but by the time I arrived he'd already destroyed the pirate's ship. Looking at the loss afterward, we were both surprised how fast the pirate died, since it was using dual reps, both normal and ancillary repair units. 

My industrial activities consisted primarily of my continued efforts to rescue lost and abandoned drones, as well as unclutter my Directional scanner. I ended the night having recovered more than 25 million ISK of drones, mostly Warriors.

That's all for today everyone, suprab nahi! (Good night)
