Joa’har falls to NinjaRaven, cries about it
Posted by Paul ClavetSo the fail-dec from the carebear alliance continues, but I continue to salvage in Dodixie, even when there are a half-dozen enemy pilots trying to track me down. They haven’t caught me yet.
Today I scanned down a mission that requires an Imperial Navy Gate Permit. I warped over to my Orca which carries several of them, and hopped on into the deadspace. There I found Joa’har in an Abaddon. A little salvaging, a little looting, then… Joa’har locked onto my vigil and switched to a set of light drones. Will he do it? SUCCESS! Having already aligned, I warped out as his first drone hit me.
Unfortunately, I had a fail moment here. Being up against an Amarr battleship, I needed to fit extra EM resist mods to NinjaRaven, and the station I had it stored at did not have any of them available for sale. I warped over to m20, bought and fitted the mods, and undocked. There I saw Joa’har’s Abaddon, aligning to warp back to the mission. I sat there for a minute to see if he would actually head off back to his mission after seeing me in a PvP ship. He did! Knowing full well that he may have swapped for PvP gear in anticipation of my return in a gank ship, I decided to take a chance and go anyway.
I landed right on top of him in the third room and immediately pointed him. He swapped his light drones for mediums (I guess this means he wasn’t expecting me at all) and eventually got around to shooting back.
I was shooting Caldari Navy Bane torpedoes, which apparently fit nicely into the explosive damage hole in his resists. He popped with my shields at 60%. Here’s the killmail. I scooped his T2 modules and drones, headed back to station, and opened a convo with him.

Don’t shoot at Ninjas.
If you do shoot at Ninjas, either stay docked until your timer is up or swap to a PvP fit. This applies double if you see proof that I’m getting ready to come gank you.
Don’t accuse a Ninja of not knowing how to PvP moments after he blows up your ship. I have no e-honor, and I am under no illusion that I’m good at this game. However, if I’ve just handily defeated you, there is at least one data point to work off of: I succeeded, and you failed. Learn not to fail.
[...] forgot to mention that while I was wtfpwning Joa’har, I had an audience. My wife had come in to the room to ask what we should do about supper. Paul: [...]
