I’d rather be lucky than good

Posted by Khalia Nestune

I was up early on a Saturday, hunting for mission runners to annoy and pew. A Hyperion pilot by the name of Sergey201 of Air Space [AIRSE] decides that enough is enough with my looting and opens fire. Off I go to get the Abaddon.

There’s no problem getting a point on him and slowly knocking off his armor while I wait for the neut to cap him out. A few moments later an Apocalypse from the same corporate shows up. Ok, I think, this will be a little more challenging but I have a good chance of getting two battleships for one. The Apoc starts opening fire at me from range. The Hyperion continues to go down.

Then things get really bad. In rapid order a Tengu and a Vagabond appear on grid. OH FUCK. With the align time of my fat-ass battleship being in the tens of seconds, I assume there is no time to warp off before I am pointed. If I’m going to go down, I’m taking the Hyperion with me, so I overheat my lasers and keep pounding on him. The Vagabond and Tengu are now inside point range, and firing on me. With some shock I realize there are no points on me. NONE OF THEM HAVE POINTS!

With Hyperion going into structure, I align toward a station. My armor is almost gone from all the combined fire. The Hyperion pops and I immediately warp off to the station. Then I realize I can’t dock because of recent aggression. I furiously mash the dock button as the Vagabond, Tengu and Apoc arrive and resume firing on me. With my armor gone and structure damage starting, I finally dock.

Then all hell breaks lose in local, full of Russian tears. The Russian text has been translated via google translate and some is edited out for space saving. I started sending them Russian back. Translated comments are indicated with a *. The tears are DELICIOUS.

By now agro is over and I’ve gone outside in the abaddon to repair armor. They drop a can, target me and buzz around like angry but impotent bees. They eventually give up and warp away.

    Bonus points for questioning manhood, Russian translation tears and aggressive use of “NOU!”.

    Lol, “ebuchy fag” is obviously an amusing mix of russian and english abusive language, supposed to mean “fucking faggot”, i think :P
