1st day of War No. 3

Boring is the least offensive word that comes to mind.
We've had war declared on us by The 0rphanage Alliance, looks like they are over 200 members strong. But so far we haven't seen anything of them.

I do hope that they come and show up on our doorstep, I guess we will find out soon enough (I hope).

More stupidity

Hello there fellow capsuleers,
Yes last night I learned a valuable lesson.

But let me tell the story from the beginning.
It actually starts on Tuesday November 8, where I decide I was going to run some incursion in Minmatar space. I did go and manage to make me some isk (approx 80 million).

The next day on Wednesday the initial plan was to make some more isk. But I check my mail as I log on, and apparently there is a coalition op planned start time in 30 minutes and logis are requested. So I decided I want to be part of the action and head on over to the staging are to help the guys take out a Red POS. I get a bit greedy and decide I want to get on some killmails and load up my drone bay with Warrior II drones.
A few minutes before we head out, RL decides to act up. And I have to leave the fleet and go to the movie to watch Contagion (good movie). So after I get back from the movies I load my basi up with Salvage that I had stored in station and start moving back to Incursion space. Once I arrive I dock up and log off for the day.

Now here comes Thursday night, after having gone out to look at a new car and almost buying it. But deciding first to sleep on it. I log on to EVE and start looking for a fleet in need of a Logi Pilot.
After a couple of minutes I get an invite, then comes the waiting bit until the fleet is all set up.
And off we go to do the first site. We jump into the site, I start targeting my fleet mates. Set orbit at 5000 around Anchor, pop out my drones and start repping the guy who got initial aggro.
While checking my watch list I see another fleet mate is also beeing hit, so beeing the good guy I am I send out my drones to him.
Suddenly I find myself beeing targeted, then my shields go down, I am in structure (WTF) and then I explode and am looking at my POD. :-(

I could not believe my eyes. As I don't know how this could have happened. I got a warning from EVE, but I thought it was just some guy at war and decided to risk it anyways. I just called out on coms xxxx is at war. After warping out in my pod I go check my lossmail to see who had killed me.
It was an eye opener to see that I got popped by CONCORD.
Then my Brain kick in and tells me what an idiot I am. I forgot to put back my Shield maintenance Drones in the Drone Bay and had sent out my Warrior II drones to rep this guy.

The warning I got from EVE was that I was comitting an act of war not repping someone at war.

Lesson learned: before undocking check your fittings/drone bay and cargohold (The hold was still full of salvage)

Deep thoughts

Finally, after a long wait we get another Hi-Sec Minmatar incursion. \o/
To be honest, the excitement of running incursions has worn off it has just become another "grind".
A profitable one at that but nonetheless a "grind".
I still enjoy meeting new people by doing incursions and I do have a good conversations and laughs while doing them. But the PVE part has become boring. Especially beeing a logi pilot.
Basically the main reason I now run incursions is to increase my wallet to fund my PVP addicition.
I still have not had much time to join my mates on their weekly roams as I still need to get settled in my new surroundings (finding a school for the kids, buying a car, finding a house to live in, getting a job for my wife, etc.). And to be honest I don't think I'm quite ready for solo PVP yet.

I do hope that we will make the move out to NPC null sec again. As I want to be able to make full use of all the ships I have bought for PVP.

I'm back!!!!

It's great. Last night I typed a quick o/ in Corp & Alliance chat and was informed by a corpm8 that we had a small coalition fleet going. \o/ I quickly reshipped into my Cane and went out to join them.
In my hurry to get finally some PVP action I didn't realize that we had a new corp member with us.

So Athena Nimitz welcome to MMDS I hope you enjoy flying with us.

Anyhow, I go and join the fleet in Atlar, for quite some time we have nothing going on. Our bait ship is sitting in system and it is beeing ignored. But then finally it's Giribaldi who takes the bait and aggresses.
We warp to him and hooray I get my first killmail in a long time.

While we are killing Giribaldi's cane we have 2 Tengus arriving/uncloaking at the Gate and they try to goad us into shooting at them. We just ignore them, as they don't seemt to want to fire first.

It's not much, but it feels good to be back in the game and getting some kills.

I have moved

Just a small update, I have been absent from EVE for the last couple of weeks, as I have been organizing my move to Mexico. This has now finally been completed. \o/
I still have lots to do, as I still need to find a house & car for the family as well as a school for the kids.
But anyhow, I will have no a bit more time to be playing EVE again.

Actually on Sunday the 23rd October, I managed to get on a roam around Molden Heath.
Sadly we only managed to grab one kill. The rest of the little time I've had I have been either running some lvl 4 missions or just plain running some anomalies and chatting with corp- and alliance mates as well as finding new recruits.

So if you are looking for a new corp here is our recruitment thread.
