YARRRRR last night was full of rum and laughs. My alliance decided to get together a roaming.  The problem was obvious as soon as i entered the ventrillo channel.  Everyone was drunk gigilling like school girls. Fighting over the coms and pirate lingo being thrown around. After things calmed down we had a decent sized and a well planned out group. That is when the endless number of jumps started. We went after our favorite enemy and found a carrier trying to dock after it seems it had been ratting. We were all ordered to jump and warp to station . We had it jammed and the nanos were ordered to try to bump it off station. Someone thought it was a good idea to web the carrier??? who knows it could mwd away.  Our bumps were to no avail the carrier wouldnt move because of the dam web. we had the carrier to 15% sheilds when it finally got a chance to dock up.  Cursing and yells fill up the comms no one could believe we let it get away like that. So we left system and jumped and jumped and jumped some more. It seemed like the server was empty except for us. We went through 3 0.0 regions and even had to fly up to empire just to find someone to kill.  We surprised a gate camp to high sec who was expecting easy kills until they saw our fleet jump through and tried to run away but our hic’s took care of that.  Man how i can’t wait to get into broadsword. The night ended 60+ jumps 5 killmails we were all falling asleep at this point and went back home. 0.0 Space is really boring when no one is around not 1 red entered our region the whole time were out.  And i just saw on the news that travis barker died in a plane crash? I’m not sure if its right but that would suck i don’t like blink 182 anymore but i grew up listening to that pop punk crap.

As i first stepped into my pod last night something wasn’t feeling well.  I took out my hurricane to rat for a little bit because the regional defense chat was quiet about the appearance of reds and nuet for once. A few minutes in a nuet enters system and warps to my location just as i was warping to station.  The nuet was flying a Gallent Heavy Assault ship a Ishtar and i doubt i was going to be able to take it in my pve fit hurricane but i took the chance as i waited outside station he surely came after me.  Two of my corp members were in dock hurrying to set up their pvp ships for the situation.  The ishtar engaged me and was nano fitted making it too fast for my autocannons and kept out of range just incase but he had me warb jammed quickly orbiting me at 20km.  He sent in this orge II drones to do his dirty work but I was slowly taking killing them one by one. My sheilds went down quickly and when i hit armor my repairer was hard at work but it was to no avail.  As my corp mates came out of station a falcon flew in and prevented their lock ons. The battle felt like it lasted forever as i would take hull damage and repair some armor making me live that much longer.  I felt like i was being attacked by a endless swarm of drones.  As soon as i would kill one another would take it’s place. I understood this ship was lost when i hit 20% hull even though the damage control was doing it’s job well.  I started to spam my warp to button to atleast get my pod out safely.  I then remebered i had a tech 2 fitted rifter 2 jumps away so i hurried away to jump in it but they ran away as soon as they took down my ship. The bebop was a good ship i’ve had it since my first day in 0.0 when i joined some wayward corp only being in the game myself 2 months i knew i wasn’t ready but took the plunge. I’ve only been in this game currently 4 months so my skills don’t match most playing flying around here but i’ve always loved a challenge.  Any away from the back story i hurried to get in my rifter and jump in it when i found out that they were out of the system.  I decided i would chase them down even if it meant i would lose another ship,  which surely did happen but not as a i had expected. I chased them for 6 to 7 systems when i caught up to the ishtar. I was so excited to see i didn’t realize the rats that was near of the gate.  I was orbiting him at 2km at 3500 m/s no drone can catch me at those high speeds.  It was thrilling i had him down to half sheild when i realised two rats had a lock on me and were moving close and bam i was jammed and webbed by the rats and then the ishtar jump through the gate and got out of my grip. I had first tried to warp away until i realized i was jammed.  I tried fighting back but it was too late the weak tank on my rifter was gone in seconds.  Warping back in my pod i was even more determined to find and kill that guy again.
