small fish in a big pond
I’m totally annoyed at myself.
I was just reading this and I realize that my stardard fit for a hurricane isn’t all that bad. I still don’t think I have the skills to have survived in my battle with the vagabond, but I might have done a lot better, maybe even scared her into backing off.
However, the fact remains, I’m still a small fish in a big pond.
Last night I was doing some roaming in a pirate fit rifter. I know how much I can chew in a rifter, and I’m unlikely to bite off more than I can, but the problem is that there is almost always a shark swimming in the ponds that I’m looking in, and I seem to have better luck finding sharks than guppies.
So, I was patrolling Resboko, Auner, and Evati last night, and in each of these sectors, there was always someone with a -5 or lower sec rating and at least 1 year of experience also roaming around. I’m not too worried, they’re almost always in battleships or battlecruisers, which, A) I know I have no business trying to tackle, and B) I can usually run from before they get within dangerous range. Even in the case that they warp in somewhere right on top of me, my rifter is fit for speed, so I can usually turn and warp before they get a lock on me, and if not, I can usually outrun their jammer. Now, of course, there’s always the chance that I’m busy and don’t notice them until they get within web/jammer range and they use both, and I can’t crawl out of jam range before they pop me, but that hasn’t happened in awhile.
So far - pirates: 5, me: 0
