Someone PMed me asking for 1v1 in BC, I asked what ship and he said "BC". Knowing that people generally say this when they are using a weird fit, or something they think is OP, I said ok whatever can is outside station.
TLDR this
85k EHP taken with a battlecruiser is awesome. He even gave me my loot back. There was a cyclone on contract with an anti-em, anti-therm, and extender rig 3 jumps away for 16 mil, so with my insurance money (14.2 mil) i went and bought it. I had leftover mods and the loot that he contracted back to me for fitting, So I lost about 2.5 mil on the deal after repping overheated mods. Not bad for a cool lookin mail.

Flex a little muscle, the russians fall like dominos.
It has recently come to my attention that their is a system bearing the name of azn. I want it. I Therefore sent a message to the CEO (big bas) of the Red Overlord Alliance (ROL, also, Russians) Corporation that is currently holding the system.

Three days is acceptable. I will be waiting for the SOV change by the end of the 30th.
Also, may I suggest you just move your assets to a neighboring systems station and not all the way back to empire?
I would also declare that red overlord will get blue standing from my corporation, and the station will be a freeport, so that may appease your worried minds.

Back to the front!
After messing around in curse for a day, catching up with some old friends and new potential enemies, it was time to head back. Some associates of mine bit off a bit more then they could chew last week when a pilot accepted a level five mission from one of the agents he does some work for. I got an eve-mail asking for some help (along with a few of their other out of corporation associates) and jumped into my body stationed in Auga. As soon as I regained my motor functions ( I will never get over the feeling of moving from body to body, its like I am dead) I jumped into a hound I had laying around and made the twelve jumps to help some buddies, glad I brought the hound, had to jump through three gate camps and cloaks are win.
After that was all finished up I unplugged and did some patch-welding (I used some duct tape) on my cyclone, shes seen a lot of use lately and its showing. Last time I undocked her I got in a fight with some BCs and a command ship and overloaded my guns on a Myrm and a Drake, so I'm glad I finally had time to repair it. I even got around to repairing some armor damage on it and repopulated the drone bay, let the engines run for a while and declared it in service.
A call went out over all intelligence channels asking for pilots to help save a few brothers in a system near my home, and I immediately jumped into the cyclone, I had a hurricane as well but that ship is usually my backup, and I am enjoying the cyclone a bit more these days. The enemy fleet bailed and as I was trying to find them, I got caught by those pirate bastards Heretic Army and they obliterated my newly refurbished battlecruiser. Almost got out too, was about 3700 meters from the gate when she finally folded.
My fleet started chasing the war targets as the pirates slithered back into their home system, and as I rebuilt a new cyclone. As soon as this was accomplished the war target fleet was found by me on the Kourmonen gate in Auga engaging a lone brother in a battleship. I kind of took over the fleet (sorry bout that FC) as I was the only one in visual range and started burning for the arazu holding down our brothers abaddon, requesting fire on him. He was MWD away from me and not pointed but after about 30 seconds, a badly overheated MWD and an overloaded warp scrambler, I prompty shut down his engines and called for the fleet to tackle anything near them as I overloaded my guns on the recon.
The fleet managed to grab a hurricane, drake, sacrilege, and harbinger during the destruction of the arazu, and wasted the hurricane as I was overheating my microwarp for one last burst to get myself back into range quickly. The fleet declared the hurricane dead and moved onto the harbinger, which I only pot-shotted as I put another warp scrambler on the command ship. The pilot holding the drake was far away and actually lost his point on the drake, after which the pilot disengaged from the fight. I told the fleet to overheat on the last remaining vessel and for someone to deagress so we could catch him on the other side of the gate, but the call was made to late and the pilot escaped with severe structure damage.
A little while later I had taken over the fleet as the previous FC had unplugged from his interface and left me in command. We decided to just mess around in mostly frigates and destroyers with myself in the ever more popular bellicose. There was an enemy battlecruiser fleet on its way home and we wanted to get some eyes and ears on them, but while we waited we figured we would hang out on the Huola gate in Kourmonen and attempt to pick a fight.
At this point the enemy fleet was just two jumps away, when a lone enemy in a myrmidon entered system, at which point I called the fleet off the gate, thinking they were attempting to bait us into fighting with lesser numbers and ship classes. Apparently my broadcast was not received, and as the myrmidon landed I still had 4 or 5 pilots on the gate. A brother not in fleet in a destroyer aggressed the battlecruiser, and initiated the pilots in fleet to follow his lead. I again called for the fleet to disengage, but as the destroyer blew up the myrmidon tackled a fleet members dramiel, at which point I called for all available pilots to engage the battlecruiser in a suicide run, as I did not want to lose a faction frigate.
Just as the battlecruiser exploded, I told the fleet to get safe as the enemy fleet had just entered system. I scouted my fleet back and immediately asked the pilots to reship into battlecruisers, which they mostly did. We undocked our fleet and engaged the enemies with less damage ships but some E-war on the field. I called out primaries, secondaries, and tertiaries as our falcons attempted to jam the radars of the overwhelming force. Sadly we lost a battlecruiser and a cruiser pilot rather quickly and the enemies started to turn their guns on me as their first battlecruiser exploded. I restated the targets in order of importance and switched fire to the new target as my shields fell and I attempted to pull range on the fleet. My armor plating was thick but it wasn't going to hold out forever, and with 7 battlecruisers attacking me my tank was breaking rather fast. Disrupted, Damped, Tracking disrupted, and in 1/4 armor, I knew I needed to go. I overheated my Microwarp and aligned for a planet, threw some energy neutralizers on the harbinger nearby and hoped to get enough range from the drakes warp disruptor.
The second enemy battlecruiser fell ( their FC, I think) and I started shooting the new primary. My armor finally broke and the drake pilot still had me pinned down. 75% structure and I see incoming missiles coming right for me, my ship on fire and its guns badly overloaded. At the last possible second I was finally I was in the clear and initiated warp to a nearby asteroid belt. 53% structure, was a very close call. I immediately turned around and rewarped myself to the fight as I heard the fleet cry for a new primary as the last one disintegrated and that the enemies were disengaging, and to tackle anything they could. As I was landing a final cruiser blew up and my fleet held the field.
My shield was regenerating but I was badly damaged, I called for immediate looting of downed enemy and friendly vessels and to align themselves to our home station. As soon as that was done, we initiated warp together and docked up to fix our ships. Salvaged modules were given to the pilots who lost vessels, and the fleet took a break.
I decided a suicide frigate roam was in the cards, and grabbed a rifter and ran around low security space for about an hour, finding nothing. We eventually got back to our home systems, and decided to check out the enemies system one last time before unplugging for the night and falling into our beds. I attempted to get some enemies to engage me off the station, but they would not, thinking we would drop a supercarrier on them, or some other cowardly tactic they would use on us. I told my gang to warp on me to show them what we were willing to fight them with, safely at range from station. They still would not engage and sent my fleet back to the stargate. Suddenly one of their pilots in a slicer caught one of my pilots in an (uncloaked?why) stealth bomber and started tearing into him, and I called for the fleet to warp to said pilot. The pilot in the stealth pilot told us he was going down and not to warp in, but to hell with it, I gave the go-ahead, we were in suicide frigates for a reason. I landed first and initiated hostilities on the slicer, and as my fleet landed the FC from the previous fight attempted to kill me with his destroyer.
Knowing that Coercers only have one midslot, and he sure as hell wasn't scrambling my engines, I calmly warped from the fight and the enemies lost both their frigate and their destroyer. I warped at range from the fight and scooped the loot from my pilots wreck, taking fire from an enemy battleship before warping out to drop it off at the stargate where my fleet was. I then warped back as I repaired my armor damage and took the loot of the remaining wrecks while taking further volleys from two enemy battleships.
I got my fleet home safe, gave the salvaged modules to the pilot who lost his ship, and unplugged.
Approx 545 million isk destroyed in just a few hours, a bunch of close calls, and minimal losses, it was quite a fun night.

A Strange Occurrence and some Lost Honor
(OOC - this wasn't really a big deal, it was just confusing why they would shoot me after exchanging hellos and recognizing who I was, figured a good chance to RP it up tho)
So I decided to go kill some Angel cartel members out in the nul-sec region of Curse today. I have some ships and modules out there already, but alas no clone to jump to, as the previous one was violently disposed of at some point in the past. I fitted up a rifter with stabs ( I know, kitten death, etc.) and a MWD, as I wouldn't need much else to get out there, and di not want to fly anything too expensive in case I was caught. I jumped into an empty clone of mine and started to make my way out there, 24 jumps, almost exclusively through nul-sec.
I jumped myself through Ammatar Mandates region, and then jumped into the Great Wildlands. That part of space was kind of quiet, though a Buzzard was following me for a while. As soon as I hit the Curse region the population and number of stations dramatically increased, which is not a good sign when you are flying around by yourself in nul.
Getting to within five jumps of my destination, I spotted someone with blue standings to my corporation, and that can only mean one thing, Ushra'Khan. I immediately broadcasted on the open local communications channel a friendly hello, and asked how the pilot was doing (he was after all once a fellow brother during my time in MSCS) and was received by a friendly hello as well. Wanting to get to my destination and not sure of my current standing with Ushra"Khan, I said goodbye and jumped into the next system.
As soon as my systems cleared I was greeted by a wall of blue ships of every kind. Again I waved hello, and now I was a bit nervous as I haven't really communicated with these pilots for quite some time. Two pilots I knew quite well said hello but it did nto make me any less nervous. I was pretty well aligned to an asteroid belt and hit the warp button hoping the three warp core stabs would get me out and they almost did, except the pilot from the previous system dropped a warp bubble from his interdictor which killed my warp drive immediately.
I was instantly targeted and shot by a few pilots while I attempted to Microwarp out of the bubble, but it was futile, Engines were scrambled and they almost instantly popped my Rifter as well as my pod. After I awoke in Rens and updated my clone, I looked at my lossmail and set out to open a communications with one pilot whom I know quite well and even paid the 1mil ISK CSPA charge. The pilot declined my communication and I sat there stunned.
What had I done to make Ushra"Khan angry with me. What made them want to fire on my vessel AND capsule after Broadcasting on open channels? I haven't attacked them, I still fight for my brothers, even more now as I am in the Minmatar Militia. Why would a player I used to converse with decline a conversation? What makes an alliance turn its back on one of its past members?
It doesn't really matter anymore. I got back to curse and went around them, threw some minerals and a Hurricane BPC in the cooker, should be out in two hours. Have the modules in my hanger already. Bought a rupture and fit it out with dropped loot for the time being.
My heart breaks at your lost honor Ushra'Khan.

Whats in my hanger(s)?
From time to time I do read various other blogs and sometimes thieve other peoples posts that they've thieved from other people. Gotta let the cycle continue, ya dig? This one comes from HANDS OFF, MY LOOTS!
So because my alt has less boats, I'll start with him.
Maelstrom
Maelstrom is for PVE and was traded over from azn. Has been the only Maelstrom Either toon has ever owned and I have had it since azn was a 45 day old toon. I had to refit it a bit as azn can't use T2 large and my alt has shit for support skills, but it does about 900 DPS as it were and works pretty good for grinding standings (need to get this guy into a JC stat). I know I can go out to null and create jump clones but to be honest, hes in +5s and I don't feel like risking it, plus, sometimes I could actually use the ISK. PVP is difficult for someone with no indy/trading/other forms of isk-making alts.
Typhoon
Pretty much a rape-caging phoon with neuts and upwards of 1200 DPS. Fully fit and made for the soul purpose of raping people. Will work nicely when I get the above stated jump clone capabilities and throw the slave set I have laying around in it.
Thrasher
Another ship traded over from azn that was left in my mission area. Salvage fitted and theirfore completely useless as:
1. the alt can not use salvagers yet and
2. I am far too lazy to salvage missions, hell I am too lazy to mission most of the time.
Rifter
Set up as a tankier shuttle, with nanos/overdrives, a MWD, and a ship scanner. Used to get them skillbooks from the nearest school and to scan down idiotic fits. (worked well during the war)
Stabber
Set up as a bumping stabber, speeds hit approximately 9k with the overheated BS MWD. Fun for bumping hulks 100KM off the Abudban icefield, as well as stationary ships off the Rens undock.
Thats it for the alt.
Azn has most of his ships either in his FW lowsec home of Auga, or in his highsec home of Rens.
Vagabond, Cynabal, Muninn, Sleipnir
All are fit except the Muninn, and I've had them all for a WHILE. Every once in a while I undock and speed around in the vaga/cyna, but I am not really sure why I bought them to begin with. I'm not really much of a speed/range type of guy, hell most of the Hurricanes I've ever fit were armored. Just not my style of PVP tbh, and I'm pretty terrible with them. My first Muninn was actually fit and used with NOIR, but when I left, I stripped it and contracted it out. This one was actually given to me by a friend and I am currently toying with the idea to nano it and attempt to kill something shiny.
The Sleipnir is pretty much my flagship at the moment, but definitely not fully faction fitted, as I am WAY to cheap and poor to do that. Another thing I bought for no good reason while I had the ISK and the back-up ( I was in NOIR at the time). Took it on a few roams, ganked some war targets, and yet another expensive ship just collecting dust in my hanger. 800 DPS with 1300 DPS tank isn't nothing to laugh at though.
Huginn
Purchased during my time in NOIR, as they asked me to fit that out instead of the Rapier I already owned because it is a bit tankier. Been parked in Rens ever since, Haven't really had a yearning to fly it. Liked the rapier more, cloaks are win, but sadly that popped a few weeks ago.
Dramiel / Jaguar / Wolf / Claw / Rifter or six.
never really been much of a frigate pilot, way to fragile for my taste, plus, a rupture costing 20 mil fully fit > 30-35 mil T2 Frig. Or in the Dramiels instance, 80 mil. Still every once in a while I'll fly around in them if I am in a frigate gang, or someone wants to go to nulsec, etc. Rifters are fun for cheap DIAF tackle though.
Cheetah / Hound x2
Not a fan of frigates, as I stated above, but I do LOVE cloaks, which I stated a little furthur above, so those two ideals sort of negate eachother, and I like bombers, a lot. They aren't as awesome on gates/stations as they are catching people in plexs, but their decent DPS, price, range, and GTFO ability keep them high on my list of ships I enjoy flying.
Wreathe
Yea, I have a wreathe, its even rigged. Mostly stored crap and hasn't undocked in months upon months.
Thrasher x600
Not really 600, but I have them in massive quantities in various places. Use them for hauling with stabs and a cloak, low/nulsec salvaging with stabs, and even PVP with them a bit (don't rig the none PVP ones tho, ofc). I happen to love the thrasher, always have. Prefer the armor tank variant but every once in a while I'll feel a little squirrelly and run a shield/gank fit.
Rupture x A few
Good all around cruiser. Can do either shield or armor. Like to fit it kinda cheaply and ganky. Full flight of drones and some decent DPS. Good speed and range as well as decent GTFO ability. Once I decided canes were too expensive as a nub in nulsec, I started flying these bad boys. Decided that trimarks on a cruiser were too much, and as I said earlier, started gank fitting them.
Hurricane x2
One of the ships that has ALWAYS been in at least one of my hangers. Generally armor tank it, but I do nano every now and again. Mostly with neuts, sometimes HMLs or HAMs. Has been a go-to ship for me since I started PVPing, but has been falling out of interest as I explore active tanking. One is currently armor, and one is nano fit.
Cyclone x2
A ship I am really enjoying as of late, as it can tank quite well (with crystals it just gets ridiculous), rarely gets primaried, and is CHEAP. Have one in lowsec, and one in highsec with a similar fit. Both are active tanked, because I am not a douche.
Myrmidon
Triple-repped, with some ECCM and autocannons for good measure. Tanks like hell and probably one of the better solo BCs around, actually quicker then an armor tanking Hurricane.
Stabber Fleet Issue
Another one of my exploratory active tanking ships. Very quick ship with a small sig-radius and ability to dual prop, do approx 350 DPS, and tank quite a bit makes it pretty sexy, if somewhat expensive. Definitely a contender for my favorite ship tho.
Exequror
Basic T1 logi, works decently, good range, built to help a friend but never actually needed it. Currently collecting dust.
And thats about it. I used to have a lot of modules/ammo/useless junk in station containers, but I pretty much sold everything I didn't use for PVP or had too many of. I've been trying to condense all my crap for some time now and am happy to report that all my crap is now in only 14 stations in 12 systems. WHEEEE.
So because my alt has less boats, I'll start with him.
Maelstrom
Maelstrom is for PVE and was traded over from azn. Has been the only Maelstrom Either toon has ever owned and I have had it since azn was a 45 day old toon. I had to refit it a bit as azn can't use T2 large and my alt has shit for support skills, but it does about 900 DPS as it were and works pretty good for grinding standings (need to get this guy into a JC stat). I know I can go out to null and create jump clones but to be honest, hes in +5s and I don't feel like risking it, plus, sometimes I could actually use the ISK. PVP is difficult for someone with no indy/trading/other forms of isk-making alts.
Typhoon
Pretty much a rape-caging phoon with neuts and upwards of 1200 DPS. Fully fit and made for the soul purpose of raping people. Will work nicely when I get the above stated jump clone capabilities and throw the slave set I have laying around in it.
Thrasher
Another ship traded over from azn that was left in my mission area. Salvage fitted and theirfore completely useless as:
1. the alt can not use salvagers yet and
2. I am far too lazy to salvage missions, hell I am too lazy to mission most of the time.
Rifter
Set up as a tankier shuttle, with nanos/overdrives, a MWD, and a ship scanner. Used to get them skillbooks from the nearest school and to scan down idiotic fits. (worked well during the war)
Stabber
Set up as a bumping stabber, speeds hit approximately 9k with the overheated BS MWD. Fun for bumping hulks 100KM off the Abudban icefield, as well as stationary ships off the Rens undock.
Thats it for the alt.
Azn has most of his ships either in his FW lowsec home of Auga, or in his highsec home of Rens.
Vagabond, Cynabal, Muninn, Sleipnir
All are fit except the Muninn, and I've had them all for a WHILE. Every once in a while I undock and speed around in the vaga/cyna, but I am not really sure why I bought them to begin with. I'm not really much of a speed/range type of guy, hell most of the Hurricanes I've ever fit were armored. Just not my style of PVP tbh, and I'm pretty terrible with them. My first Muninn was actually fit and used with NOIR, but when I left, I stripped it and contracted it out. This one was actually given to me by a friend and I am currently toying with the idea to nano it and attempt to kill something shiny.
The Sleipnir is pretty much my flagship at the moment, but definitely not fully faction fitted, as I am WAY to cheap and poor to do that. Another thing I bought for no good reason while I had the ISK and the back-up ( I was in NOIR at the time). Took it on a few roams, ganked some war targets, and yet another expensive ship just collecting dust in my hanger. 800 DPS with 1300 DPS tank isn't nothing to laugh at though.
Huginn
Purchased during my time in NOIR, as they asked me to fit that out instead of the Rapier I already owned because it is a bit tankier. Been parked in Rens ever since, Haven't really had a yearning to fly it. Liked the rapier more, cloaks are win, but sadly that popped a few weeks ago.
Dramiel / Jaguar / Wolf / Claw / Rifter or six.
never really been much of a frigate pilot, way to fragile for my taste, plus, a rupture costing 20 mil fully fit > 30-35 mil T2 Frig. Or in the Dramiels instance, 80 mil. Still every once in a while I'll fly around in them if I am in a frigate gang, or someone wants to go to nulsec, etc. Rifters are fun for cheap DIAF tackle though.
Cheetah / Hound x2
Not a fan of frigates, as I stated above, but I do LOVE cloaks, which I stated a little furthur above, so those two ideals sort of negate eachother, and I like bombers, a lot. They aren't as awesome on gates/stations as they are catching people in plexs, but their decent DPS, price, range, and GTFO ability keep them high on my list of ships I enjoy flying.
Wreathe
Yea, I have a wreathe, its even rigged. Mostly stored crap and hasn't undocked in months upon months.
Thrasher x600
Not really 600, but I have them in massive quantities in various places. Use them for hauling with stabs and a cloak, low/nulsec salvaging with stabs, and even PVP with them a bit (don't rig the none PVP ones tho, ofc). I happen to love the thrasher, always have.

[02:55:48] Aznwithbeard > anyway. have a fun evening
END PRIVATE CHAT------------------------------------------------------------------------
TLDR if you look at FODTs KB, half of their kills are corp on corp gank kills. seriously. look around.
ADDITIONAL EDIT: Just got an evemail from the bumping machariel pilot, seems Iam whatshisface as well as OLD SKOOL were both in the corp for the sole purpose of ganking the members, which apparently they did AFTER the war was over. interesting. CEO managed to lose a 1bil isk NH, as well as a broadsword and pod, while a few of his other members lost some BCs and pods as well. What kind of a moron just picks up random people up for his corp and doesn't research them a bit?

Final War report + etc (OOC sorry Vlad)
Well first and foremost I haven't been logging into eve much, as I have had awesome weather in New Jersey (where I live) and love to be outside when its nice.
Seems Rodensteiner got himself popped in a cane and a rupture while I've been semi-afk. It's cool, we still raped them isk-wise, moral wise ( their corporation numbers have dropped 35% since we originally declared war) and TBH, everyone who I wanted to kill left the corporation (Urian, the ferox dude, the idiot in the passive cyclone, the HAM drake pilot, etc.) other then the idiot Black Ivy, who went back and forth several times after I allowed him to keep his drake.
As of now We have destroyed about 192 Mil ISK more then them, squeeking by with an efficiency of about 62%. Their CEO didn't take my bait demanding 200Mil for us not paying for another week of war, which sucks, but its cool, I am not renewing it.
It's kind of sad to see how crappy people are both with ship fitting, piloting, general know-how of the game, and the use of neutral support (especially when your corporation has 25x the number of pilots then the corp that wardecced you) and the like to gain the upper hand. I still can not believe their CEO deaggroed and docked his BS while getting neutral RR to save his ass. I have never seen a hyperion tank that badly, and I know he had a good fit, must just be the pilot.
In the end though, we won the fight, killed or forced out most of the ganking pilots, and TBH the nice weather and being outside > trying to fight 4v1 odds + their neut RR.
So yesterday I took out my punching bag and hung it outside, fired up all my landscaping equipment and went on a job interview. I also scrubbed down the picnic table I made with some bleach (it was super dirty, coincidentally it made the stain look pretty cool, think I'll just reclear-coat it this year and leave it look kinda worn in), cleaned up the grill, fired it up cooked some burgers and had some beers with a few friends + my lady.
We later went out to a country style bar, where I got wasted and rode a mechanical bull after my GF did. The guy operating it took it easy on her despite my pleas to chuck her off and she held out for the full minute. While I was getting on he then asked how far I wanted to fly and I pointed to the general direction of the bar while laughing in a drunken stuper. He wasn't kidding.
Held on for about 45 seconds while he attempted to buck me tho, got a little cocky and started slapping the bulls ass with my free hand and calling it my bitch. I then got FLUNG about 10 feet away from the bull and laughed manically as the crowd erupted in applause. The operator was really impressed with how long I held out despite it being my first time ever on a bull, and shook my hand. As i was going back to where my friends were I was getting back patted and congratulated on a good show.
Always make the crowd happy, is what I say. Anyway, Probably won't be flying around on EVE too much today as my girl is going to be at my apartment in about 30 minutes, and its a nice day. Also, seems I now have black and blues as well as scraped skin on both knees, my thighs are incredibly sore, and the hand holding the rope is REALLY REALLY sore/stiff.
Have a new WT selected and the votes are in, I can push through at any time and more then likely will do this tomorrow night. Smacking in local with this in your profile
"I am not your standard idiotic douche bag, I am not nice, niether am I your bitch. Treating me as such may result in the utter destruction of your ship, assets, and, most likely, DEATH . Do not underestimate my capabilities, as you will be faced with an unatural Tactical skill, resulting in further destruction of your assets. Time is not of the essence, as I have several years to repay the death and destruction that I owe to you.
----Pay close attention to this, as this may be the last thing you read in this lifetime----
^_^ ""
and with only 21 kills to your name and 33 losses, and about double isk lost/destroyed, makes me want to shoot you. And anyone you associate with. Many times. Not gunna take this one as seriously, as I am missing low-sec + FW a bit. In any case, that is about it for this update, if its nice out, go outside, have some fun, call some friends etc. Don't be on EVE :)
