Kicking and Screaming
I’m back in it now.
While I wrap up another (longer) post on plans for 2014, a quick update as I make the jump back into Faction Warfare and have my rusty ass handed to me by a Breacher. Some thoughts…
- The Rifter is no longer the PVP powerhouse it used to be.
- I didn’t dscan the site before dropping in, meaning I had no idea what I was going up against.
- Initially, I stalled. I spotted the Breacher immediately, but didn’t do anything for 2s because he wasn’t flagged as an enemy of the militia. Also, I forgot that I had warped into low sec.
- When I started in I set my orbit and ignored my flight path. I should have been flying manually. In fact, I never got closer than 9k, meaning my rockets were pretty much useless.
- I forgot to overheat. If I’m going to go out it might as well be with a bang. A big, fiery bang.
- I never once thought “I’m scrammed and this rocket-fit Breacher has the speed advantage“, which would have led me to try to run out of range. I bet if I were able to maintain a 15k orbit his rockets would have been useless and I could have plinked away with my autocannons. I don’t even know if I ever engaged the webber.
Definitely rusty, but it felt good to pewpew once again.
Update:
- When moving ammo to your cargo hold, make sure you grab the correct stack. Staring at the kill mail wondering WTF I had nearly 4M ISK worth of Republic Fleet EMP S on me…
