Gordon and Sam both fell to a PK tonight. Two different incidents. Gordon's was my fault though cause I left him behind. :-)

Troy and I went back after the PK. First time, he targeted Troy and was doing much damage. We were doing a little more to him though and the PK had to run away. Troy healed up and we went back. PK showed up again, same thing happened. PK stayed around a bit longer this time. Did more damage to Troy. We did more damage to him. At one point, I thought Troy was gonna die. PK had him really low. However, in order to do that, the PK would have had to stay behind for one more shot. And that's all Troy and I needed to kill him. So once again, PK runs at last second. No kills were scored.

He had some mad damage guns blazing on Troy along with some movement inhibitors of some kind. My heavy missles weren't doing enough damage. Need to train up some more missle/targeting skills. Over all, not bad for a couple of newbs. He was obviously in a very well equiped frigate and had some skills.

Gordon and Sam will be avenged.

I'm actually inspired to revamp the TKV site and start some EVE logs. Troy will get a whole new perspective as far as the TKV site is concerned. heheh


Oh, and over all, the PVP was very rewarding. Ok, granted, I didn't die! But it was still rewarding to be able to go after him and try to take him out. AND know that if/when we did, it would actually hurt/cost him and I would be rewarded with more than just a 'rep' point.

PVP was nothing more than:

Right click, select target
Wait for target acuisition
Click on all weapons
Watch damage pile up on various ship
Keep in good weapon range
Watch bad guy warp out just before killing Troy/dying

Not the chasing click fest macro crunching PVP of UO. But, there was only one bad guy. . . So far, so good.

Also, I got someone's stuff. Included a bunch of random stuff, one of which was a Standard Missles book. So, if you had that in your cargo hold, I have your stuff.

I suggest we keep a list of names of potential targets for later.

Sounds like TPR/Sam's cargo.

I've been using the "Notes" feature to record PKs, dates, details, etc. and putting notes on thir profiles to remind me as well.

Last night was fun. I'm sorry to those who got killed. I ended up losing half my shields/armor before I could run but it was interesting to see things when they are harder. A good glimpse of the future of the game, imo.

Also gave me a newfound appreciation of the basic missions I've been running, saving up $ and building skills.

You got my cargo? Sweet! I thought it was gone for good. Thanks, Cake.

My mistake was accidently clicking on the jump gate and leaping into that mess of stirred up pirates. I don't think the PK took a shot at me but her warp inhibitor is what got me killed. That and a 0.2 fps refresh rate when in heavy battle. Still fun, though.

I do need to find some way to rig a macro-like "scram for safety" rig that can be used in an extrememly poor fps situation, though. Maybe I should make it a habit to have something plugged into the autopilot at all times.

I think the trick is to have something in autopilot, just like u mentioned.

I started one in the Private forum.

And speaking of we, when are you firing it up? Even if you don't have much time to play, at least create the character, run the tutorial and get the training started.
