Count the Sins

Count the sins in this post on EveNews24.com by the Morsus Mihi pilot:
This comes as of no surprise to anyone, another supercapital class ship is destroyed in the north by Pandemic Legion.
The Nyx, piloted by SheiHalut, was ratting on a gate where it was tackled by a hictor and the pilot logged off. It was destroyed by the PL forces soon after he logged. Loot was transfered to the pilot who caught it.
This is officially the first NC supercapital loss in the north since PL moved into the area.
The pilot had this to say:   SheiHalut > i will have a new nyx sometime

1) Ratting in a supercarrier.

2) Ratting on a gate.

3) Ratting while neutrals / hostiles in area.

4) Arrogance displayed in response.

Looking at the fit in the killmail:

5) Mostly Tech II fit.

6) Dual rep instead of massive hitpoint buffer. (Not a terrible sin but he might have survived with hitpoints instead of reps).

7) Four drone control units in high slots. How many drones do you need to rat? With Carriers IV you get 17 in a supercarrier. No energy neuts, smartbombs. A neutralizer on the initial HIC tackler might have saved him.

8) Ratting in a supercarrier!!! GAH!!!

    Just goes to show you that money/ships and intelligence are not positively correlated in EVE.
