Originally I was going to buy a freighter, but then I looked at the prices. Yikes! How about an Orca... hmmm, still pretty expensive. So I settled on a new Bustard transport ship and bought some eccentric items for its cargo. Exotic dancers, spiced wines, some drugs, some antibotics, everything you need for a wild party.
Then I undocked.
And waited. And waited some more.
OH someone is targeting me! And then stopped.
Alright, maybe its not in full swing, I thought, it is only Friday evening. I tried again Saturday morning; same result. I tried again Saturday afternoon. No luck. Apparently its not "Burn Jita", its "Burn things in Jita worth our time and money" which I can kind of understand from a financial point of view but make me not as happy as pure anarchy and destruction would have.
So for the fourth try I decided to sweeten the pot of my untanked ship and bought a couple Succubus frigates to throw in the hold to make it more appetizing to the number crunching suicide gankers out there.
That worked! I was scanned and locked by multiple Thrashers and the rounds smashed into my ship with abandon. Soon I was a wreck and I docked up satisfied that I was part of the event.
I wonder who got the Succubus? |
I am sadly disappointed at the low ratio of exotic dancers in your cargo.
ReplyDeleteAnd where is the low hanging roe ?
Yeah, the Thrasher gank fleet, which wasn't up very often, was out for fun and cool kill mails, as opposed to the tornado fleet, which clearly had a mandate to get high value trophy freighters only.
ReplyDeleteI had multiple shuttles pop; I assume for being in IT.
ReplyDeleteWhy a Bustard instead of a simply Badger? Thinking a T2 ship more likely to get popped?
ReplyDeleteMainly for making a splash. A Tech1 industrial was too pedestrian.
ReplyDelete"Synthetic coffee" -- they have Starfucks in Jita now too?
ReplyDeleteThe janitor lived, lucky bastard.
