Woah. My ship didn't explode. Twice.
I've been roaming a bit of lowsec again in my hookbill. I managed to reach 6 killmarks today! So that's 6 kills in this one ship, which of 4 were today.
Holy crap, my ships never stay running this long. I am flying back to base as I'm writing this, so I'm expecting it to blow up while writing, lol.
Anyway, I had two really close calls. One of them was with a Federation Navy Comet, that was really tough, because of the drones and it had also railguns. But I managed to keep my transversal high and avoid its shots.
It was in very rough shape after the fight, I had like sliver of hull left. But I managed to win this time. I then undocked again and went for more roaming.
Fly safe indeed.
I found someone ratting around with a Catalyst Navy Issue and managed to catch it unaware, then just made it go boom. Simple enough, it could not fight back at all.
After that, I found a Cormorant Navy Issue that managed to also take me down to hull.. Another very close call. But I managed to fly under its guns and keep the transversal velocity really high again, so it couldn't track me anymore. I then just made sure to get rid of it, slowly but surely. But again my ship was on fire..!
I had such adrenaline rush today I had to just call it quits for now. Such an amazing feeling to win multiple fights with same ship.
Here's the killmails of today:
* https://zkillboard.com/kill/135273655/
* https://zkillboard.com/kill/135273811/ (The first one that got me to hull)
* https://zkillboard.com/kill/135273995/
* https://zkillboard.com/kill/135274086/ (The second that got me into hull)
The two other killmarks were from sunday.
More soon again, but now I need to calm down. My hands are shaking.
Fuck I love this game.
*Watch this thing spontaneously combust into massive ball of fire tomorrow when i undock lol, i try not to get attached to my ships (and this ships name is "Yolo")*
