I'm personally convinced you'll never learn (I don't even know how you can feel patronizing toward eve-uni players with just how little your apparent understanding of the game is), but hey, its a good thing I'm not in charge of the decision-making around here. You're absolutely right about the self-evidence of the entire thing being a bad idea. Edit: I got your message about being patronizing on a second reading. Making fun of E-UNI has been fun for me just because I find their rigid doctrine ridiculous, but the truth is that many of them are a lot better than I am. Nobody from E-UNI was involved in this episode but I'm clearly in no position to talk. I'll tone it down. In this specific instance, I think I know some of the bad choices I made, including the ones you listed and others I haven't talked about because I'm still stinging from the loss and I'm just not ready to tell the whole story in all of its idiotic glory. I probably did a number of other things wrong too that I'm not yet aware of, but I don't have a fire lit under me to have that conversation because as you point out my first mistake was being in that position at all. My comment about the ship and the fit predating Hatchery was just to point out that for me personally it represents a way to play the game that I'm not interested in participating in anymore. It wasn't to explain away or excuse the whole thing. | ||

Sadly when lysenko said that he knows he shouldnt be flying anythng bigger than a frigate because hes just that bad, he didn't know exactly how bad he was and figured he should use his shitfit mach (because its basically a frig right?). The most horrible thing about pilots like this is because they are in hatch they have access to the knowledge of how to make infinite money (faction war) so losses like this don't cripple them nearly as much as they should. Funny part is I actually know the guy who killed him and he loves doing the noobship finishing blow for a bunch of kills. He normally has to wait until the pilot ejects but given that lysenko actually undocked a mach in the first place with his current level of knowledge of game mechanics, the ninja might have been able to do it without an eject needed. | ||

I haven't gotten a hold of a hatchery director yet in game but I am on a 14day trial. I'm guessing that's what you mean by correct joining route? If not I can start over and what not. I don't lose that much time. No biggie. | ||

Heres the short version: Lysenko realizes he has a shitfit mach, and despite missions being a horribly sub par way of making isk, as well as him being as war he thinks its a good idea to use the ship. He then gets baited by a ninja, and because hes completely retarded he shoots the ninja. After a quick tackle and orca bump ninja is now in an apoc and killing the mach. Once the mach does into structure apoc swaps to noobship to finish for the lol killmail. You're about 95% right. What actually happened is as soon as he went red I warped out, then I had time to get irritated and go back because I figured I'd land around 70km from him and be able to kill him (huge mistake number 2, number 1 being using the mach in the first place.) Turns out that wasn't the case. Edit: I know that it wasn't necessary to warp out. Earlier in the day, though, I'd been scanned down by one of the more aggressive E-UNI people in a Hurricane and warped out in that case, so I was hypersensitive and reacted without checking whether the guy was a war target or just a ninja. I ended up sitting there pointed and webbed for literally 10 minutes with this tackle merlin, neither of us able to make any progress on each other's tank. My drones weren't really making a dent, he wasn't running out of cap, and my shields were regenerating faster than he could damage me. Finally an Orca and a Loki (the Loki I'm guessing had been sitting there cloaked) pop up at about 200km and start slowly approaching. At this point I'm trying to think of options. I have no idea what's in the Orca but I figured he wouldn't have a plan without something likely to do pretty well against me. When they hit about 90 km I decided to eject, figuring he'd either be tempted to take the ship (in which case no embarrassing killmail) or maybe (because I didn't know exactly how that worked) I might not get a killmail even if he destroyed it. (Turns out this was not the case.) I never saw the ship he used for the kill. Sadly when lysenko said that he knows he shouldnt be flying anythng bigger than a frigate because hes just that bad, he didn't know exactly how bad he was and figured he should use his shitfit mach (because its basically a frig right?). I'd used that Mach for so long and it was so familiar that that comfort level completely supplanted any fear of bad outcomes. It's the same reason that the Space Shuttle engineers got used to the idea of launching in sub-freezing weather before the Challenger accident -- "well, we've done it before, and it's never been a problem so far." As for why I was out there in the first place, the reasons were senseless and I'm not doing it again. | ||
