BTW Digby, I did create a char named Cayne Jobb. I am not playing him right now though. You can only have one char actively training skills at a time so I am playing my original char.

Here's a shot of Cayne.

That game so needs space hookers.

Everything's better with space hookers .

I've been playing pretty safe since I stared Eve, but tonight I though I'd get a little adventurous and see if I could scan down a wormhole and go into it and see what was there. It took me about 15 minutes to scan, move probes and scan again and again and again before I go t a lock on the wormhole entrance. I warped to it and sat there staring at it and debated the pros and cons of entering. I decided to brave it.

Once inside wormhole space, I started scanning for something interesting to explore. I found an anomaly that could end up giving me some good loot, but before I could warp to it I noticed half my shields were gone in a split second. AMBUSHED!

Another player had been stalking me and he warped to me, uncloaked and then unloaded on me. OUCH! I tried to fight back. I released my three wimpy drones. He blew them away like they were nuthin'. I activated my four missile launchers, but they probably felt like nats to him. Before I knew it my shields were gone and my armor was failing fast. I had fired a dozen or so missiles, but his shields were still at +90% and in the time it took me to notice that I wasn't doing any damage to him, my armor was gone and all that was keeping me from the cold of space was the thin skin of my ship. I tried to warp to the wormhole exit, but he had me jammed (I knew I should have fitted the warp core stabilizer instead of the cargo bay extender!) and then the explosion. Ship gone and I am sitting in my pod. Luckily it takes a while to get a lock on someones pod and I was able to warp to the wormhole exit and make it back to my station. Whew! If he would have been able to shoot my pod and kill me, I would have awaken in my clone with a massive loss of skills. It would have been like being set back a month of skill training. So losing 10+ million in game money hurts, but I can afford it. I hope I run into this guy in a couple of months so I can give him a good fight.


One thing I like about Eve is that you can get Kill Mail with all the details of the fight.

Ouch!

[Spooky]

One of my Eve characters. I think he looks pretty trusting, don't you? 

[TinkTanker]

Looks like he's too dumb to blow up the ship.

Well he is from Alabama!

No doubt an Auburn fan then.
