Never move ships when you’re in a hurry. Especially not into unknown systems with kickout stations.

Yesterday I decided to gung ho it and move my carrier. Was a little tired, on my way to bed and set up the cyno too close to station which meant i bounced 24km off the blasted thing. It’s exciting to do 1+km/s with a carrier lol.

A Rapier uncloaks on the undock (guess they camp it since its a kickout) and proceeds to light a cyno. Ganktime commences with 10 or so carriers that neut the snot out of me and reduce my wreck to a smoldering heap.

Good times.

Well, as long as I learn from this and:

1. Dont move stuff before going to bed, do it with a clear mind
2. Wait for other alliance and get input and experienced help with moving the fkn carrier, even though we become red in current location
3. Didnt want that carrier anyways

Nothing big, but last night I made my first ever captial ship cyno jump! It was quite the rush since I was docked in a station that I thought was a kick out station.

A corpmate of my alt’s lit a cyno i a closeby low sec system and I undocked. 20 looong seconds went by until I could choose jump to in the cyno.

I landed perfectly and could dock without incident. Talk about anti climax!

On Scrapheap Challenge, they have an interesting discussion about how to not to get your carrier killed right away.

It’s a good read and I really recommend it to anyone trying to become a better EVE-player.
