Yesterday I was ratting and I wound up loosing a drake and later a buzzard when trying to save part of my loot… Triple 1,8 M rat spawn oneshotting a frig anyone?

So i was sitting there, one ratting drake short and a wad of insurance cash in my pocket. Buying a cheap drake from the corp was the first remedy and then I used my other char to do some shopping in hisec. One of our corp carriers was going up to hisec for a little provisions run and I managed to squeeze a medium secure can in with fittings for the return trip.

Having finished all this, I saw an Atlas-member trying to sell a rigged Raven in local. After a short convo, I was the happy owner and could get it in a neighbouring system. One thing about this game that shows I’m still is a beginner is the darker side of the game. After accepting the contract I couldn’t find the raven and my corpmates obviously screamed scam and laughed. Luckily enough, the raven was a few jumps out and I could get it without any trouble.

A few moments of comedy though. First, not renaming the raven and undocking caused quite a stir among our blues since they saw it on scanner and thought it was a neut undocking. A few explanations later in intelchannels and I was off.

The other comedy moment was when the seller of the Raven congratulated us on the ganking of a fellow called Booster Rooster. He was apparently not that liked and he was just hanging back farming spawns rather than joining the others on PVP-ops.

After trying the raven a little, I was not that impressed with the DPS but the tank seems to more than enough to take on tripple BS-spawns.

Today, I was out running a mission in my trusty Dominix and all of a sudden I get a brainfart and goes to the kitchen and starts doing the dishes, puts on some coffee etc.

When I returned to the computer, of course, I was idling in my pod with a bunch of baddies around.

It didn’t bother me that much, for the ISK, but it bothered me that it’s the fourth or fifth ship that I’ve lost in about two months. Not to pirates or anything, just sloppy gaming.

Maybe I need something new?
