I lost my Stabber Fleet Issue last night. Another Tusker, Robert Mason, was in a Fed Comet and got pointed by a Cynabal in Onne. I was right there and couldn't pass up a chance to get in on this fight. Unfortunately it was a trap and a Veto gang jumped in. It didn't help that I forgot I had GCC and was taking aggro from sentry guns at the same time.
The results were predictable. What hurts even more is that I forgot that I had a bunch of loot in my hold so I lost about 30 mil worth of various junk. Ah well. Easy come, easy go. It was worth it to get a shot at a Cynabal.
After that debacle I went on a little solo roam in Placid. I took a short cut through a couple of Syndicate 0.0 systems and then remembered why I hate 0.0. There were freaking bubbles everywhere! I had my cloaky scout with me so I was able to avoid them but they are a serious pain. Cheetah FTW!
Once I got back in lowsec I saw a Myrm on scan in Oulley. I took my Cheetah to a planet and dropped probes. Right as I did so, the Myrm showed up on my overhead. He was about 150km off the planet and was sitting there with Ogre drones orbiting him. Hmmm...
I cloaked up and used my probes to get a 100% lock on him. Then I warped Buck over in his Jag and landed right on top of him. It was a fun fight even if it was pretty one-sided. He was stabbed but my scram overrode that. He kept breaking my lock so I figured he was ECM fit. However I had a fast locking ability so each time it went off, I would relock him before he could align to warp out. He put up a good fight but the ending was inevitable.
I can only imagine how frustrating it was for him to be stabbed and ECM fit and yet still die to a solo ship. Of course I noticed that the ship was tri-tanked so he may have been too new to really know what was even going on.
I love it when they fit one stab! Had one guy telling me the other day that his game was bugged cos his Thorax with one stab couldn't warp away. I felt like bashing my head against the wall after trying to 'be nice' and explain it to him that my scram beats one stab. Lol.
