I'm a miner in null, in a Procurer, for a split second I did the dumb thing of not looking at my local.
Two people jump in, notice and I'm on my way to warping off.
Get tackled by one, other jumps in to do the same, omg I'm dead.
Ready to die in a fire, thinking more will now jump in or that their partner is on a PWN ship.
Noticed they are both Taranis, set out drones in hopes of being a pain before I die.
Start killing one of the Taranis, omfg there is no back up for them
Undock Dominix to warp in on their butts.
That 39k EHP tank on my mining ship, so good.
They start warping off, I stand there confused, start to giggle.
Type good fight in local.
They never reply.
I'm an idiot for getting caught, I'm giddy for getting out of it because they had poor planing. |

You did good.
Most miners would just freeze up and watch themselves die. You took it back to them. Gratz.
Mr Epeen There are 86,400 seconds in a day. You just saved one of them by typing 'u' instead of 'you'.-á Congratulations, dumbass! |

I lost all hope, before I thought "Well I'm going to die anyway, why not put up a fight?" So glad I did, freezing up and giving all hope, to the point I don't even try to live; would have just been the wrong choice.

Yeah, I'm not sure what I would have done if something with more HP and damage was on me. Could a tanked fit, Sentry Dominix even help at that point? |

Now imagine what you could do with a mobile depot handy to refit a Warp Disruptor and Drone Damage Augmentors quickly, maybe a web also. And laugh evily.... Especially if you have several Procurers in belt together to have a drone ball. Interceptor pilots will learn to fear Miners. |

Not only would you be fighting back, you'd win ;) There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

Nice job. Miners in hi sec need to follow your example versus that new order crap. I just turned into an egg, did I level up? I spent an hour trying to salvage a wreck, when in local a guy said "Stop it, this is my Tempest, I was AFK" |

Bollocks. I enjoy a spot of mining, but don't have any alts. The list of ships that have got on grid but failed to catch my hulk is long and includes sabres warping to station to bubble up any runners without pings. OP had the best tanked mining ship versus fail gank setup (2 taranis? please) AND a combat alt.
Maybe by most miners you mean most hisec adrenaline-makes-me-fat-finger sort of miners. No amount of low quality attacks or good quality defense can save them.

Kudo's for fighting back, yes Procurers really rock when it comes to being able to defend themselves.

I started to undock my combat alt after they started to warp off. As soon as I retabbed to my Miner, they were disappearing off my screen.
Also you are right, Being in the second tankest mining ship in the game and against fail gankers? No big deal.
Just that I didn't know they were fail and I expected to get mobbed to hell. I just thought I was going to die, it was the first time being in a fightable situation, when often it's 1v5. It was the first time since I got Tech 2 drones and Tech 2 defenses, that I've been attacked.
I admit to doing the number one mistake in null, not eyeing local like a hawk, but I'm just happy I didn't lose my ship.
I always hear stories about people multiboxing mining toons and making an would be gankers run off with their tails between their longs. I think I just got the taste of it and I'm just really hyped.
Though I'm pretty sure the game is going to get back at me for being so happy and things will go horribly, horribly wrong. |

nice. "CCP is changing policy, and has asked that we discontinue the bonus credit program after November 7th. So until then, enjoy a super-bonus of 1B Blink Credit for each 60-day GTC you buy!"
Never forget. |

A friend of mine baited and killed a Cynibal in a bait Skiff once. There were other people in warp to him to help at the time but he started shouting over coms "No guys, leave him be! I got this!". It was glorious.
Anyway, shame they didn't 'gf' in local. |

Worst Taranis pilots ever?
CCP, trading shiny pictures for playability since 2003.. EvE, a cutting edge game. The only game to provide Matrix style gameplay for the masses! (trouble is, most people don't have 9 hours to waste on a one hour fight.) |

I know. When you learn that you aren't just a target, when you are used to being JUST the target, is a good day.
Though if I had to pick between warping off or fighting, I'll pick to warp off. Won't always run into the dumb ones...or someone who isn't ready to hot drop once you commit. |
