Dear C&P,
i was asked to tell you this story and was pointed here.
So prepare for some bad written wall of text.
I started around 8 days ago playing EvE. For now i use a Venture (i got some isk in Rookie Help) for mining while i read guides or what Eveiseasy on youtube. 2 or 3 days ago i was invited into a chatchannel from people i didn't know before. Here i was able to toss questions a lot (which was and still is awesome).
Yesterday I jumped into my Venture and warped to the belt in my startersystem (there is only one). There was a hulk (impressive ship! flown by a 2 years+ old player) with a freigther container (i believe) right besides him. The container was yellow on overview. Never seen before. Tossed a question. Recieved the hint to check the container. Taking mined our is faster then mining on your own. After i realised that "green safety-mode" wont work i switched to "defcon orange". I filled my ore-hauld and warped back to station. My cargo-window told me that i had almost 900k isk in my hold. After my 2nd run i learned that i can bookmark containers. So i almost emptied the container (i only let 800m-¦ inside), docked up and went afk (also to get rid of the yellow timer in the top left corner). Half an hour later i come back and was happy to see there is more free ore (yay). Sadly i only took 2 more runs before he realized what happens. He started a convo and talked with me in cyrillic which i dont understand i started to thank him for the free ore and if he can mine some more - because this is kind of the help we noobies need.
He sent me 100k bounty.
Somehow the guys (and lads?) in the channel thought that-¦s very funny and told. As the hulk locked me they told me to dock up and get some things (shopping list was: tristan, warp scrambler, web, 2 small armor repairs, damage control, neutron blasters, anti matter).
I kept "chatting" with the hulkpilot (no idea if he was able to understand me) and warped back in to the container. He instantly locked me up (my tristan was renamed "Venture" as i was told) and launched 2 hobgoblins I. Then a window popped up "Pilot_X wants to duell you" (or so). I accepted and parked right besides him. The two drones were webbed and fast killed by my guns while the scrambler did some nice gfx on the hulk. as he moved slowly away i kept on following him and also activated the web. Slowly but steady i kept hitting him with my blasters. Chat-guys said he did probably run out of cap because after the 2nd reload his shield started to drop faster.
He sent me 1m bounty.
I typed in the convo that i would stop shooting for 150m. As the hulk entered the last 25% armor there was a message about self-destruction and a pod appeared on overview. He warped off and i popped the hulk (i was told afterwards that i should have said a word so someone had come to hijack the vessel *sigh*).
He sent me another 50m bounty.
So in total i had 20 minutes of mining, 30 minutes of pure fun and earned myself 30m ISK. That-¦s the opportunity i-¦d like to see in the tutorial. I-¦m 8 days old, not a single skillpoint was trained (as Lynni is supposed to be a passive-income char; i also got an Lynni + 1 day old combat char (security missions)).
There are still a couple questions that are unanswered: - can i shoot the rescuepod in a duell? - why is there not a killreport? people told me that should be something i'm able to link to them - I'm pretty sure i saw the 51.1m bounty yesterday ingame... but on eve-gate it tells me 0 isk bounty - i had some serious adrenaline rush and heavy heartbeating as i started my guns. I almost was not able to lock those drones up - had to zoom quite far out. WTF is this?
Oh... as i forgot to mention it: If this is what eve can be like... HELLO WORLD! |

Realized yesterday that i indeed got a killreport. No idea when it popped up. If aynone is interrested in the can-mining-hulk-kill, please send me an evemail. I-¦ll answer with linkage in few hours (it-¦s offcie time right now :))
EDIT: Nevermind. I try to put the kill to the killboard and just link it into my post above. |
