Live Journal just ate a really nerdy post a moment ago. So I’m going to take this chance to type it out again 🙂
I’ve spent the past couple of days either in work or in Eve. Unfortunately Eve isn’t a lovely young lady but ya know.
So anyway it’s now ONLY WAR! There is no ceasefire and it has all kicked off big time. When I logged on, I was docked in my usual berth, however the system was controlled by a large enemy force. Thanks to our scouts we got them clear of the station and flew an Interceptor with double MWD straight through a mine field, clearing it so that a not small amount of battleships (BS) could undock and retake the system. Retake it we did!!
I spent some time the other night commanding a fleet of about 35 ships. We had a whole load of firepower, at least 20 battleships and the rest were support ships. We were regrouping after a night of harsh losses and enemy forces deep inside our space. It ended up in a little bit of blob wars for a while, both fleets sitting in neighbouring systems trying to get the deepest red blob for number of ships in space. We had about 10 extra ships and the numbers in BS too. So we moved to a jumpgate, we could afford to loose a couple of ships on the way in and we would too, they were setup perfectly for defence. Of course as soon as we got our armour tanked ships and EEW ready to jump, they ran. Our numbers were close on 2 on 1 at that stage and they ran.
It was a shame, it would have been a glorious fight and we were certainly quite disappointed about not getting to engage. So we had to settle for hunting down as many as we could and clearing much of our space. We got a few kills in along the way but by about 1am it was time to go and sleep. More as soon as I get home tonight.
Tonight with a bit of luck I get to go on the offence. We have plans, yes, yes we do.
Anyway that’s the end of the horribly nerdy part. Got my train tickets for Glastonbury sorted today and everything is all set for Download too. Bristol this weekend is looking more and more like it’s gonna be a hell of a lot of fun. Shame I can’t get some ONLY WAR in down there at the same time. Just have to make sure I have my ship somewhere safe and my skills going strong.
Minor success in work today. Finished off a small project which has been hanging around for a long time now. It wasn’t anything that major to fix, but it was awkward and required me to get some others to do stuff too which I hate. Actually on the whole today has been a good day. I’ve had exactly the response I wanted to every email I’ve sent and solved some issues.
And as the V has just reminded me, this day next week I’ll be off to see The Pixies. In fact right about now I’ll be running around very excited about it.
