Bubbled and Podded

It was bound to happen. My WH partner and I were not watching out directional and we got bubbled by the Phobos and killed. We tried to log-off the Orca, but it could not tank the damage.

They were fast to scan us down as I probably was off directional for 5-6 minutes.

We lost:

1x Hulk
1x Retriever
1x Orca, insured

Remote Repping

Posted: 2009-09-16 | Author: | Filed under: ships | Tags: , | 1 Comment

It came time to unlock another Rarefied Core Deposit so my partner and I took the Dominix in with two support cruisers. Both of them had a Remote Armor Repair module and a complement of Armor Repair Drones. The Dominix armor tank never went below 80%. The Sleeper BC’s did change targets 3 times and we had to warp the Cruisers out as they had limited tanks. I also lost 5x Ogre I drones as the sleepers took them out right away.

1x Sleepless Sentinel (BS)
2x Awakened Sentinel (BC)

vs

1x Dominix (BS)
1x Remote Repping Vexor (BC)
1x Remote Repping Hurricane (BC)

Thanatos BPC Purchased

Over the past few months, I have been trying to find a new direction for my main character. When I first started Eve, I wanted to run missions so I trained up for a Dominix with good blaster/drone skills. Missions got repetitive so I trained up Invention skills and started to do some Tech2 invention. Now, 15 months later, I want to put my main in a Carrier. It is going to cost around 2.5 B to get the skills, ship and insurance, but I think it will be fun.

Our Alliance is currently trying to claim space in nullsec, so I feel that having a Carrier will be an important support piece. We currently have sovereignty in 5 systems around The Initiative. (INIT.) and Atlas Alliance (ATLAS) territories in the Immensea region. No POS bashing has occured yet, most likely due to the upcoming sovereignty changes (CCP Abathur); I doubt any major Alliances are going to make power-plays until we know the full scope of the new mechanics.

Buying the BPO for a Billion or a researched BPO for 1.5+ B was out of the question so I headed to Jita. According to games.chruker.dk, ME10 is perfect for the BPC.  There were a lot of ME3 and ME5 BPCs in Jita 4-4 for around 40-60 M. After looking around, I found a exchange on a ME10 BPC for 50 M, *click*.

Jita 4-4, 50 M, ME10, PE1 Thanatos BPC.

Now, on to see if my corp/Alliance has any BPCs of the Capital parts so I can build the Carrier…
