Eviwyn | The Wandering Druid of Tranquility

It’s siggie time!

EVE Online is so much more fun when you are part of a corporation and/or an alliance. In our alliance, we have a wonderful pilot in Hellcats, Eviwyn. She has a blog as do many of our members, however, her talents are not limited to pvp and writing.

She’s also a talented digital artist.  Below is a forums signature that she made for me out of the blue:

Ga'len's New Signature

Ga'len's New Signature

So, what’s the deal with the Y!HAA and the the cowboy riding the Loki?  It’s a reference to my silliness and a homage to that famous scene from the movie, Dr. Strangelove, where he rides the nuclear weapon into obilivion. In my case the loss of a Loki to an obvious bait trap that I very nonchalantly responded to, “Well, it’s an obvious trap, the next step?  Spring the trap”, and thus I died in a blaze of fail.

Regardless of the inspiration for the banner, I like it and I’m using it from now on.  It’s just cool looking, isn’t it?

Monday Night relaxations

For those of you who have noticed, I’ve added links to my sidebar for my fellow Hellfleet bloggers as well as created a Google feed for the Hellfleet.

One my fellow alliance mates, Eviwyn, has been writing up a storm. We’ve been flying a lot lately and I tell ya, it’s been a blast.

Last night, I came home from work felling worn out. Lot’s of stuff going on and I was in a bit of a foul mood. If you work in the Information Technology field, you know what I mean, “Standard Issue Monday” stuff.

So, I get home, the missus makes a lovely dinner and after we snooze a bit on the couch, I am wanting to sort out some stuff on the computer. I of course, log into EVE.

Evi is online in one of our hunting grounds. Not much is going on, so I head out to the belts beyond scan. Hmm….capsule and a Megathron. Could be interesting. I narrow down the mega and say, what the hell, I engage.

Suddenly, my cap is going away faster than I would think. Yup, he’s got a neut. So, this fellow is ratting in low sec in a Megathron with a neut and T1 large drones. Wow, here comes the web and warp disruptor.

I am thinking, this must be bait. I alert Evi that I think it’s bait, but nothing else comes into the belt save for a local friend in his Stabber. He sees me and enages the mega. Awesome, some help. I say frak it and tell Evi to join the fray.

Another few minutes goes by and local does not spike. Okay, he’s not bait, full dps and kill the guy. Del’s stabber goes pop and the mega’s heavy drones lay into me. I set my drones on his and he pulls them back. Good, just keep the guns and point on him and he’s mine, except I am capped out again from the neut. No points on him, he can warp out. But…he stays.

Evi lands and puts a point on him. We continue to work him down, attacking his drones as they come out to play and finally, he goes pop.

Yup, that’s a Tusker that on that kill, he lost his atron to this guy one belt back. Funny how the mega pilot did not take the hint that this space was not ‘safe’ for him.

We exchange good fights in local, he tells us when we ask why he did not warp out.

Needless to say, I still love my Vagabond. An Bealach an Vaga to the end!
