About a month ago, I set out on my first true solo roam. I ventured all the way to Ouelletta. I decided I'd try my luck at a Merlin I saw on scan. I scanned him down in a plex and warped to him. I land, and of course I am a ways from him. I start my micro warp drive and burn towards him. To my surprise, I caught and scrammed him. I orbited him tight. Shields gone, armor gone, now into structure. I hit D-scan once more to see if anyone was coming, dang it, frigates on scan. About fifteen Brave Newbies landed within 20km of us. I thought maybe I should hang on just a little bit longer and finish him. To be safe I started aligning to something to escape. 20km, 18km, 15km, I warp away, there is just too many. I being to make my way home, completely and utterly disgusted and disappointed.
I did learn a few things...
One - I knew to align to something and get out before I got caught.
Two - I strongly dislike blobs.
Three - Brave Newbies come in hoards of at least five
and Four - I dislike blobs.
Totally bummed about my near first solo PvP kill I stroll back into Adirain. I check local and see someone I did not recognize. I go to my safe and hit scan. Venture comes up on scan. - Yes, I will shoot something today! I find him in at Planet Ten Belt One mining. I threw up my "Illegal Mining Detected" gif in local mid warp and catch him. He yells something at me in local in a language I don't understand, whatever don't care I just want to take out my frustration from the Merlin that stupidly got away from me. Popped his ship and then sent him quickly back to where ever he came from....... sweet.
I docked up and unload my loot. Within five mins I see the pilot is back to attempt mining again, or so I thought. I thought to my self, really? After what just happened you're back for more? Are you back to collect your stuff? I undock and was about to warp back to where I first caught him. I hit D-scan and to my surprise he is in..... a Rifter? At first I thought, oh this could be bad, he probably brought friends (still paranoid from the blob experience from earlier) I check local, ah screw it, I'm going for it. He was right back where right where I first caught him. I caught him again, and started shooting. I look down to see if I would have to warp off to not loose my Slasher or my pod. Shockingly, my Slasher was so fast - he couldn't hit me. I popped him again and sent him on another fast trip back to where he come from.
Stunned and amazed at what just happened the only thing I could do was smile.
