Life in lowsec

It's been several days since I moved in to lowsec. Logistics is a pain. Even owning a freighter and a jump freighter, buying stuff, moving, fitting, some more moving, it's a nightmare. Nevertheless, I put together a ship that I wanted to try out for awhile - cloaky smartbombing proteus.

I've been flying around to get some kills. I scored my first one quite successfully.


Impressive, I know. Unfortunately there were a lot of targets that I missed. Sometimes I do not know what I am doing wrong. Seems like I activate my smartbombs exactly same time when pod or shuttle gets in range, but they just pass by without issue. Go figure.

Thug life chose me


I'm already below -5. Highsec is closed for me now. I won't be able to bring a ship with me now. Let's see how fast I can get to -10. Killing few pods should help. Location where I live might not be perfect. There are so many gates and so many options for pilots to fly to. Usually when I watch them warp, by the time I align after I fall behind few seconds, even with superior warp. I need to change my game. Perhaps roam further out. I am pretty sure I will soon screw up and will die horribly. Even with multiple scouts.

I also need to do some gatecamping, but so far, corp doesn't seem to be much into that stuff. Perhaps they just need a little push. Sometimes we get quite a lot of traffic, sometimes nothing at all. We also need to take care of constant hot droppers roaming around, but that's always a risk. Just need to play it smart. Anyways, I have capability of doing solo camping, but if ship is fitted with afterburner, I will not be able to kill it in time before he burns back to gate. I will follow up as I go. It's been hard to find much time for play lately.
