Only few minutes later, the faction frigate still on scan I pulled myself together: Why should I rely on accidents happening here?
I'm a pirate damn it and every ship on scan is an accident waiting to happen!
Soon after I figured out which one was the warp button the warm vibrations of my warp drives caressed my butt - I was about to put myself in a belt hoping the Dramiel would join. Meanwhile I was building up my hate using a new technique I had been taught at a PTS workshop last tuesday, by imagining the Dramiel pilot chatting with his Dramiel buddies in a Dramiel pilots only channel, laughing about us non-Dramiel pilots. Boy, that got me angry! PVP, you know, is all about the right amount of hate and stuff.
In a fast german pirate faction ship, I'm amazed that I survived. An airbag saved my life! |
The hard part of killing a Dramiel with a Rupture is to actually hit it without dying first. It's even harder not to let them warp out once they see you refuse to die first. And the hardest part of them all is to see them actually do it. I cried when the Dramiel warped out in hull while my coward crew was relieved to live another day.
OK, there goes my plan to keep my blog posts short, simple and informative. I seem to have exhausted all my energy before I even started to write about what I set out to in the first place: How I killed that same Dramiel a few days later. This, much like the destruction of the faction frigate, will have to be postponed.
I have a suspicion that I know which Dramiel pilot you are talking of here, Mr Sobczynski. I've chased him around numerous times and he gets cocky in local and then whenever I fight him he warps off or burns out of range and . . . well yeah, just plain annoying!
ReplyDeletePS . . I think you should join the in-game channel . . Rifter Drifter. It is full of cool people, funnily enough, like you. :)

Uh uh, Dramiel bait! Don't caress your butt too much on those warpdrive vibrations, fellow pirates might get the wrong idea. All kinds of ideas.
ReplyDeleteI strongly believe that such a Dramiel-only Channel exists. Their sheer numbers suggests a community, or maybe even a cult. And the chat channel welcome message most likely would state, in highly mature manner: Lol rofl muhaha eat my dust @ all non-Dramiel pilots!
Looking forward to hear the rest of the story when the Dramiel finally went poof against all odds. Even though you told me the story already, it's much more fun to read it in a bloggish manner with many Pator Tech School powerpoint slides shaping it up.
