The 3rd Basgerin Pirate Chronicle; moving up in ranks.
Recently I have been doing well... very well. I have been killing in a very high killed isk to lost isk ration, meaning that I am destroying way more expensive shit than I have been losing. I have been soloing battleships (and some of their support) in my Myrmidon, and this makes me feel good about myself. I know that I have 3 solo battleship kills, but I only remember 2 of them (I blame my memory on drinking, I am a pirate after all).
The first one I remember was when I was killing a drake, now I had found this thing in an empty system sitting at 0 on a moon. I was trying to figure out if he was bait when I went for him. I locked him down and was slowly getting through his shields when I saw some dude from a corp that likes to lose ships to Bas Pirates come into local. This guy was a nub in an armageddon, so I wasn't worried. So the arm gets to our moon just as I a finishing off this drake, decent tank for no rigs and good damage, and the arm starts shooting. at this point I'm running on almost no cap boosters and adrenaline. A Lunchbox, a corp mate of mine who I'm speaking with on vent, tells me to GTFO, I say: "I crush" and proceeded to fight the arm, in my myrm, with I think 3 cap boosters.
He actually jammed me a few times and could have escaped, but was too stupid to. I am almost finished with his armor (I did crush) when I have no cap boosters, about 50% armor and about 15% capacitor. I shut down everything non-essential, and even that is not enough, my warp disruptor turns off, I turn it back on, it turns back off, I get it online once more to hold him, just as I finish off his structure. This dude has lost a fair amount of shit to me, and that loss is just humiliating. Since then I have not seen him in anything bigger than a battlecruiser.
(Just remembered my second battleship solo...lol)
So I am hunting some miners in a fun system not far from Basgerin, I keep getting so close to getting these annoying fucking miners, when they get away. They decide to bring in 2 friends as protection for them, their CEO and a member, CEO is in a hyperion, a ship I respect greatly, and their other member is in a hurricane, a ship I know I can take. Somehow we get to talking a lot of shit, no only from my side, and me and Po3tank get bored to we leave. I log back on a while later and decide to go back to the system they were mining at, where I find them on scan.
I warp to the belt I assume they are at, and as it turns out, they are there. I fully expect to lose my myrm to the hyp, but I hope to get the cane and a retriever first, then its worth it. I warp in, point 1 of the 2 retrievers, and try to kill the other retriever I didn't point before it gets out. The one I don't have a point on gets out and I take down the one pointed, 1/3 possible targets down. I move on to the second target, the cane, and I start taking him out when I think to myself, their damage sucks, probably cause the hyp is 25 km away. The cane falls, I move on to the hyp, for some reason he stuck around while I murdered his friends, at this point I'm outrepping this battleship with 1 repper, sweet.
I get the hyp in disrupter range, and hold him down, and this dude in the hyp was both the CEO of this gay little corp, and the primary shit talker earlier. he takes a little time to burn through, but as I'm nearing structure, his corp mates ask me how much to let him go, I'm still pissed anyone thinks they could out-shittalk me, so I throw out 200 mill, way ore than his shits worth. They say no, I say crush, I do crush, and there goes 3/4 ships in their mining op, asta lavista, bitches!
I'm talking to the cane pilot afterwards (the most chill of the 4), at this point the rest ran with their tails between their legs, and I say: "I expected that to be a suicide, and I had hoped for a better fight off the hyp." he says: "Me too". Lol his 2-3 year old CEO is a nub. GTFO bitch, this is my house.
This was a kill I got about 20 min before my 3rd battleship solo. I am messing around in a system near my home Basgerin, on my solo exodus on my way to become a full, master pirate. The kills I have been getting in other systems have paid off and I am almost a Bas Pirate Master Pirate, an equal to the elite members.
So I am in my own myrm scanning for another myrm when I warp to where I see him on scan. He warps in on my planet just as I warp out, fucker! I tell him to fight me in local, and that I will win which he laughs at, so I fleet him and tell him to warp to me. After some goading, he finally does, at like 25 off. He gets drones on me and I burn it to him, and he's doing crap damage. I get my guns on him and rip him a new one when he gets out ecm drones and jams me, he trys to warp off, but I catch him again and pop his ass. His fitting was a fail and he tried to give me some bullshit about it being a gate killing fitting (it was terrible and expensive), so I give him some pointers, and tell him some tricks to use next time and such (he's 3 months older than me). Whatever, he's still a nub.
3rd battleship solo:
So I just finished off this myrm, when I go back to the lowsec right next door and dock, change ships and decide to play a little in my ishkur. I suddenly see a raven and an arbitrator on scan, so I find them at an anomaly and warp in. They were running it and salvaging it for fun, so I warp out my ish, dock up, and get the myrm and go back to the anom I had bookmarked.
Nothing there. I just hoped to myself that they were dropping off salvage and coming back for more, I turn out to be right. I tell Meskalin over vent that I'm gonna kill a raven. This raven warps in first, I lock him down and go all out. He's doing ok damage, and I'm burning through cap boosters, then the arbitrator warps in. I shoo him away with my drones while I hit up the raven some more with my guns, and keep up the damage.
After a while the arbitrator come back, and I am almost through the raven's shields. I focus on the raven this time, with no cap boosters left, and finally he's into armor. From there it was easy, and once I finished I got out with 22% structure left and no capacitor. I went to a safe spot and came back and scooped the loot. As I'm taking my reward, I see the raven pilot come back in a nub ship, I love it when they do that. He leaves as he sees me, and I decide to throw out a friendly "good fight" in local, to which the arbitrator pilot responds: "bullshit". I agree, it wasn't quite fair, next time that should have another battleship or battlecruiser at least.
Enjoying my myrm greatly, as usual, like I do with all of my nice kills. The myrm, with the right skills, can be an incredible ship, by the way that raven had 2 shield rigs on him. I crush, I am Osiris, lord of the dead. Fear me.
