Another One Bites the Dust

So, the Privateer war is over, but peace was short lived as we got decced by Red Rising and now Band of Bastards. Our fleet took a little trip looking for Red Rising last night to open the war, but our war targets didn't feel like playing. So, we took a little trip and ended up in Low Sec, where we got hotdropped on by some happy carriers. I was flying my Raven, and it got webbed, scrammed, and I was 12-15km off the gate moving at around 10 m/s. End result is one more dead Raven.

I'm starting to think I should only fly Drakes and Scorpions in fleet operations. Nobody targets the Drake, and I seem to have stupidly good luck flying a Scorpion. Only lost one once, and that was when I was flying with Slackers, Inc. during my brief trip into Faction Warfare. Given how quickly Scorpions are called primary, I'm amazed I don't die in that ship more often.

It's kind of annoying, because I'd like to actually1) see a valid target and 2) is not immediately be melted due to superior firepower. I'm rather confident in my ship's loadout, but 6 carriers, plus Command Ship, Falcon, Battleship, and other support is gonna melt me before I can do much of anything. Yep, it's my thirst to do significant amounts of damage rising up. But, the pirates had superior firepower by far, so hats off to them.

Fortunately, I made it home in my pod without incident. So, that's good news. I'm also pondering the idea of starting up a miner character on an alt to start earning some ISK. Station trading isn't that exciting to me, I'm afraid, and though my trip into trading has been profitable, it's not that interesting.
