Likewise, really. I'm definitely looking forward to some more of these and seeing what I can learn from them. Here's to more, mate.

The thing I've noticed in EVE is that there is often opportunity to practice tactics. It's why I enjoy Fleet Command, and why I am relishing this opportunity to work with Wensley.

Usually, it's just blogs that scram and web you, then you die. Hard to learn from that honestly.

So yeah, I look forward to our little contests, and what tactics we learn from each other along the way.

It really is pretty much too close to call. Looking at our skills we're almost identical in this regard and the deciding factors were my use of heat and Roc allowing me to get in close. I did cap out quickly but that's because I was unnecessarily overloading my repair systems. I think future fights will be a lot closer and involve more tactical shenanigans. I certainly have some things I want to try…

Good fight though I'm not sure I could have predicted it. Roc doesn't really speak of combat much in his blog so could have been the dark horse in this engagement. No doubt Wensley has the experience and would have been expected to win but I don't think it was a foregone conclusion.

Was just watching your drone replay again, and realized if I had overheated, you would've been cap drained much earlier. Hmmm, I have some interesting ideas to try also.

Hee hee. I predicted (to myself) accurately how this would turn out. Wens is the King of the Rifters

Well, I couldn't have you distorting the truth now, could I? Plus now you can see the fight from my perspective. Looking forward to more of this. I have lots of ideas I want to test on you.

*grumbles at camera drone footage

Was a good fight, pirate. I'm sure we'll learn much from each other.
