Rifter Drifter

Armour HACs have become the defacto fleet in null security space. With a strong Guardian spider tank and tiny signature radiuses they are pretty much impervious to any form of damage. Guns have a hard time killing them before the Guardians can get their reppers running and bombs are completely useless against such a small signature radius. Our forums have been full of people trying to come up with solid counters and at the same time adapt the tactic to our own needs. It looks like Agony Unleashed have managed to come up with a solution, though. Full details can be found on the Eve Online forums.

Footage is taken from The Battle for D-GTMI by Leon Mustapha. Music is “Uprising” by Muse.

The new trailer for Dominion is here. Other than the fact that was obviously made before the Supercarrier/Mothership changes were rolled back it is probably my favourite Eve trailer yet. Kind of makes me want to get involved in nullsec warfare.

As always you can download high definition versions from the Eve Online site.

In other news I’ve been having some fun playing on SiSi and Dramiels, Ruptures, and Hurricanes are definitely my favourite toys now.

That damned talented bastard Prometheus has been at it again. Frigank 6 is out. Download, enjoy, and bask in the glory of the laser Vigil.

Thanks to everyone who enjoyed Inconceivable. The good news is that the sequel is now up and ready for your viewing pleasure. Head across to the Eve Online forums page and grab a copy. Just like before there’s a whole bunch of solo Rifter piracy with a little bit of sexy faction and some gang stuff thrown in for good measure.

I hope you enjoy it!

There are a couple of very cool videos up on the MyEve forum at the moment. I’m pretty sure anyone who reads this will love them, especially the Minmatar pilots amongst you.

Disintigrated features Disintigrator flying Tempests, Hurricanes, Jaguars, Claws, and Rifters. Most of the action takes place in null sec but there’s plenty of solo carnage to whet even the most bloodthirsty Sebestior’s appetite. His Claw piloting in particular is an absolute delight. I have the parts on order to change my current afterburner Claws into a proper dogfighting interceptor so I can have a go at emulating him.

Negative Eleven shows, amongst other ships, quite how amazing the Jaguar can be when you pimp it out a bit. Mezzik spends plenty of cash on his fittings but I do like the look of the small shield booster setup rather than the more traditional passive tanks. With the price of assault frigate hulls being what it is a couple of deadspace modules are probably worth it just to keep the thing alive.

Its good to see the small Minmatar ships getting plenty of video love. It shows I’m not alone in appreciating their power and flexibility.

After plugging various videos that I’ve enjoyed watching, its time to reverse the trend a bit. May I present to you ‘Inconceivable’, my first foray into proper Eve video making.

Thanks to Ka Jolo for creating The Tuskers and fostering such a brilliant corporation, all of The Tuskers for being great guys and top pilots, Ess Erbe for the donation of the Stabber Fleet Issue, Chribba for hosting at Eve Files, and everyone that I fought regardless of whether I lost or won. Sorry I didn’t remember to start record for all the fights that don’t feature in this.

Please head over to the thread on Eve Online and leave a comment so I know what you thought of it. If you liked it and want to see more then donations are always very gratefully accepted.

Former Tusker Kor Anon has finally got round to releasing his Maller video. Most people think of the Maller as a tanky brick. Kor will definitely change your mind about this ship.

Edit: Damn, I can’t embed EveTube videos here

Edit the Second: You can check out the discussion thread on the Eve Online forums. Give a great pilot and great video a bump

Last night I had the privilege of leading the Tuskers into battle. We formed up at 2000 EVE and headed out in search of adventure. You can read a full account of what transpired at The Tuskers Public Relations blog or just watch the video here.

As always thanks to the guys for turning up being such a great gang to fly with.
