Mega-Mission, friendly duel and a Ruppy kill.

Missioning in lowsec has its advantages. And disadvantages.
An EVE University pilot was caught off class and in Todifraun missioning. Todi is a system next to Evati, the system where the notorious Bastards live.
It was only a matter of time then for the pirates to scan down and locate the student vessel. Once they managed to pin down the mission location, the fleet warped in and immediately started applying DPS in order to get the Mega in low structure and try to ransom the pilot's ship.
"Well when ye deal wit' a 2 year barnacle-covered character, sailin' a Megathron on a mission, people need to understand that ye be not only ransomin' the vessel, ye be ransomin' the ship 'n POD". " ReBeL said. The pilot delayed payment and negotiated for 120 mil.
"We had' the lad exactly 'ere we wanted, we 'ere tryin' t' negotiate a price. But arr an EVE Uni fleet be close by an' run t' assist, so we had t' 'process' his ship smartly and run"!
He laughed loudly, having a look in his eyes like he was recalling moments of the fight and doing them all over again. While they where warping out, the enemy fleet was landing.
He then grabbed a chicken leg from a plate right in front of him, had a bite and concluded the story adding that "The POD was let go as th' the blob be comin' in so we had t' get th' hork out".

In the mean time, a friendly to ReBeL person was flying around and about in Evati, looking for a 1 vs 1.
After the Mega engagement, ReB still wanted action. After all, he has to honor his flashy red status whenever possible.
ReBeL got his Firetail, fitted to usually kill T1 frigates, and fleeted up with Babbelbob. After a warp in, each of the pilots started approaching each other and started to shoot each other until fireworks appeared in Evati!
It was a fair fight, "arrr the matey got me at 30% structure before he sank t'Davy Jones' locker" was ReB's comment. "I be orbitin' at close range, assistin' his blasters while I ignored completely th' drones. I did 't all wrong at first, but managed t' kill th' lad's in th' end. Fair swashbuckle t' the lad'!" ReBeL yelled while giving a light spank on an exotic dancer's cushion as she was passing by.



The Ruppy Engament!

On one of ReBeLSKuLL's usual solo Rifter nights out, he managed to spot a Rifter in a celestial. As a pirate, he is obligated to try and make ISK out of such opportunities. "I tried t' engage th' lad's two times in th' celestial, but he be too far ou'. I then warped ou' an' then waited on th' gate. He warped back in an' almost got point on th' lad's. I then asked th' lad's t' pay me ten cargo holds o' ISK an' I would leave him be. He didn' pay fer o'er two hours, only t' get a Wolf an' a Thrasher t' save his tide. I tried t' grab a kill but 't be impossible."
ReBeL stayed silent for a second, looking at his almost-empty-Quafe bottle filled with rum. He picked it up and downed it. He looked at me vaguely in the eyes and continued his story.
'But avast me matey, somethin' else did happen. I got one o' me mates t' join me in a Vengeance, in order t' be more persuasive an' t' show t' th' lad's that we be talkin' serious business here. Arrr! A flashy rupture vessel landed on grid. I warped ou' an' back in, Ravenesa started engagin' while bein' around 45+ KM off th' gate an' me. He be tight orbitin' an' be tryin' t' hold th' lad's enough fer me t' get thar an' point, on accoun' o' Ammar ships be nay known fer the'r stable caps! I tried t' burn in but th' pilot started shootin' at me. I then burned away an' re-approached. Managed t' sbung hole in an' get within scram range. Drones 'ere taken down fast, only fer th' haul smartly t' follow. An' in all that conflict, me partner stayed so calm. An' so did his shield. In an armor fitted ship. Good fight sire"!


He then stood up, took some ISK out of his pocket and dropped them on the table and started to walk away. I watched as he was leaving and all I could think about was "wtf is wrong with this lad".

Only to get disrupted by the sexy dancer appraching me with a piece of paper that had a quote of Frederic Douglas on it written down by ReBeL: "The thing worse than rebellion is the thing that causes rebellion".

Black ReBeL Firetail Club!

Don't worry, ReBeLSKuLL is still a Bastard.
I have to admit though, Black Rebel Rifter Club is a well respectful corporation. They are always keen on 1 vs 1 or fights, always honor it and are good frigate pilots. ReB has encountered them many times and has always done with  joy. Plus they use ReBeL on their name, so it is a win win situation for them too..

Anyway, ReBeL was flying around in Hagilur doing a sekret operation for himself on a classy Rifter. After that was cleared, "Oh, a Firetail on my D-scan. Could be a nice fight!". He warped on a belt towards the D-scanned ship. "Nothing".
The one remaining rat started shooting at him. ReBeL aligned while flashy Firetail landed. Since ReBeL needed maximum tank and a plan, he warped at the sun, aligned again, ready to get jumped by the chasing faction frigate. Some sort of "Run like a little girl" was posted on local in an attempt to lure ReBeL in a fight, although decision was already taken, ReB's Minmatar killing machine was already overheating...
"Patience my youngling" was replied on local.
"At first my intention was to keep distance, so I loaded barrage as I was warping out" ReBeL explains, "but I though about it better and followed my instinct, which said that the vessel chasing me is probably fitted with and armor rep and a tracking disruptor".
Republic Fleet Phased Plasma was loaded instead as the flashy enemy vessel lands. ReBeLSKuLL approached on an angle the Firetail, started shooting from distance until got on a 500 orbit range.
"I thought that in order to win this, his armor rep and TD must die". Neut on=cap out. ReBeLs shields where taking some damage, but as the fight was going on, the Firetail was going down faster. On armor, ReBeL on 40% shield and pew pew pew. Overheating on and off, enemy pilot ranging from 500-1500, but always on neut range and of course on ReBeLs well trained autocannon range..As soon as he was capped out, the ACs started doing serious damage on armor and then on the enemy's vessel hull..
Until finally, it popped.
Pod was pointed, but overheating never switched off, so ReBeL managed to burn his point.
*Facepalm*
"Crap" on local, laugh at ventrillo, "GF sir" was exchanged! I guess on the fights excitement failure happens sometimes..

Drunk Roam!

Yes, the Bastards are organizing a drunk roam. You are all invited of course, as long as your liver and sec status can handle it!

Date is: 3rd February!

Some of the fun rules:


1. Join the in-game channel 'INDEPENDENCE' for details and fleet pick up and vent info on the day.
2. Any T1 frigate/cruiser fitted out with whatever you want.
3. Yes, fit a rupture with lasers if you want.
4. Or a thorax with arties and missiles.
5. Or a rifter with a cruiser sized weapon.
6. Or bring a Celestis.
7. Mix your weapon systems. Why? because we can and that's how we roll.
8. Points required of course, we can't have people running away.
.
.
.
12. If you decide to fit a stab (why not?) then you have to say 'STABBED!' in local, take a shot of alcohol and then RUN like the wuss you are when you get tackled. If you do this and get smack - everyone else will need to take a shot on your behalf.

Read more about it here!

ReBeL hopes to see you all there!

A worth-reading article!

By request of His ReBeLLious Himself, a personal message to all of you:


"Dear Past, Current or Future FC,

I have come across this lovely article from Penelope Star (on a roam with the Bastards.) of the Eve Tribune and would like to share it with you as I feel that is is a good guide/addition to general fleet commanding knowledge!
A good explanation from two very good FCes, one of which happens to be the Big Boss of the notorious Bastards.

Read it and keep what you think is best for your fleet commanding!

Regards,

ReBeLSKuLL"
