I've been pillaging and plundering, or attempting to, the skies of New Eden for a little over a year now. The following is a short summary of my first year as a Minmatar pirate.
As previously stated in my first entry in these memoirs, Minmatar pilots have the harshest and most intensive course load. As a result, I've become adept at many many skills and techniques. This includes shield tanking, shield compensation skills, armor tanking, armor compensation skills, manipulating drones, projectile skills, navigation skills, rigging skills, electronics skills, etc. The list of skills that I have trained and that I need to train is long and extensive but I am in fact getting there and becoming a highly proficient Minmatar pilot. I was once told by one of my mentors, it takes about two years for a minmatar pilot to become highly competent whereas other pilots can become very competent in half a year to a year. It seems to me that my mentor may have been correct.
I've limited myself to flying Minmatar frigates, T1 crusiers and battlecruisers thus far so that I could train the aforementioned support skills and weapons skills. In short, I do not have the training to fly interceptors (a very popular ship class), destroyers (the Minmatar Thrasher can be lethal), assault frigates (the Minmatar Jaguar and Wolf are arguably the best assault frigates in New Eden), battleships, heavy assault cruisers, stealh bombers, etc. As a result my choice of ships is limited but I have trained enough to fly the ships in my hangar very well (Hurricanes, Ruptures, Rifters and Stabbers).
I have been priviliged enough to fly with some exceptional pilots, in my opinion. This includes Malicious Wraith and Blotvard, of Dark Side of the Moon, who were the first pirates I flew with. This also includes all members of the Tuskers whom I presently fly with on a day to day basis. I've found flying with the Tusker's to be a great experience in that the corp. places a higher value on competence and personality and a lower value on the mere accumulation of skill points. Furthermore, the corp. consists of some damn good pilots!
In regards to combat, my logs show that I have a total of 97 kills and 21 losses. It's pretty safe to say that I am a risk adverse pilot who only engages on terms that I find desirable. My logs also indicate that I have destroyed isk totaling $3,265,320,003 and loss isk totaling $578,985,276.
As I proceed through my second year of piracy I look forward to much more success, much much more yarr-age and many many more entries in these memoirs as to my search for fortune and glory.

To catch a Hurricane...
The Hurricane is very easily my preferred piracy ship. It packs a destructive punch. It resembles a Star Destroyer. It is highly versatile in that it can be effectively shield tanked and/or armor tanked. Furthermore, you can equip it with auto-cannons and missiles or auto cannons and neuts / nos. In short, there is no cookie cutter Cane load-out which keeps adversaries on their toes. Lastly, and most importantly, in true Minmatar fashion, the Cane is agile and fast (for a battlecruiser).
The brilliance of the Hurricane lies herein.
My corp. mates and I scanned a Drake class battlecruiser in the Lisbaetanne system. After scanning for several minutes we realized that this Drake was at a safespot. A call went out to one of our cov ops specialist who rapidly joined our foray in Lisbaetanne. The cov ops specialist released a fathom grade probe and shortly thereafter shouted feverishly over communications that he had a visual on the Drake about 70 km away. The cov ops specialist then closed to within 8 kilometers and ordered us to warp to him at 0.
This is the moment I, as a pirate, enjoy most - the anticipation of a kill. I activated the warp drive on my Hurricane and the vessel engines responded affirmatively. While in warp, knowing that the Drake would be within 5 to 10 km/s once I exited warp, I decided to load my preferred ammo, Hail M. Hail M is short range and high damage ammo which is larger than typical Matar ammo. The force of Hail M exiting my Hurricane's cannons is enough to cause a turbulence like effect throughout the Hurricane. As a result, the use of Hail M, unlike most other Matar ammo, requires cap use to stabilize the ship.
As I exited warp, I activated my microwarpdrive and moved within 1000 meters of the Drake. I then activated my autocannons and the mighty Drake - known for its massive shield tank - eventually succumbed to my and my corp. mates fire. As always, I recorded evidence of this engagement in my log book and saluted the Drake pilot.
The Drake pilot, understandably, was not happy about the loss of his ship. Shortly after we popped the Drake two to three Megathron class battleships appeared on our ship scanners. The cov ops specialist reported that the Megas were camping a station. We decided that the Megas did not pose much of a threat and idled at a safe spot while our criminal timers reset. This, we would learn, was a false sense of secuirty.
Within minutes, I was aroused by the sound of several Megathrons attaining a target lock on my Hurricane. With the Mega pilots, in a separate ship, was the Drake pilot whom we just relieved of his battlecruiser. Apparently, the Megas also had a cov op's specialist with them who managed to locate our small fleet due mostly to our complacency. My corp. mates, being more alert than myself and flying ships which were more agile than mine, were able to immediately escape. However, before I could activate my ships engines, my Hurricane was scrambled, webbed, pinned down and apparently about to be blown to bits.
At this point, I had two options: 1) try to escape; or 2) try to pop the Drake pilot's ship before I went down. I chose option 1. I aligned towards a stack of planets and asteroid belts, activated the thermodynamics unit controls for my microwarpdrive then activated my microwarpdrive. My plan was, in true Minmatar fashion, to outrun my enemies, get out of web range, get out of scrambler range then warp away to the planets and belts ahead of me.
As my ship accelerated I watched my shields and armor melt away under the heavy firepower of the Megathrons. I then entered structure and at this point was convinced that this particular Hurricane had seen its last days. My ships sensors were in disarray and smoke spewed from every crevice and corner of my ship. As this went on I could hear my corp mates exclaiming: "What's going on?" "Did you get out?" "Did you lose your ship?" I then entered about 25% structure when the Hurricane hit its max speed of about 1800 km/s, damage began to come at a slower rate, and I was finally able to activate my warp drive. The Hurricane battlecrusier, moving faster than the Megathrons that aggressed me, escaped!
I docked the smokey heap at a station and thought to myself that piracy and ship loss typically go hand in hand but not on this day!

Real Life Pirates!!!!!
Somali Pirates Tell Their Side: They Want Only Money
By JEFFREY GETTLEMAN
NAIROBI, Kenya — The Somali pirates who hijacked a Ukrainian freighter loaded with tanks, artillery, grenade launchers and ammunition said in an interview on Tuesday that they had no idea the ship was carrying arms when they seized it on the high seas.
“We just saw a big ship,” the pirates’ spokesman, Sugule Ali, said in a telephone interview. “So we stopped it.”
The pirates quickly learned, though, that their booty was an estimated $30 million worth of heavy weaponry, heading for Kenya or Sudan, depending on whom you ask.
In a 45-minute interview, Mr. Sugule spoke on everything from what the pirates wanted (“just money”) to why they were doing this (“to stop illegal fishing and dumping in our waters”) to what they had to eat on board (rice, meat, bread, spaghetti, “you know, normal human-being food”).
He said that so far, in the eyes of the world, the pirates had been misunderstood. “We don’t consider ourselves sea bandits,” he said. “We consider sea bandits those who illegally fish in our seas and dump waste in our seas and carry weapons in our seas. We are simply patrolling our seas. Think of us like a coast guard.”
The pirates who answered the phone call on Tuesday morning said they were speaking by satellite phone from the bridge of the Faina, the Ukrainian cargo ship that was hijacked about 200 miles off the coast of Somalia on Thursday. Several pirates talked but said that only Mr. Sugule was authorized to be quoted. Mr. Sugule acknowledged that they were now surrounded by American warships, but he did not sound afraid. “You only die once,” Mr. Sugule said.
He said that all was peaceful on the ship, despite unconfirmed reports from maritime organizations in Kenya that three pirates were killed in a shootout among themselves on Sunday or Monday night.
He insisted that the pirates were not interested in the weapons and had no plans to sell them to Islamist insurgents battling Somalia’s weak transitional government. “Somalia has suffered from many years of destruction because of all these weapons,” he said. “We don’t want that suffering and chaos to continue. We are not going to offload the weapons. We just want the money.”
He said the pirates were asking for $20 million in cash; “we don’t use any other system than cash.” But he added that they were willing to bargain. “That’s deal-making,” he explained.
Piracy in Somalia is a highly organized, lucrative, ransom-driven business. Just this year, pirates hijacked more than 25 ships, and in many cases, they were paid million-dollar ransoms to release them. The juicy payoffs have attracted gunmen from across Somalia, and the pirates are thought to number in the thousands.
The piracy industry started about 10 to 15 years ago, Somali officials said, as a response to illegal fishing. Somalia’s central government imploded in 1991, casting the country into chaos. With no patrols along the shoreline, Somalia’s tuna-rich waters were soon plundered by commercial fishing fleets from around the world. Somali fishermen armed themselves and turned into vigilantes by confronting illegal fishing boats and demanding that they pay a tax.
“From there, they got greedy,” said Mohamed Osman Aden, a Somali diplomat in Kenya. “They starting attacking everyone.”
By the early 2000s, many of the fishermen had traded in their nets for machine guns and were hijacking any vessel they could catch: sailboat, oil tanker, United Nations-chartered food ship.
“It’s true that the pirates started to defend the fishing business,” Mr. Mohamed said. “And illegal fishing is a real problem for us. But this does not justify these boys to now act like guardians. They are criminals. The world must help us crack down on them.”
The United States and several European countries, in particular France, have been talking about ways to patrol the waters together. The United Nations is even considering something like a maritime peacekeeping force. Because of all the hijackings, the waters off Somalia’s coast are considered the most dangerous shipping lanes in the world.
On Tuesday, several American warships — around five, according to one Western diplomat — had the hijacked freighter cornered along the craggy Somali coastline. The American ships allowed the pirates to bring food and water on board, but not to take weapons off. A Russian frigate is also on its way to the area.
Lt. Nathan Christensen, a Navy spokesman, said on Tuesday that he had heard the unconfirmed reports about the pirate-on-pirate shootout, but that the Navy had no more information. “To be honest, we’re not seeing a whole lot of activity” on the ship, he said.
In Washington, Geoff Morrell, the Pentagon press secretary, declined to discuss any possible American military operations to capture the ship.
“Our concern is right now making sure that there’s a peaceful resolution to this, that this cargo does not end up in the hands of anyone who would use it in a way that would be destabilizing to the region,” Mr. Morrell told reporters at the Pentagon. He said the United States government was not involved in any negotiations with the pirates. He also said he had no information about reports that the pirates had exchanged gunfire among themselves.
Kenyan officials continued to maintain that the weapons aboard were part of a legitimate arms deal for the Kenyan military, even though several Western diplomats, Somali officials and the pirates themselves said the arms were part of a secret deal to funnel weapons to southern Sudan.
Somali officials are urging the Western navies to storm the ship and arrest the pirates because they say that paying ransoms only fuels the problem. Western diplomats, however, have said that such a commando operation would be very difficult because the ship is full of explosives and the pirates could use the 20 crew members as human shields.
Mr. Sugule said his men were treating the crew members well. (The pirates would not let the crew members speak on the phone, saying it was against their rules.) “Killing is not in our plans,” he said. “We only want money so we can protect ourselves from hunger.”
When asked why the pirates needed $20 million to protect themselves from hunger, Mr. Sugule laughed and said, “Because we have a lot of men.”

The Birth of a Pirate!
In December of 2007 Nupe was born into the world known as Tranquility. There were many tough choices to be made by the fledging and inexperienced pilot on his birth date. He needed to choose a race, a tribe, attributes, a skill focus, appearance and eventually a corporation. However, one choice was quite easy, Nupe's career!
Piracy, the career path of the vile, the hated, the blood thirsty and most importantly, the feared. Nupe knew he had no interest in living a honest life. He knew he never wanted to toil with heavy machinery mining never-ending mounds of asteroids. He knew he did not want to sit in factories inventing ship modules. He knew he did not want to become a mission runner repeating the same mundane task ad nauseum. Nupe did not want to become a pilot who sat in massive fleet battles taking orders from commanders he'd rather rob blind!
Nupe knew he wanted to live life on the run. Taking what he wanted. Attacking and ransoming those who had wealth. Destroying those too stupid or too poor to pay the ransoms. Being a general nuisance. Making his chosen victim miserable. Keeping whatever he accumulated. Taking whatever you accumulated.
So, piracy was Nupe's first choice. Nupe's second choice was his race, Mimmatar. Mimmitar are known for their fast and agile ships. Hence, Mimmatar appeared to be the best race for Nupe since piracy would require the ability to flee concord, sentry fire, anti-pirates and blobs easily. Mimmatar are also a versatile race, hence, their ships can be fitted in various ways which would hopefully keep Nupe's foes guessing. Nupe soon learned of the drawbacks of the Mimmatar race such as lower damage output. Additionally, Mimmatar must train far more skills than other races to be effective. Hence, Nupe realized his ability to effectively engage targets his age and older would be hampered for months and months. Also, Nupe learned that Mimmatar combat required far more finesse and thought than Eve's other races.
Several months have passed since Nupe's arrival to Tranquility and many strides have been made. These strides include, ransoming a number of pilots with his corp. The Dark Side of the Moon, learning to probe, blowing up a number of ships and training his skills to respectable levels. On the other hand Nupe has lost a fair number of ships (Rifters and Ruptures) largely due to inexperience, mistakes and/or inattentiveness. For instance, Nupe on more than one occasion warped to a moon where a pos was located and was promptly blown to bits. On several other occasions, Nupe (a flashy outlaw) jumped into Concord space in a Rifter and was quickly put down by the powers that be. There was another occasion where Nupe, a week old pirate attempted to attack a Hurricane class battlecruiser in a Rifter and was promptly dispatched. And of course, there was the time I put a 1mn MWD instead of a 10mn MWD on my Rupture cruiser which effectively ruined my ability to stay out of a myrmidon's webs and led to another explosive death on my part. While laughable, these experiences have ultimately made me a better player.
This blog will attempt to chronicle and record Nupe's journeys through Tranquility; his triumphs, his defeats and his progress towards becoming a feared pirate.
