Tipping Our Toes in Null Sec

Wow I lost interested in blogging for longer than i thought.
Picking up from where I left off, we started trying our hand in nullsec. Initially dawood and I were looking into this as an alternative to money making for when we were at war since missioning wasn’t really an option.

We arrived in Great Wildlands and tired ratting in UNK-GX in drakes fitted with cloaks. Not many people passing through local so we managed to get a good bit of ratting done. I don’t think we got anything amazing, about 4 million from 30-40 minutes work.

Eventually a group from Unforeseen Consequences join local and stay for a while. We are in safe-spots locked up and we see stealth bombers running around the system. Wood starts talking in local with them. Asking who we should look to get blue status with to rat in GW safely.

We eventually learn that the main power in GW is RE-AL alliance, and that we should get standings with them. We also learn that they are taking down a hostile POS which is out of fuel, and invite us to help them take it down.

A few things pass through my head at this point:

• There is not POS are just baiting us out of hiding to kill us
• The POS isn’t offline, and is gonna kill us when we land.
• The POS is offline, and when we are done helping them they are gonna kill us.

Eve can really help breed paranoia...

We decide to help them out and take the chance. We arrive at the POS to see it offline and a few bombers torpedoing the fuck out of it. Seems legit so far. The POS is owned by RE-AL alliance.

We wondering “Should we be killing this pos if we are wanting blue standings with this alliance?”

Fuck It.

We help with attacking the POS. while this is going on we laugh at how we were looking for blue status with RE-AL and now we are killing their POS.

A few RE-AL guys enter system now and then. We simply safe up and cloak cause we don’t know what ships they are bringing. This goes on for a bit and I eventually need to log off work work.

When I return I hear stories of epicness and stuff with mother ships brought in and stuff. Damned shame I missed it.

Woods be giving a good impression the these guys though and managed to get us blue standings with them in GW. A thought occurred to him later that we just lived the butterfly effect trailer for eve. I immediately OMFG!!! and agreed. Was a good day.

Thats all for this catch up.
