First Post

Well, I'm going to attempt this blogging thing.


First, I've got 2 main characters in EVE, 1) Looviticus, who is a market trader and helps to supplement my combat character, who is 2) Ael Kronos, my Caldari based combat character who is part of the Gunshi Kuroi Doragon corporation, based in Lonetrek. Looviticus is the oldest character, with about 36mil sp, then Ael with about 38mil sp now. These characters run 2004-2005, but I've taken a couple of extended breaks from Eve through the years, so the SP is actually very low compared to a character thats been active the whole time.


Gunshi is a small corporation, primarily PVP, with a focus of specialized skills over general blobbing combat. We tend to experiment with different setups--sometimes off-the-wall setups, trying to attain specific goals in combat. Recent activity includes a Scorpion battleship gang, led by our CEO Diamond VI. Our basic setup was this - An armor tanked Hyperion w/point for bait, a shield-tanked Scorp w/point as a second tackle, 2x ECM Scorps w/remote shield reps and a DPS typhoon to finish off the competition. While the Hyp did come under fire, as soon as the 3 scorps entered the fray, our opponents decided they didn't want to hang out. Why not? LOL.


TBH, we haven't really been effective with them yet, we need to refine our tactics a bit - need a couple of smaller ships to grab point first, then move the scorps in - also, if we're gonna go with shield reps, it really doesn't make sense to have an AT Hype. But, again, we'll refine as we go.
