Found a neat C2 shattered wormhole recently, and decided to take the stratios out for a spin. Except I have no idea how to fly one, I’ve never flown anything that does armor tanking, and I haven’t used drones in a long time either (though I am maxed out on drone skills – the tengu that I adore doesn’t use any).
So I immediately warped to a bountiful gas site, and got pinned down by rats. Thankfully a wormlife freeport resident was there in their Gila, and they absolutely saved my ass. That was awkward.
After spending one entire day flying the stratios, I’ve already decided it’s just not the ship for me – and I jumped back to HS, grabbed my Tengu, and tweaked the fit a little bit. My main issue with the Tengu is always that I need to resupply ammo and the amount of space it takes, and I’ve decided that’s fine, I’ll just deal with it.
Maybe I didn’t need to fly something with quite so much bling, anyway. Hunters tend to look at a Stratios and decided it needs to die, immediately.
Anyway, back to the stratios. After clearing the C2 shattered rats, I stuck around to salvage the wrecks (using drones). A few seconds after the freeport resident landed on grid with his covetor ready to huff some gas, someone who had been in system quietly ratting away +1 friend showed up – and I immediately warped off. The covetor wasn’t so lucky. The visitors were in an Ikitursa, which I am not familiar with at all. I forget what their friend was flying, I think it was a garmur. Either way, I wasn’t about to stick around to look too closely.
I also saw my first Tholos yesterday, Wingspawn popped in as they were being chased out of a C13 by someone else. Unfortunately they did not make it, but it was still pretty neat to watch.
As always, fly your way! o7
