Capital Kill

Finally, in EVE I have gotten my first capital kill.

Not bad for a pilot who's been playing since 2004 and spent half of his time in 0.0.
It's not for a lack of trying, I have tried many times in the past but have just not managed to get one including jumping my Moros into a hostile BOB capital fleet of 400 people and sitting watching a black screen while the FC called out target after target after target.

Recently, 4th has been doing frequent roams into Catch/Immensea using shield nano ships, often getting good results like the other day, Ladel probing out a mining party where we were able to snag Orca, Orca and a Navy Dominix. Not having a bubbler with us on our roams hurts us sometimes, missed a few hulks on that one.

Today was another roam, down into Catch. A normal procedure is to have everyone jump into a hostile ratting system at once and warp to station at 0. Any hostile ships that warp to the station are often just out of docking range and so we web them, bump them and pop them.
It often works better than trying to catch people in anomalies who are used to warping out as soon as a red enters local.
Luck shined on us - a Chimera tried to dock.
A few webs, lots of bumps, a failed attempt at a self destruct and BOOM I get my first capital kill in eve. A ratting Chimera that couldn't make it back to station in time.
There's a reason people say not to rat in carriers, they might make you easy isk but sooner or later you will lose it to reds.

I have been flying the Cynabal very often now and I like it a lot, it's very fast, very agile and locks quick with plenty of dps too. I used to enjoy the Vagabond but these days I tend to shun it as it's just not the same ship. It's expensive to lose but so far i've killed enough with it to make it worth each loss.
