So I was off out into New Eden. Where was the best place to start? I thought I might as well go back to low sec. I still had a small bounty on my head because of that over excited ‘podding’ all of those years ago. I headed back through Ammamake in my ‘Susan Black’s Thrasher’. I had that rush that you get when you anticipate a gate camp. But when I landed it was quiet. Eerily quiet. I had not really seen it this quiet before. After this I zipped about in low sec for about half an hour. Still not sure exactly how everything worked but growing back into the game. I noticed a lot of Tribal Liberation around.
“Good Factional Warfare is still going strong.”
It dawned on me the best way forward was to go back to Rens and sign up. I zipped back through low sec into Rens and re-joined the TLF. This brought me back into several chat channels all flashing from time to time with various stuff. OK this is good I have interaction again. For the first time in years I had other players to interact with. A few hours alter and I was back to figuring out how the faction warfare was running. Amarr were pushing hard at the moment and there was plenty to do.
I spent time looking at the fit I had setup 9 years previously. It seemed to work OK and so well. ‘What the hell. What could possibly go wrong right?”
The fit is as follows:
[Thrasher, Moriarity Kanenald’s Thrasher]
Gyrostabilizer II
Reactor Control Unit II
5MN Y-T8 Compact Microwarpdrive
J5 Enduring Warp Disruptor
Medium Shield Extender II

250mm Light Artillery Cannon II,Republic Fleet EMP S
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II,Republic Fleet EMP S
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II,Republic Fleet EMP S
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II,Republic Fleet EMP S
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II,Republic Fleet EMP S
250mm Light Artillery Cannon II,Republic Fleet EMP S
Small Auxiliary Thrusters I
Small Core Defense Field Extender I
Small EM Shield Reinforcer I
It had served me well in the final days of my previous stint in eve so it was a case of ‘hey ho!’ I headed back to low sec. The whole thing so unfamiliar to me. Warping through system after system. Then I remembered about plexes and that is where the action might be. It took me around 30mins to locate the directional scanner and another 15 to get it working. I went into Floseswin warped to the Small Outpost and as I was sitting on the gate a Worm landed. Within seconds I was tangled up in the gate, trying to align out, no stuck on the gate quite literally rolling along voer the top of it like some sort of lost slug. By now my shields had gone and I was deep into armour I started to load some ammo and boom! Gone.
“GF” in Local.
“Yeah, right.”
I was right back into eve and as it had been doing previously it was handing me a new one!

I only wish I could have fired back at least! I was going to need a bit of support to relearn the game – otherwise this wasn’t going to go so well!
