Day 3, Please let me kill something!!!

It's not really day three, it was a slow few days so the boss man decided we needed to do something different. He said today that we were gonna go fishing for kills. This is a spaceship game I thought to myself how does one fish?!?!?!

 I asked and was told that he was going to assign a contract of a crap ton of capacitor boosters to me and name the package "Pilot License Extension", then he would blow up my hauling ship. The point behind this was to make people think they were going to steal a very expensive item off of my dead ship but in reality most ships wouldn't have the room to actually take the package full of cap boosters and would instead be flagged as a suspect for stealing and be free to shoot at.

I was all for the idea since I was blood thirsty at this point. Boss man even gave me permission to use my new Arbitrator class cruiser since there would be a lot of us there.

Time for mission execution. I take my new hauling ship and proceed to get it blown up by my fellow Corp mates and immediately switch ships. Unlike real fishing the wait wasn't long, someone in a hurricane took the bait and went yellow, meaning he is a suspect and able to be shot at by us for stealing from our Corp, boss man says to fire and we open fire. I open up my hanger doors and let loose with a full flight of drones along with artillery and missiles as well. I thought I was Admiral Adama from Battlestar Galactica fighting a Cylon warship. From the combined power of our fleet the hurricane was quickly made into scrap metal.

KILL ONE DONE SON!!!!

You always remember your first, there were more kills that night including people that we were at war with trying to sneak up on us but failing but I remember that kill out of all of it.

Day 2, Maybe Kill 1?

So day one didn't go so well. It happens from what I'm told. Time to suck it up and move on. Gotta burst this virgin ship killer cherry.

So now I'm talking to my CEO about how to get better and he sets me up on their "training plan". Pretty much to get a standard ship fit they have and go pick a fight.

My CEO showed me how and made it look easy.

He got 3 kills can flipping in a Merlin, a base model combat frigate.
So I'm like Ya I can do this.... What are those famous last words again? Oh Ya "I got this"...So I go out and look for a fight, found a miner and stole from his can. And he warped off...insert sad face here...  I thought I was going to get something but nothing....WAIT!!! He's back and what's this he is in an Arbitrator. A sort of jack of all trades cruiser. Please my Merlin of death can take that... About after thinking that statement my ship was gone and I received a polite email telling my that I have received an insurance claim for my recent ship destruction. Great....

So what do I do? Call for help of course! I'm determined to get this first kill! So now that I got help we flip this guys can again, he comes back with a drake, a combat oriented battle-cruiser and proceeds to hand both of us our butt's including me upgrading to my cherished drake as well.

My CEO revoked my fly around and act like a fool privileges after that. Was strictly only fly around when mommy or daddy could watch me. Still no kill(s) =(
