Just an update from the Hooligans.
We opened recruitment in march. Its been a slow process to say the least but we have gotten a few decent hits as well as the occasional troll. Been trying to fill in a bit of EU slots to have more people on at different times but it seems Bill will have to talk to himself a bit longer. All and all its a slow climb but our hole is perfect for our size so we are good for the long haul.
Pvp, up until last month, was going well. We had some good fights in low, helped destroy a few PoS' in wormholes, and rolled some holes for a bit of pew. They are learning but still have a ways to go. Silly and avoidable loses seem to be our weakness. But as a whole our k/d ratio and damage done/rec ratio are positive which is a nice thing to have for a PvE corporation. It will at least make any aggressors think a bit and shows like most we wont just roll over or run. Home Defense I believe is solid. Being in a c2 makes things so much easier the main thing we lack is numbers but for the most part we are capable of holding our own. It also helps that we have caps and the aggressors wont. Not that that is a win button but its sure a plus for our side.
Isk as usual is being made. Solid PI planets provide most of our fuel. Industrial PoS' for some extra isk and sites, sites, and more sites. Although members have been less active this last month due to RL, the corp is still doing great. We have isk saved for our downtimes and still plenty for any extended period. Says a lot when members can pay for accounts with isk they made in the months prior. Just incase you cant hear what it says, it is saying we make a lot of isk!
All in all we are doing great! Slowly growing, learning, and improving. (mmm maybe Rixx will join up) Our baggage has definitely gotten lighter over the months as our wallets have gotten heavier and our hangers are filling up. Now all we need is Odyssey.

Greed
So Since the last payday for the wormhole corp, my sidekick Adex III and I have been hitting the sites pretty hard to maximize our isk intake! All has been going good with 2 wormholes full of sites wiped clean by us alone and several others done with more corp members, we are well on our way to 2 bil profit depending on when they decide to take our lootz out. Unfortunately for us, last night went bad. Very bad!
So we clear a c4 statics sites and decide to close the wormhole and open a new one for more sites! All went well and we opened up the new static with 19 regular sites. Jackpot in our eyes! Keep in mind for me it is 10:30 pm when we start running these sites. So we are running site after site after site, checking dscan as we go and all is good. Gets to be about 2 am for me and my eyelids are getting heavy. I tell Adex that I'm about to call it cause I'm about to fall asleep but he talks me into doing more sites until we get another bil worth of lootz. I agree and run 2 more sites. He tells me we have a little over a bill in lootz and are good to go. At this point I get a little greedy and decide to do one more to attempt to even out our individual payments.
At this point its almost 3 am and I'm so tired that I'm not even thinking about dscan. So we finish the site and warp the noctis in for the lootz. Again feeling so tired I decide to lay my head on my desk. What seemed like a second (but really about 2 minutes) I was asleep. I open my eyes and look up to see multiple red boxes and bubbles around my fleet. Adex yells my name (I can only assume he kinda new I had fallen asleep) and I then start aligning out in an attempt to get out of the bubbles. Being a remote rep tengu and that the other 2 tengus on the field being jammed, my tengu went down.(my first t3 loss) I start moving my pod out as I'm still in the bubble, as I'm almost out they finally decide to finish the job and back to Dal I go. Soon the other 2 tengus go down as well but we are relieved to find out the noctis got out.
That was short lived as in the suspense the noctis jumps to the wormhole at 0 where they have a tackle waiting. Noctis jumps through hoping the stabs will be enough to prevent the tackle but in the end he had to jump back through and attempt to cloak. He managed to cloak but wasn't able to move fast enough and eventually got de-cloaked and died. just over 2.5 bil worth of ships destroyed and 1.1 bil worth of lootz lost. We were sad pandas. Granted the loss of or ships and even out lootz didn't phase us much. We were more annoyed at the complete waste of time our greediness cost us! Safe to say ill start stocking up on the mountain dew and red bull for our next late night run!

The Return
Due to needing some extra real life moniez and the lack of free time that allowed me I have been inactive for about 4 months on the pvp side of eve. Kept my wh alt subbed to try and keep a steady flow of isk rolling in but again lack of free time just didn't allow it and eventually the account went mia as well! But now summer is coming to a close and Im getting back to my usual schedule.
Upon re-subbing Acute Dragonis, I promptly swapped him over from pvp corp to wh corp due to lack of iskies. Been back a month and with 2 paydays under the belt have already generated 2.1bil isk (no Nashh you cannot have for your titan fund!) and managed to only spend 400mil so far, which is good in my book!
Ive also been trying to whip some of these wh players into pvp shape I was told that they are pve players and we should resort to talks over tea and cake when we meet other wh corps. That's fine and dandy sometimes but the day is coming when we will have to defend our wh and id rather be ready instead of having to explain things. In a bit of bait training I had one member in a tanked probing drake. We brought 2 cane, 2 falcons, and a 100mn tengu plus the tengu booster. The thing about wh pvp is it can be extremely hard to get intel on a target and/or fleet it may be in. We brought these ships to go against a falcon, Proteus, and 3 rr tengu. Basic stuff really use 100mn to burn down falcon while we start jaming and melting the rr tengus. We had a cloaky follow them untill they stoped and launched probes. We came up shortly and pushed the drake through and did the same.
Few minutes passed and nothing going on. Our 100mn tengu and boosting tengu lost his net and dc'd. 30 sec later a\our drake pilot is saying Arazu has him pointed! no big deal means more are coming so we jump into wh and hold cloaks. A few seconds later a Zealot is called out so we warp for the kill. We land point and start the onslaught. Everything is going good, Arazu jammed ans Zealot pointed and falling. Check Dscan and nothing so I focus on keeping optimal. Zealot hits 50% armor and here comes the reinforcements! Now a total of 12 hostiles on the field! After we stop laughing on comms (all you can do in that situation) I tell them to finish Zealot and warp if possible. I start warp then get pointed by Arazu and half a sec later Arazu is jammed again and I attempt another warp! I was so close to warp i could already feel the relief set in and then boom....
We start warping pods out. Both falcons made it out and kudos to them for some of the jams. We would have made it out if not for the number of points! But as we are warping and finally checking Dscan again I see a lot more ships than what we saw on the field! Checking the loss mail I also notice that this fleet is not made up of anyone in the corp we were actually baiting. So after a quick search I find their battle report. It seems that the group we initially tried to bait jumped in shortly after and killed 2 more ships. Good fun!
Besides the fact that we didn't watch the Dscan closely enough and we lost one dps right before the fight, over all it went very well. They listened, called points and jams. We are getting there, we just really need a few more active pilots to compete with the bigger wh corps.

War On 3 Fronts
War #1 - Amarr/Caldari
Although we don't really care about the militia war efforts (besides gaining rank and a small amount of lp there is nothing to gain for killing or taking other militia systems) it has offered us a few fun filled fights on gates and stations without the worry of sentry guns! That's really the only perk for being in the militia right now. One of the things i dislike about this war is its too much like null sec! They blob so we blob. We blob so they blob. Endless cycle really. The Minmatar militia's "secure" channel isn't so secure and and no decent intel or fleets are posted in there. So when the KGB got kicked out of that channel it wasn't a loss! (BTW Nashh..... we got kicked out of minnie militia secure.... oops!)
War #2 - Almost Epic..... riiiiiiiiiiiiiight
So this corp was founded on the basis of training noobs for pvp and militia. (so they claimed in a few of their rants) But apparently training has been canceled or the trainers are retarded because one of their members didn't get the overview training that he needed. He fired upon and taunted Nashh in local while Nashh, also in local, was telling him they were in the same militia. Nashh exploded and soon sent a mail to the CEO of above corp with our demands. Demands were not met so we war dec them. In the past week of war we have killed 5 and lost 1 and have also been watching their member count drop. Rumor has it that they are fail cascading due to inactiveness and lack of talent but until then war wages on and more of their isk will be lost! This war is the main reason we have been kicked from militia secure channel.
War #3 - Black Rebel Rifter Club
Although this one has not started yet, it looks to be an exciting war. The Rebels have heard our global advertisements and noticed (quite slowly mind you) that they were mentioned by us as being "not quite rivals" of the KGB but more or less easy targets for our pilots! In order to try and prove us wrong they have war dec'd us. I find this war to be very one sided. They easily out number us 3-1 but we will allow them to bring friends to even the odds if necessary. Either way there will be plenty of GFGF's to be had in this war and many wrecks to be looted.
All in all the next week or so will be action filled and great fun!

Battle Report!
A few battle reports that stand out over the past week!
Tues Oct 11
Nashh logs on and we jump in fleet getting ready to do a quick little roam around our home. 20 sec into having fleet formed and Nashh jumping into next system, he says in comms that he is being targeted by 2 rifters. Nashh is flashy so the rifters can engage on gate but they just target at first and seeing as Nashh was in his rupture it makes since for them to not fire too hastily. They eventually open up guns as Nashh sees loki on scan. He jumps back into Dal and warps to sun just in time for the loki pilot to jump in behind and see where he went. The rifters eventually jump in and warp onto Nashh along with the loki. Being the epic pvpers that we are, in the short time we had already set up to catch the loki. Nashh easily takes out a rifter by himself while he removes point on the other rifter to point the loki. (Nashh had a temporary lack of faith in our arazu pilot) The second rifter warped but by then no one cared as the loki was pointed by 3 of our ships and ecm'd by our falcon. He went down with a glorious explosion. He refused a convo for ransom so his pod was soon to follow.
Wed Oct 12
We were roaming around Amarr space looking for the usual blob but only really finding scared little rabbits. We come across a drake that seems to want to play. We engage on gate and he quickly ceases fire and waits out his jump timer. He barely makes it out but as he jumps, a hurricane and armageddon warp in. Both ships start to cycle there guns but eventually the hurricane moves out of range as all our focus is on the armageddon and its juicy kill mail. He eventually goes down as the hurricane jumps through gate. We stick around a bit to loot and see if anything else decides to come our way. The hurricane soon jumps back in as a navy issue omen comes on scan. They call hurricane primary as nothing else is on field at that time but soon enough the omen lands and primary changes. I fall to the guns of the hurricane as I start slowing down and changing direction to get in range for the omen. The omen is dropped easily enough and the cane warped or jumped back through gate.
Later that night, in an attempt to save Nashh from a presumed station camp, Lex and myself set off to scream at the fleet in local! Lex jumped in to system to find a neutral daredevil willing to play. The loot gods where kind to Lex in this nice show of Kadavr superiority. Come to find out Nashh was being a dweeb and wasn't being camped at all!
Thurs Oct 13
Nashh decided to test his probing skills with his newly trained probing alt and 6 jumps later finds a tengu plexing. I rally the troops into fleet and we head out as quickly as possible to make pew! 5 min later we are on out gate waiting for jump and warp command. Tackle jumps in, warps to site and.... nothing. Instead of keeping eyes on target the tackle got fleet warped to site. So Nashh keeps his cloaky alt at site as tackle jumps out to give the illusion of boredom. Just as tackle jumps out Nashh says tengu is back. Thinking all or nothing at this point Nashh orders everyone to jump in... I slapped him around a bit and got everyone to at least give the tackle a head start so we don't alert the tengu pilot too soon. We jump in and warp as tackle is being called. Scan shows a hurricane besides ours somewhere but local shows a friendly of our targeted tengu. Our vagabond tackle goes down under the assault of the cane and tengu but the tengu soon drops under the assault of 4 neuts and 12 guns. Cane pilot valiantly fought to the bitter end for his tengu friend but in the end the black guard won the day.
So far, very little isk lost to a whole lot of isk destroyed. Definitely not the only kills of the week but some of the more notable so far! Fly safe!

Divide and Conquer
So today was full of amarr fail. Me and Cyber Ten , one of KGB's most recent additions, decide to fly around amarr space and deliver some good news. Me in the stabber and Cyber in a wolf, we settled into Kourmonen, dropped some probes but just weren't able to catch anybody. A few hits on the probes ended up leading directly to stations or empty space. So we decide to move on to Huola. I go ahead and warp to gate while cyber pulls in drones and such from an alt. As usual while im in warp to the gate a fleet jumps through same gate. Fun times and amarr fails are about to happen!
Ok so I land on gate and see at least 10 amarr there. Now being a pro gtfo pilot I effortlessly go into gtfo mode. Quick check to see ships types and an easy assumption of what this fleet will do. Basic stuff really. They will lock and engage me with one ship while jumping the rest of their fleet in for an "easy" kill. The above happens according to plan and, instead of being a frantic newb and thinking I gotta jump in asap and beat the fleet to warp, I hold on gate. 75% shields, hold on gate. 50% shields, hold on gate. 25% shields, hold on gate. 15% shields, incoming gate fire from hostile ship, out going gate fire from me! Amarr fail #1. Dunno the ship that came through but I do know it was apart of that fleet! I also know that its one less dps on the other side of gate. So holding cloak and letting some shield regen I look around and see nothing of real concern and it seemed to me they were relying on a dramiel for tackle so meh easy stuff. 25% shield (plenty) I approach gate breaking my cloak and hit the mwd. Red boxes everywhere with ships and drones coming at me and I jump through 10% shields and leave them with no kill and an aggression timer to deal with. Fail tackle = Amarr fail #2
By this time I'm thinking to myself, at most ill have to get clear of 2 ships or kill them.. either way im golden. Well apparently they brought along a few more friends for some fun. About 6 ships on this side no big deal to get away from them, just gotta wait for the right time. 2 things worked to my advantage at this point. First, my cloaked location was directly between the out gate and the hostiles for an easy align that would work for my benefit and second, I had loki boosts! Loki boost gave my mwd speed output a nice little boost. So align to Auga gate, mwd, overheat and I'm gone. Now I could have gone to a safe but that's no fun. I ran my mwd to the point where my cap would be empty after next cycle then I warped. OH NOES CANT MAKE IT ALL THE WAY!!!! Well they didnt know that. So naturally they chase the stabber. Well a crow and a dramiel chase the stabber. I end up 3k away from gate. Cyber is on gate and watches the dram and crow land. I warp to gate immedietly thinking we can kill at least one of these guys before fleet comes. I land, start targeting the crow and the dram... jumps?Fail #3. Crow aggresses and we make short work of this pilot. As he splodes the dram returns to system and the fleet is just landing on gate. Cyber burns out of range and I decide to go crazy and warp back to the Hualo gate at zero. No one on gate but the dram lands right behind and decides to.....jump??Fail #4 Apparently this smart guy thought I was gonna jump out?? Well I align to safe and hit mwd again. Dram pilot returns to system and starts burning towards me. I warp to safe then decide I need repairs! Another corp mate decides to join up and while I'm repairing they kill a nice little slicer.
So we toy with this fleet for a bit more. trying to get their smaller ships to come at us so we could burn them down and warp before fleet landed but eventually they got bored with us and went back to Hualo. Naturally we were having too much fun and by this time 2 more corp mates had joined up for some pew so we were feeling good. We jump in and the gate is clear. We disperse throughout the system checking for anything that might be fun to splode and find nothing. good bit of stuff on scans but nothing reachable. Then we get a slicer on scan near the Kourmonen gate. I warp and land on top of a slicer. With only a disruptor fit I figured id have to run the mwd full time to stay within range of my disruptor. My plan went well until I burned out disruptor and mwd. Slicer warped off in structure as a dominix landed with something else I didn't stick around to see. I dock up, repair, and jump back to Kourmonen for a more controlled environment. I'm scanning at a safe in Kourmonen when the original fight on the Hualo gate began. Original targets were Amarr for sure but at some point neutrals came into the fight started attacking our flashy guys! I target them looking for weakest link and find a ceptor already taking damage from Anabaric's stabber. Trying to help my corp mate out I decide to take gcc and my chances with the gate guns. Overheated weapons and we make short work of the ceptor. I got out with a bit of armor damage but Anabaric was held down by a rapier and fleet issue stabber and popped a few seconds later.
Cyber Ten had to call it quits to go shave his legs for swim practice and I decided to take a break and watch a movie. All in all a productive day since I finally have more kills than losses since joining Kadavr Corps! I'm also currently ahead in a corp competition so good news all around XD
Ok so I land on gate and see at least 10 amarr there. Now being a pro gtfo pilot I effortlessly go into gtfo mode. Quick check to see ships types and an easy assumption of what this fleet will do.

Loki boost gave my mwd speed output a nice little boost. So align to Auga gate, mwd, overheat and I'm gone. Now I could have gone to a safe but that's no fun. I ran my mwd to the point where my cap would be empty after next cycle then I warped. OH NOES CANT MAKE IT ALL THE WAY!!!! Well they didnt know that. So naturally they chase the stabber. Well a crow and a dramiel chase the stabber. I end up 3k away from gate. Cyber is on gate and watches the dram and crow land. I warp to gate immedietly thinking we can kill at least one of these guys before fleet comes. I land, start targeting the crow and the dram... jumps?Fail #3. Crow aggresses and we make short work of this pilot. As he splodes the dram returns to system and the fleet is just landing on gate. Cyber burns out of range and I decide to go crazy and warp back to the Hualo gate at zero. No one on gate but the dram lands right behind and decides to.....jump??Fail #4 Apparently this smart guy thought I was gonna jump out?? Well I align to safe and hit mwd again. Dram pilot returns to system and starts burning towards me. I warp to safe then decide I need repairs! Another corp mate decides to join up and while I'm repairing they kill a nice little slicer.
So we toy with this fleet for a bit more. trying to get their smaller ships to come at us so we could burn them down and warp before fleet landed but eventually they got bored with us and went back to Hualo. Naturally we were having too much fun and by this time 2 more corp mates had joined up for some pew so we were feeling good. We jump in and the gate is clear. We disperse throughout the system checking for anything that might be fun to splode and find nothing. good bit of stuff on scans but nothing reachable. Then we get a slicer on scan near the Kourmonen gate. I warp and land on top of a slicer. With only a disruptor fit I figured id have to run the mwd full time to stay within range of my disruptor. My plan went well until I burned out disruptor and mwd. Slicer warped off in structure as a dominix landed with something else I didn't stick around to see. I dock up, repair, and jump back to Kourmonen for a more controlled environment. I'm scanning at a safe in Kourmonen when the original fight on the Hualo gate began. Original targets were Amarr for sure but at some point neutrals came into the fight started attacking our flashy guys! I target them looking for weakest link and find a ceptor already taking damage from Anabaric's stabber. Trying to help my corp mate out I decide to take gcc and my chances with the gate guns. Overheated weapons and we make short work of the ceptor. I got out with a bit of armor damage but Anabaric was held down by a rapier and fleet issue stabber and popped a few seconds later.
Cyber Ten had to call it quits to go shave his legs for swim practice and I decided to take a break and watch a movie. All in all a productive day since I finally have more kills than losses since joining Kadavr Corps! I'm also currently ahead in a corp competition so good news all around XD

String of Bad Luck
So I joined the wormhole corp knowing I was going in for the isk. I knew I'd be getting very little kills, if any, and would probably suffer from a few loses since wormhole space was new to me! It pretty much all played out they was I knew it would. Few kills here and there and a few losses here and there. For the most part though my kill/death ratio was staying about even. Until recently when I finally joined the PvP corp.
I'm pvp, I'm use to losses, and I know its part of the game. Ive suffered some pretty big losses in my career and I've dealt with those as everyone else would. (went outside and cursed at the top of my lungs) Recently though, its not the quality of my loss mails as much as the quantity of loss mails that's getting to me. Again I'm used to losing.... but not so much.... Granted a few of my losses were me having fun and eventually getting caught in a bubbled wormhole or me thinking I docked and going afk to deal with the twins then coming back to see myself sploding just in time to get my pod out. Currently I'm 5-20 since joining up under the Kadavr banner. Id say I hit a bit of a slump!
Its just not something I'm familiar with. Maybe I'm getting old and my reflexes are getting a bit shotty? My isk destroyed out ways my isk lost by a good bit but id still prefer green all around the board. It could be I'm going out solo more often than I did before. I was originally a null sec pilot but didn't do much on the blob wars. I stuck to the small gang roams. I also was a -10 pirate for a spell but even then I was flying with 2 other pilots. It could also be I'm used to flying battle cruisers. Other than a recon or bomber I was rarely seen in anything smaller than a BC. With the null sec alliances you are seldom ever asked to bring a frig and its usually required for you to bring BC or up!
(As I'm typing this we kill an Amarr Scumbag and then join up with Shadow Cartel and knock out this little carebear)
To be honest, I truly believe it because I don't care. I'm flying a rifter... what is there to care about. Ill just buy a new one and be on my way. With the BC's cost a bit more, maybe I was a bit more weary about what I attacked. While flying a rapier I would tackle get a few pot shots in then warp out once my shield were almost gone and the gang finished them off. Solo rifter.... meh if I lose it I lose it.
(Feck just lost another rifter.....)
So I guess I just gotta look forward to when I get my groove back because I might be back in the wormhole before long if I keep this slump up!
