Ahh, remeber I'm a newb, can you tell me how I get into the PSU channel?

Electrofreak · 2005-01-26, 11:22 PM

Yep, its the button on the left side, about 2/3 of the way down, labeled "Channels/mailing lists". Click that and hit the "Create/Join" button and type in PSU. It should send you right to our channel.

Rbstr · 2005-01-28, 08:22 PM

it's a great time to join, a preaty 1337 ganker mercenary or something Corp just declared war on us.

Good times... yeah...

Well, since we are sharing EVE stories, I guess I'll tell one that involved me and Peacemaker.

We were in a Solar System just one jump from PSDU's HQ, doing a complex (A place to kill alot of NPC's, the one we were at had about 25 Cruiser NPCs..kinda hard to kill by yourself

), we were both in Caracal class Cruisers, basicly the cruiser version of the Raven, a missile-boat, really good for NPC fighting. We get done with the first part of the complex, and a guy comes in with a Interceptor, an advanced version of a frigate, and soon after his buddy comes in a BlackBird class Cruiser, a cruiser that can jam you pretty good. After we finish the complex, the BB locks Peace, but holds his fire. Soon after they open fire on Peace, we both instantly lock the Interceptor and kill him easily. The BB was harder though, instead of using his jamming abilities to jam, he used them to strengthen his defense. We were hitting him with 10 Heavy missiles about every 13 seconds, which is pretty good. We did'nt even get passed his shields. We both warped out to get better ships. Peace has ActiveX there also in a very fast frigate, while the BB continued to fire on him. I got in my own BB to jam him, and Peace got a better fitting for his Caracal. I tried to get to them and help, but my BB had the shittiest set-up ever, and I have to go through about 4 cruiser NPC's to get to Peace.

Well, Peace ended up losing his Caracal, but it was worth it. You see, an Interceptor costs about 10-15million in-game cash, and a Caracal cost only 6 million, so we lost the battle, but won the war

EDIT: Yes, a very experienced pirate corp named Teddybears just declared war on us. One of our members, who is also experienced, and has connections, got some info on them. They use some of the best known tactics in the game to kill. They go to war with corps they think they can kill. They have only 11 members to make other corps think they can kill them, but they have many friends that help them in their wars. Bastards.

Ok I think I need someone to send a buddy trial or something.

[email protected] if you dont mind. Im soo bored and got nothing to do this weekend so I wanna try this again. SOunds better then when I last played, I played like 6 months ago and the exp. came out since then.

Neon Apocalypse · 2005-01-28, 10:04 PM

Teddybears know what theyre doing.

You guys are in for it.

Electrofreak · 2005-01-29, 02:08 AM

Yeah, we know. I've got the lowdown on how their corp operates and I know the extent of their history. They sent us an ultimatum today that required us to pay them 250 million, move out of Lonetrek, close down all of our offices in the region, or fall under siege.

We've got 2 options. First, we just bunker down, play a lot of CS:S and wait for them to get bored and leave.

Second, we garner the support of other corps and make them back off with a display of force. They warred 2 other corps besides us today. We've contacted them and we've agreed to all work together vs the TBs if we have to. Between PSDU and our allies, we can probably manage at least a dozen battleships and a couple dozen smaller ships if we really wanted to make a stand.

We're going to try option 1 first, and then resort to option 2 as plan B.

And we don't know who the client is who hired the Teddybears to kill us. We're trying to gather as much information as possible before the war is officially begun, which will be 6:00pm this Saturday. So we've got until then to prepare and gather information. Best of luck to us, we're going to need it.

SecondRaven · 2005-01-29, 02:25 AM

Bahh Foofie !! i shall take on all of the TB's with my Cruiser and 5 missle ports...they shall feel my 194.8 max dammage per hit.
