I can only imagine what it must be like really.. or no.. I can.. I can remember how it was when I was just born out there. Making my first steps. Ending up in LowSec for the first time no totally realising what I was up for even. And then meeting a pirate for the first time.
So yea.. I can imagine a bit what it must be like to make that step across that rusty sign at the HiSec entrances of Lisbaetanne. The signs stating that you have to be wary of pirates. It was those steps that Bleed F'rMi set again on that quite sunday afternoon. Flying about.. ohhh! Nice belt.. nice rats! * lookin around, forgetting that rusty sign at the entrance a bit more already * mmm.. lets kill some rats:). Sitting there.. not scanning at all anymore. Just you and the rats.
But then suddenly! Out of nothing that flashy ship drops on your ass and before you know it you are stuck there, pinned down to the rocks of those roids. Rats still pounding on you as the EMP is banging on the hull of your ship. The point where you can only accept the fact of what is about to come. You try to resist and lock that flashy ship since you can't get out anymore. Trying to struggle with it.. but it's too strong.. it's just.. .... killing you softly.
Then that lonely moment is there where you find yourself getting left behind in a pod that can't get out anymore. It's that moment that you realise you aren't going anywhere anymore. The moment where you realise you will wake up in the clonetube. That's how the story goes!
Don't piss me off when I am annoyed already
Same thing for Dharna. Hanging about in Lisbaetanne. Close to HiSec. Must feel safe for her to rat there. Rat there in her badly fitted Punisher. Even when she flees for this flashy ship under command of a crazy girl called Eviwyn, flying under the Hellcats flag. She just keeps ratting.. its safe! I can get out! No you can't.. Evi is in a crappy mood and is out there for blood.. she wants your blood.. she wants your corpse! So she keeps hunting you down till she got you pinned down and you can't go anywhere anymore.
This is what she experiences. She gets pinned down by Evi. But.. what the fuck is this? Why is Evi not killing me? What she waiting for. She just shot me a bit and then.. then nothing anymore.. but what is that.. another flashy ship. An Ishkur:O. Those 2 flashy ships kill of Dharna in seconds, finding her pod pinned down. That is when she gets invited into a private comms channel.
She sees the text scroll up on her screen as she accepts the connection:
EVE System > Channel MOTD: Greetings. You were invited to this channel to SAVE YOUR SHIP. Please stop shooting and recall all drones so that negotiations may be conducted. Otherwise, you will be destroyed. HellFleet honors ALL ransoms through next downtime. Contact Mynxee with any questions or issues.Avoid these difficulties next time--buy a HellFleet Pass.
Dharna doesn't realise what is going on though..
[ 2010.04.04 16:10:49 ] Dharna > hi. Nice job. But why did it take so long?
[ 2010.04.04 16:11:14 ] eviwyn > 5M you want out?
[ 2010.04.04 16:11:21 ] eviwyn > was waiting for friend ;)
[ 2010.04.04 16:11:25 ] eviwyn > so I held fire a bit
[ 2010.04.04 16:11:56 ] eviwyn > nvm
[ 2010.04.04 16:12:07 ] Dharna > omg you need a friend to kill me in that low fitted pve ship?
She doesn't realise she is pissing Evi off even more who is burning on the inside by now. Making her wait.. annoying her with crappy bullshit.
[ 2010.04.04 16:12:10 ] EVE System > Dharna was kicked from the channel by eviwyn. Effective until 2010.04.04 16:42:09.
[ 2010.04.04 16:12:40 ] eviwyn > silly bitch
Evi orders Von Diel to open direct fire at the pod again as she enables everything she got again, blowing Dharna back to the clonetube. Darna doesn't wanna quit bullshitting though and tries to contact Von Diel. She doesn't realise Evi knows her shit though.
[ 2010.04.04 16:21:51 ] von Diel > o/
[ 2010.04.04 16:21:55 ] eviwyn > o7
[ 2010.04.04 16:21:55 ] Dharna > yes this one :-)
[ 2010.04.04 16:22:08 ] eviwyn > what you looking for?
[ 2010.04.04 16:22:25 ] Dharna > hey, can you provide that link to that fleet path again?
[ 2010.04.04 16:22:37 ] eviwyn > its a channel
[ 2010.04.04 16:22:39 ] eviwyn > ransom channel
[ 2010.04.04 16:22:46 ] eviwyn > I kicked you because you were annoying me
[ 2010.04.04 16:23:02 ] eviwyn > you got money you want to give me?
[ 2010.04.04 16:23:20 ] eviwyn > then I can invite you again yea.. otherwise just piss off
[ 2010.04.04 16:23:47 ] Dharna > kiddy you are so sweet :-)
[ 2010.04.04 16:23:56 ] eviwyn > thanks :D
Well.. come again. I made sure the standings are put correct for you with our alliance. You will be hunted down actively from now on in LowSec Essence:) Enjoy o/. Thats how the story goes..
PS: Stay tuned;) more comming soon! Its like a live tap straight from Essence huh :D
Loving the pics, very cool. How did you do them?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenHehe thanks! Well. I used to write blogposts on our internal forums before and I got this idea how I wanted to be able to put the action in the stories also into a visual output. So far I could only think of screenshots, but the actual screenshots don't have that dynamism in it. So I started sizing them, taking parts out of it and putting it all in one big whole using photoshop to get a feel to the action in the fights.. I hope it works. But it's mainly just screenshots and photoshop work:)

cool! job well done i'd say...
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI may have to steal your idea, although i am rubbish at photoshop =)
They really liven up the story and give a feel of action. very clever!
Sure thing! Feel free to use the idea;). Can't wait to see what you will do with it. And I am happy that you like the idea and to hear that it actually works.
