Who says auto-pilot is Dead?

Recently, I returned to Amamake, six days ago in fact. I was quite happy with my previous role as a Snigger in Pandemic Legion, but the reason I left Fountain is another entry. In short, we (the heretic crew) have returned because: It's fucking Amamake.

And return we did. Our stated goal? Why nothing else than to find some chimney's to shit in this Christmas season.

And shit down chimneys we did. We've joined Final Agony, a pirate corporation formed by Villwrath and his A-team, formerly Beyond Divinity.

Enough ~words~.

I'd like to talk about one very specific chimney I had the pleasure of squatting over today. On a whim, we decided to put together a small camp and park it on the ossogur gate. A couple BS and a hictor. The usual traffic is coming through; shuttles, T1 frigates. We didn't really bother applying remote sensor boosters to Switch 4's broadsword to tackle them. But then, not three minutes into the camp, an Ashimmu --the blood raider pirate cruiser-- appeared on my overview. It was autopiloting, from god knows where, most likely on it's way to rens. I hear "Point!" over vent, Switch 4 calling an infini-point on the poor bastard. I fired off a volley of Scorch L from my Mega Pulses and go for a quick reload - "He's going 200m/s and approaching the gate, wont hurt to increase my DPS...he's still in shields..."

Seconds later, the Ashimmu explodes. It was shield tanked.

I'm pretty confident piracy in Amamake is going to be in good business for years to come, even if we depend solely on the power of morons in EvE online. I love this system.
