Hey Paul,
I wanted to thank you, over the past couple of months i have been a avid reader of your blog. I always loved the way you would gank mission runners and its something iv always wanted to do, but never really set out to doin it.
until recently...
On Friday i decided stuff it I have nothing to lose, so i decided to setup shop in Dodixie Solar System and bought myself a cane and a probing ship. Friday was pretty slow with no1 biting, but i did encounter a guy that would just run 1 mission, never completing it just farming the rats. No matter what i did he would never target me, eventually he convoed me at we got talking. I played the nice guy with no money and continued to loot his wrecks which he didnt have much of a problem with.
So today i log on and see him in local, so i decided to warp to his bookmark and see if he was there. Luckily he was, so i thought i would change things up and started to "help" him clear the rats. When we were done i targetted him and prayed he had auto target on, BOOM jackpot he targetted me back. I started to orbit him and next thing he opens up on me, but immediately apologizes in chat saying that he thought I was a rat. I start seeing dollar signs and begin to open up on him, had my neuts and distruptor goin. He begins to beg in chat but this was a NAVY MEGATHRON and this was gonna be my 1ST SOLO KILL!! So he starts leaking into hull and i see he starts tanking a little so i start over heating and he shatters into a beautiful white plume of smoke.
At this point im having the mother of all adrenaline rushes and my hands were shaking, i open his wreck and cha-ching:

So big thank you for inspiring me to try this, my 1st solo kill was a navy megathron and he dropped awesome loot valued over 500mil!
Never stop writing and i look forward to reading more of your devilous indevours!

Well done!
Thanks guys, this has been one of my highlights in my eve career. The funny thing is only afterwards did i realise i should have asked for a ransom, i was so caught up in the moment. But hey there will be a next time!
Robin, if you like this kind of thing, consider joining Suddenly Ninjas.
Dude in the Navy Mega deserved it. What's someone doing in a .9 system with that pimped a fit? And not a real good one either.
Oops. Almost shit on you for grossly exaggerating the drop, but it's BattleClinic's numbers that are borked. Nice kill.
