Beware the Basilisk

Yesterday my skill training for Logistics Cruiser V finally completed and as such I was finally able to fly EVE Rookies’ Basilisk! I am still missing Capacitor Management V and Shield Emission Systems V to really nail that down but Logistics Cruiser V is way more important. Anyway, flying Logi for the incursion fleet was amazing! I almost immediately noticed that once I do not have to shoot things anymore I completely lose track of which wave we are currently in. 😆

It wasn’t really the very first time I flew logi for (some of) the EVE Rookies crew: last week we formed a small group under The Quartermaster and went to low-sec to do the Rogue Drone event sites. After about two hours (and me running dangerously low on cap boosters because logi frigates are not really capacitor powerhouses) we were murdered by a couple of frigates because right at that time our fleet decided to stretch itself too thin, with the FC burning to some target 120 km away, half the fleet following him, the other half staying where they were and we basically all died. Doing logi in the actual event sites was awesome, though!

Luckily, last night’s incursion fleet went a lot better. 🙂 We did have this one Vindicator that basically had paper shields because they put 5 webs on it and I didn’t really realize what that means until it got aggroed a second time. Apart from that everything went without a hitch and I was very happy to have paused skilling for the Vargur (sorry, Ajaqa!) to get into the Basilisk. 😁 But don’t worry, I’ll get into the Vargur eventually because that will more easily allow me to fly with TDF and/or WTM fleets as well.

For now I will be out there, listening for all the desperate “medic!” screams by victims of unjust aggression. See you out there!
