− | == Personal Info ==
| |
− |
| |
− | I am 19 years old and a BSc Computer Science student in Wales, UK. I enjoy Eve because of the harsh PvP, the hilariously cruel community and how for only £15 a month it can fill the time dozens of games could. While Eve does take a few hours away from me a day, I maintain that real life comes first (unless its boring, like revision) and I get really annoyed at directors who tell me how much to play (which is the reason for leaving alot of 0.0 corporations).

| |
− | == Background ==
| |
− | Joining very late to the game with Revelations, I set out to catch up. I initially joined the game after reading about the great scams, but it took several trial accounts to finally get me hooked because of the boring tutorial which I usually skipped.
| |
− |
| |
− | At first I did mining and mission running, even training Exhumers up before finding the calling of PvP. This calling came from can flippers. Commonly they would steal my ore, and so I fitted a warp disruptor to stop them long enough for my drones to kill them.
| |
− |
| |
− | Then the objective became to train a Carrier, at 5 months old. Little did I know at the time that it would take 18 months before I finally stepped into one, which I now uses when needed and shows off to recruits.
| |
− |
| |
− | With only 15 million SP, I found myself in the Mercenary Coalition. Mostly through following a thread of contacts and not drawing attention to this fact.
| |
− |
| |
− | Deep down I think I am a carebear still though, as I do enjoy ratting and mission running for a few hours to relax. However when that gets boring I want to kill someone.
| |
− |
| |

| |
− | == Skills ==
| |
− | Currently can fly all Gallente ships, battleship and below excluding commandships. He also is often found in battlecruisers of the other races, but lack of tech 2 weaponry in other races prevents them from becoming used often. However the focus at this time is to train both the "sexy races", being Gallente and Amarr, completely.
| |
− |
| |
− | When I created this character, I had no idea what attributes meant. Therefore they are not balanced and the high memory has often determined my skill training into Drones so heavily at first (at one point he had 3.5mil SP in drones, 850k SP in Gunnery).

− | == Corporation <nowiki>History</nowiki> ==
| |
− | * Joined [[Dark Invaders (Player corporation)]] 2007.02.05, left 7 hours later - Once subscribed to the game he instantly joined a corporation, but found it was too far away and received a better offer.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[Red Bulls (Player corporation)]] 2007.02.05, left 2007.04.19 - Corporation was a mission running group in Caldari space, which started Tim on his way to losing his standings with Gallente Federation. Left Corporation when half the members left after an internal argument between directors.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Founded [[Pheonix Inc (Player corporation)]] on 2007.04.19, left 2007.06.26 - Started his own corporation to work with his real life friends. Ended when friends quit.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[The Caldari Confederation (Player corporation)]] 2007.06.26, left 2007.08.28 - Previously became friends with representatives in this corporation and had blue standings for previous corporation. General mission running corporation with some mining, but was firs experience in real PvP aswell as some members did anti-pirate roams into low security space, sometimes 0.0 gatecamps and empire wars.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[Skiddies of Doom (Player corporation)]] 2007.08.28, left 2007.11.25 - Mercenary corporation formed of members of The Caldari Confederation who became tired of limitations of a PvE focused corporation. Leadership had friends in Triumvirate corporation, Exanimo Inc, so often did low sec piracy with them when not running contracts.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[Exanimo Inc (Player corporation)]] 2007.11.25, left 2007.12.14 - Exanimo Inc left Triumvirate, and so leadership offered merge of Skiddies of Doom into Exanimo Inc. In this period Exanimo Inc occupied Lonetrek low security space, acting as pirates for entertainment. Leadership was contacted about possibility of joining the Mercenary Coalition and their efforts in taking Period Basis. This was accepted, but when the CEO was ill for a week, the temporary CEO change the plan and decided to decline MC's offer. Two-thirds of the membership left to replacement corporation to accept MC's offer.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[Vidar Fierd (Player corporation)]] 2007.12.14, left 2008.03.11 - Moved down to Period Basis and helped out. However, being an Interceptor pilot in a capital war is very boring and does not give good killboard results. Vidar Fierd was accepted as members to the Mercenary Coalition unanimously on 2007.12.18 after few nights of Vidar composing a third of the fleets. Left eventually during examination period because of time dedications.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[Genos Occidere (Player corporation)]] 2008.03.11, left 2008.08.29 - Moved back to empire to return to piracy. Genos Occidere was a relaxed and undemanding home for the busy period of my life, where PvP was ample whenever needed. However, piracy was not profitable and left TimMc with not enough security status to earn ISK. Left after the summer holidays when corporation joined Factional Warfare.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[SolaR KilleRs (Player corporation)]] 2008.08.29, left 2008.09.16 - Moved to this corporation who operated in AAA space. Ratted for most of the time, with occasional roams into Goonswarm space to kill ratters. Left when told had to accumulate 30 kills a month, which was never told during recruitment.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Founded [[The Motley Crew (Player corporation)]] on 2008.09.16, left 2008.10.30 - Created this corporation to work with real life friend who had just left Pure alliance, as they were being kicked out of 0.0. Same as Pheonix Inc, the corporation was based off the Philosophy that Eve should be fun and corporations should leave members alone for the most part. However, recruitment never yeilded results before finding another corporation who had the same ideas, so the corporations merged.
| |
− |
| |
− | * Joined [[Brutal Deliverance (Player corporation)]] 2008.10.30 - Spend first month in empire; recruiting, attempting mercenary contracts and roaming into 0.0 KIA space. Later found OWN alliance and moved to Wicked Creek, then to Deklein where currently operate.

| |
− | * [[Uedama_(System)|Uedama]] (0.5) ''03/28/07 17:21:00'' - First kill ever. Fitted a warp disruptor to a mining barge and killed a can flipper. [http://www.battleclinic.com/eve_online/pk/view.php?type=player&name=TimMc&id=2764649&page=15&filter=kills#mail Link]
| |
− | * [[Kubinen_(System)|Kubinen]] (0.4) ''04/11/07 15:38:00'' - Attempted to kill a brutix with a friend. My friends Drake died and my Thorax escaped, but the Brutix died a few minutes later to another gang. My friend quit the game after that loss.

| |
− | * [[Saranen_(System)|Saranen]] (0.1) ''06/29/07 15:37:00'' - Found a pirate in a vexor in a belt, and proceeded to have a short slugfest where he fought back. Older player so had some tech 2 fittings while I had none.
| |
− | * [[Tartoken_(System)|Tartoken]] (0.1) "07/22/07 15:47:00" - First good gang skirmish. My hurricane, a scorpion and ishtar against blackbird, crow, drake and another ship. Ended in flawless victory and was very exciting to be so deep into low sec fighting pirates.

| |
− | * [[Paara_(System)|Paara]] (0.8) ''10/05/07 10:27:00'' - Had some good fights in Skiddies as mercenaries. I suppose it was because we were all on together, all fairly new and all eager. This one stood out though because it was a great joust between two overpowered ships at the time, Myrmidon with 5 Ogre IIs and a Drake with its insane tank. We duked it out on a station and he died just as his friend in another drake arrived. [http://www.battleclinic.com/eve_online/pk/view.php?type=player&name=TimMc&id=2246944&page=14&filter=kills#mail Link]

− | * [[Tamo_(System)|Tamo]] (0.3) ''12/09/07 to 12/10/07'' - Over the course of a couple days we found a guy mission running in low sec with faction ships. He lost around 4 billion in a few days. Examino Inc were dominating [[Lonetrek_(Region)|Lonetrek]] low sec space at this time with gatecamps and gangs.

| |
− | * [[Ezzara_(System)|Ezzara]] (0.2) ''03/20/08 23:32:00'' - After MC, I went back to piracy. This has to be one of the most hilarious kills in that time, as my friend probed down a guy who had a mission active there, but was swapping between a drake and retriever to finish the mission and mine it. Killed his drake, stole his retriever and sold it, then killed his industrial and stole the ore. Awesome.

− | * [[QSF-EJ_(System)|QSF-EJ]] (0.1) ''08/31/08 23:38:00 - 00:00:00'' - As if you ever needed proof that FTZ and those carebear alliances suck at PvP, this is it. Over the course of 30 minutes a sacrilage, a vagabond, a huggin and my ares killed a battleship, 2 battlecruisers, a HAC and 2 cruisers. Why? Because when we killed the Raven and Drake who were ratting, they undocked to defend themselves with a few battleships and smaller ships. We just speed tanked, with most the fire aimed at my Ares. The anything that chased us off station died quickly when I turned around to web it, and some of the battleships got cocky and died on station.

− | * [[Hagilur_(System)|Hagilur]] (0.4) ''11/03/08 12:40:00'' - My first kill in Brutal Deliverance. I scanned down a vexor to a belt, attack it with my blasteranis, but was quickly attacked by a vagabond who arrived. BAIT! I zoomed off, but the vexor was killed a little later by a Zealot. [[http://www.battleclinic.com/eve_online/pk/view.php?type=player&name=TimMc&id=5130827&page=4&filter=kills#mail Link]
| |
− | * [[UD-AOK_(System)|UD-AOK]] (0.0) ''11/04/08 22:39:00'' - I scanned down a cyno alt before he started it up. Locked him down and got the whole gang through for a start to our killboard. Was very exciting because we had been trying to a week to find a kill.
| |
− | * [[Urlen_(System)|Urlen]] (1.0) ''11/14/08 01:27:00'' - My only kill in a contract against a bunch of empire loving station huggers. We were 100km off a hostile dominix with our 2 cruisers, but this dominix was not so brave. He called in a corpmate, and when he logged in I remembered where he logged out and we zoomed off in that direction and held at a gate for him. We just podded him as the Dominix came to help, and we ran off. [http://www.battleclinic.com/eve_online/pk/view.php?type=player&name=TimMc&id=5176895&page=4&filter=kills#mail Link]

− | * [[K3JR-J_(System)|K3JR-J]] (0.0) ''01/12/09 16:37:00'' - We decided to roam into [[Venal_(Region)|Venal]] to see what happened. Instead of catching ratters, who were very quick or using macros, I found a Sabre pilot who called me chicken for not fight a dual with him in a Taranis. My friends jumped in when he shot me, I docked and then he docked. However he then undocked in a Dominix and fought us all. Took him out without a single loss, and it was fun from my perspective because I was zooming in and out of web range. First he hadn't locked me, then he did so I went back to 20km. Then he deagressed and I zoomed in again. Just as he died, his friend in another dominix undocked. Then when we ran, his corporation chased us.

− | * [[93PI-4_(System)|93PI-4]] (0.0) ''01/16/09 23:52:00 - 01:39:00'' - Gatecamping rarely produces good battles, but breaking these camps are great. In this circumstance Brutal Deliverance were having a roam with Chicks on Speed down in 93PI-4, which is usually camped by a higher calibre of player. In this case, Anarchy alliance. We dropped in and had a nice skirmish, even though a couple of them escaped and we had no losses.

− | Then we camped, then were chased off by a battleship gang. We camp back a while later to find a Armageddon with a fleet of tech 1 frigates, destroyers and cruisers around it from IMPERIUM alliance. Our numbers had dwindled as people logged off, but we had some new faces from Wildly Inappropriate to help us. In the following skirmish we killed all of them, suffering a few losses of comparatively expensive ships. However, as a interceptor pilot I loved it. I zoomed through the battle and picked off the frigates and destroyers, then up to cruisers and finally the battleship dealing a third of the damage. Nothing could hit me, and looking at their setups its obviously they were not setup to do so.

− | * When in Mercenary Coalition, flew Taranis and Ares while everyone else was in Capital ships and battleships, due to Skillpoint limitations. To make up for this, I flew with 2 Polycarbon rigs, bringing the price of the ship from 20mil to 110mil ISK. Lost both of them too, to BoB Vagabonds.
| |
− | * First time he saw a carrier, it wasn't a friendly encounter. [http://www.battleclinic.com/eve_online/pk/view.php?type=player&name=TimMc&id=2555038&page=2&filter=losses#mail Link]
| |
− | * Had a 1v1 noobship dual with a member of Mercenary Coalition. My velator beat his Ibis, but his battlebadger quickly melted me afterwards.
| |
− | * When a pirate constantly tried to retrieve skillbooks with a shuttle in high sec space, but constantly was killed by Minmatar police. Once a random Taranis pilot even joined in and podded me.
| |
− | * Flies mostly Gallente, except an Amarr Carrier and the Caldari Drake. Finds the Drake is a great gatecamper in numbers since the alpha strike and passive tank.
| |
− | * When new, constantly tried to fly ships too big and lost them (Catalyst on Level 1's, Dominix on Level 3's). But now the opposite has happened, and flies a Taranis with 33mil SP.
