Why do you want to join?
I want to get out of WH space. I have more playtime for the coming 6 months due to RL changes and want to try higher end pvp again. I am also intrigued by the new content in Zarz / FW.
What Timezone are you? (EU, US, AU)
EU
Who is your vouch?
NoPro. I have not asked, but older people may remember me from the days of yore as well.
Tell us anything about yourself irl that you find appropriate (e.g. work full time, in late 20s, university student, etc)
I work full time in education, 35.
Tell us about your history in Eve ( Can be brief, i dont care about the time you went an did a lvl 4 mission)
A career of roughly 5 phases.
First, Curse alliance with Shinra. Shinra had an ‘elite small gang’ wing where I was drafted to fly interceptors. I left not too long after Shinra left Curse and went to kill Fountain alliance with BoB, around the time Sniper BS started to dominate alliance warfare.
Second, The Establishment which is probably the ‘main corp’ for me in all time. It ended as people went inactive. No one remembers it these days, but we were the first to use supercaps in PVP and made the term hotdropping famous. Trivia: The first ship to get blown up by a supercap in eve was a Thorax, but the KM is lost to time.
Third, Mad Bombers, which was part of Ushra’Khan until relations sadly went sour and we went rogue. Leaving U’K on bad terms with some people there is probably my only real regret in EvE. Mad Bombers is the corp some older people here might know me from as at the time I was CEO it was part of HYDRA and Mad Bombers, Genos, V0lta and some others would fly together from time to time.
Fourth, huge pile of inactivity mainly wasted in RvB and which ended with a 3 year AFK in Volta. I think I went on perhaps one or two Ishtar fleets then went AFK as RL kicked in (end of university times).
Fifth, I was on sick leave for two months and installed EvE again. I wake up in my Ishtar somewhere in the north of eve after what must be 5 or 6 years offline. That was Nov 2018. I joined a WH corp which ended up being part of New Jovian Collective. It’s been a kind of retirement pvp ever since.
Can you fly a mainbox carrier? (Can be on toon other than main but must be able to fly dread on some other account)
No. I have an alt with carrier skill, though atm lvl 1. No skill in fighters.
Do you have HAC 5?
Yes
Do you have recon 5?
Yes
Do you have all cruisers 5 incl T2 weapons? (If not which ones)
Yes, though perhaps spread over the toons.
Do you have Trig destroyer/cruiser trained (and T2 guns)?
Yes
Do you have all battleships 5 incl T2 weapons? (if not which ones)
Yes, again spread out a bit across all toons.
Do you have a FAX alt?
Yes, though low skill atm. Carrier lvl 1, Cap RR lvl 4. About 350k sp could be injected to accelerate this.
Do you have a super alt?
No.
Do you have a titan alt?
No
Have you applied ALL your Characters tokens on the HR Tool https://auth.weformvolta.com/?
Failing to do this will auto reject your appication as you cannot follow clear instructions we already have Kinsy for this
Yes.
Do you have any useful spies? (please do not post any info here)
Not really no. I was always too much e-honor to do spying anyways. I lurk and gather intel the old fashioned way. I care slightly less these days though.
Are you offended by common shittalk using internet words? (nothing over the top, however some spicey words are occasionally said.)
No
Link a zkill kill you are part of and think was cool. Why was it cool?
I mean it is just a gank, but it was cool because that is Loiso Vinneve’s Leshak in the hold and we set a very clever trap for him 400km of their station. I like traps.
For a fight the best one recently was Related Kills | J131718 | 2023-12-14 00:00 | zKillboard
It sadly did not work out for us as we could not Neut the Apostle and they kept bringing in more and more stuff. Not our best fight either by a long shot as we did a lot of mistakes. Was intense though.
Please link a fit that you think is good for small gang nano (can be text copy paste or zkill link) Vedmak | Pylseprinsen | Killmail | zKillboard
You have tackled a super ratting in an anomaly 10+ jumps from the fleet, how do you attempt to keep your dictor alive and ensure tackle on the super for long enough for the fleet to come? (10+ minutes) I bubble him outside SB range and survive with my cloak. Probably use a nearby celestial or warpable and make perches on his grid to avoid getting locked up during cloak cooldown. Make sure there is a BM dropped around where the super is.
