Summarizing the last week...

From now on I won't comment on every kills or losses in separate posts but I will write the cause of the fights and the answers for the questions: What was done well?, What should be changed? and What new trick has been learned?

So I have one kill: a Rifter and two losses: an Incursus and a Vexor.

About the kill I cannot say any important. It was a fair duel with Artwig. We agreed about a month ago in a revenge for his Incursus loss. He did not learned Thermodynamics and he had some crap T1 ammo loaded so he did not have a chance to beat me. He started with 90% shield but that one does not matter, I was highly overDPS him. See ya in one month!

The Incursus loss was a semi-duel. We were almost alone in the system, and atanV started to search me in a Jaguar. I warped to 70 kms to a belt and I started to move away. He jumped to 0, and started to follow me. MWD on and a headshake on local. He asked me whether I want him to change to a Rifter. I was curious about this setup so I told him yes. He changed and I lost.
This fight is a very important one. He was 3-5000 meters away and I could not get closer. It would be a different story if I would use AB instead of MWD. Another factor is the gun-ammo combination. If I would be able to use T2 blasters with Null ammo... Maybe that one could turn the tides of the fight. My drone was the only damage dealer from my side.
Why this fight is so important? Because if I wanna go to Taranis I will have the same fights. Blaster boat with buffer tank. My DPS would be higher than with the Incursus but only if I could reach my opponent. My MWD has been killed at the very first moment of the engagement so I have to test AB fitted Incursus too. As I heard dual-prop Taranis could be a viable path. MWD-only is not, I am sure.

The Vexor loss was a disaster. I was in a radar site, fighting with NPCs. They hit me hard and then the Stabber FI and the Rifter arrived. I cannot tell for sure that they scanned me. I was checking close range dir. scanner frequently but the result was full of NPCs and drones so it is possible that there were scanner probes but I didn't notice them. Or maybe there were no scanners but the site was scanned before and it was checked periodically whether a moron starts it or not. I don't know. I can ask anyway.
The new trick I have learned: pre-scan a Radar site and use that as a bait. It could work.
