Started Roaming Black Rise in a Fed Navy Comet.
Scram / Web / Nuet / Blaster / Passive Tank / Warriors

First content was Tristan in a Small, was sure he was bait so waited until I was alone in system with him.
Overheated mids when I slid cause I figured he'd kite me. But he was sitting at 8km and was easy to tackle.
Went down without much of a challenge, got down to about 60% armor.
Turned out he might have been bait though since as soon as i engaged two more jumped into system.
Punisher was sliding in to save him as he was dying and I was sure I would get tackled.
Puni was slow and I escaped... left my drones =/
I find I don't take enough fights. I then spent a good 3 hours NOT taking fights. Sitting at safes tweeking fits. Moving to a more active set of systems were faction warfare was up. Getting a Jita alt to bring in some Comets and Hookbills to Ichoriya so I could re-ship closer to the Faction Warfare systems... but in general, just not fighting enough. I think I don't want to take fights I will lose, but maybe I think I will lose more than I actually will.

Jumped in on a fight with an Ishkur and Incursus outside a plex. Thought maybe I could pick off the Ishkur while he was killing the Incursus.
But when I landed the fight was over and the Ishkur was sitting there waiting for me.
I couldn't even touch him, he kept me at 18km the whole time pointed. I could never close enough to get a web, scram or even my guns on him. Drones were all I had. Top speed for my Comet at 2500 just isnt enough for the Kiteys. Reshipping in Ichoriya.

I'm going to try a new fit. I've been wanting to fly a Hookbill for a while so I brought some up with the Comets for Ichoriya reshipping.
This will be a duel-web duel-prop Hookbill with a SAAR. I am carrying a tracking disrupter in it also, as I might just drop the MWD and not bother to chase kiteys.
Next kill doesn't count. I jumped in on Kirsid's fight as he was going down. We were in standing fleet together.

Thought I would die to a Slicer for sure, unless I could catch him fast.
So I overheated everything again. Overheated mwd @ 4300 so I thought I had a chance.
Wow did I screw EVERYTHING up on this one. I was so consumed with tackling him I forgot to uhm... shoot him.
So finally I got him tackled and realized I should maybe turn on my rockets. I was getting pounded which reminded me to turn OFF my MWD and turn on my AB. I had him duel-webbed though so he was starting to take a beating.
But I was in serious trouble... about 50% into Hull already. I was defiantely gonna die. Oh Wait! I have a SAAR. Let's rep.
I burned out my whole mid-slot except the scram thankfully, and oh my gosh that SAAR repped for the win. SAAR held me at around 30% hull once I started repping. FInally took him down.

Wow... I sure like that hull tank / SAAR.

Knew there was a solid chance I would lose this fight. Going up against a Dragoon in a small. But hey I'm a rocket ship, let's see how it goes with no cap for the SAAR.

Well... went about as expected. Nueted out upon landing. Hull tanked okayish without the SAAR but I only got him to half armor before he destroyed me. Lost the scram to the nuet also so he could have left if he felt he was in any danger. Note to self - No Dragoons.
Reship in a new Hookbill.

Okay I'm getting bolder now. Took drugs this time. Coaxster would be proud.
Saw a Tristan and went without hesitation. Overheated... remembered to shoot him and rep myself... =) Progress.
https://zkillboard.com/kill/72792810/
Now to remember to turn off my mods and not burn them out. He could have gotten away cause I burnt the scram for no good reason. Silly Tristan.

Well... whoopsy. Engaged an Atron and never changed my orbital or brain into realizing I was optimal at 7500 instead of 2500. Started a good fight and we got into a repping battle and I capped out. BUT... if I would have been set at my optimal correctly it never would have gotten that far.

Oh... and he podded me. 0.o
https://zkillboard.com/kill/72793031/
Re-ship back in Stacmon this time. Only have slow tanky comets here so... that's what I will go in.
Passed on a Daredevil. No point in chasing that in my tanky slow Comet. Would have tried it in the Hookbill.

Wow stupidity is happening... So once again changing ships bit me in the brain.
Went after a Merlin... should be fine. Forgot to launch drones. Ran out of Ammo (forgot to check inventory). Time to go to bed

Took a nuet-fit Dragoon out, thought I would sit in a small and see what I could take.
Sat in a small for a while, got no takers. Moved on to a hotter system.
Ran into a gate camp with 3 on gate.
Almost took down the frigate before I got deaded. sigh.... aaaaaaand podded.

Havent Soloed in a bit... thought I'd blow up some ships.
Well I succeeded.
https://zkillboard.com/kill/73081758/
I think I'm the Queen of forgetting to do something before engaging.
Like - forget to take the drugs I bought, or... engage before i finish loading Nanite Paste in my SAAR. Can't turn on SAAR. Dead
