Only reason I have the armor repair atm is as you said. I don’t fully utilize the sheild booster.. when my skills have been improved enough. I’d be all for not having it. =P till then.. its a pretty fair solution. have saved my ass before accually.

That being said.. this was my first pvp that I did not prepare for. =P I am happy and abit proud I got away with the chok and not in cloning form =P would’ve been sad to loose my 5x 12mil +3 implants x[ lol

Yeah, sadly I didn’t get much of that ore either. That five-day-old guy in the Atron took it all, and then (I think) blew up most of it; he said something about only being able to fit 897 units in his cargo hold. I did stop shooting at you long enough to launch a missile at him, but he left. :(

Oddly enough, when I first started playing this game mining barges were new, and battleship mining was still a respectable thing to do. These days you don’t see it much, though.

One fitting tip — it’s often a mistake to put an armor repairer and a shield repairer on the same ship. If your enemy gets through the shield repairer, it’s probably because you are out of capacitor; and that means the armor repairer isn’t going to do you a lot of good. Something in that low slot that helps your shield might be better. Alternatively, I have heard of semi-respectable armor fits for Ravens, where you don’t worry about the shield at all.

Heh.. well.. It surely wasn’t fit for mining. And from the looks of it not fit for battling. Need to experiment some more… And the feeling was mutual about the “Kaboom” though I wanted you to be do the “Kabooming” =P you got of with what must have been close to 35k Solid Pyroxeres. And very unfortunet for me all my clansmen were offline.

So all I could do was to ask friends, who were all 20+ jumps away, but willing to help. When I realized that just wouldn’t cut it time wise. I asked in local. And help was granted.

My lesson here was:

Don’t mine in a raven.
Don’t shoot first.
Have Hammerheads in dronebay instead of hornets and mining drones only.
Have more than two Cruise Missile Launchers and more than 200 missiles in cargohold.
Have a Warp Core Stabilizer -_-
Last but not least.. train train and double train me skills.

Thanks to Marlenus for the eve lesson and thanks for the helpful samaritan who repped me.
