Loteaus' Travels

I have managed to lose 2 Incursus, 4 Atrons, 4 Thorax and 1 pod.
I have been able to personally dispatch 1 cyno, 1 noob ship and have the final blow on a Raven.
At each encounter I have managed to reduce the gaping whole that is my knowledge level.
Interaction with the corp members, Attending PVP classes, going on class and corp roams, waiting at a bubble, having the opportunity of giving recon info, travelling through Nullsec, 6 hops out from Hemin in a pod and then a noob ship etc... has allowed me to be less nervous about the new environment I'm in.
I know that this has helped me, because I was a nervous wreak after the first 2 days. Didn't know my ups from my downs. Toran, Deran, GG, DP, Joe, Billy, Yamir, Eomar Quest and Jysella to name a few have been great in removing this cloud of ignorance that I sit within. It's the little bits of information they provide, in a situation or during a lull in activity that has been really appreciated in regards to my development.
The generousity and the comradeship that the guys in Agony have shown makes me feel that I have made the right choice in wanting to join Agony. I know I have a steep climb ahead of me, but feel that I'm not alone and am well supported for the journey.
I like the Atron very much. I feel it is a good fit, for the type of pilot I am right now. Looking forward to fitting out more and seeing how the Ares fits me, once I have the skills trained.
I do not feel that the I am fitting into the Incursus the way I would like to. The micro managing required to fly it is a bit beyond me, at this stage.. Not going to give up... Still need to lose 3 more.
I felt that I did not use the Thorax to the best of it's abilities, when I flew them. I don't know if it was my lack of knowing how to fly them, the situation I found my self in with them or both.
Will continue to add to this thread as the days, weeks, months and hopefully years pass with myself as a part of Agony.
Please feel free to add comments to this thread, as I hope my perspective and those of others my help to grow the number of PVP lovers, with me as one of them.

GL with Agony.
If you want some solo frigate pointers, I'd check out some of Zao's videos, they're pretty excellent. http://www.twitch.tv/lokoforloki

Azual Skoll (an ex-agony pilot who ran PVP-U during his time) runs an excellent series called "Know your enemy". Very much worth looking into.
"Pretty. What do we blow up first?"
Yes, this is my freighter. No, I won't help you move.

I seem to have permission from She Who is to be Obeyed, ...
I'm glad Chrissy gave you permission.
And it's Skoll ... Skoal is the dip.

I did have a lovely story written, but closed the window before I posted it so, I'm now going to give you the Readers Digest version.
I was belt hopping and managed to snare a Cynabal, which got away. Must make sure I fit the scram on all my Vexors, instead of the point I had mistakenly fitted to this one.
I then hoped into a system, where Jysella had pointed a Thrasher. ROX, Darak and myself joined Jysella, just after he had popped. ROX and myself completed the job Jysella had started and removed the first Thrasher from play.
Darak and ROX then removed the next Thrasher.
Darak removed another Thrasher
I was focusing on yet another Thrasher, which I saw pleasantly pop before my eyes. (my first real solo kill)
As more and more arrived, ROX and Darak were to see their demise next.
This left me, fighting for my life, with what was left of the opposition. I was to remove the next Thrasher's shields before I popped, sending my pod to the first celestial I could find. I love the 1600mm plates!
We then spent some time with Caldak, around the another gate. Managed to get ourselves a Purifier.
Would have posted something more colourful, but could not remember the prose I had wrote before.
A lot of fun none the less.

(Similarly to this guy who calls himself a 'solo pvper' when he's just suicide ganking.)

First encounter was initially with Drake, caught in a bubble, off a gate, close to home. He was soon joined by a Tempest, with a vicious neut. on board. Eomar and myself were to lose our Vexors in the early days of this encounter. We both came back to the fight, where Eomar tragically lost his Vengence. Daren and Joe were keeping the fight going. I arrived with my second Vexor, at which point a Pilgrim had joined the fight. No more ships were lost on our side, however, the Tempest and Pilgrim were not so lucky. We were so happy to see such fun, and the Drake, ran away with his spoon. I was lucky enough to experience a neut. from both ships and had an overpowering desire to get me one of those! It seemed to swing the battle strongly in the opposition's favour.
The second encounter had us a Caracal and Rupture to our Killmail. Daren was on a high afterwards, so went off and released his energy upon a poor Probe cyno.
Good night.
