T2 Gunz Yo!

Earlier to today I finished training Small Blaster V and immediately plugged in Small Blaster Specialisation. This would allow me fit Tech Two(T2) Blasters and use T2 Ammunition.

This was a very good fight against an experienced player. One that I probably would not have won without T2 Ammo in this case Null, the blaster long range ammo.

I often play Eve with my generic tablet (iPad) close by. On here I have evemaps and eve-kill open. Evemaps open to the region I am flying in, to make travelling easier. I use Eve-kill to gain Intel on those in local. The whole time I am in a system, I am trying to gather as much Intel on people I may be fighting. Trying to put characters in local to ships in space. I knew that it was this character flying the slasher, as he was talking to someone in local. So I looked him up on eve-kill and his last few losses were slashers. So I looked at the fit, pretty standard for Lowsec, and saw he was using a tracking speed script each of the last three times he had died. Now this could be complete coincidence, but I decided on my plan of action.

He warped into me in a novice FW site. With null loaded in my T2 Neutron Blasters I decided to keep at range 7500m, hopefully negating the tracking script. He landed some very good hits but as I pulled range his damage dropped and thankfully mine continued quite high. At this point his Tracking Disruptor stopped. The fight had not long started so couldn't be due to low capacitor. He was swapping scripts to an optimal range script, to cut down my long range damage. I immediately began to approach, without orbiting my long range Null even under Optimal Range TD was still getting very good hits and he exploded.

Could I have won that fight without Null? Possibly, but very unlikely. I could've used longer range faction ammo, but the DPS and range would not have been anywhere near as high as with Null.

All this and only 1.1 Million Skillpoints.
