Hey all, produced a new video.

TANK! (http://dl.eve-files.com/media/corp/lioneironaut/TANKtest2.avi)

Length: 20:00
Res: 1680x1050
Size: 630mb

Ships Featured: Dominix, Claymore, Raven, Tempest

I recommend playing it with VLC player.

The footage is mostly solo pvp as usual, with a little small gang thrown in. All ships with a shield booster are crystal-ed.

Overall I've had some awful luck with PvP since my previous video - have lost untold numbers of ships flying blindly in 0.0, and generally have been wasting large sums of isk. The footage reflects this, to some extent - many of the fights don't end well for me, but I think it still makes an enjoyable watch. Luckily, I joined with the awesome folks in Matari Exodus, which has eased the pain a little. The footage is also crystal-heavy, which I realize some people object to, but the ships flown are somewhat non-traditional (Claymore, Raven) so I hope that satisfies those people. I also spent more effort on editing, which I hope works out well!

I tried to blaze a new path with the music - it's jazzy and generally chilled out.
Track List
TANK! - The Seatbelts
Everything - Radio Citizen
Under the Hood - Specifics
Lost Where I Belong - Andreya Triana (Flying Lotus remix)
Tailor Made (feat. Milosh) - Daedelus

I hope you enjoy and I would love to hear all feedback, positive or otherwise!

Good editing work on this one, looked great. It was interesting to see the non-flawless fights and made some of the ones where you clearly won more satisfying to watch.

Liked watching the Raven in action as it has always held a special place in my heart PvP wise.

Also thanks for stating that you were using crystals, have no problem watching videos with implant sets, booster alts, etc as long as it's stated up front.

Great video, great music, and was awesome watching one of my terrible ex-corpmates lose a cynabal to a claymore with no point on him :)

Oh god. Please no, must I relive my worst night in EVE? Somehow after that fuck up I saw your name, saw your corp, and thought 'oh shit he's gonna have frapsed that'.

Thanks to you I've made a rule for myself to never fly expensive shit after 1am. :<

yeah I was tossing up between Tank!, The Real Folk Blues, and fittingly enough, Space Lion.

Sweet video btw man, but never have I seen so many ec-300s or burnt out modules :lol:

Good shit for the rest of the vid! The number of ECM drones made me cringe. :<

Edit: Though I must wonder, did you put in the fight against 9pool for any reason other than comedy value? Because IMHO, it was mainly just a major nanogang-fuckup and a really tired cynabal rather than superb flying on your part. :P (No offence intended.)

Partly comedy, partly just because it's one of the few scenes of me actually killing stuff . :P You're right, it didn't involve any particular pilot skill on my part.

Any dead FOTM angel ship makes me happy and that fight in particular was one of the most entertaining to watch.

RAAAAAAAGE fuck I hate angel ships, when are people going to understand that they will never get a good fight in an overpowered ship? All they will get are ganks, either them ganking some poor guy or them getting ganked by a blob. And it's expensive for most people, which makes them fly avoid risk even more, reducing the small chance to get a good fight even further. Damn I hate these people.

ECM drones make me so mad - they've ruined just about every solo fight I've ever had, and I've just started fitting smartbombs to everything now to compensate for the widespread faggotry.

Anyway, good fights, odd seeing RR BS though. =p

Every drone was an ECM drone, jesus.

Very entertaining vid.

How do I trial account noob scout? :razor:

Nice vid though, awesome micromanaging heat etc.

I kind of agree when flying a solo Dramiel, but I feel people want to kill me more when flying Cynabal, and therefore they do silly things and try to hero tackle etc.

Anyways, downloading this vid =)

edit: sweet Legion kill :D


edit: DAYUM! you like to burn you shield boosters ey ^^ good vid tho

Yeah honestly this is pretty much the norm for me now. Not sure why it's gotten so awful lately, but overall it's the number of hurricanes and drakes being flown, as a flight of ec-300s is much more effective than light drones, especially when both ships are fine at killing frigates as is. And when a small-medium size BC gang all bring ec-300s, you almost don't even need a falcon anymore.

Not defending ECM drones or anything, but today alone I've escaped 3 times in my cane simply because I got a lucky jam on somebody.

They're certainly very useful, which is part of the problem. Also to me at least there is a big difference between using some ECM drones to escape when you see 1 opponent morph into 4 and blotting out the sun with ECM drones on a guy soloing like in the video.
