This evening was my first spell 'on duty' for the war effort.
It wasn't quite what I was expecting. I asked for a few pointers in the militia channel but I guess people were busy typing their x's and didn't notice.
I spent a while listening in on the conversations about war targets in distant system x, and war targets in even more distant system y although it didn't appear much came of any of the reports.
Eventually someone mentioned that there were some targets in a system close enough to be reachable before bed time so I headed on over. Local showed 1 red star and a handful of purple, it was also packed with a bunch of 'non-combatants' although it looked like Concord felt differently!
So I flew to the 'plex, nothing but a few NPC battleships (on our side!), did a quick tour of the stations expecting a small group of friendlies sat outside waiting for the target to come out. Nothing.
So then I wasn't quite sure what to do with myself. I did a quick couple of tours around the surrounding systems. Nothing.
Closest I got to a fight was a flashy pirate that warped into the 'plex just as I warped out. Probably for the best though!
Hopefully things will pick up and they'll be some slightly more talkative people around next time...

Into the fray
I finally bit the bullet today and signed up for Factional Warfare.
Of course, nothing it ever quite as simple and straightforward as that, and I'm left waiting on timers again!
I'm really very new to PvP in Eve, obviously I've been shot at and killed plenty of times, but I've never actually entered into combat with another capsuleer voluntarily. Factional Warfare was (apparently) designed for people just like me, so I thought I'd give it a go.
I wanted the option to pull out of it later on if I find that it's not quite my cup of tea, but I didn't want my employment history to reflect my fickle nature so I created my own corp and signed that up. I've got about 16 hours of the 24 left, so I should be able to enter into my first pew pew sometime tomorrow. I really have no idea what to expect but I'm quite excited.
Most of all, I'm hoping I might find some like-minded pilots to join forces with somewhere down the line. My little crew has slowly dwindled and I'm the only regular player left so things have been a bit lonely recently!
So, Amarr scum, quake in your pods for MalphasWats will be bringing his guns to bear in a system near you!
