Trying to get back into the swing of things

I have been back a week now with no real success at doing what I do. Hunting for target has become more about trying to snag ships as they warp away then anything else. I have found that I am not able to engage those will to fight like I used to either. With some steady losses cause by poor judgement I find that I need to slow my pace a little and relearn somethings that I though were basic. Combined that with all the changes to ships and modules I feel lost more then when I was new to piracy and the lowsec life. Thanks to my corp mates in the Tuskers for putting up with my frustration and having me tag along so I can get my head back it to the game. I hope it wont be to much longer till I feel back at hope ganking all that I can see.

Back at it

Well it looks like i am back at it after a seriously long absence. Let me tell you things have changed, for good or bad I don't know. I just know that they have. I hardly see mission runners out and around. I really haven't seen that many other lowsec roamers either. I have mainly seen faction warfare plexers that want nothing to do with any type of real combat. All around I thought I would see more solo pilots out and small gangs with all the ship re-balancing(overbalancing) that has happened since the last time I was on regularly. Unfortunately the landscape still looks the same. The big difference is I no longer am current with the meta of ship type and fittings. But from what I have seen its mostly a kiting meta that is happening. But then again I cant really call it by the engagements I have had. I also have come back to a corp that I don't know. It is not the same people or feel. Hopefully with my return the old Tusker wolf pack mentality will come back as well. I know I could use a good old adhoc fleet of a bunch of solo pirates just heading in the same direction to get me back in touch with lowsec. I know that what contact I have had with other lowsec travelers has given me the impression that all they want to due is 1v1, which is something that I don't due as a rule. I stand by the idea that I only want to fight on my terms and with the best advantage I cant attain. I have stated it before I am a pirate not a pvp'er. I fight win, not to have a food fight. I love a good fight so dont get me wrong, but I like to win even more since this is the way I have made my living in eve for so long. Well before I go of track, I just wanted to post something and say that I am back hopefully for a good stay this time. I hope to shoot at some of you soon. P.S. I also got my 500th podkill recorded on BattleClinic since coming back.
