Stupid Is as Stupid Does

The Rebels were having some fun in Heild and Starwalker joined the local fleet in his shiny new Hawk. A cyclone was engaged and quickly succumbed to the mass of frigates. The cyclone might have been destroyed but the pilot, Titus Veridius, was not necessarily finished with the Rebels.

After a while Titus Veridius was back in Heild with his Gunpoint Diplomacy comrades. By this time the Rebel fleet had reduced to two and when Starwalker warped to Javen Kai he saw four Gunpoint pilots and Javen Kai bugging out. Starwalker decided that it was time to leave too.


Starwalker chose to warp away to a random belt rather than a safe and this decision was to lead to another incredibly stupid loss. Starwalker landed at the asteroid belt and rather than warp away to a proper safe he decided to check out the corporate chat channel.

Of course, Starwalker was not safe and the Gunpoint pilots were quick to him scan him down and before long Starwalker was surrounded. It was futile to try and escape and so he simply aligned out and hit warp. As usual, this was not to save the ship but to save the pod. The pod got away but the shiny new Hawk was simply a wreck.

Starwalker docked and entered his quarters. This was a ridiculous loss and he had no excuse for staying in an asteroid belt and then being distracted by the chat channel. Starwalker had been in New Eden for nearly a year and yet was still finding new ways to do stupid things.

Starwalker wondered if he had now exhausted stupid ways to lose a ship but somehow he doubted it.
