Hey Lightning. Perhaps you don't remember, I only run Caldari. I only train Caldari, so I can't really fight with anything else.

As for the weapon, I used my Kaala RR which to my mind is actually superior to the Ishukone ARR at range. I think he didn't have a Kaala RR because I believe I saw him earlier with a SR which would have taken up the other light weapon slot.

I was amused that while he was basicly obliterating anyone he came across with his Frame's, as soon as he had another Frame's to deal with, he ran bleating. Talk about cowardice! :) That seems to be the way of people generally in this game.

Not necessarily cowardice, there's a special term for it but I always forget. Basically predators avoid harm so as to be able to hunt another day. They play it smart by avoiding prey that could potentially harm/kill them or other predators. So the Frame's just decided he'd rather go wreck some more on the field than potentially lose the suit for the one +50.

Alena Asakura Rogue Clones Yulai Federation 822	Posted - 2016.04.19 10:59:00 - [1] - Quote I had a humorous interlude today that I thought you'd like to hear. I've finally started to use my ck.0 assaults. It's taken me a while to break my dislike of "burning" suits. Instead of using my Rasetsu and on occasion my Hawk, I've been breaking out the ck.0 Assault and Scout fits I've been refining for ages, just waiting for the day I'd finally use them. But I still hadn't done anything with my Frame's or Balac's. So there I was today in a Rasetsu CQC fit modelled on a ck.0 fit I've seen around the place, usually at the losing end of an Ishukone ARR on someone else's CalAss ck.0. I had taken out a few reds but as usual for soloing, was being overrun by too many reds working as a team. So I got into my range fit and started looking for a place to pick off reds from a distance. I heard some gunfire from an entrance to the facility and saw some blues firing at reds just inside the entrance. I took aim and fired. Took out a red. Fired again, reds scurrying in all directions. Some firing at me, but basicly missing at that distance. Then a familiar red-and-black suit appeared and took me out before I could react. Yep, a Frame's, typical fit for that suit, with over 600sHP and 326aHP. I decided to find a spot where I could use the range of my suit to its advantage. I started picking off reds again, and who should appear but that same red-and-black suit. He had a sniper rifle this time, and I fired at him, but he switched to his ARR and he picked me off again. Having had enough of this, I did the most reasonable thing I could think of - I came back in one of my own Frame's... :) And I couldn't find him anywhere. I picked off a few more reds and suddenly started taking hits from my right flank. It was him! I dived for cover with still about 2/3 of my shields, which recharged in seconds, then came out of cover to take him on. He was firing at me with his Ishukone with which he'd taken me out the last two times, so I returned fire with the Kaala and he dived for cover. He reappeared and I fired again. I hit him and he disappeared again. I waited for him to reappear but he didn't, so I moved further out of cover.... to see him running away!! He must have realised he was up against another Frame's and wasn't ready to chance losing it... :) I guess I was lucky that he didn't have a rail rifle on that thing or I might have had problems....

(Sheds tear for caldari loyalists who must fight agaisnt the disgusting arnour) Shoulda just brought out a milita shotgun. I would have blasted him down then sat there and waited for someone to try and revive them and drop a flux right on his corpse. Or better yet,drop a remote explosive on or next to his body hide and wait for that second +50 Am ded.

Or better yet,drop a remote explosive on or next to his body hide and wait for that second +50 lol You are fiendish aren't you?! :) Seriously, you'd be surprised how much armour there is on Caldari suits. I see *very few* Caldari suits that don't have some sort of enhanced armour. I look at it this way: Caldari suits start off with basic shields and armour with regen for both It's reasonable to increase both the shields and armour on the suit when you fill the slots Adding too little armour or none at all will make the suit too fragile Adding too much armour will make the suit too heavy and slow Adding a small amount of reactive armour will make the armour repair rate bearable Shield tanking doesn't mean you don't have armour, just that your repping is going to be for your shields not your armour I'm a Caldari loyalist through and through. Yes, I do have Gallente alts in both Dust and EvE but that's more to explore the Dark Side, so to speak. So, being a Caldari loyalist of course I was trying to follow that lead with pure shield tanking, to discover that the shields in Dust are ridiculous. I have built the fastest recharge shields I've ever seen, but without damage type resistances they drop in a second to any EM weapon, and you're left with tinfoil for armour. From what I can see, most people have figured out the same thing - pure shield tanks have a very short life expectancy. I love pure shield tanks to be honest, they're fast, light, and have amazing recharge, but I can only use them for fighting at range. If I want to do anything else, I have to put some reactive armour on it!

Yes, I know the sentiment - something about Discretion is the better part of Valour, or maybe a "judicious retreat"? He only ran when he saw he couldn't make much of dent on my shields, so I guess he was certainly judicious.... :)

Fair enough. I didn't write it for them. I wrote it for people who like reading a story. :) But thanks for the effort! :)
