As titel say
Just a little background: I'm a casual player that started playing pretty much exactly one year ago. of course I started as an alpha clone just to see if I like the game at all. needless to say, I got hooked. tbh the moment in the tutorial where you first see a big fleet in space was amazing. the feeling of 'space' was real and I started out as an explorer in a tiny corp of a real life friend. but I was the only explorer there (the corp was into ice mining and mission running) and went to wormholes for the dank loot alone. it obviously wasnt the right corp for me (despite everyone being super nice) so I joined Signal Cartel. now these guys were a blast. great people to fly with and the chats were always friendly, helpfull and funny. as exploration actually gets you decent isk as an alpha I soon hit the 1.5bil I needed for Omega. I waited a bit longer though as I wanted some reserve for ships. so I upgraded to Omega and double training time was awesome. the thing was, what could I aim for that I simply cant do as an alpha? the easiest stuff to learn were T3D's. so I got into a Confessor to shoot sleepers. again, what could I aim for next that doesnt take months of training? Frigate V it is I thought. I was actually looking to fly the Anathema for more exploration and saw that I could also fly a bomber. As I was never involved in active PVP before (in Signal its against the credo and so far I only died to a wardec or getting caught in wspace) I did some research on what to do with a bomber and came across the Doctor Wrecks youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvYEm6q5T7COuDD9HDAldyg
Holy shit :D I was blown away by the pure epicness of the videos there. the time in Signal was nice but I felt the itch to shoot someone. I left Signal and went back to the corp my irl friend was in. I also joined the BB ingame channel and kept training to fly the recommended fits. While I was waiting I came across BjornBee's twitch and his public fleets. I simply joined one and went on my first pvp fleet. we flew the hull tank Algos to Pandemic and it was pretty exciting. I got lost half way through cause noob me simply couldnt follow the pace with which things happened. it was awesome. I did this a few more times and always had a blast. then the training for my Purifier ended. now I wanted to see what Bombers Bar can do.
My first fleet with BB was a 'training' fleet back in May with Nova. the first engagement we had was at the Oijanen gate in BWF and I instantly died... well, not a great start but Nova was super relaxed. I just reshipped, sent him the lossmail for O'Bomber-Care (hilarious btw) and went back to fleet. We were poking Pandemic a bit and set up bomb spots, warp outs and all that jazz while doing a few training bomb runs which was perfect for noob me. now I wanted more.
Second fleet was whaling with Chaos if I recall correctly and again, a super relaxed and fun fleet. I even didnt loose my ship :) the chat on TS was very interesting as I could ask veterans all kind of questions and I felt in good hands just like it was with Signal. Now I wanted to see what these armadas were all about. you know, the crazy vids I saw with capital ships and all this cool stuff. my timing couldnt have been better as my first armada was Cow's birthday where we killed him with a fleet of Ibis's. now that was fun (sorry Cow). as a little bonus we also dropped on a Hel. that was a scary yet exciting experience. and I flew with BB ever since.
the thing that really keeps me coming back is the atmosphere in BB. everyone is just so chill and just wants to have a good time. and everyone is welcome. it doesnt matter which corp you are in, if you're male or female, how many SP you got, how old you are or which country you come from. it really is that simple. everyone is welcome. and everyone that is not purple gets shot :P it's been 20+ fleets for me now and counting. and I can only recommend anyone that can fly a bomber to check them out for a nice evening of torpedo delivery and relaxed chats ingame and on TS.
a few highlights of flying with BB for me so far are: dropping on the first super I saw ingame and killing it, dropping on a rorq but that thing went into panic and called for backup which came in the form of supers and titans (your heartrate will go up for sure) and making it out alive, hearing mar5hy getting the shakes on comms while hunting down a super and of course the amazing wolfpack fleet with Nova where we camped VSJ and got 100+ kills https://br.inyour.space/?s=2448&b=8125620&e=125&t=uvfqevvarf there were some glorious bomb runs.
Keep up your great attitude BB. it's always a pleasure to join your fleets. o7
Is there one?
