First Solo PvP Kill

Huzzah Rifters

Got my first real solo kill.

I sat on the gate between 9RQ and T-GZ.

Warped to 0 and waited and looked like I was afk. 0 speed, 0 mods active.

Malediction jumped in and burned towards me.

My goal was to get him within web range, with my after burner i felt i could keep him in range once he was scrammed and webbed.

Let him burn towards me and stayed still so he would shoot past and i would still look afk.  Once he was close i burned towards where he was heading and got him within web and point range..

I used the keep at range to minimize transversal since he uses rockets and i wanted full dmg on him.  My shields had taken a pounding by this point and probably felt he had it in the bag.  Problem with rifters is they can be tanked any way so you never know how close to death they are.

Activated the armor rep so it would tick by the time I took armor damage. I tore into the mael with fusion ammo..

At this time 1 daredevil jumped in as the mael started taking armor but i got lucky and the guy was on the other side of the gate.

Got the mael to 1/2 amour and another daredevil jumped in, again far side of the gate.

The mael was running away from his friends so gained extra seconds.  Overheated everything when I saw his armor go back up(active tank) at about 1/4 armor. Next few seconds saw him down... Target the pod without expecting to kill it as I aligned out to a close celestial. Quick check on daredevil distance was 25km and closing, shot the pod and warped out with the daredevil 15km away.....thank goodness no warp disruptor.

Gave a GF in local and was promptly told that "try to think. You podded him and he is not here"....Doh.

Did not loot the wreck right away but did later...the faction ammo was taken but all the mods where intact, Prices are higher so sold for about 2mil....Rifter paid for!

Even if the rifter died it was a win. After looking at daredevil dmg my rifter can last about 40seconds vs one.

Something to keep in mind if there was only one if I can avoid some dmg I may make it 60 seconds to jump out.

I did note the guy was a fail fit. Never seen a dual prop mael. Also the need for additional power really killed his tank and he did no real damage. It took him a long time to even get through my shield and I tore him apart fast. VS a better fit foe this fight would have taken much longer. I ended the fight low on cap(never turned of my repper(oops)and at above 3/4 armor. 

Was fun and wa on a high the rest of the night but only managed to find one other fight. Engaged a daredevil who later ran away...I barely did any damage to him....I'd like to think it was one the same one's from earlier but can not be sure.
