How does one fly its ship in New Eden

I've been playing computers games since I was 8. Then for the first time I've encountered a ZX Spectrum computer. Tape recorders instead of USB Sticks and ROM instead of RAM. Many years have been passed since I've played my first multiplayer games (Warcraft, Doom, flight simulators). After a few more years, first online multiplayer game. A MUD. All those experiences defined and refined me as an EVE Pilot.

My goals and play style was slowly build and sculptured by games like Pac-Man - for example - where you were constantly chased by a gang a ghosts, blobbing you, trying to pop you, grief you! You had to outmaneuver them, playing the pray while luring them in a corner, where... BAM! You consume the yellow pill and pod them all.

Or Dynablaster-Bomberman where you needed to be 2-3 steps ahead of your adversary, setting up traps, calculating its route, setting the bomb so it can explode exactly when it passed the blast area.

Or pk (player killing - equivalent of pvp) in various MUDs. You learn to control your emotions, using the adrenaline rush in your favor, gathering and using the right pieces of equipment. Setting up the perfect trap. Using their strengths and weakness in you favor. Beating them at their game when they feel invincible.

So, yes. I like to fight outnumbered, against the odds, picking on the biggest predator on the field. Maybe I've seen to many Bruce Lee movies. Or maybe that's the way I am hardwired.

That's how I like to pilot my ship in EVE. Not only once I was the poor helpless Osprey lost in a belt, where a couple of ruthless pirates went for my throat. I dive head deep into enemies. Is it one? They are 20? Doesn't matter. As long as I feel it like a challenge... I don't care about WCS plexers or blobbers. I might get a bit irritatied about the obnoxious ECM ship that ruins your day. But there is hope.

Looking back, I realized that this is the way I have been playing EVE since day one. That day I jumped in low sec. And I stood there ever since - using high sec as a no-man land. I was merely 2 months old when I got this kill: http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=7226138. And I never stopped looking for those fights ever since.

I like to play with people that enjoy the same thrill. I think I've found them. I've been flying with them in the last month and I loved every second. Even now after 5 years, 100mil SP and 2000++ killmails, flying with the right people gives you the right thrills.

So, that's me. But, how about you?
