RIFTER: JUSTICE EDITION, Featuring black paint smeared on the end of the Rifter FOR ADDED JUSTIC!

So I've been stuck fighting injustice IRL, which is far less fun than fighting injustice in fighty shooty spaceboats. Far more paperwork and talking, not enough HIGH OCTANE SPAC BATTALS.
So I've been very pleased to be back in internet space.

And even more pleased to find on my return, that you can now get OVERPRICED VANITY RIFTERS!

So I obviously bought one. It made sense that a fancy Rifter deserved a special fitting, even though it has the same abilities as a normal Rifter. BUT IT NOW COMES WITH ADDED BLACK BITS, WHICH MAKE IT MAGICAL LIKE A SPACE UNICORN OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.
I'm not going to reveal the fit because at time of posting it's still alive, but I will say its a variant I made on one of my old polic partner SASSY B's fits, and I like it muchly. Despite the fact that I had to make it run away from a merlin :(
Also it's not got any faction, just T2 and named so don't be disappointed if you blow me up and don't get any fancy loot.

It took some time, surprisingly, to get a fight, it took TWO WHOLE DAYS in fact. I should of made battle with an Incursus but PIRAT KORPARATION "THE BASTARDS" PILOT WOULD NOT COME NEAR ME, DESPITE LANDING ON GRID TWICE WITH MY RIFTER WARSHIP!

Eventually my Rifter got christened apprehending a pilot who was ILLEGALLY PILOTING A DESTROYA CLASS VESSAL WHILE INTOXICATED 

Refreshed from the warm glow of enforcing justice, I once again took to patrolling the skies in my Rifter Justice Edition today. Metropolis seemed safe until I jumped into Resbroko. where I spotted a SUSPICIOUS LOOKING BRACHER WARBOAT! in a faction warfare plex. I went in to investigate.

As I landed on the acceleration gate, an IMPERAL NAVY SLICA was on my overview, He had just activated the gate and was clearly an AMMARR KRIMINAL off to harass the brave Bracher freedom fighter. THIS I COULD NOT ALLOW!

I landed in the plex in time to see the Breacher escape. Though I was 21km off the slicer when I came out of warp AND THIS IS NOT IDEAL FOR AN AB FRIGAT VS A SLICA.
Purple LAZORS cut deep into my shields, I approached the slicer at an angle trying to reduce the incoming damage, and to my surprise he rocketed off to 45km. Clearly my approach had spooked him a little, and he somewhat overshot his kiting quite drastically.

This is when I had to chose to fight or flee, a slicer could potentially make much violence upon me. HOWEVER I noticed as he burned to range that his point had the range of a tech 2 disruptor. This made me want to stay, as having flown the slicer quite a bit myself, I'm aware how tight it is for CPU, and I gambled that the tech 2 point made it likely that he didn't have a DCU fitted, so if I caught him I could probably melt his boat rather quickly. The downside is though that no DCU meant he was likely nanotastic making him harder to catch.

He burned back in, I heated my AB and went head on at him, hoping to catch him on that pass.

I missed

He was super agile, and my tank took a beating in the process. I only had time to make one more attempt to catch him or the fight would of been unwinnable. I burned away from him at full speed, like I was trying to run, as I hit 23km from him I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES, FLIPPED MY RIFTER AROUND AND FLEW AT HIS SHIPS FACE! 

I landed the heated point! Then went for the bump so his inertia couldn't take him to safety. Not entirely sure if the bump landed but either way he was locked down, and I unloaded Phased plasma into his hull while pulling into a tight orbit to out track his scorch. My tank however was not in a good place and if he had a DCU or even switched to multi I could still go down. I hit hull first, this was going to be close. BUT IT TURNED OUT MY PREDICTION WAS RIGHT \o/ When his armour fell his hull evaporated in seconds.

AND THE KRIMINAL MADE EXPLODE!

Thrasher Of I Beast

Sooooooo some of you may remember me as that one wat used to write a blog, WELL after a eve break over the summer I'm gradually starting to play again. I've been wandering about in a Rifter mainly because RIFTA BOAT BEST BOAT.

Last night after a rather uneventful patrol I decided to head to Hek FOR ROUTINE RIFTA MAINTANENCE. Expecting to find all quiet and well I was HORRIFIED to see A BAD MAN IN A THRASHER LITTERING WITH INTENT TO CAUSE KRIMINALITY. Like any good citizen I picked up the cargo can IN ORDER TO ANALYZE THE EVIDENCE FOR A LATER COURT HEARING. I bagged the evidence of ONE UNIT OF REPUBLIC FLEET FUSION WAR BULLET which incidentally is a HIGHLY DANGEROUS thing to be left lying around in space. SOME INNOCENT COULD FIND IT AND MISTAKENLY VIOLENCE THEIR OWN BOAT.

To my shock enraged with INJUSTIC the kriminal Thrasher boat began making shoot upon my polic Rifter, most likely to destroy the evidence I had collected. I immediately heated my afterburner and got into a tight orbit in order to out track the offender and unleashed the righteous fury of my 125mm autocannons charged with EMP. The Thrasher pilot was neuting me so I had to be mindful of pulsing my armour repair unit and checking my warp scrambler stayed applied so he could not escape. INEVITABLY with low armour the kriminal exploded.

I repaired my boat and began the task of the OFFICAL PAPERWORK.

THEN SUDDENLY...

...HE REAPPEARED IN A NEW THRASHER AND BEGAN TO ATTEPMT VIOLENCE!!!

Fortunately the ensuing battle happened exactly the same way. Leaving me with MORE REPAIRS AND PAPERWORK. Which I grudgingly began to complete...

...THEN SUDDENLY...

...HE APPEARED AGAIN AND ATTACKED in yet ANOTHER THRASHER. 


This time he had removed his WARP SCRAMBLING DEVICE in favour of a web, I closed in a tight orbit, but this time he was harder to out track so I had to manually pilot. JUSTIC however PRVAILED and he blew up AGAIN this time though I finished the fight in less than half structure. Wary of further attack I decided to switch out of the Rifter into that renowned bringer of justic the PLATELESS LAZOR PUNISHER WAR BOAT.

YET AGAIN THE KRIMINAL APPEARED IN ANOTHER THRASHER also with a web instead of a point. BUT THIS TIME I WAS READY as predicted he tried to make violence onto me but using the SWIFT GRACE OF THE PUNISHER I heated my afterburner and moved to the edge of scrambler range, from where I RAINED DOWN HOLY PURPAL LAZOR UPON HIM UNTIL HIS THASHER WAS NO MORE.

After this he realised his defeat and did not trouble the forces of justic again.

Nothing to see here

One of the advantages of being a MAVERICK OFFICAH is that we don't have to live by THE BOOK and can use unsanctioned methods to ENFORC JUSTIC, methods like utilizing the boats of kriminals against them.

This officer, a while back, came into the possession of two Cynabal class space boat vessels of KRIME LORDS THE ANGAL KARATL. Flying them feels somewhat like cheating, its like a Vagabond with the agility of a Taranis which is an intensely MIGHTY combination. I recently bust some small kriminal gangs in them, even though 1v3 victories totally don't count as awesome in a Cynabal, I SHALL STILL LOG THE BATTALS INTO POLIC RECORDS.

JUVENILE DELINQUENT OFFICAH

I hadn't been logged on long, and had just undocked to group up drones and run routine safety checks on my 2^nd more maverick fit Cynabal. When on scan I spot A GROUP OF YOUFFS, flying WITHOUT LICENCES while UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES, the gang then proceeded to LOITER at a planet, unfortunately I arrived on the scene as the last youff was leaving. I then decided to patrol the top belt, soon enough a Punisher lands 20k from me and points me with a disruptor, he's followed shortly by a Thrasher. My 425s at 20k make very quick work of the Punisher. I then switch to the Thrasher as a Harpy lands on me at 0. I Finish the Thrasher. And hit my MWD as the Harpy gets scram and web on me, the momentum of the mwd burst before the scram hit takes me to 10k meaning that its soon all over for the Harpy.

THE AMARR KRIMINAL MENACE

A few days later I decide to undock my more standard fit Cynabal, Very quickly I notice that AMARR KRIMINALS are assaulting a local Minmatar Outpost. I scan Ishkur, Wolf, Kestrel and Thorax class space boats, I warp without thinking and land on the acceleration gate. OH NOES their not in the plex IT TWAS A CUNNING RUSE, their all on the acceleration gate. The Ishkur and Wolf scram me, I lock all the ships up turn my neut on the Ishkur and overheat my Afterburner. No web on me and me with a heated afterburner being faster than the two sluggish Assault frigs means that The Ishkur is soon reduced to wreckage. Closely followed my his accomplice in the Wolf. The other kriminals panic and try to run, The Kestrel gets out but I manage to grab point on the Thorax. Needless to say his attempt at RESISTING ARREST was foiled.

As I was gathering evidence from the battle, I became SHOCKED AND APPALLED when a KRIMINAL SPY UNCLOAKED. I Lock up the offending Cheetah and with the aid of my 425s PREPARED HIS BOATS FOR KRIME SCENE EVIDENCE PROCESSING.
