In The Citadel on 2015-07-04 at 17:40:00 in Tama, Piir8 engaged Jeb Hek IsCrap over Tama GateCamp and Piir8 emerged victorious. Jeb Hek IsCrap’s employment with Brave ended soon after. The lossmail can be found here, though the reader should be aware that blueprint copies are typically overvalued by the killboard.
Piir8 used a large smart bomb fit designed for catching small targets like pods and frigates before they can safely warp away; the system of Tama has become a favorite spot to gank unsuspecting victims. This fit is very effective because when the smart bombs are cycled properly it can provide coverage regardless of session change timers. Although the interceptor was travel fit, inertia stabilizers are no protection against this kind of gate camp. While interceptors can be made unlockable, smart bombs need no lock to deal damage. Both pilots were willing to talk to TMC about the loss.

Xenuria > I was hoping you could tell me what happened. Were you kicked from Brave after the loss? Did you leave?
Jeb Hek IsCrap > oh
Jeb Hek IsCrap > no, I left
Jeb Hek IsCrap > I was liquidating everything
Jeb Hek IsCrap > and that was one of the many loads I was moving from null
Xenuria > You were planning on leaving brave and this was you attempt at cashing out?
Jeb Hek IsCrap > it was one of many loads, that just had some BPC’s in it
Xenuria > Had you considered avoiding Tama?
Jeb Hek IsCrap > I was dual boxing, had stayed up all night, and had done several runs through. Eyes closing, just started hitting jump button.
Jeb Hek IsCrap > got what I deserved
Xenuria > Thank you for your input.
Xenuria > fly safe
Piir8 > Hello.
Xenuria > Can you tell me what happened with the interceptor kill?
Xenuria > Did you or your peers manage to scoop any of the BP loot?
Piir8 > I saw the ceptor on d-scan while doing some regular bombing in Tama, and hit it on contact. And yes, I was able to get all of the loot inside.
Xenuria > Epic Dude!
Xenuria > Do you typically make good money ganking in tama?
Piir8 > It really varies, considering it’s entirely dependent on how brave / ignorant the pilot is about how the system works. But despite its reputation, I’d be willing to say there is at least a steady income lol.
Xenuria > Thank you for your time.
While far from the most exciting or exotic kill to ever grace the ALOD desk, this loss should serve to underscore one central fact of Eve to all those who read it: somebody is always out to get you.
