Do pirates always feel like this? 

I remember Tawa Suyo of The Tuskers telling me about how he does this exact same thing to other null-sec fleets all the time, peeling off their tackle and killing them after they give a little chase. I felt like a complete badass managing to do the same thing, pulling that Stiletto towards me and killing him, knowing that NCdot was on its way using him as a warp-in. The Arazu was a bit unexpected, and I thought I was done for until I got fifty kilometers away from him.

After warping out, I needed a few minutes to calm my nerves as I sat off d-scan between gates. I was shaking from the exhilaration of it, sneaking a kill like that on their scout/tackler and living to tell about it. I'm riding on top of the world right now after that.

Computer: terminate recording.
