Decided there was no time like the present, so jumped into a Tristan and set off for nearest lowsec FW system to see what trouble I could get into on a fine Tuesday night.
What I probably should have done was refresh myself on the layout of the surrounding systems in space (or at least glance at Dotlan) so that I'm not sat there thinking, hmm which gate was the 'bad' one again?
Anyway, there were three in local and I spotted a Navitas at a large FW complex so I piled in, activated scram on the Navitas (who just sat there), released my drones and clicked for my default orbit.
Then realised that my scram wasn't running and the Navitas wasn't locked and seemed to be slowly moving away, my drones idling in space.
I tried to lock him up again, noticed the message about my safety settings being on, clicked the green light, clicked the yellow light, tried to activate scram on him again with no luck, safeties were still on green and he was now about 18K away.
Then clicked the green safety light, selected yellow, then ticked the yellow confirm box, then realised my default orbit was set at 40K and it was me moving, not him. Set a closer orbit, locked him up (finally) and sent in the drones...I think he was dead before I'd even managed to land my scam.
Turns out it wasn't even fit !
So although it was a pretty rubbishy kill, it did mean that I managed to get my setup sorted...eventually.
