Well, about 20 mins after my first post I decided to head out in another rifter. I went back to Egghelende and found this rather young, juicy ratter. I'm quite pleased with myself here, as I found him, despite other pirates in local, killed him, and got out without dying. In fact, I barely left shields. Carrying on from there I must have gone through about 12 systems without finding anyone to fight until...
I was being chased by a dramiel! Now, I've never seen one of these, but I've heard of them and I was pretty sure my rifter was no match. I started fleeing randomly, just heading for the first gate on my overveiw. He followed me for about 6 or 7 jumps and then vanished, so I thought I'd lost him. I ended up in Vitrauze, a long way from the bleak lands. Here, I found another Tristan pilot at a gate, this one only 2 days old like me. As I didn't want to get gate gunned, I attempted a trick my brother had told me about; inviting them to a fleet and hoping you can get them to warp to you. He didn't like it and rejected the invitation. So I warped to the gate and yellow boxed him, hoping he'd have an itchy trigger finger.
Nope. He just jumped through. As I followed him, the dramiel landed on the gate. Crap. So, I held cloak as he came through after me and started orbiting the gate. Picking a random planet, I warped as soon as he was a little distance away. From there I bounced to another gate, jumped through and ended up one jump from hi-sec. I safe'd up, and he started talking in local:

Could have gone better, but pretty much what I expected from fighting an 07 player. Luckily, no implants and an up to date clone are something all players start with :)
About 20mins after that, someone jokingly challenged me to a dual in corp chat. I said yes and they backed out. Minersha Green, however, took up the challenge, and we headed to Rens. Minersha has been playing over 3 years, and I fully expected to die. I was hoping, that as a mostly carebear style player she wouldn't know too much about pvp. If I had better tactics, I might be able to beat her. We both took rifters.
We met at planet 4 and I dropped a can, she took it and we began to fight. At first, my guns seemed to be working nicely, taking chunks from her shields while she barely scratched me. Then she activated a rocket launcher and things began to go downhill. My shields hit half just as she hit armour, we hit half armour at the same time, and I hit structure first. I pulled range in an attempt to lower the damage and repair and brought myself up to about 25% armour, 85% hull. Going back in I hammered her amour taking it down to nothing and just began to take pieces from her un-protected structure when I exploded.
She finished in 85% hull. I think I did pretty good for a 2 day player.
