Edited by: Cattegirn on 05/10/2010 15:45:36 My gosh, I think I have beat my old "covert ops in a bubble" story. Maybe even all your stories. :P
Enjoy:
Director of a casual corp, mostly a bunch of guys that know each other from real life, we do a little of everything without much ado. What we hadn't got a lot of was, recently anyhow, PVP. Nobody has much experience FCing except for one other fellow and myself. And at that, it's been a while.
So I volunteer to take 3 guys out and try to bait a pirate in lowsec. We fit up in Villore and out of habit from my old militia days, I jump into an adjacent lowsec system while they wait on the other side of the gate and I hit the belts. Immediately I discover an Osprey mining a belt, first try. Suspicious? We thought so too. Maybe it's bait for a trap. Check local, going down a list of 12 or 13 names and they're all from different corps, nothing scary looking at all.
Funny too, he lets me fly right up to him, point blank, without warping away.
With the green light from the local list and a target I think I can pop pretty quickly I proclaim "I'm going for it. If it's bait, oh well." And I start shooting.
Moments later, my shields are dropping, there goes my armor and hull and I'm in a pod. "What the **** did that Osprey do?" I wonder out loud.
I'm warping back to Villore in my pod when a fleet buddy comes to check the site of the wreck and spar with this uber-osprey.
Except it isn't the Osprey that was there, it was Concord. No, this wasn't a low sec system after all. I just had assumed it was.
It's my first time out leading a fleet with these guys and I got myself concorded. :D
It ain't over yet. I never have really been much into high sec pvp other than against Red & Blue (wardec.) Thinking I knew the rules, I docked up and brought up my shiney (don't they shine?) Myrmidon BC. This is one of my better PVP ships incidentally. ;)
Undock, warp to safe and get on the comms to reorganize the fleet. Hello again, Concord. Two ships down in about 5 minutes, and I have another 15 minutes to wait in the bloody station before I can get back to the fleet. And I'm the bloody FC.
I've been playing the game for 2 years nearly. :P
