Trinkets friend Sudden Buggery 337	Posted - 2012.05.03 03:48:00 - [1] - Quote Aside from encountering a Sudden Buggery RR AF gang, what is the most stupid thing you have seen in a wormhole? Generally this will be POS setups and stuff, but let me get started with some of the biggest fails I've ever seen in wormholes. 1. A freighter in a C1. Wut? Like...wut. I can see why people do Orcas and Rorqs in C1's (if you gotta suck rocks, you gotta suck rocks) but a freighter? I am still baffled as to what the hell it is used for - even the whole "pack everything in it and logoffski" treament. Ploise explain. 2. Moon harvesters Luls. The guys even had a full silo and refinery setup on their POS. 3. Hardeners outside the shield. Needless to say, the inevitable POS bash we inflicted n them went a bit faster than they anticipated. 4. 32 large blasters, 32 medium blasters, 32 small blasters. 14 rounds of ammo. ... 5. A dude doing his PI milk run in an Orca. Next time, Moby ****. Next time. 6. Chained Reactions. Nuff said. The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man. Sun Tzu localectomy.blogspot.com.au

In no specific order: 1) Watching the Chained Reactions guy warp his orca to the sun to log off... 2) Someone popping our salvager only to return to his POS realizing he didn't refuel it. Needless to say, him and his POS were soon separated 3) A corpmate telling a a guy in high sec that bad people tried to gank him in our wormhole. Then asked the guy to fleet up with him to kill them. After jumping in the hole, we warped him to a safe spot....right on our fleet. 4) Starbridge's pos shield password

Doubly so if they need 14+ people to even attempt killing said character.

Chevy Hakoke Caldari Provisions Caldari State 44	Posted - 2012.05.03 04:45:00 - [5] - Quote Popping a afk badger 2 that was attempting some PI in our hole, and discovering it had a bunch of scanner probes in it with no probe launcher
Frau Leinsmarch Merchants Trade Consortium The Last Chancers. 29	Posted - 2012.05.03 05:00:00 - [6] - Quote In no particular order: 1. Some guy sat outside his pos in a HIC trying to catch our bombers, he brought out a harb with sebos and accidently targetted his own tower with hot weapons, he got lit up like a xmas tree. Then he decided it would be a good idea to put the harb pilot into a guardian and start repping mods, his agro timer was still on and got popped by his tower again. Then he rege-quit with his HIC bubble up and was stuck in it, indefinately giving himself agro until we killed him. 2. Some guy who was not on session timer jumped in from high-sec in a navy apoc and wouldn't jump back out. He died quickly and then his friend warped to the high-sec, in a 3 billion isk golem, where he could see an entire fleet with a bubble up. 3. We had just opened our static and put a scout infront of a tower with 5 active pilots in it. Then suddenly the shields turned off, we killed 3 carriers and stole a few orcas. Turns out the guy moved the fuel into his hanger from the fuel bay rather than from his hanger into the fuel bay. 4. We had a low-sec in our C6, we decided to bring 3 caps in from low-sec. We lit a cyno on the wormhole and an entire fleet warped to it. Their broadsword jumped in and then we jumped the caps in closing the hole. The HIC held his cloak and then lit a cyno, I was laughing so much I could barely target the poor bastard. 5. We were closing our lobby with an orca and while the orca was in the connecting WH he was attacked by a manticore, the orca locked him in 60 seconds and pointed him, unleashing its drones upon him. He popped and then the orca managed to lock his pod and pod him aswell.
stup idity 8	Posted - 2012.05.03 05:36:00 - [7] - Quote 1. A nice fully fit indu pos without an active forcefield. The residents were idling on the tower one moon further while we did the Pi+¦ata maneuver. They managed to jump us as we were almost finished looting. 2. A guy who crashed our static Hi to Rens from the outside - in a single Hurricane. This took a while... I still have no clue what he was trying to achieve. 3. A guy who was mining in a retriever and having his Orca right next to him in the site - unmanned. It was filled with a rather large amount of assorted modules, bpc and other stuff. I reign supreme.
Deen Wispa Screaming War Eagles Incorporated 258	Posted - 2012.05.03 06:12:00 - [8] - Quote I was in a WH in covops ship at the sun minding my own business. And then all of a sudden, a buzzard lands right next to me. I'm like 'okay.' He then proceeds to start dropping probes and starts scanning. And this whole time, he is still uncloaked. I decide to head out and get a ship to kill him. I come back into the WH and then warp to the sun. He's still there and I kill him. He warps off in his pod. But that's not the funny part. I then read the following in local from him; "Damn" I replied, "What?" "I forgot to bookmark my entrance." I could only chuckle at this noobness. I offered to lead him out if he paid me. Once I led him out, I recruited him to my WH corp. But then I get an email a couple days later from his former CEO. Apparently, my recruit stole quite a few billions in ships and assets from him and the CEO. Of course, I had to kick him from corp. Though, in hindsight, I realize I should've led him into a WH with his new Tengu and just awoxed him there and collect the bounty from the CEO who notified me after I had kicked him. C'est la Eve.

Michael1995 Lead Farmers Kill It With Fire 16	Posted - 2012.05.03 07:09:00 - [10] - Quote 1. Carrier doing PI in a C1, sadly I was in a lowly cheetah without friends at the time. 2. Lazors, Autocannons, and Hybrids on a Caldari POS with no ECM. 3. Hostile Typhoon dropping large shield bots and putting them on my Loki instead of combat drones. 4. Hardeners outside the POS shield with the ECM and Guns, again I had no friends. I did find the same system about nine months later and they had finally put their hardeners inside. 5. A corpy opened our static to find 2 orca's on a POS with the FF down still unanchoring CHAs and SMAs. One does not simply buy their way into Goonswarm.
Ya Huei Imperial Collective 65	Posted - 2012.05.03 07:26:00 - [11] - Quote All the times we killed T3's and faction battleships cause: "we don't need no stinkin' scouts when doing pve"
Jack Miton Bite Me inc Exhale. 263	Posted - 2012.05.03 07:32:00 - [12] - Quote One of the funniest things ive seen was 4 carriers trying to run a C6 site with drones. No dreads, no subcaps, just carriers. Sadly there was like 3 of us online so after they finally killed all the sub BS stuff and 3 BSs, (this was well over an hour later...), we broke out a zephyr and 2 covops and looted all their wrecks, said thanks in local and left. overall they probably lost more in fighters than we made from the tags. Another good one was when a pod warped to a remote BM of a HS hole i happened to be sitting on in my proteus. Instead of warping off he decided to slow boat to the hole to jump so i made his trip a bit faster. Got to love people who BM off scan results :)
Phrank Phish Black Viper Nomads 4	Posted - 2012.05.03 08:00:00 - [13] - Quote Jumped a carrier in a C3 and set about it, his corpmate came out to save him in a nag with no siege mod, 2 turrets and some rr's. Found 2 dreads and a carrier in a ss while they repped between sites, not sure why they werent at their pos but they all aggressed before logging so we had plenty of time to kill them at leisure. Caught a mach in a C3 ratting, held him and ransomed for 1b. He stalled so we sent an alt for a hic, when told the bubble was coming he ejected and returned to his pos. We were allmost the idiots that time for coming so close to ransoming a 3b mach for 1b. And finally me, for believeing CCP rp dept could rp. When the sansha invasions kicked off and CCP showed us a picture of a wh system they were apparently basing out of, so we went and found it, found it empty, reutnrned home jaded and cynical. edit: one I allmost forgot: 5 tengus running noms, insanely fast, so im chasing them all around system, nom to nom cloaked, while the fleet readies up. Its taking a while to sort out ships and get in position. Out of nowhere, someone from a well known and suposedly competent wh corp jumps in system in a cheetah, drops combat probes and moves them ontop of my tengus. Flock is scared and returns to pos, cheetah starts talking in local about how he allmost had them. As subtle as a one man band fight on the jeremy kyle show.
Tisisan Hard Knocks Inc. 1	Posted - 2012.05.03 08:13:00 - [14] - Quote 1) AFK Archon, in a chained C5 combat site. We looked at that thing for 45 minutes. Looked at the cap fleet passively aligned to it from the pos. Looked at how they were just sitting there. Looked at how we only had like 5 people on at the time. We decided it MUST be a trap, so we went and sucked a couple instrumentals, then went for a null roam or something (I don't completely remember). Came back 4 hours later. Still just sitting there happily tanking the remaining sleeper. So we killed it. 2) Local tanked Russian proteus and paladin (from null) who decided they could take a c5 anom. Crying for help in local. Looted their wrecks with cov ops afterwards. Well north of a bil in faction pretties. 3) A cloaked corpmate watching a newbie corp lose about a dozen ships, caps included, to a Mag site (sadly not in a connected hole at the time).
Bernie Nator Talocan Hive Talocan United 277	Posted - 2012.05.03 08:22:00 - [15] - Quote Had a Rattlesnake hop past a gate camp on a high sec hole into a c2 and immediately started running sites. We rolled the hole shut on him while his scorpion sat at the high sec and watched. Then we warped the fleet in, started murdering him, and he had just enough time to get off a "F you guys" in local before being sent back to high sec. After checking his loadout, poor bastard didn't even have a probe launcher on his ship; just shiny bits. Don't jump past a fats camp and run sites. ...or do. makes funny stories.
Samillian Moonshine Industries The Last Chancers. 156	Posted - 2012.05.03 08:55:00 - [16] - Quote My top four since moving to wormspace. 1. Warped to our bubbler as he had engaged a Navy Apoc on an exit to HiSec, guy sat 2.6km off the hole the entire fight. It never occurred to him to simply jump to Hi. 2. Two minutes later on the verge of warping back to our own hole a Golem from the same corp lands in the bubble. Bye, bye Golem and pod (and full Crystal set). 3. Last month we took down a tower with 1 hours stront in it. 4. Last night one of our guys probes down a Proteus logged off in Deadspace with aggression. Had full covert ops cloak and subsystems just didn't turn the cloak on before he logged.
Keeley Ellis Blackstar Privateer Consortium Sovereign Technologies 114	Posted - 2012.05.03 11:55:00 - [17] - Quote -Some guy anchoring POS guns from outside his forcefield in a Bestower. I can only assume from the way he was anchoring and then un-anchoring them that he wasnGÇÖt satisfied with their placement unless they were in perfect symmetry. This left not only a convenient amount of time to line up a bombing run, but plenty of unanchored guns to steal after he took the pod express back to K-space. -A guy in an NPC corp raiding a WH from high secGÇª for the grav siteGÇª in a Scorpion. -2 guys coming to rat our C2.

jonnykefka Adhocracy Incorporated Adhocracy 67	Posted - 2012.05.03 12:36:00 - [18] - Quote The killboard of Phantasmata Missile. I call it the W-space blooper reel: http://eve-kill.net/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=374288 FC warps fleet to POS to start eviction. Accidentally warps self. Maintains that he did it to show the POS he was not afraid. During a different op, our targets, not having anyone left in hole who can fly a Naglfar, decide to bump it outside of the shields of the one POS we haven't gotten to yet to kill it with the guns (we were grinding down a different POS at the time). We finished off that POS with their deadspace and faction-fit Naglfar. Guy scouting for his buddy doing loot runs in a hauler. Decides to warp scram hauler for lols. Then I decloak. Bored while tearing down their POS (pre short timers), three guys decide to pit an active-tank Legion against an abaddon with seven guns and a missile launcher and some other blingy combat ship. Outside their defenseless POS. Crunch. Impel doing PI. I attack it with my Anathema, and almost killed it until his buddy in a drake showed up. We all scatter. He comes back ten minutes later. This time I have a Purifier.
Ivory Kantenu D.F.A. Deep Space Exploration Insane Asylum 19	Posted - 2012.05.03 13:27:00 - [19] - Quote From another thread: Quote: I think the worst thing I ran into was in my first Class 1 WH my Alliance owned. We were selling it to someone else, and on that day, a French WH corp moved in. They anchored and onlined guns without ammo, and their EWar wasnt shooting at us, so they had no idea how to do things. Despite that, they still had Stronium. Oh, and they has also anchored a System Scanning Array. I was hoping the tower didn't have Stront, I had all intentions of taking it.

Terrorfrodo Deep Space Darwinian Law Enforcement Agency 65	Posted - 2012.05.03 14:34:00 - [22] - Quote Nice stories, though some of them a clearly made up, like laughing about someone who lights a cyno in wormhole space... which would indeed be hilarious if it were technically possible. The worst fail I witnessed was by a blue corp, unfortunately. They forgot to refuel their main tower and lost insane amounts of stuff to some lucky passers-by. Well-intentioned but ultimately not so clever was the guy who went ratting in a c1 while scouting with his uncloaked noctis on the hisec side. When we scanned the hisec hole and our scout warped cloaked to it, we only saw the noctis. But we figured correctly that a ratting ship was inside and would warp to the hole in panic as soon as he heard the wormhole activate on his noctis client. So we brought a HIC, warped to the wh, all jumped through. Bubble went up and just as planned shortly afterwards the ratter warped right into it. We were pleased to see that it was a legion Winner of elections banned, runner-up demoted by rest of the body, the council controlled by the losers. CSM 7 is illegitimate, CCP should remember when dealing with them. Remember what players voted for.

When you think about it, most of the funniest WH fails are due to people not understanding game mechanics. Timers, warping to bookmarks from the scanner etc. With that said, it makes the quoted post here a nice fail as well.

Sum Olgy Future Corps Sleeper Social Club 5	Posted - 2012.05.03 19:39:00 - [27] - Quote I think the funniest kill I've been on was when we found a guy mining - i can't remember if it was gas or ore. I can't remember if we got the mining ship or not as it can't find it on the billboard. Anyway, blokey warps off in ship or pod, it's irrelevant to the story. And then a Tengu appears on DSCAN. Woot, we shout on Teamspeak. And then the Tengu lands on grid!! It's our Christmas and Birthdays rolled into one. Those of you who 'Blob' won't understand this, but small WH gangs will know what I'm on about here. So we set about the Tengu but something strange is happening. 1. We're struggling to break his tank. 2. None of us is taking damage. Ransom demands are falling on deaf ears so it's off to get a curse - we may have stopped shooting at this point. And he pops! http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=11685803 I still chuckle about this. If you're the hapless pilot please get in touch and tell me(us) your side of the story - I'd love to know your thought processes
Sidrun Life sucks then you die Ltd. 19	Posted - 2012.05.03 19:48:00 - [28] - Quote Man alot of funny stories in here. It just goes to show, how awesome eve is, that there are sooo many mechanics you either know or will know soon, through your own ignorance. I haven't done or witnessed anything too egregious, though I certainly thought I was going to be able to mine moon goo when I first went in. My biggest fail is probably the zillions of times Ive forgotten to route a PI extractor head, and then find out 24 or more hours later that I've been extracting up resources and then losing it. God I hate PI and all the clicking.
Tau Cabalander Retirement Retreat Working Stiffs 701	Posted - 2012.05.03 21:09:00 - [29] - Quote My Orca was attacked by a covert Legion and a Hound. The Legion was haphazardly fit for neuting, obviously it wasn't a chance encounter. The Orca was 5 km outside the force field moving POS modules around (OCD). The Legion dropped nice faction and deadspace modules. I'm guessing they figured all the other online guns weren't loaded.

Nathan Jameson Talocan Dominion Talocan United 388	Posted - 2012.05.04 01:49:00 - [32] - Quote Does no one remember POS Pinata Day? I'd say, with the advance warning we had, anyone who lost stuff on that day would qualify for this thread. EDIT: I've got one. One day one of our French corps found a Chimera floating in an offline tower and threw a character in it to steal it. They had to log it soon after because of hostiles coming in from k-space. They did manage to convo the original owner and sell the capital back to them for 850 mil, after which they left it at his tower. Turns out the POS owner never reboarded the capital and changed the password on his POS, tossing the carrier back into space. Probe Patrol found it soon after: http://kb.talocanunited.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=4385 The best part? We collected the insurance from the kill as well. I'll take a carrier loss on my board for a story as funny as that.
Chalmecatecuchtlz Obstergo TEMNAVA 10	Posted - 2012.05.04 02:20:00 - [33] - Quote Firstly, would like to through shoutout to Trink! Hope to see you and the boys this weekend. In our time, we have encountered some derps and derped ourselves... To share a couple: 1. A while back, a friend and I were scouting out a highsec for some new members and stumbled upon an offlined Fade 2 Black tower in a C4. We decided to pop the internals, and out pops some Battleships, so Battlecruisers, odds and ends and a Chimera. Jumping in the Chimera, we proceded to evict Fade 2 Black with their own ships. 2. R&K dropped an Armor Gang on us in our Pulsar... 3. The other day, we had a lowsec K162 open into our static C5. Some lowsec pubbie rolled in to the hole in a shifit Ferox, which we killed. Then we went out into their lowsec and they convo'd me to apologize for them coming into "our space". They then paid the 100 million wormhole encroachment fine I informed them about, and they promised to stay out of "our space forever". 4. A good friend of mine decided to live nomadically for a while. So he jumped his Archon from WH to WH until eventually he and his scout were separated. He then figured he might aswell safe spot his Archon and kick out a scanner to scout himself. This worked for a while until someone found and lifted his Archon while he was scouting ahead. 5. Same friend decided to leroy his Nightmare into a critical hole, collapsing it. Then scouted himself out while being chased the entire time by hostiles. He had no cloak. He survived. 6. Different friend, who played with the assistance of cannabis frequently, after rolling about a dozen holes with us one night, decided it was time to crash out... So he jumped into our static and logged off. 7. Lastly, was a bust on me.. Sorta. Last night, some of our guys were running sites in our static C5. The locals didn't seem to mind and even logged on a Rorqual and was moving around. Our scout noticed that the login spot for the Rorqual was in a Small POS with no defenses. Just the stick and shield. He then saw the Rorqual warp to another POS to compress some Ore. I jump my Phobos in and warped to the scout after he sets me up with a spot 50 km off the Small POS and I bubble up. Everyone else thinks that he won't warp back with us all in there, so they escalate another site. Just as they do, our scout informs me that he is warping to me. And... I caught him. I get him for a bil, and then everyone but the Chimera warp to me and start pounding on him. The Chimera begins struggling with the sleeper escalation, and we have the RR Tengus go back, killing our DPS on the Rorq. I am tabbed over on another character trolling the Rorq in local, as he is at 50% structure. I then tab over to my Phobos to see that he had been attackin it with Gardes the whole time... derp. - Phobos, it happened. The good news was that I got a bil and he still lost the Rorqual. He was proud of his 4 bil in losses, since it was his first kill. Kudos to positivity. And with that, I have shared the derps, both local and afar.

Long story short eventually their freighter pilot warped to their old tower (which they had just offlined) and tried to scoop it directly into his cargo. eee
Bernie Nator Talocan Hive Talocan United 277	Posted - 2012.05.04 03:20:00 - [35] - Quote There was this one corp who ran afoul of us twice. Let me tell you their story. This first story comes via word of mouth from some corp mates. They had a hi sec open and a c4 open. So they're relaxing on the c4, and then all of a sudden, an orca pops through. Orcas, while deadly in their natural environment of the ocean, don't fare so well in space. So they begin to beat the orca down and at about 75% structure, it pops a hurricane out. ...and boards it. We assume his thought process was "Kill the orca myself for whatever reason". Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten all the Talocan around him and his hurricane and pod were sent back to high sec post haste. So they took his orca with a full tower and modules, for a total loss at about 5 bil. Cut forward a few weeks. I'm casually herping around my c3 hole, just chilling in my cloaky scanny tengu. I notice a decent number of probes pop up and I proceed to cloak up on the high sec I've got. About ten minutes roll by, and a hyperion lands on the hole. I start to engage when 3 of his friends land on the hole and force me out. "How rude," I thought, "I'll grab some friends and pop back in after some ten minutes". I jump back in ten minutes later with a corp mate with me, only to find they'd left system. The natural assumption was that they were running sites, so I did a quick probe down of the system. The first thing I happened to find was a k162 from a c4... You see where this is going. So, I hop in and find their pos. And hot damn if it wasn't the group that we'd stolen the orca from. After about 10 milliseconds of consideration, I decided to make as many safe spots as I could and log for the night after adding every one of their pilots to watchlist and making sure to note when I opened their static and all that goodness. So the next day, I bring in about 8 friends as they start to roll their hole and we proceed to show them why they don't do silly things like close their hole the whole way, or use alts to monitor. They also made the grievous error of setting up a small tower with barely any defenses to speak off. We proceeded to incap their mods and on our way out told them we'd be back. Still no idea if they live in w-space. Hope to see them again to help facilitate their move to high sec if they haven't done so already.

Together with LOST, we put it into reinforced by sig-tanking it in speedy stealth bombers. I actually had to refit for more DPS cause the tower wasn't breaking the shield recharge on my armor-tanked Manticore (local effects ).
Keilateau Shakor Shakor Freight and Mining Service 7	Posted - 2012.05.04 06:15:00 - [38] - Quote Long time ago, while running my first solo C2 Radar site in a Drake (sooooo slooooow), I got jumped by a Manticore. Seeing there is no way out of this I make an attempt on a conversation in local while waiting for the inevitable: Me: This Black Monolith here is quite a punchline, don't you think? He(she) replies with "Sht! It's here!" ..and warps off. To this day I don't know why. The next thing happened to a friend of mine. He kept getting his Noctii constantly blown up by this guy in a Hound. After he complained about this to us, someone suggested that he should "scare him off with a cyno". His reaction was "there is no cyno-jumping in wh you idiot" and we all had a laugh. As it happens, this friend of mine gets very annoyed and desperate for loosing yet another Noctis to that very same guy and goes silent on Mumble. After an hour or so he says this: "Ok so I am there salvaging the lot when this (censored) appears again and opens up on my ship, so I lock him which takes only like a billion years, i'm way down in armor but don't fret since I buffed the buffer, i point him and light the cyno, typing 'GOT YOU MOTHERFCKER' in local, in caps. Next thing I know is he drops point, burns out side my point range and buggers off. I waited for the cyno to drop, finished the salvage and exited the hole". Not sure if true, but...

Trinkets friend Sudden Buggery 337	Posted - 2012.05.04 07:48:00 - [40] - Quote I have a full pimp Daredevil because I found it floating inside a small bubble, outside a POS, right next to a half dozen POS guns. I stroked my chin, sidled up to it in my cheetah, decloaked and ejected, boarded the Devil and hoofed it (at 3.5km/s thanks Gistii-B type MWD). Loss: 18M in yesterday's money. Gain: 220M Daredevil I still conveniently had. Then we proceeded to loot a Succubus, Dram, and 2 Pilgrims. The owner convoed me a few hours later after his mate relayed the bad news and said to keep his ship safe. Whoever you are, fear not. Its sitting next to the gold-plated Manphoon with the 100 kills. Another fail happened about 2 days after BUGRY reformed. We were banging about a C3 off the hole we were sieging, and playing hide the sausage with some Germans. I try to find the German's hole, and we have 2 K162's to C4's as options. I enter the first, and notice three things: a Moa doing gas; a POS with no dissy's; every toon in the corp is <2 months old (called Jita for Russian). So I figure, god to bait them. Send in the domi to shoot the POS till its tank busts (ts like, 6 large lasers, should take a minute I promise) then warp to sun. Well, best laid plans and all that - POS guns do not shoot. So, change of plans: shoot till they motor out of the POS and shoot you. Ten minutes and one incapped gun later, the nublets wake up. We drop RR AF's on them, slaughtering a Harby and nearly getting 2 more Drakes. Then, as we are literally about to bail out the exit and log off, we get a convo. These poor lads have passed the hat round and are pre-emptively ransoming themselves with all their spare cash, and we are suddenly 100M ISK richer. So we go back fishing for more ISK, and incap half the rest of their guns, wringing tears out of them, but no more ISK. As for BUGRY fails... Nearly our whole corp got trapped out of our WH by a brazen Orca pilot who crashed through our static enroute to hisec. Cue long late night trip back home. We had a guy get killed while afking on a wormhole....apparently while being earbashed by his girlfriend. He got the Pussywhip Gaystar for that effort. We also, back in the day when you could bump wormholes (bring it back!), had a guy lose a 150M ISK pod to a friendly bomber having a crack at an Orca which had warped to the hisec...or, well, where it used to be. Like, 70km away by then. May his corpse float forever freely in space. (and, this being before the bombing targeting widget...you can see how this happened) The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.

Jay Joringer Blackstar Privateer Consortium Sovereign Technologies 7	Posted - 2012.05.04 08:36:00 - [43] - Quote WeGÇÖd found a C4 Pulsar connecting to our C3. One of my guys checked it out and found there was another corporation sat at a fully equipped POS with no forcefield. Sensing opportunity, I jump into a Bustard and he gets into a Maelstrom and jumps into the middle of them while their tower is onlining. ThereGÇÖs 2 Drakes and a Badger who can only sit and watch while he pops the Badger, the SMA and the CHA as the Drakes donGÇÖt have anywhere near the dps to break his tank. The SMA drops more indys and some hulks, so the ex-badger pilot tries jumping into them to save them, only to get popped shortly afterwards. Meanwhile, IGÇÖm happily scooping the contents of their CHA, which included fuel and PI. ItGÇÖs not until my second trip that the Drakes actually start shooting me instead of the Maelstrom. They almost look in danger of breaking my tank when their forcefield kicks in. The other derp was definitely ours. We were monitoring some neutrals collapsing a link from their C4. On their side, they had a pretty impressive fleet of HACGÇÖs, Recons and T3GÇÖs and were using an Orca to collapse the hole. We thought weGÇÖd leave them to it until the Orca ended up the wrong side of the collapse. We saw him jump to a safespot and pop probes but was obviously without a cloaking device. I had two pilots jump into cov ops to scan him down. The orca pilot scanned down the U210 before they pinned him. I have not let the pilots involved forget about this!

Mr Bigwinky 4U Services Inc. Talocan United 227	Posted - 2012.05.04 09:43:00 - [45] - Quote I have some great ones! #1: DERP Machariel I am cloaked off of a POS shield as per usual, stalking people. Guy hops into a machariel and proceeds to MWD out of the shields. I am only in my scan ship at this point but I have a ship scanner so I decide to uncloak and ship-scan him right next to his POS. Turns out he has faction ** on here so I prolong my stalking, he returns to the shield. I set up drag bubbles on wormholes and get a corp member to keep eyes on him whilst I get something ganky to assist my falcon buddy. Guy decides to warp around (by himself) and lands on our wormhole (C5/C5) at 10km - turns out he had faction 800mm repeatings. When we podded him (kill shown here) we find that he was using PART of a slave set (in his shield tank mach). #2: Scanning Retriever Simple one: guy jumps in from a hi-sec connection, starts dropping probes.. lol. #3: Nidhoggur jumps through a wormhole we've critted and anchored a mobile large bubble II on, collapsing himself inside. This guy then tried to get all loss-mails deleted etc. #4: Archon triages before doing intel...** This guy and his buddies fight us on our joining wormhole. He decides: hey, its just a couple of battleships and 1 logi, I'll just triage and kick their ass.. Didn't work out so well for him... #5: AFK Legion (was cloaked) Legion was AFK and cloaked on the edge of an anchored bubble in the direction of his POS. As I had been sitting at his POS and warped back there, my cloaked scanship uncloaked his legion. I ran for the wormhole, assuming he was going to nail me. Came back with a friend in Ishtars, dropped a set of Garde IIs each in optimal and ended him super-fast. There have been tens of times stuff like this has happened. If I remember any good ones, i'll come back here. Welcome to EVE online, here's your rubix cube, go F*** yourself GÖÑ

Most amusing thing I've seen is a gang of T1 cruisers come in from hisec and then attempt to run c2 sleeper sites, they didn't last very long, but salvaged quite nicely. I missed out on the spate of sending people home via the pod express that our corp had, I was too busy trying to get back into the wormhole after getting popped by some t3's. My personal fail was leaving the pos for some ratting while there was a cov ops in system, next thing I knew I was getting an "oh hai there" from 2 Drakes and an Onyx, that interdiction sphere is nasty
Terrorfrodo Deep Space Darwinian Law Enforcement Agency 65	Posted - 2012.05.04 10:17:00 - [47] - Quote One nice story was when I checked out an incoming hole that had been there for some time and saw several battleships, rapier, falcon and manticore on scan. They seemed to be at the POS so nothing exciting, but I warped to the POS anyway to look if any of the ships were manned and might be provoked into something. Arriving at the POS I discovered to my delight that they were outside the FF and shooting at the tower. It was a small corp sieging an even smaller corp. The tower had only ECM... I guess they were bored because of the slow pace and getting jammed and so had brought all ships to the POS instead of scouting the wormholes. Bad mistake Even worse: Although they had no RR going, they were all cuddled together. I called for friends and we warped a HIC and some other ships on top of the attackers. The ensuing carnage was beautiful; they all died. http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=12603439 Looks in the report like the tower was fighting on our side, but in fact both sides were jammed, only we didn't lose any ships.

One warps off to drop his ship off and collect the Orca. It even had a hulk inside. Anyways, I contact the owner saying something like "thanks for the fish". He replies by saying howmuch he has to pay to get it back. I give him a Jita price. He starts to haggle....lol I scan him down cause he appearantly is in system. We all pile on him while i have his BC warp disrupted. He is still talking.... We pop him for the lulz not getting a paid penny. Turns out he had 2 WCS fitted... I still can't get my head around that one. "We" did some pretty dumb sh!t aswell but I'm too embarraced to tell. Ok, here's a clue: While collapsing a WH with a carrier and BS's we lose count.....We are not sure whether the WH has enough left to get the carrier back again. Normally we would say, let's not risk it. Then some1 said, I'll wager 1m isk that it can be done with carrier. He lost 1m isk to the carrierpilot and we made him pay for a new clone.

Threatened us with extermination, but lost the fight 0:15 3) First day flying with BUGRY, our fleet gets spotted waiting on the highsec to a C1. Instead of, perhaps, running away, they send a solo Rattlesnake with T1 hobgobs to defend the static. It dies. 4) The sheer number of people who think a bomber can solo kill a frig sized target. Last week I got engaged in my CHEETAH OF DOOM by two Talocan hounds. They had to run away. 5) (ME) Not realizing changing the POS password would catapult my alt, and watching her orca fly 200km out of the POS. This in a blackhole, with no online prop module to speed up the align time and a random Tengu gang in the hole. I made it, probably because they weren't watching our POS. 6) Dilch and his arty-missile Rokh of doom. Watching him warp to POS and rep his armour and hull got us salivating ahead of the mail. We killed it in our signature RRAF gang and got a surprise from his cargo http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=13778518 7) A tripple tanked smart bombing laser missile Ferox that tried to do a C1 site for about half an hour before we killed it. In the tradition of saving the best for last .... 8) This one in several stages * 2 corp mates used alts they didn't care about to solo reinforce a tower in a C2 out of boredom. * Dude logs on at the POS in his Hulk. Gives no ***** about the reinforced tower, and starts mining. Dies. * Guy from a random K162 enters in a Helios, scouts around, then returns in his domi. Decides he can give even less of a **** and runs sites despite the reinforced tower and the Hulk wreck on scan. Dies. * Guy from the target corp logs on and tries to solo rep the guns. In a thorax. Dies. * Guy from the target corp logs on and tries to solo rep the guns. Dies. Time passes, and the RF timer is near to expiry. We have a BS heavy fleet in the WH. We spot a Tengu scanning and assume it's a neut. Wrong, it's a DUCK Tengu. I wonder if .... Subtle as a boil on the ass, Narwhals have a dozen guys in the highsec and give the game away. A convo with the sieged residents confirms they paid Narwhaals 7billion to save them. Turns out, the bears have a Rorqual in this C2, and it can't leave. Cue rolling the highsec and making DUCK fly all over highsec to try to catch up with the entrance (poor hole control, guys) whilst we start chipping down the tower. Eventually the RNG hates us, and spawns the HS 2 jumps away from the last one, and it's 50guys in armour T3s and guardians time. Except they still manage to trickle into the WH somehow, and lose a 2.5bil Loki, despite it being on a highsec hole. We extract safely, leaving scanners in the WH. Next day, and they are slowly repping the shields on their tower. We gank a Basilisk and a DUCK Osprey trying to help out. All the mods are offline still, DUCK leave, tower not repaired. * Guy logs on and tries to solo rep .. (yeah, him again) .. results predictable. We tell them in local we aren't leaving. They try to run a site a few hours later. The Drake dies. A few more hours pass ... and ... eh? A wild control tower appears. Seems they have help arriving. * New guy tries to anchor his POS in a clumsy way, his Impel dies. * A little while later he warps to the sun @ 0 to drop probes, and dies. * POS finally goes up, and he starts anchoring guns (etc). * He goes out to put ammo in a gun, dies. * Later decides to orbit the WH at 50km uncloaked in a Anathema, dies. * Is randomly outside the shield anchoring bubbles below the POS in a cross formation. POS isn't set to shoot me, so he dies. * They sit in the POS and smacktalk for a couple of days. Meanwhile, a guy exits the other POS shield to solo rep .. loses his drones and gets back in structure. Reps himself, tries again. Same result. * Me and another guy stage a fight on the WH between our two scan alts, nearly get the one alt recruited into their corp. After a while of this, the new guys drop their POS and leave, claiming victory (?) I remain, however. * Guy tries to solo rep ... WHY ARE YOU STILL DOING THIS!!?!?! Another couple of days passes. I log on to find the POS gone, and a bunch of wrecks and cans in it's place. He's self destructed everything and left. For some 10bil in damages I had lost one bomber ninjaing onto the DUCK loki going down and used a few bombs and torps. Corp lost some ISK awarding me a medal for bombing excellence. I later found the guy selling alts on Eve-O to generate some cash. Victory. - "Do not touch anything unnecessarily.

subtle turtle Doozer Mining Cartel Situation: Normal 5	Posted - 2012.05.06 15:17:00 - [55] - Quote Was once sieging a POS with Buggery, and while camping the POS I notice a domi jump in and start running sites. I ask in alliance who is around and the only person close is Khanh'rhh in a SB. No problem, it's just a Domi, and I'm in a Tengu, so I figure we can take him. We warp in, and sure enough he starts to melt... Of course, being the PVP pro I am, I decide that there is no way I'm going to not get top damage on this kill, so I overheat... and of course burn out my launchers with the domi still in armor (active tanked). Khanh'rhh had some choice words in comms, if I recall correctly, however he was still able to save the day with a well timed bomb. Was sieging a Russian POS with an active Nagalfar with some friends, it was in reinforced when the owners decide to evacuate. We didn't have enough bubbles to cage the POS, so we bubbled up the HS and camp it. At some point they decided to get a hauler out, and as a distraction, they warp the Nag to the hole, right outside the bubble. We point it up, and then the hauler warps in. We switched primaries, popped the hauler, then move back to the nag, laughing over comms preemptively for our free cap kill. It was off peak hours for us, but we had a pretty good fleet, certainly enough to take down a lone dread, however what we didn't have was a HIC. No matter, we had a lot of points on him, should have been fine, that is until we see him warp off back to the tower. We had forgotten about remote ECM bursts... Also I remember the POS where they hired DUCKS that Khanh references in his post above. Best fight in a WH I've ever had, even though there was very little shooting and I wasn't involved when there was. I was in my scanny tengu playing "who can find the HS faster" with the DUCKS tengu. Ultimately we both would land on the WH at almost the same time. Probe PVP best PVP.

ostar ostar Odyssey Space Exploration 10	Posted - 2012.05.06 20:56:00 - [57] - Quote So me and some friends get together and find a hole leading to a C3. That's nice, time for some fun. Our scout goes through and sees a Fed Navy Comet camping the HS hole. They also have a mobile warp disruptor up.....10k from the hole itself. (as in the bubble was, not the actual disruptor thingy) It didn't even stop celestial warping to the hole. What. The. [insert rude word here for humorous effect] So one of our guys goes through in a merlin to try and bait him, too bad, he's gone. Then, a nemesis uncloaks and tries to bomb the **** out of our guy....in a merlin......yeah. Needless to say, he died pretty quick. For good measure most of his T2 gear dropped, although why you need navy cap booster charges on a nemesis i'll never quite figure out. Then our friend in the Navy Comet comes back and blows up our guy, only to find our kitchen sink fleet shredding him up. He goes down fast, partly because DPS, and partly because the guy was pure rep fit....using a coreli A-Type rep + AB, and no buffer. Thanks for the 60 million loot, dude. Next time, just give the money to the people directly, saves a lot of hassle. He then calls in help, as we see the following appear on scan: 2X Loki 1X Proteus 2X Dominix 2X Retriever (complete with mining drones, not sure if they were relevant but these guys were evidently nuts, so I wouldn't put it past them to not use battle-retrievers) This is against: 1X Ferox 1X Caracal 1X Hurricane 1X Cormorant Can you say: 'overkill'? We decided against fighting these guys, instead going to wallow in our total ~100 mil loot, leaving these guys to do, err, whatever they were doing. As much as we would have loved to of blown up the tower they had near the hole (only missle batteries for offence? ) The EWAR there would have easily overpowered us and our ships were not T3-proof. Are wormholes always this fun? Because this was just hilarious. EDIT: No killmails provided because screw searching battleclinic or w/e when it's late and i'm tired.

Omir Kajil Nephite Tribe Zero Hour Alliance 100	Posted - 2012.05.06 23:55:00 - [59] - Quote Haha oh man, some of these are just too good. Don't have anything of the same level of awesome, but I have some fun moments. Mostly fails on my side. (._.) On one of my first excursions into a wormhole, I brought a corp mate along who had even less experience. He had never actually been in a wormhole before. We entered the wormhole from HS (it was probably a c2 or a c3, don't remember) and I learned in about 15 seconds what I had never known my entire life: what a bubbled up wormhole with 5 or 6 folks camping it looks like. I was still fairly new to the game at this time, but I'd had multiple unpleasant experiences involving bubbles, so I had a feeling this was likely not a good thing. Now I didn't know anything about WH mechanics at the time but I still just went back through the WH anyway. My buddy, in his drake, slowboated to the edge of the bubble and warped off. He soon died. In his pod, he warped planet to planet trying to evade the assailants. He also had a set of +4's. At a much later date, I was in a wormhole corp but had some issues IRL and couldn't afford the subscription. A few months go by, I resub and log back in with sleepinix. And, I GUESS wormhole corps tend to move on occasion, and new ones move in, etc. I figured I would just scan my way out, with my non-cloaky dominix. I also figured that after warping to zero at the first planet and sitting there like the space whale I was, I didn't need to worry as long as I didn't see any combat scanner probes on my d-scan. Well, those probes on d-scan mysteriously vanished and were soon replaced by a proteus so I figured I was safe. Turns out there are in fact proteus pilots out there who know how to use d-scan properly. I just want you to know, I've only ever lost ONE battleship so far in my time playing eve.

Opes2 The Red Circle Inc. 0	Posted - 2012.05.07 02:19:00 - [61] - Quote Copied and pasted basically from AARs, with a few names/terms to protect the innocent. http://awhisperinmyghost.com/EvE/EDK/?a=kill_related&kll_id=4732 So, "battle" report. I logged on to see if there were any k-space exits because I was coming up on a new clone. Seeing a high-sec in corp BMs, but no one knew anythign about it, I decided to check it out. I should also mention that there was only one other and me logged on at this point and I wasn't initially on coms, cause I was only going to be logged in for 5 minutes, or so I thought. So, I jump into our static in my cov-ops, and warp to the hole at 20-30 KM. As I land on grid, my screen has a goddamn seizure cause :CCP: and the patch that was applied that say, and I end up in a HIC bubble, 10KM away from a fleet stabber that was camping the hole. So, after I started breathing again, I realized there was indeed a hole to high-sec, which the locals were using. Knowing this, I figured I would check how many locals were active, and if it was feasible to wait until they were done with whatever. So I started warping to all of the POSs in the system. Found a few piloted ships, then came upon a POS at P9M15. I had logged on to mumble after almost being ganked, to see if there was anyone around, just not logged in. So all I had to do was ask "Gentlemen, does anyone want to steal some ships?" That's right, we were going to Ram-raid an offline POS with active pilots in the system. There was 1 SMA and 1 CHA. Immediately after I asked, 4-5 people spoke up, we formed up with stealth bombers, a cloaky hauler, and a capsule or 2. Less than 10 minutes after I found the POS, we popped the 2 modules, and were looting as fast as we could. It took maybe 2 minutes before the first enemy ship landed, but we noticed almost as soon as he did, and GTFO'd. We ended up with a myrm, a rapier with a nice faction web, a bunch of BPCs, a few BPOs, and an Imp navy EANM. Not bad for about 7 minutes work. Those of you who bothered to look at who killed the hardeners will note that it was not TRECI. This operation almost ended in tears cause of that. After stealing their **, we figured they were mad enough to play, and reshipped into a kiting shield fleet. I was still watching the POS, that was now being onlined, and TRECI was less than a minute from jumping back into A, when this happened: http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/4346/treciavoidsdeath.jpg (TEMNAVA for the lazy) I wisely yelled check, stopped the fleet from coming in, and proceeded to watch the show: http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/9308/opesneedspopcorn.jpg I trashed the locals in local a bit n++[ 2012.04.24 22:15:26 ] > goddamn n++[ 2012.04.24 22:15:32 ] > you guys got ** on this one n++[ 2012.04.24 22:15:40 ] > i mean n++[ 2012.04.24 22:15:43 ] > 2 corps n++[ 2012.04.24 22:15:50 ] > thats just bad luck Found out some info n++[ 2012.04.24 22:16:33 ] > why the hell was it offline n++[ 2012.04.24 22:16:50 ] czMulti > member thats no longer a member ** up And even found out that NorCorp was somewhere around, just a bit dead n++[ 2012.04.24 22:25:29 ] W01F GEO > we cleared norcorp and you are killing their pods? :P n++[ 2012.04.24 22:25:44 ] W01F GEO > http://tmall.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=13165225 And then that, as they say, was that.

Chrisfaren Abyssal Frontier Jovian Empire 3	Posted - 2012.05.07 21:00:00 - [63] - Quote Nice stories here. I got one fail and one win we found pretty funny. The fail was when we were living in a c3 with hs static, we had the hole open and most of us were out fannying about. One member tho was sitting on the hole inside in a drake, and he suddenly called us all back. There was a drake some 50k from the hole. Needless to say many of us mumbled back and forth "Obvious trap is a trap", but he was determined to kill him. We all got back to the hole and suited up. He called me in a broadsword to warp to the hole at 50 and bubble up, so I did... And some friends fielded a Bhaalgorn, navy mega and some other stuff... And in came all the drakes friends. I cant remember all the details other than that I lost the broadsword, the bhaal died and the navy mega died. Our FC in the drake jumped to hs... This was when we still warped to all our new wormholes to "check where they went" without jumping, thinking we were safe... Yeah, we got raped a few times... But over to more pleasant stuff. We currently live in a C5 and there were just two of us online. I was playing skyrim >.< shhh. Anyways, I get a text asking if I could get online, "there is killz to be had". So I promptly logged in. Apparently someone from another C5 had opened their static to ours. Report was they had a chimera and some other fun stuff. But shortly after they opened their hole, they all decided to form a mining op. 5 hulks in a belt with a itty for hauling. Sadly they were seperated with the biggest gang of 3 hulks. We got a bookmark (they did not even spot probes). I jumped in a Broadsword, friend in a Proteus and an alt of another dude in, yeah a probe i think it was... Moments later 3 hulks around 240 mill each were gone, and 3 pods were sent express to hs. One was over 500 mill. And he was the Chimera pilot :) I guess someone forgot to tell the rest he loaded the static EDIT: Yeah we kept watch on the hole for a while. Everyone logged and noone was seen again. We let the hole die on its own.
Radelix Cisko The Adjustment Team 90	Posted - 2012.05.07 22:56:00 - [64] - Quote On the second day that my corp moved into our very first C2 we ran the sites and scanned down some new ones and ran those. We all grouped up and were waiting for our indy guy to show up to take the loot out and bring back some POS fuel. While we were waiting a corpie and I decided to brawl. He got me knocked into armor and wouldn't stop shooting. So I locked the Noctis, scrammed it, and threatened to put a salvo into it if I got shot. My corpmate stops shooting and calls over comms for every one to lock me for threatening the loot ( 20 ribbons in the hold and 7 members online). So my shields are charging at this point and my corp mate calls for another guy to fire on me from a 1400 Arty Tribal Tempest. Except he misheard and locked the Noctis which I had unscrammed and was telling the pilot to run to the POS. Tempest: 1 Untanked Noctis: 0 what did not drop: 1 single ribbon It is now a corp ritual to sacrifice a Noctis in every hole we move into.

As I was traveling we were talking about making a bombing run on it, something that I hadn't done yet (had just trained up for bombs a few days before). So when I got in system I switched to my Combat tab which doesn't show corp members and made my run. Unfortunately my Combat tab doesn't show corp members, so I didn't see how close some of them were to the carrier. The next thing I know that guys are shouting "Bomb!" on comms and I'm saying "Um, was I not suppose to launch?!". Managed to give Kip some armor damage on his Proteus My bombing skills have improved :) Recently we popped a Nighthawk, and while waiting on the wormhole back to our C2 they warped in a Macherial and a Falcon at range (about 70Km from the hole). I think they were trying to scare us off, but when JamesWyh burned to the Mach for the tackle and the rest of us followed the Falcon pilot warped off. The Macherial died and The Night Crew went to bed. Just like there is no I in Team there is no Fair in Eve...

Fine, it didn't collapse on him, but it certainly collapsed on the scorp we suicided to trap him in with us. Only down side was the dumb git self destructed his RS before we could break his tank. Mind you, from the looks of his kill board he needed to keep the loss off of it. Runner up goes to the German corp who fail folded their K162 into our system. They jumped through two orcas at a time, and then wondered why one became trapped on our side. Said orca didn't last long. We facepalmed ourselves at how epically incomptent people had to be pull off that kind of loss. Honourable mention to the guy two Sundays ago who was mining without D-scanning. The only thing that stopped me claiming his hulk as a kill was someone beating me to it, in between going back to get my ships and arriving on site. I'll admit I wibbled about my **** poor luck to my corp mates after that.

This could be fun. But it's late and I have to log. And next morning I log in and they've all packed up their POS and evacced.

I think a bit more and realise that my options are to self-destruct the Chimera for insurance or use it for fun fights in their system. The second option sounds a lot more fun. However, the Chimera fit is pretty shoddy, so I need a POS to refit it. So I throw a POS up and spam some turrets. By this stage the occupants are logging in. Some nice shiny ships, T3s, faction BS! This could be fun. But it's late and I have to log. And next morning I log in and they've all packed up their POS and evacced. So I contacted a broker and sold the system (C2 with C3 static I think), including my POS and the Chimera, for over 2 billion. see this is what i wish i could find in wormholes...

TL;DR: panicked carebears

One the of them decided to make a run for the wormhole. In a Cheetah full of sleeper loot. Smart move right? Not when the ship lacks a cloak, and not when there are onyx on the field of battle. Not to mention he warps directily from the POS. Of course he got caught in my fleet mate's bubble, and then discovered I was sitting cloaked directly in line with the POS. Leaving him caught in 2 perfectly over lapping bubbles.

Please make sure to: 0) Not have your Onyx light up a bubble (no doubt hoping to catch my pod for a kill). 1) Not lose the purifier to drones and HMLs. 2) Not lose the nemesis to drones, HMLs and your own bomb () 3) Not bring your dramiel (when did you think this was a good idea to begin with?) into small neut range, get caught in the Onyx's bubble and subsequently not only lose your poorly fit Dram, but also get podded and lose some juicy implants. 4) Not bring a Proteus (also into bubble range), then get caught on a structure and almost get popped because you can't warp away before getting into structure. 5) Not wait almost 45 mins before deciding you've lost enough ships/ISK/time and leave the benign drake to go its own way - 2 drones and a few thousand scourge rounds lighter. 6) Bring something with some DPS that won't die when the drake farts at it. I admit to derping as well. I'd been taking meds for a cold and was only half-thinking when I decided to run sigs while waiting for meds to kick in again. Bad idea. Really - bad - idea.

All of the guards follow and sit on the HS, deep inside the bubble. The mining ships keep mining. Crucifier alt waits out his 5 minutes and jumps back in so all attention is on the WH while the manticore decloaks and starts popping barges. As most of the barges are 2-boxed the guards don't even realize what's going on till its too late and their own T2 large bubble prevents them from warping to save their remaining barge.

QT McWhiskers Hard Knocks Inc. 2	Posted - 2012.05.17 07:31:00 - [108] - Quote Not long ago one of my corp mates finds an offline pos in a c2 that is 5 wormholes down the chain. Crapton of modules online in the pos including a few CHAs and SMAs and some assembly arrays and some refining arrays. We bat phone the guys playing terra (lol) and all pretty much dual box BCs into the hole and get ready for a pinata. We pop the first SMA... and a pheonix pops out. Pop the second and a bunch of t2 cruisers, battlecruisers, and an orca pops out. So by this time we are pretty hysterical as we are laughing our asses off. We pop the last two SMAs and ***** fall out of our chairs as a rorq and a chim pop out. So I pop my alt in the orca and try to scoop my harby from my alt. It says there isnt enough room. I look in the SMA in the orca and see a hulk... So we take tally of everything and someone opens the last can and just starts busting out laughing. The guy had over 10k blocks of minmatar fuel in his CHAs. Unfortunately, because the pheonix, rorq, and chim came form a SMA we didnt get kill mails when we killed them. (none of the caldari cap pilots were online.) Another fun one was when we had our tengu gang running sites in static. There was an active pos inside, but the members were offline. We were on site 2 of 15 when we noticed a nidhoggur on Dscan. So we GTFO and get scouts in. Scout at pos notices that the nid jumps into a probey loki. We order the noctis to go to site one and start tractoring the wrecks in. Not salvaging in case the loki gets lucky. Sabre is cloaked up in site, 5k off of noctis and our fleet is waiting on other side of wormhole. Loki warps in, sabre uncloaks and pops bubble and we get our free kill. Halfway through the kill we hear. "Thanatos and Nidhoggur just warped out of pos." Two carriers warped into the site to *** on a noctis kill. kb.hard-knocks.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1437 Seeing as we only had a few members online and just enough to kill these two carriers, I refit my bhaal for all neuts and warp back in to site and start to go to work. Two more carriers warp into the site as our own corp members keep trickling in from playing terra. Now we have 2 guardians, two or three armor t3s, one all neut bhaalghorn, and a few dps BCs and BSes against 4 carriers. As we all start to realize that we cant handle this fleet, batphones are lit all over our corp. 3 more bhaalghorns log in, 2 more BS and a large number of T3s log in. We managed to kill two of the carriers, one was able to get away because we were bumping him out so we only had to worry about neuting three and the only point on him DCed. The fourth self destructed when he was in high armor. kb.hard-knocks.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1435 kb.hard-knocks.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=1433 (KM links changed to text as they arent linking correctly) It was only after the battle was over did we realize that these guys were fail fit and how bad they were. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFh2Zsptz90 Video was started halfway through the fight.

So we bounced to the safe and the mos lands. It recieves a quick trip to high sec. We then bounce back to the iteron and its just sitting there. We end it and take a full load of ark from it. We tried ransoming them, but the guy only spoke Japanese. Ah well, maybe next time.

Wrayeth We Reach Around Situation: Normal 16	Posted - 2012.05.20 06:34:00 - [121] - Quote Alrighty, I haven't been playing EVE much lately, so most of these stories will be old. In any case, I was bored one day and none of my corpmates were online (this is how most of my good PvP stories start ). I decide I'm going to go wormhole diving, so I pop my alt into his arazu and my main into his abso and start throwing out probes. I eventually find an occupied wormhole, a C1 with one whole harbinger on scan as well as a batch of scan probes. Since there were no POS in the system, I figured he was probably at a safe and had a cloaky alt doing the probing. Even so, I decided to go looking. To my surprise, he was a few kilometers off of a planet and actively aligned towards the sun. Since he was already aligned, I figured my chances of catching him were pretty low unless I did something sneaky, so I bookmarked the planet's warp-in, warped to the sun, warped back to the bookmark at 100km, bookmarked again, etc. until my alt's cloaked arazu was in point range. At that point, I jumped my main into the wormhole and warped to the sun at zero. As my main was landing, I uncloaked the arazu and started trying to lock the harby who, predictably, warped out. I warped my alt to the sun at 70km in case the hostile warped in at 100km, but it turned out to be unnecessary - he landed 2km from my main's absolution. In another episode of "Bored and Need Something to Do," I was again going wormhole diving when my alt spotted a hauler doing PI. I also discovered there was a POS in the system along with a few other active pilots. Since I didn't have a hauler of my own nearby to collect the loot and a T1 hauler kill isn't particularly impressive or lucrative, I decided to poke the hornet's nest and see what showed up. I uncloaked the arazu and started lighting the hauler up with 2 blasters and 5 drones. When he got into structure, though, I shut the guns off and pulled back all but one drone, then sat back to wait. Sure enough, zealot and prophecy suddenly on scan. I popped the hauler, then started burning away with my alt's arazu. I jumped in my main and landed an absolution on both the prophecy and zealot while they were chasing my alt's arazu (which had them pointed). Net result: 1 dead badger mark II and zealot (the prophecy got away somehow, though I don't remember the circumstances; it may have been due to multiboxing). The only other story that I recall off the top of my head happened more recently. I was boredly spinning my ship in station and trolling corpchat for something to do. Suddenly, one of my corpies says "I've got two tengus in a wormhole doing sites." After suppressing a "Will you have my babies?" remark, I ask for more info. He says they're about 20 jumps away and we probably won't get there in time; he also can't do anything about them himself since he's in a covops. I immediately tell him to keep watch since I'm headed that way. I ask if anyone else is coming and get desultory groans about flying 20 jumps and likely getting blue-balled. After telling them I'm doing it anyway, a few more people start getting interested. Meanwhile, I'm on the way with my alt's arazu. At this point, I decide to pull out a ship I haven't used in a while and undock my machariel, since it will be able to get there fast with high DPS and a neut. While we're traveling, our scout reports both tengus have pulled back to the POS and one of them reshipped into a falcon. Luckily, I carry an ECCM in my machariel's cargo hold, so I quickly docked up and refit, then continued on my way. At this point, our scout reports the falcon pilot reshipped back into the tengu and they're starting to run sites again. I arrive at the lowsec system we'll be jumping in from shortly before our onyx pilot, who was also quick off the mark. As usual, I jumped the arazu in and warped to our scout. Half the gang wasn't there yet, but the tengus were finishing the last site in the system, so I primed my alt's warp disruptor and uncloaked. I got both tengus locked, but when I tried to disrupt the second tengu I found that, in priming my disruptors, I had fat-fingered both F1 and F2, activating both warp disruptors instead of just one; this allowed the un-pointed tengu to get into warp and resulted in much cursing over vent. Meanwhile, my corpmates had jumped in, warped to the alt, and begun shooting the pointed tengu. My machariel eventually arrived on the field, delayed by my frantic efforts to deactivate the arazu's second disruptor and point the other tengu. Regardless, I got Wrayeth on grid and started burning for the remaining tengu, who was doing his best to imitate a startled gazelle and afterburning away at 700m/s. I caught up with him just as he exited my alt's arazu's point range and started lighting him up. However, he wasn't going down as quickly as I expected. I was calling out on ventrilo for my gangmates to get more DPS on the target, only to hear a response of, "We can't! He's out of range and we can't keep up with him!" I checked, and sure enough all of them but the onyx (who had caught up and was using a focused disruption script on the tengu) were about 50km back and the gap was slowly widening. At this point, I resigned myself to having to do the heavy lifting myself, and continued to give my buddies grief about their cruisers being slower than my dual-plated triple-armor-rigged battleship as I slowly chewed through the tengu's tank...which abruptly started failing as he finally ran out of cap thanks to the neut.
Wrayeth We Reach Around Situation: Normal 16	Posted - 2012.05.20 06:41:00 - [122] - Quote Then the other tengu pilot came back...in a falcon. In fact, he was only about 30km from my machariel, which made me grin viciously as his jamming bounced off of my 50 LADAR strength. After confirming that the onyx was not, in fact, jammed and still had a point on the tengu, I turned and bum-rushed the falcon, pointing him and killing him in two volleys since he couldn't be bothered to fit a tank. That done, it was simply a matter of catching up with the tengu again which our leet onyx of doom had continued to hold point on, neuting his cap down (again), and finishing him off. As I opened his wreck, this started playing in my head as I saw "X-Type" on one of the modules that survived. http://www.eve-snafu.com/kb/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=4214 EDIT: One other story, which I don't recall in anywhere near that level fo detail, basically involves finding a small gang bashing a POS in a wormhole. Basically, it was 4 or 5 battlecruisers and 3 tengus, and the BCs were 50km away from the tengus and incapping mods while the tengus shot the tower. Why they would do something so stupid I don't know, but I do know that 3 tengus failed to kill my alt's arazu (which had all 3 pointed andI had expected to lose) in the time it took for backup to arrive. IIRC, the net result was that the BC pilots threw good money after bad by flying 50km in a failed attempt to save their T3 buddies. EDIT #2: Also, \o Buggery and all of the former EGO guys in this thread.

A few seconds of scanning reveals that, surprisingly, it appears to be at planet or moon, not at a POS. Maybe it's trying to anchor a tower? Anyway, after a couple of minutes of scanning I have it narrowed down to a moon, and I see it sitting there as my cloaked Proteus lands on grid. Unfortunately, the Orca chooses this exact moment to cloak up. And I wasn't able to see how far it was from me, or even in which direction. So the chances of me being able to get within SS scrambler range before it can warp off after it uncloaks are minimal. So, what to do? Well, I brought in an alt in an Arazu with RF point for the full 72 km tackle range, and switched the Proteus into something DPSy, a shield Hyperion I think, and kept it at my POS next door. And started waiting. Even with cloaking V and a sensor booster, I'd have to be quick on the draw to point the Orca before it can warp off after uncloaking, especially if it has a MWD. If it's stabbed, no chance. Finally after a good hour, it uncloaks, only 50 km from my Arazu. It's not stabbed and the point hits home. I start to bring the Hyperion in, as five Warriors from the Arazu will not give a quick kill! Switching back to the Arazu I see my Hype appear on scan - but along with a pod, which I recognise as being from the Orca pilot's alliance. Why is he warping a pod into the fight? A few seconds later it becomes clear, as the Orca ejects two Guardians, then jumps out of the Orca and into one Guardian. But my Hype has landed by now, and I lock up the manned Guardian, and start whacking it with overloaded guns, trying to drop it before the second Guardian can be manned and start repping it. The capsule lands on grid... then it jumps into the other Guardian, and I'm still working on armour. But it still has to lock up the first Guardian and wait for reps to cycle, and in a flash the structure is obliterated. Knowing that his Guardian stands no chance alone, its pilot has the wherewithal to eject and jump back into the Orca, then scoop the surviving Guardian, to prevent its mods and cargo dropping. Inevitably the Orca dies. There's nothing much in the wreck, but the mail reveals a BPC set for building a Phoenix blew in cargo.

MackemInSpace Harm Co. 17	Posted - 2012.05.22 11:03:00 - [127] - Quote I had an amusing triple-FAIL a few weeks ago, in which the third FAIL actually saved me from the second. Closing a wormhole on my own, triple-boxing an Orca and a pair of BS. My first fail was miscounting, ending up with the Orca and a Tempest on the opposite side of a hole when it turned critical. I think "No problem, all I need to do is tandem-jump them both and I'll be fine". The Orca had a probe launcher, the Tempest did not. So I select the worhmole on both clients and prepare to hit "Jump" on one then the other in quick succession, Tempest first then Orca. I take a breath, steady myself, and go for it... click, click.... "Oh hang on, what's that pop-up box on the Tempest's screen?" Yes, that's FAIL 2: not paying attention to my polarity timer on the Tempest. "Nooo, that means the Orca's going to close the hole and leave the Tempest inside!" Luckily, FAIL 3 was that I'd forgotten to uncloak the Orca as well, so NEITHER ship jumped. I waited for polarity to stablise and managed to tandem-jump both ships back to our system safely, "successfully" closing the hole. One of the few times in life I've thanked my lucky stars for my own idiocy.

I've only tried it twice. The first time I tried it, ship 2 bounced back, so I was convinced it didn't work, but a corpmate assured me that it did, so when I found myself in that situation described in my previous post my only option was to try it. But yes, my reasoning for hitting "jump" on the Tempest first was because I thought it was likely that the 2nd ship wouldn't make it and with the Orca having a probe launcher I preferred my chances of getting it out than the Tempest. As you say, I was probably just lucky that the Tempest didn't actually close the hole.

Xanral Ajo Heavy Industries 9	Posted - 2012.05.24 19:44:00 - [135] - Quote How to make 8 billion ISK in an hour and the most paranoid WH occupant I have ever known 1. We get a C1 connection and have a quick peek inside, 3 towers, 3 force fields. One of our guys warps on grid of one of the POSes (one of the production POSes) and everyone else goes afk for an hour for lunch. As our scout warps away to go afk himself he sees the force field drop and quickly comes back and confirms that it was not his eyes playing tricks on him. He switches to a manticore and begins blowing up modules as fast as he can. The SMA spits out a rorqual which he destroys. The other arrays spit out a bunch of capital part BPOs that have been researched and end up selling to the tune of 8 billion ISK after a month on the market. The owners of the POS logged on about an hour after the force field went down with the intention to refuel it. 2. We blow up a guy's (hereafter referred to as R) transport in a C1 WH while he's doing PI. We don't speak at all, zero communication from us. This must have been a huge deal to him as R makes a website denouncing us as horrible scum and starts spamming the link in local. We decide that someone like this could be really fun to mess with so we leave a scan alt inside his WH. R starts a day by day accounting of events as he stays inside his POS thinking we're out there, cloaked, waiting... He never considers the fact that we have our own WH or checks a killboard to see that we're blowing up people on a daily basis in other WHs. Every few days we'll send someone into his WH to blow up a ratter to keep up appearances. R begins to write about how his medium amarr POS is invincible (guns, neuts, and ECM) in a C1 WH. He grows more paranoid day by day, at first thinking we were just random strangers, then mercs hired to get him, and finally even begins to wonder if we plan to hunt him down in real life. As an important note we've still said nothing to him. He even blames the ratters we've been killing as probably being in on the thing from the beginning and denounces them. He tries to ransom us for a billion ISK otherwise he'll say more mean things about us on his website not realizing we're linking the website to everyone we know for shared laughs. His WH neighbor gets fed up with this and asks us (the people who have been blowing him up) if he can come along to destroy R's POS if we do hit it. So one weekend we bring a modest force of 5 BCs and 2 logi and reinforce and then kill R's POS. We mix that with a wardec so we can shoot R in HS if he manages to pull stuff outside during the reinforcement timer. Only after this part do our guys have any communication with him and yeah, at this point its all smack talk. During the last 24 hours of the war one of our guys catches him in HS and blows up his battlecruiser. R warps his pod to station, logs off, and those of us that kept him on their watch list never see him online for the 6 months he stayed on the watch list.

The noctis jumped to his home system to try and escape but my proteus scout (parked there since the c2 was eol) was on the other side waiting for him uncloaked thanks to Kunings warning. Kuning followed him and we lit the bastard up. He jumped back, but poor Kuning was on a timer now. Luckily, Talon and my other character participating in the ganks were landing on the other side. We pretty much one shot the guy since he was in half armor due to our assault on the other side. Pew pew.

More on that in a bit. Now that we had gotten our excitement, we decided to salvage this gentleman's site. Luckily we brought a destroyer, not a noctis (fyi you can't tractor someone elses wrecks). We had seen a proteus in system but he was cloaky and we couldn't find him. Suddenly 2 hurricanes swarm in and gank Talonaer. http://killboard.lostalliance.net/index ... tail/5218/.

Well after a bit, a long bit, he starts hauling again. By this time the c2a has collapsed in my alts face (the hole was eol), so it's just me and vkanth against a viator. Eventually he decides to switch to an itty V, I guess the viator didn't have enough cargo for him. Well, we only have 2 cloaky t3s and I'm watching the pos. I say we need a bubble but the hisec is now 22 jumps away from vero. Instead I have vkanth go buy a mobile bubble 2 jumps away and we position a bubble trap 20k off the wormhole. For a while, nothing happens. He takes down a cha and mobile array in his pos and sits there. For over an hour. Unfortunately vkanth needed to go afk, and I was watching this guy pos spin. I got bored, it had been an hour of no movement. What did I do? Load up some Diablo 3 of course. I joined a game with some friends part way into it I see something move out of the corner of my eye on my other monitor (3 monitors ftw).

Oh Lordy lordy lordy. So there I was, it was Caldari space, in some hick-arse cnstellation in Lonetrek where 00 ALCOR Russian Imperial Division lives, to this day, and still, to this very day, goes wormhole diving. It is known as SHANGRI-LA if ever you see your static here during Russian primetime, you too may get a visit from the greatest failwhales. Anyway. I have previously noted the fail is strong with 00 ALCOR Russian Imperial Division, and so when I see one of them in local, probing, my ears perk up, my palms get sweaty, and my trouser zone tight. I begin mumbling things at Wintz, stuff like "wake up you moron, we're going to get kills!" and he's all like "whut? whut do you have?" "Nothing yet. Just wait." I say. Which, I admit, did sound pretty damn lame. Anyway, Wintz goes AFK, and I set in for a decent camp out in hisec, watching a dude's magnate on gate, from my CHEETAH OF DOOM. An indeterminate length of time later, there's suddenly a half dozen 00 ALCOR Russian Imperial Division at gate! In, if I recall, the Apoc Navy Issue, a Geddon Navy Issue, 3 Drakes and something else. Maybe a Prophecy. They warp to a hole, I warp to a planet and dump BM's and start yammering on comms. Two faction BS! Piloted by two week old noobs! Eeeee! I follow them into the hole and watch them do about 4 or 5 sites, warping to the sun and back as their tanks bust. This takes an hour. I've given up on the batphone by this stage. But suddenly Wintz wakes up and gets on the batphone; we have 4 Abbadons, a Scorp, a Phoon and so on all inbound. BM's are swapped, we wait for them to warp to a site from the sun, and decide we'll give it a shot with sleepers on field with the CHEETAH OF DOOM decloaking for point on the Apoc at the absolute last minute, likely to die gloriously in hero tackle mode. Anyway, I sidle the CHEETAH OF DOOM into range, get decloaked at 23km by a missile (remember when that used to happen? fun times!) and call in the fleet. Instead of staying to save the Apoc from the lone CHEETAH OF DOOM which is pointed, the Russians pile out of the hole. I hang on for grim death (to 15% structure) wondering how this dude is hitting me so well and where the crayhole are his lasers?!? But gambaratsu! I have tackled Tengus for 2.5 minutes before, I can do a Apoc Navy Issue! Then he basically evaporates when the fleet lands; most of us couldn't get on the mail. And then it became clear. There was to be no shiny faction drops for us. Only eternal lols. The skilful employer of men will employ the wise man, the brave man, the covetous man, and the stupid man.

But you can't always track your enemies, so you have to have some missiles, so you can shoot those pesky frigs that orbit under your guns. Um. A warp disruptor is self-evident; you don't want anyone getting away from your choke DPS. You want to bait people in with a shield booster on an armour ship, so you've got to have one of those. But you need some buffer, so your enemies don't miss the fact you are shield boosting. Cap booster, well that's very damn effective on account of your capless guns, see? leaves more cap for tanking! Um. Overdrive for more maneuverability. Gimps your cargo a bit, I admit, which is maybe the only flaw with the fit since you're running off cap bosters. Of course, since you are ging fast, you need to be able to turn faster, so you must have an i-stab. CPU, because all this is hard to fit choke, and a CFC to give you more cap. But, er, it gimps your shield recharge. But no worries, you have an active shield tank, so dodged a failfit on that one! Phew! Which leaves us the armour rep, in case you dip into armour through the beastly shield tank. BCU and gyro to add DEEEEPS, and a DCU in case you accidentally bait-tank too much in armour and they touch into hull. It all makes perfect sense! Or open hangar, right-click fit all. Occam's Razor.

Our first nullsec connection after moving into a C5, scout pops out and sees a Thanny on grid with the hole. It manages to warp off before he can point it. Thanny then warps back with a different pilot (same Thanny) and gets pointed. In the interim, we've formed up a gang to kill it. Turns out they changed pilots because the first guy couldn't use the T1 medium bubble in the cargohold. Also, setting your forcefield password to the CEO's name is not a great idea. I wonder if those guys noticed their own dreads were top damage on their tower loss.
Miles Parabellum The Grindmonkeys 3	Posted - 2012.05.26 20:02:00 - [148] - Quote While flying a quickly thrown together probe (yep, no cloak for me), I found a C1 WH with the intention of doing some anoms on my way through. D-scan showed one drake and a quick scan revealed two anoms left in the system, so I quickly warped to my entry hole with the intention of coming back in something cloaky with actual dps. However, on the way out, the guy must have caught me on his own D-scan, because he commented on the name of my ship in local. I didn't answer, but simply left the hole and went on a seemingly endless jump-tour from the backwater hi-sec-system I came out in, to the nearest trade hub, where I bought and fitted a pilgrim. After that, I, naturally, had to do the whole jump-tour again to get back to the whole, which must have taken me altogether about 30-45 minutes. I was pretty sure that my efforts were for nothing, but to my surprise, the drake was still on D-scan. So I warped to the first anom, and there he was, happily murdering the weak C1 sleepers in his drake. I knew I probably didn't have the dps to break his tank, and I sure as hell didn't have the tank to suck up both his missile damage and the damage from the remaining sleepers, so instead, I just slowly maneuvered closer, making sure to keep both him and the sleepers far enough away from me that they wouldn't decloak me. Or so I thought. Suddenly, one sleeper cruiser got a little too close for comfort, so I decided to warp out in order to stay cloaked. At this point I figured he must have dismissed the probe on D-scan earlier as nothing to be worried about. However, just as I warped out, the sleeper decloaks me anyway, so the moment I start warping, I must have shown up in his overview no longer than 10 or so km away. This would freak me out if I was ratting, and I was cursing at myself for noobing up my first real WH space solo kill. The guy even wrote in local again for me to stop poking around and join him instead. Now, I don't know about you guys, but I still have enough e-conscience left that when people talk nice to me and act sympathetically, I have a hard time pulling the trigger... Still, I decided to still hang around, because if he was brave (or silly) enough to actually try to salvage the wrecks, I might be able to make a little cash from popping his ship when we was done. But seriously, who would do that, given the events which had just taken place? 3-4 minutes later, the drake disappears from D-scan. Instead, a noctis shows up. So I warp back in at some distance and sure enough, there he is again, salvaging the wrecks. I just knew that this was a trap, but I was at peace with that. I wanted to see where this was going, so once again I maneuvered closer and waited for him to finish salvaging. When there was only one wreck left next to the noctis, I clicked approach, uncloak, and hit the AB in order to delay his warp if possible, then got the lock and scram. Then I unleashed the drones and neuts. Strangely, no nasties uncloaked or warped in. Instead, he just abandoned the ship (I failed to get the pod, sadly) and warped out. Me, I finished the noctis, looted the wreck and warped off, wondering how somebody could be so incautious. Oh, and the noctis dropped all MNRs and most of the tags :) TL;DR: I manage to valiantly engage an unarmed ship and kill it, despite the other pilot having had plenty of warning that he was being hunted. The guy has plenty of kills and losses on battleclinic, so he should know better, I guess.

Zso Sahal Obstergo TEMNAVA 0	Posted - 2012.05.28 06:20:00 - [152] - Quote Few weeks ago, roaming w/ corpmates, we stumble on a system, 2 poses, a drake and 2 orcas on dscan. Find them, warp to pos.... Wtf is one orca doing 400k from the pos?!?!?! Coms go nuts, we look more closely, the other orca is 70k from the pos, getting bumped back in by the drake. Someone f*cked up the settings. We ninja the orca @ 400k. The Drake then starts shooting at the orca he's bumping to prevent a second theft... and the guns blow him up. He then reships to a tengu, goes back out of the shields, but unfortunately he'd fixed the settings. We were seriously hoping he'd get blown up again. Orca. 2 carrier bpc kits in the hold. It was a good day.

I figure hey the raven in there is far enough away that even if he decides to try and get me i can at least get out with my pod. So i warp in board the Domi and start warping out ... wasnt being targeted or anything... anyways i get out of the Wormhole after a failed attempt to bait him and we start chatting with the Raven pilot...Apparently a director attempted to un-anchor everything to steal it got caught and they forgot to store the ships before changing the password... So needless to say I managed to snag a Domi plus 15 mil in fittings.

Its actually a long story but going to just single out the fail moment of it. Group is moving out of their WH (HS static) and has an outlaw in an orca. Orca warps to the HS and jumps out and gets a navy spawn on top of him so he jumps back inside (now on a 5 minute timer). Bomber wing decloaks and pops him.
Bane Nucleus The Kairos Syndicate Transmission Lost 67	Posted - 2012.06.07 22:33:00 - [174] - Quote This isn't too much fail, but it's a nice writeup by a corpmate of mine: It had been a good week for me. I killed a primae, practiced my target calling and found some fail. But the real fun started at the end of the week. I had gotten my alt trapped in a c2 by going in an eol hole a few days previous. The new HS was an island that was 21 jumps from vero. I decided to camp around their system abit. Leading up to Friday I had ganked their CEOS covetor. What did they do to catch this fearsome cheetah? Bubble their HS of course! Unfortunately, they anchored the bubble from the direction of their pos. A bubble won't catch a cheetah really, but it will catch a pod you try and warp from the pos to HS. Sooo good game, you caught your own pod in your own bubble. After this what is left to do but try it again in a hawk? Luckily a dual web astarte can melt a hawk, trololol. Now these guys were pretty upset by this point. They finally took down the bubble and warped 2 tech3s and a drake to the hole and sat 20k off of it, waiting for me to come in. I was in HS with the astarte, so I'm sure they were expecting that. However, I decided to bring a few friends which they didn't expect. Our friends burned 14 jumps fairly quickly and voila, we engaged. It didn't go well for them. Now notice the tengu was very expensive and it was also the ceos. A little later, a guy that was getting a little hot headed toward me tried to bait me. Well I took the bait and survived, but my cheetah hit 33% structure that round. The next day I sent the CEO a mail, offering to leave for 300 mil. After some confirmation from my directors, he paid and I left, but not before killing a gentleman on the way out of their static c3. I tipped my directors. The guy ended up being very chill with the ransom and started hanging out in Lost-pub. I told him to give us a shout if he ever needed anything. Cool fellow. Then the rest of the weekend started to get really interesting. We found some bait in a c5 off of a c2 connected to vero. We formed up a nice fleet and ganked the bait. Then we ran away. Our scouts saw the enemy fleet mobilize and start moving around the c2. We decided we would engage. The following battle lasted a good 20 minutes jumpin in and out of the c5 then following the stragglers back to their wormhole. I called primaries like a beast and they didn't do so well. That's what you get for causing my only tech3 loss bastards. Revenge is a sweet thing (I had warped my proteus to dora once and mid warp a 30 man gang landed, bye bye proteus). Now let me run down the target calling here for people who might not understand what to primary. The falcon was at zero stupidly so that was a no brainer and probably won the fight for us, or made it much easier(we lost our falcon the same way due to fleet warp and him not paying full attention). The next were the hurricanes and brutix (preferably brutix first). High dps ships, but low tanks. Fast to clear off and lowers enemy dps significantly, plus hurricane neuts are problematic. Pretty good primaries there. Next was the slepnir because it also pumps out a shitton of dps. Then we began work on some of the tankier ships: tengu and drake. Not terribly too dps and tanky so they were last on the priorities for me. I decided to give most of the faction loot to our lost falcon pilot and the rest our pilot that had lost the hurricane. Quick and easy. After this, we closed the hole and went plexxing. Yay! During the plex op, a few proteus started messing around on the HS but a few of my alts and people left in vero scared them off again. They didn't seem to like my abso fit, I'm not sure why, and I called them pansies for fighing on a hisec. After the plex fleet they decided to come back. At this point we had pretty good numbers since the plex had finished. We noticed the Proteus on d-scan. This guy was sitting at 0 on the HS hole. Turns out this is a guy that earlier today had come with 2 proteus's and just tangled with Sin but no kills were made before everyone left. Well they came back wanting to fight again I guess. Second proteus wasnt online, just the one proteus. We decided to form up in battleships and send them to the HS hole and jump out heavy (it was half mass already). At this point one of our guys jumped back in followed by the battleships again. The hole sputtered and whined, then after 10 seconds closed. The proteus was trapped. We immediately pointed the Proteus and 2 manticores decloaked and launched bombs. Point was gotten on one manticore and we primaried the Proteus. The first manticore however got out of point range and warped. Proteus then was destroyed and his pod warped. Second manticore was grabbed with a point and popped. His pod warped. Cue 5 minutes of bouncing around vero while Bane works on a ransom fee for these guys. They quickly pay 500 million for a way out. http://killboard.lostalliance.net/index.php/kill_detail/5922/ http://killboard.lostalliance.net/index.php/kill_detail/5921/ So we let them out, turns out they had about 10 billion in pods (Zerhix was running high grade slaves and officer hardwires, about 6 bil for his pod). Still though, we honor ransoms and we got our 500 mil out of them Alliance Diplomat, Recruiter
Bane Nucleus The Kairos Syndicate Transmission Lost 67	Posted - 2012.06.07 22:34:00 - [175] - Quote continued... Moving on, the next morning I noticed a itty 3 and a buzzard going out to our highsec 8j from Jita, quick show info proves them to be our static wh residents. So I setup my thrasher on the hole to catch them on the way back. A few friends join me at this point, we get a few cloaky scouts and Tim in a bubble. Well I'm just sitting in dora with a moros and a orca on scan in a thrasher. I do a quick directional and both look like they are at a pos but I have TJ come and scout anyway while we cloak up the bubble on the dora hole and I watch the highsec on my alt. TJ finds the moros unpiloted at the pos observation, but the orca is toward a different pos and planet entirely. TJ warps to the planet to find out which moon this other pos is at. Well, there is the orca sitting at the planet anchoring a customs office with my thrasher in plain view for the last 5 minutes. I quickly pull my cloaky prot off the hs and we tackle. Immediately he convos asking for ransom. I ask for a bil because i'm ballsy and this orca his halfway through armor. We stop dps and move tim in the HIC to bubble him. He tells me he only has 80 mil. I tell him that it wasn't good enough and that he is going to eject. He asks if he can get his indy and some pos mods out. I agree because I dont' care about pos mods and just want a ***** orca. At first he is unsure if he can trust us but he agrees. So he pops his impel out of the orca and takes some pos mods and continues on his way back to his pos. I quickly store my proteus and take off with a motherfucking orca being the honorable gentlemen we are. I plan on using it in combat/baiting/rolling and for popping wormholes on people who play highsec games like the people above. Fly it like you stole it my friends. Well then it starts to get really silly. I had moved back to watch the Hisec and sure enough, here comes the itty 3. Popped and podded. Then the buzzard comes back. Poppedand podded. These guys are obviously not having a good day. Well TJ had gone in to check this 2nd pos if you remember. The impel had started anchoring pos mods, we almost killed him again but felt really bad. He logged off and TJ is looking at his small pos. It seems fairly new, so TJ locks it up and sure enough it's at 50% shields and the guns aren't shooting him. Now I hadn't found any stront in the orca, and no way he took any in that impel (he even left his fuel). What do we do? Form a pos bash fleet of course and blow up his tower. Poor bastard, he's going to login to an impel and nothing will be there. A good weekend to be sure. Alliance Diplomat, Recruiter**

The best one I have yet heard was when we lived in a C4 (may have been a C5 it was awhile back) with a C3 static, and this fellow was out mining in his hulk. This particular day we had a nul sec system connected to our hole, and apparently someone out there was bored. Because as my friend was afk mining, a carrier come in, warps in on him, kills his hulk, and then wanders off again with nary a word said to the rest of us who were in the next hole doing anoms. lol Was an amusing event to hear about and is the perfect representation of the random **** that happens to my buddy lol.

You wouldn't be talking about anybody I might know would ya? === I've got one embarrassing. We were gas mining in a connected system and I was flying the Orca providing boosts and scooping up the ~~field mice~~cans. We had just cleared a site, and I was sitting at it waiting for someone to provide a nice warp in on one of the clouds in the next site so I wouldn't have to slowboat over there. As it turns out, that was not going to be a problem for me. Some roamers show up and drop some combat probes. Rather than warp between safes playing tag, I panicked and hit the cloak button. Turns out they already knew where I was. I also need more than one hand to count the number of times I have forgotten to bookmark an exit hole and had to scan my way back to start.

QT McWhiskers Hard Knocks Inc. 11	Posted - 2012.06.08 18:47:00 - [179] - Quote Kind of a double fail here. One on my part, and definitely one on the attacker's part. Was living in a c2 static c3 static HS at the time. Because of stain operations, I kind of let my tower go offline. But it wasnt that big of a deal since the tower was emptied out of anything valuable WELL before this incident. So the tower goes offline and my and my CEO are racing to the hole to refuel it and take care of everything inside. On our way, we get the loss mails. SOmeone randoms had found and shot our pos. Oh well. WIn some, lose some. So now we are still coming, albeit much slower this time. I decide to just pull the tower down since I no longer use it, and the only other occupant hadnt logged in in about 4 months. So we get in, start to take the tower down, and then somethign happens in stain. Everyone but me leaves and jump clones back to stain to take care of something that was overplayed. I am in there just putzing around and taking the tower down when out of no where, a nuetral bestower warps into where the pos used to be. The same guy who killed my SMA and CHA. Turns out he logged out in my bestower. I quickly go to the other pos, grab a free harby (crapily fit with t1 beams but what the hell, it will pop a bestower right?). I then warp back fully expecting him to be gone. Not only was he still there, he was looting the cans that were left right in front of me. So I promptly lock him up and shoot him. Takes one shot and he pops. He had over 700m in his cargohold. This would have been an impressive killmail if it wasnt for the fact that it was all my stuff. But anyway, he warps his pod to where the high sec was and jumped out. A convo was started and after just a few seconds of talking to him, he figured out that he was on the wrong overview tab. Turns out he has an overview tab that has everything but ships on it... Well after this was overwith, tower was down, loot was scooped and everything was taken to the high sec to be red frogged to JIta using an orca. So the hole was critical. And I am preparing to collapse it in my geddon navy. So i warp to the hole... and it is no longer there. In its place... Is a raven navy issue belonging to the same corp of the guy I killed. This navy issue quickly melts to my mega pulse lasers with the freshly upgraded conflag crystals. (right after the buff where they made them super powered.) I pop him before his second rep cycle goes off. Because he has no way out, he lets me pod him. (this was before the podmails showed implants) In the conversation with him afterwards, it turns out that he scanned his way into our hole from his HS (same system) saw the anoms we had in hole (our bait for noobs) and figured he would jump in in his CNR and run them. He had no clue that they had killed an SMA or CHA from our hole, no clue I popped my own bestower piloted by one of their members... and never once showed info on our wormhole as he jumped in. I simply had to stare at my computer screen for a little while after reading this. Once it was all over, I found out that he had been living in a wormhole for well over a year... and he just ****** up royaly.

Dorn Val Probe Patrol Project Wildfire 43	Posted - 2012.06.12 06:56:00 - [182] - Quote Karma PVP in W space is kinda like a low sec roam, itGÇÖs either feast or famine. Lately I felt like I was starving to death. It wasnGÇÖt from lack of trying; we were out scanning systems looking for targets, and even putting out some bait. But there just wasnGÇÖt anything biting, and the most action my lasers had seen lately was against Sleepers. So when GÇ£Core scanner probes on Dscan in the C2GÇ¥ was called out over Teamspeak it got me a little excited. We had a K162 into a high sec island, and I had just finished scanning a worm hole owned by a Russian corp that I found in one of the high sec systems, but there were only two members active in the system and they were both hugging the POS shields. Thinking all the action was at home I warped back to our C2. After setting up cloaky scouts on the static high sec, static C4, and the K162 that I had just came through to get back into our C2 we only saw a Proteus on Dscan and he had gone into the C4. Sly said GÇ£Should we wait, or should we go after this guy?GÇ¥. The clock was ticking, and if we waited too much longer weGÇÖd miss our chance to catch him as he jumped back into the C2. Sly and Ikzor had been active in the C2 and hadnGÇÖt seen much in the way of other pilots. Thinking that the Proteus might be a lone scout I decided to warp a Devoter to the C4 static, throw the bubble up, and either get a kill or spring a trap if they had more eyes on us than we could see. The Proteus pilot would be at a disadvantage, because if he jumped back into the C4 too soon heGÇÖd have a timer and wouldnGÇÖt be able to jump back. As or luck would have it we got him into about 1/3 armor in less than four minutes and he jumped. As soon as my Devoter materialized in the C4 I broke cloak and activated the bubble, but couldnGÇÖt lock the Proteus pilot before he cloaked up. Ikzor and Sly tried to decloak him but it was no use GÇôweGÇÖd lost him. We sat on the worm hole in the C4 for so long that when I heard it activate I thought it was the Proteus so I jumped after him. It was a Proteus that came through that worm hole, but it was another pilot from the same corp who had jumped from our C2 into the C4. What I saw on the other side, in our C2, made me slam the panic button GÇ£Two Gaurdians on this side guys, bail out now!GÇ¥. Sly echoed my sentiments, jumped through and cloaked. Ikzor also jumped, but his Hyperion couldnGÇÖt align fast enough and his warp drive was scrammed by the pilots that followed us back to the C2. At about this same time more Probe Patrol members where logging in, but it was too late to save IkzorGÇÖs ship. Probe Patrol 0, Enemy 1 After things had settled down, and we had a chance to explain what had happened, the after action appraisal of our efforts was almost brutal. Sure, we made some mistakes (like not scanning the C2 for new signatures), but there really wasnGÇÖt much time to make a decision, and if you spend all your time sitting in the POS shields then your skill points are pretty much wasted. I felt sorry for Ikzor, but not about engaging that Proteus, and at that point we had more pressing matters to attend to; their where hostile pilots in our C2 and we needed some paybackGÇª After Turbo found the K162 that the GÇ£enemyGÇ¥ fleet had come through 2Pac cloaked inside their C5 system, found their POS, and reported that the members of Ministry of Inappropriate Footwork were shipping up to battleships. We thought they might attempt to collapse the K162 that connected our two systems, so we got ready. As the enemy fleet warped to the worm hole we warped to it as well and jumped. Hind site being what it is I think we really caught them off guard GÇôthey didnGÇÖt expect us to jump on top of them and they quickly lost a Devoter followed by an Abaddon. A few of the enemy ships had jumped through the worm hole into our C2 and Kip was taking heavy damage, so I jumped back to assist (another ship jumped as well, but in the confusion I canGÇÖt tell you who was in it) and the worm hole shrank. A minute or so later some other ship(s) jumped through and the worm hole went critical. You could almost smell the panic. 2Pac gave the order for everyone to jump out, and I saw the worm hole activate, but with the number of enemy ships that were fitted with cloaking devices I canGÇÖt tell you who jumped and from which side. What I can tell you is that the worm hole collapsed with most of our fleet on the wrong side. At about the same time someone called out on coms GÇ£Get out of there guys! ThereGÇÖs a massive fleet in the high sec K162 system!GÇ¥. The enemy had scouted out our entire C2 and had brought another fleet hoping to come in a GÇ£back doorGÇ¥ and ambush us. Everyone who was in the C2 at the site of what use to be a worm hole bailed, but I was scrammed by the battleship I had engaged. I brought up my planets tab, hoping to warp my POD out when the inevitable happened, when suddenly I found myself jammed. The battleship that had my warp drive scrammed cloaked, breaking his lock and warp scrambler. I entered warp just as two enemy Proteuses were landing on grid. Probe Patrol 2, Enemy 0, but with five in the enemyGÇÖs C5. At this point youGÇÖd expect the story to end with someone in the trapped C5 fleet launching probes, finding a worm hole out of the system, and either fleeing or having an epic battle while trying to escape. If anyone else was telling the story thatGÇÖs probably how it would go, but there was one little problem and itGÇÖs the reason for this postGÇÖs title: No one in the trapped fleet had a probe launcher. After negotiating with the GÇ£enemyGÇ¥ they gave us a route out of W space and into high sec. I wonGÇÖt tell you what it cost us; some things need to be kept confidential. But a GÇ£ransomGÇ¥ was paid, and honored, and we got the fleet home; although with a little less dignity than when it first jumped into battle.

Le'Mon Tichim Ganked And T Bagged 16	Posted - 2012.06.12 20:09:00 - [186] - Quote Last night my corp was busy making high sec runs and preparing for a serious site running op, when one of the guys tells us there's a Cheetah and Anathema in our home hole, dropping core and combat probes. Those of us outside scrambled to get home, as we were also in the process of coordinating a collapse of our static. Cutting through the long boring part, which involves scanning down the new C4, and looking up the offending corps info, we discover that there's only one POS up and running, with a three man corp holding it. We finally get eyes on it, and we discover it's a True Sansha Medium, with nothing, absolutely nothing but a jetcan inside. At this point, the three guys had already logged, and we decided that, instead of sites, we were going to ruin this corps day, maybe get a ransom for the POS. We set up logistics for the ammo users, and roll in two Armageddon's, a Machariel, and at any given point four or five bombers, and start the long push. We see nothing until about 27%, when the Cheetah pilot logs on again, and conversations go up, and we announce we'll take 1bil for the pos, and leave. We are then informed the tower is fully fueled. Shields at 26%. We naturally assume he's lying, because who leaves a 750mil tower up without anything to defend it? Shields hit 25%, and nothing happens. We theorize it won't reinforce until it physically hits 25%, and we continue trying to get the ransom. He offers up 400mil, 200 now, and 200 when we leave. Our FC responds, naturally, 400 now, or the pos dies. The shields drop to 24%. We're all amused, and just a bit excited because it's a shiny tower, and the Cheetah promptly logs. As far as pos bashing goes, I guess this is where it gets good. A Tengu shows up on scan, uncloaked, and belongs to someone in an unrelated corp, and an unrelated alliance. Or so we thought. During the process of bashing the shields, we failed to notice the corp info change, and they are now part of the same alliance this Tengu belongs to. The pilot also begins chatting with one of our pilots, the exact words I'm not sure. I believe he congratulated us on finding his tower. The exact numbers get fuzzy at this point, but I believe the shields are at around 12-13% now. The Tengu pilot starts talking trash, about how a 750mil tower means nothing to him in terms of isk. The conversation fizzles out for another 45 minutes or so, until we're chewing through the armor, and he warps into the bubble. We've also failed to notice that the jetcan is gone, which led several of us to jokingly question why we're even doing this. The can, after all, was what sparked our curiosity... The Tengu pilot begins a lame game of "poke my head out of the shields long enough to fire two volleys at a bomber," which the first two times barely even annoyed them. We manage to lock him both times, and drop him to about 20% shields, when he warps off, followed by the Cheetah. Under 50%. During this process, we send two of our bombers off to reship into fast tackle and something capable of holding him down so the battleships can get in range and take him out. A juicy Tengu killmail would also be nice, right? Ten minutes later, the Tengu lands on the "back" side of the pos, outside the shield, ten kilometers off our fast tackle bomber pilot. The Tengu has no idea what we've planned, because the battleships haven't started moving. It was at this point that the pilot targeted one of our bombers who was semi-afk, and popped his Hound. Our pilot got his pod out, and the guy started gloating about the kill, and then our bomber pounced. Four seconds later, our Proteus pilot lands on top of him, and starts bumping him away from the shields while webbing him to hell and back. Unfortunately, the Machariel on grid was artie fit, and the Tornado was also in falloff, so before the two 'geddons aligned to come back to him, he was already dead. He congratulated us on grabbing a pinata, and then was sent on a one way ticket back to high. When we saw the killmail, we all groaned. A Pith C Medium Shield Booster was the true loss, but we did get almost 500mil in faction mods to drop, and a Tengu sub in his cargo as well. TL;DR? We bashed a failpos, and killed a 1.5bil Tengu because he was an idiot. Rule 1: If you see a bunch of Tengu on dscan, you've got ten seconds to get out.Rule 2: If you see a Proteus on dscan, it's too late.

We just finished sites, rolled static and were scanning down out the new static when we noticed a tengu and 4 ravens on Dscan. These guys are "security" for a pos that is being onlined. So we form up our fleet on the static, get three arazus inside and in range to tackle the whole lot of them. I called for arazus to decloak and fleet to work to the arazu that was closest to enemy fleet. (This was before corp bookmarks) We warp in, burn to target and burn them all down. Even got one of the pods seeing as how there wasnt a bubble. Once it was all over, I noticed the pos was onlining. So for fun I called for everyone to approach the pos and start shooting it. So we did. We shoot it for a good 15 minutes. When the pos came online, we had our nice WEEEEEEEEEE moment as our ships got rocketed at about 15k/s.

A minute or so later some other ship(s) jumped through and the worm hole went critical. This is where it all went wrong for us, but not in the manner you describe :) We had eyes on your POS the whole time and saw many new logins and reships since the first fight. A fleet was raised in kspace and they burnt the 20 or so jumps to the highsec island your K162/R943 conncted to in record time despite the intervening lowsec. A member of the fleet probed the entrance and confirmed he had it by saying on comms "Yep, and there's a member of probe patrol sitting on the highsec side, it's the right WH". The plan was simple, those of us in the c5 would give you an eye full of juicy juicy battleships; which would very obviously align to the connecting wormhole before warping, so your tengu scout couldn't miss what they were doing. We would warp to the wormhole, which would precipitate your gang (3 guardians, abso, megathron, scorp, 2 x proteus, 1 x loki + other stuff I can't remember) warping to your side; at this point I would jump my devoter into your C2 providing a warp in for the gang entering from highsec and once they were in warp; bubble up leaving your gang no escape route. Once your gang landed on the connector, I took a deep breath and jumped and told the fleet in highsec to jump in & warp to me. "We can't" "It says you're not in system!" "Whose the warp to? I can't warp to the watchlisted person" With those words echoing in my head I knew I was fked to put it bluntly . The rest is as you tell it in your BR. We jumped the baddons in to mass the wormhole trying to hold as long as possible as the fleet in highsec probed the right wormhole and warped to it. As it turns out, by the time they got to the correct wormhole and jumped in, one of the two baddons and my devoter were already dead. The last baddon jumped back into your C2 in deep structure to provide them a warp in. Obviously your gang started scattering as soon as you heard of the incoming gang, so the hero baddon tried to hold your absolution as long as possible whilst aligned and using ecm drones, at under 25% structure it had to warp though and your abso was only just able to leave the grid before the first of our re-inforcement gang landed. We most definitely do not fit cloaks to our baddons. Dorn Val wrote:** I wonGÇÖt tell you what it cost us; some things need to be kept confidential.

He left 3 industrials called "FREE" though. I'm chilling inside to see if he plans to take apart another of his POSes and notice a buzzard on d-scan in empty space that pops out probes and begins to scan down the HS. I grab the name when he jumps out and watch where he warps to when he jumps back inside. I quickly scan down the sig and setup close to the WH hoping for a juicy orca/hauler heading to HS. After a few minutes pass I hear a jump and a pod appears. Ok not that odd, might be testing the waters or something... Second jump and another pod... I sigh to myself figuring they'll be bringing ships back and then dscan lights up with "FREE". Sure enough these 2 guys decided to grab the free T1 haulers. One lands at the hole and jumps with me following closely behind. Pop and pod him on the other side. About 10 seconds after that the second one jumps over and loses his "FREE" hauler but is quick enough to warp off his pod. So they tried to pickup about 2 million ISK of free haulers and lost around 100 million ISK in implants.

My nerves where high when i looked at dscan and there was a tornado and manticore, 1 POS and no field. I assumed a tower bash had started and went to investigate figuring my proteus could get some pew pew, upon finding no pilots in the two ships and free loots hanging in the sky i scrambled what i could to begin hauling. I shot the CH and SMA and out dropped an Orca, damn i already had my Orca toon on the way in a T1 indy so he docked and podded along the rest of the way. All in all i got billions in free loot, 1 Orca, 1 Noctis, assorted BC's and T1 indies. My Fail, instead of scrambling corp mates to get free ships i couldn't fly i shot them up in fear that locals or visitors would come to play with me, and i was hoping they would provide KM's..... They did not.

Who cares, as long as i have the FF pass (you see where this is going) its nemas problemas, right....... unless you log off in the POS ofcourse. Next day I log back in and surely bounce off the shields in my Bestower while POS alphas me at some 150 km. 2. We are taking turns bombing grouped POS mods. Its costing much more than its worth but its almost down time, we are bored and apparently inhabitants are japaneese who dont speak english so its all for good fun. I even think there was this well thought-through idea of a ransom. Sometime half way through the shields one of residents decides to put his foot down and warps out in his Manti. Now im sitting some 200 km off the POS waiting for my turn when hirohito uncloaks and without any reason at all blows him self up in his own bombing run. We all scared shitless pack up and leave.

Mr Bigwinky 4U Services Inc. Talocan United 256	Posted - 2012.06.18 10:24:00 - [220] - Quote Battle-report for story below So I'm in an ex-Narwhals (now Surely You're Joking) wormhole, warping about POSes, shooting at them with my bomber. I know this will provide lots of mails and hopefully provoke a fight from some well-known adversaries. (It actually provided some hatemails from a Pandora Sphere director, who thought I was someone else which was pretty funny) I see some ships warping about (T3s, Sabre, Daredevil etc.) but noone is looking at wormholes. Anyway, as I shoot a tower, the DD lands 160km from me, 250km from his POS, I poke at him a little in local about how he was so close to me. A Sabre lands in the POS and I assume some attempt on my bomber is going to be made. I make a joke in local when I see both of them warp off to planet 12, moon 5 like "Hey guys, what's at 12-5? NVM, I'm on my way over". - I didn't actually warp because I figured the sabre would throw up a bubble with the DD on the outside. I make a bounce and land on the POS. OH SHT. Their forcefield was down (with ~20 minutes until online). There is currently a Loki, DD, Sabre, Tengu and something else I don't remember protecting it. I make a call to bring a BC / Logi fleet, with the intention of fighting the T3s. Well the WH is a few jumps accross so we move together as a fleet. As we all land on the entrance to the SYJ wormhole, we're about to jump when an ORCA appears on the hole next to it (awesome fit BTW, love what you did with the shield & armor tank). I call for the point and he jumps, we jump with and land on the other side with him. Sabre is on the hole and dies before most of the fleet can lock him. An Abaddon then appears (must have held his cloak on the WH), gets pointed and shot down, shortly followed by the Orca. During the fight, I send one of our ships to their POS (which had the Loki still on it). The Loki warps off before my guy lands and we've cleared the wrecks of loot at the WH, so move to the POS. We land at the exact same time (and in the same place) as the daredevil. He speeds away and is in structure about 50km away when my warrior IIs catch him one last time and he pops. We blow up the SMA and CH, receiving only a Scorpion, Mastodon and various POS mods. TL;DR - We poked at T3s for a fight, ended up killing an Orca on a WH and finding a tower with its FF down.

We took down another pos last night, this time with a full compliment of guns, which we were prepared to deal with first. Except, the never targeted us. They were all online, but not once did they fire at us. So we systematically incapped them, and then shredded the pos. Walked away with two Drakes, a Naga, half a dozen shuttles, an Osprey, a mining fit Apoc, and an Iteron that contained two customs offices. That, on top of the loot we liberated from their anchored can, which totalled close to 100mil I believe. Impromptu Asset Requisition at it's finest.

QT McWhiskers Hard Knocks Inc. 15	Posted - 2012.06.28 07:41:00 - [244] - Quote Then how about we reminisce about some older fails. About 2 years ago my corp discovers a VERY juicy pos inside of a c3 wormhole with little defenses and very few people active inside. (A weeks worth of scouting revealed that only 4 people were inside the hole and active) We moved in and started to hit the pos. The guns were improperly set up and for the first hour, nothing was shooting us. So we decided to take a chance and just shoot the pos, ignore the defenses since it clearly wasnt firing at us. While shooting the pos and setting up our bubbles, a pod warps intot he pos and quickly jumps into an orca. He starts gathering up everything into his orca and is about to warp out when our bubble came online and trapped him into the pos. It was at this point that the guy realized he derped his pos setup and reconfigured the guns to shoot us. We lost one raven before we were able to reform into a tight little RR BS ball. We then take out all of the guns and go back to the pos. Fast forward a few days to when the pos is coming out of reinforce. During the reinforcement timer we had fought off a few fleets trying to take advantage of our "inactivity" and try and sneak in a fleet of their own. Except we never left the hole and just remained on batphone until the time came. So the time was almost upon us. The c3 had a static HS, which we crit, then miraculously put 6 BCs through coming inside without it popping when the timer finally ran out. We finished off the tower and collected the goods, well most of the goods... some of the modules remained online even after the tower was destroyed. (logs show nothing) Now before you all start jumping at me saying there wasnt any fail involved here, take a look at the screenshots I provided in the bottom of this post. These guys had THAT pos with no defenses inside a c3 with only 4 people who could possibly defend . http://imgur.com/rhhEr,fWGOd,TndoY,7gY3f,3cCsg,FDHiL,9dV0H,snFcC,th6cl,RwpF7,f4QEK,okCeB

Trinkets friend Sudden Buggery Dead On Arrival Alliance 399	Posted - 2012.07.01 08:42:00 - [253] - Quote I was reminded recently by one of my members, of when we had a C4 black hole with C2 static, in which we had built a Niddhogur and a Thanny. As an aside here, we sold it including the PI and caps, to some guys via Taggart. Brokerage went through flawlessly, then a month later someone else is hocking it again including the two caps, because he's found the POSs without fuel and stolen them. That by itself was lulsy, but what happened bedore this is much more hilarious. One night, our guy is triple-boxing the Niddy and two domis, with the C2 static critted to hell and back and a covops scout cloaked off it, listening for activations. They've just done, lets say, 8 to 10 sites. He hears a wormhole activation. Not too worried. In comes a shuttle. Then another, and another.

As an aside here, we sold it including the PI and caps, to some guys via Taggart. Brokerage went through flawlessly, then a month later someone else is hocking it again including the two caps, because he's found the POSs without fuel and stolen them. That by itself was lulsy, but what happened bedore this is much more hilarious. One night, our guy is triple-boxing the Niddy and two domis, with the C2 static critted to hell and back and a covops scout cloaked off it, listening for activations. They've just done, lets say, 8 to 10 sites. He hears a wormhole activation. Not too worried. In comes a shuttle. Then another, and another.

JigglyPoof The Jigglys Fade 2 Black 9	Posted - 2012.07.01 14:58:00 - [256] - Quote About a month ago, I was dual boxing a C4 with a pair of RR tengus. I came to one of my radar sites which I thought was the "trinary". Needless to say it was the digital nexus type. I was pounding away not only at the rats but also at some very delicious Liengugels Summer Shandy (If that is how you spell it). Anyways, on the second wave up pops a Sleepless Safeguard. I think to myself no problem since I am invincible! Summer Shandy will do that to. He come screaming at me all the while I am firing at him. He then comes into warp scram range and locks one of my tengus down. I am losing shields pretty quickly and thought that I should warp one tengu out and let the other die. That would have been the sensible thing. I thought to myself that I can still take him down........One tengu goes down, then the other. That was a bad night and an aweful next morning.

Malception Cosmology Deadly Unknown 2	Posted - 2012.07.02 16:11:00 - [257] - Quote In the name of the unknown, the cosmic anomaly and the K162. My last confession was... I've never actually confessed. May my fellow wormholers forgive my sins(but I know you'll only exploit them and that is the only way I will learn my lesson). I have committed the two most dire sins of w-space. I didn't post a watch on the wormhole and I didn't keep my eyes on dscan and... and then... I ran my sites. We lost a Dominix, Nighthawk, two Noctis (nocti?), a Helios and a Chimera to a gang of Prots and some lesser w-space ships. Congratulations on your fat loot, gentlemen. Thankyou for the lesson and I will be seeing each of you sooner or later. -Mal

Kaztro Elko Bail Bonds Quixotic Hegemony 0	Posted - 2012.07.03 05:14:00 - [259] - Quote Talk about stupidityGÇª We were on a WH roam and came across this corp in a C1. We kept pushing his rook out the HS hole so the guy had a bright idea to bring his Nag to the HS hole with a fail fit. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/combat_record.php?type=player&name=Get+Riehl He figured that if he used the ecm he had fitted on his Nag he could not only get his rook in the hole but also get away. So when he warped to the HS at 30k we locked him up and started shooting him. He brought his rook in and warped off. By this time we had the Nag lock webbed and pointed by many ships. He came back in his rook hoping to free his Nag but ended up losing his rook as well. But wait the story gets even better! Within 40 minutes we got a alt accepted to his corp. Within 10 minutes of accepting the alt we had full access to everything. He logged off and we proceeded to take all the ship and pull down both towers they had in the WH. Unfortunately we had to self-destruct the orca and several battleships for the insurance money since it was only a C1. When they logged on the next day the WH was completely empty. They put up another tower and we proceeded to shoot it down. They were just too much fun!

Cadrean PunchLine. The Imperial Senate 1	Posted - 2012.07.10 22:29:00 - [287] - Quote 1. An orca that exited its pos shields numerous times to anchor guns, not online. Needless to say we pounced on it with a couple bombers. 2. I wasn't actually there for this one, but a couple of my guys ran into a corp onlining it's large true Sansa tower. Beside the tower sat a tornado and a bustard, which they stole. But then for some reason a visitor they had cloaked unanchored the tower, and cloaked again. With 3 minutes left to unanchor, they pounced on the tower again, decloaked and killed the viator and a heron, and stole the unanchored true Sansa tower with the stolen bustard. Also the tornado was faction fit. 3. While we were RFing a tower, a local got into his chimera, and warped to planet 1, then back to the top of his tower, where we were sat, outside of the force field. He then proceeded to launch his fighters and begin attacking our 30 man gang. 4. We started scanning our recently opened c3 static. After not long a guy started talking in local about how it was rude to probe down other peoples holes, and sent his scan alt into what he thought was our c2, without scanning find our actual c5. He then began describing to us what was in the c2, and making fun of how the pocos were interbus and that the local corp which he thought was us only had 11 members. He then informed us that there was a highsec hole, and that he loved highsec holes.after telling us anything and everything about the c2, he got into an orca and went to go close the hole. This caught us by surprise but we still managed to catch and kill the orca on its way home. We then informed him that it's possible to have 2 connecting holes.

We warp in a snipe fleet from another wormhole and snipe the Enyo and Caracal, the Domi jumps out. Chillin around the system we find that the POS tower is at 56% shield and just went up so we take our small snipe fleet over there and start shooting. Not 10 minutes later Exhale shows up in the high sec and quickly gets wormhole control. LOST reforms with a comparable fleet and brings a fight. Except that as soon as LOST jumps in, Exhale runs away without firing a shot. Video proof: http://youtu.be/niMKjX_dkbc So why do people still pay these guys?

Let`s change that for a couple of... seconds. I was watching Wormnav in my phone while I was driving back home when I see a little spike in the NPC kill count. Weird couse it was improbable that at that hour my corpmate was running sites since he should be working. So as soon as I arrived home I kicked my two years old son out of the way and run to the pc ignoring his laments and cryings. I logued in my buzzard and luckily I don`t see anyone in DScan so my chances of not have been seen in the log increased. Fine, I warp cloacked to the sun and see a drake in Dscan. I start pinpointing his location not dropping probes and once I have his location I warp to the site at 100km. I see the Drake killing the last BS and he warps off and off Dscan. Soon I see an orca and a catalyst. The catalyst warps and start salvaging the first Wreck. While all of this was going on I log my alt with the same luck as not beeing seen in Dscan. Fleet him and warp to my main at 30. In the meantime I hit the approach button with my main on a wreck to get closer to him. My alt lands and I start slowboat towards him.

Mr Bigwinky 4U Services Inc. Talocan United 265	Posted - 2012.07.13 09:32:00 - [294] - Quote Ok so steering back toward the failblog and away from the exhale. bashing... Had another one fairly recently where I tried for a very long time to harrass and bait these guys (Sk33t Fl33t) out. I did so because we encountered them a couple weeks previous and managed to bait + kill them after them telling us in local that we were no threat. Anyhoo... There is an orca somewhere in system, not in a POS - one of our guys leaves combats out but hidden and waits. Nearly an hour later it pops up, he gets it and warps to it. It disappears off of d-scan again. As he lands he uncloaks and knocks the orca off of cloak. The loki points and shoots the orca who then proceeds to warp off (stabbed). Sk33t Fl33t probably used this as bait as after a short amount of time, their fleet lands where the orca was and a fight ensues. Battle report for the fight - Keep in mind that it doesn't show the logi and ECM on their side that didn't make a kill / lossmail. Our scout on their POS tells us that the Orca has landed at the POS but not in the shields... oh and now the tower is shooting at it. It dies before our battle is over, just another sad case of "what was the password again" I suppose. Orca Loss here (bugged, but API verified) Welcome to EVE online, here's your rubix cube, go F*** yourself GÖÑ

advii Kossu and Keppana Inc. 2	Posted - 2012.07.18 10:21:00 - [331] - Quote 1. One time our scout had just entered our fresh static C3 and reported a legion on scanner, he had been doing anomalies but noticed our scout in d-scan and warped to his pos. Our scout then began chatting with the legion pilot and convinced him to come do sites with our scout, who went back to our pos to change to a drake. At this point we thought it might be a bait but we had a pretty sizeable force for a C3 group to tackle. But no. As soon as our drake landed on the site, the legion appeared there too and started shooting sleepers. Needless to say our scout could barely tackle him as we were all laughing our asses off. 2. Once I was scouting our static C3 and was just looking at an online pos where there were 2 online domis chilling. For some reason they slowboated outside of the shields and started shooting each other, only to both get popped by the tower guns seconds later. Well, happens, I thought. But couple of minutes later they both boarded new domis and did the same thing again. Biggest WTF moment so far. 3. I was once again scouting our static and saw nothing but a Loki at a pos. We hadn't killed anything that night yet so I wanted to try everything. I found the pos and noticed the Loki pilot was online. Sent him a fleet invite, never expecting him to be stupid enough to actually accept it. But behold! The Loki turned purple on the overview and immediately I initiated a squad warp to the sun. I would've paid any amount of isk to see his face when I uncloak my tackler legion in the same warp tunnel with him. Seconds later we land at the sun, I tackle his ass and my fleet comes in to perform bukkake on it. 4. Just a couple of weeks ago, rolling our c3 static again, I found a domi, moros and an archon at a pos in dscan. Then I noticed there is no force field. I warped to them and to my amazement found they were just chilling next to the offline tower and the archon had no pilot in it. I get close to the Archon and we warp our archon pilot in a t1 frig to me. We successfully steal the Archon. While all that was happening and most of our guys still logging in etc. the Moros warps away. I was in a tackle Tengu and the rest of us were armor with Guardians too, so I was a little afraid to uncloak. Looking back at that I would've been in no danger whatsoever. (Domi might have had some neuts and drone dmg, but thats about it. Also hadn't scouted their pos yet) Facedesked pretty hard after letting the Moros go. The Archon had remotereps fitted so we brought as little dps as we could to bait them maybe to bring the moros back. They brought some small **** and another domi and we cleaned them up, stripped the carrier from modules and self-destructed it. Here's the epic battle report: http://kossu.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=13859733 And this is how you tackle bombers with an Archon: http://kossu.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13859737 (it had scram fitted v0v)

It included a Tengu and Cheetah who logged into the pos whilst we were looting everything Was a few months back, and I was actually writing the post whilst looting so the writing style is all over the place. It's not exactly an epic tail of stupidity, but we made a few billion from it so I'm not too bothered. Blog - Through Newb Eyes Twitter - TG_3

A very good fight indeed. Our comms toward the end of that fight consisted of "Stop the Rokh!" "You can't stop the Rokh!" Indeed, we could not stop the Rokh, which is our fail in that fight I suppose.
QT McWhiskers Hard Knocks Inc. 21	Posted - 2012.07.18 12:34:00 - [335] - Quote A while back I was scouting out static at around 5 in the am central time. No one was on, and I needed to make some money as it was time to plex again. I find myself a vital and figure it is going to be good money since all 6000 of the stuff would go to me. Also the money from this would likely pay for one of the plex and a good chunk of the other. I had started to get setup to take care of the sleepers using a super secret method, when I had to go afk because of some RL issues I had to take care of. (lactose intollerant) I came back, get in my gassing ships an almost warp to static. But I decided to go scout it out again, seeing as how I had just went afk for about two hours, and what do you know, someone is running my vital. I see on Dscan 4 gassing ships, a nice little swarm of hobgoblin 1s, and two cans conviently named c540 and c320. It is now 7 am. No one is online that is actually not being afk. I start to run over the scenarios in my head. I could use a bomber, but likely wont pop him and will probably want the gas. (I really wanted my gas) I ran through a few others as well when all of a sudden, it hit me. I get my bustard ready and warp my anathema off to the outer planet and pop combats. I put them on the bookmark for the site, but dont hit scan yet. I warp to the site at 100 and bookmark the cans. I wait a few minutes for hte bookmarks to appear in corp bookmarks, then hit the scan button for my combats. My combats appear on dscan, and then these guys immediately start to warp out. Once they are gone, I warp my bustard to the 320 can, grab it, warp him to a 400k tacticle, then back to the two 540 cans. (Apparently they needed a second.) I warp the bustard back in grab as much 540 as I can when a rapier decloaks and points my bustard with only 1 point, and then is kind enough to web him down. My bustard gets out and back into home. I deposite the gas and decide to get greedy. I put my main in a noctis and warp to the can 50k off. I tractor in the can and my bustard lands on my position as two arazus decloak and start to burn towards me. I pull the gas and then warp both ships out. TL:DL Saw gassers running vital in static. Used combats to scare them off. Scooped most of the loot. Got greedy came back and scooped rest. Profit.

jonnykefka Adhocracy Incorporated Adhocracy 93	Posted - 2012.07.18 14:00:00 - [337] - Quote I jumped into a WH the other day and saw a couple of battlecruisers on scan, no POS. Naturally I'm thrilled, but they're not an an anom, so I figure they must be in a gas site or something. I find somewhere to drop probes, spend a while d-scanning them out, and finally scan them down. It takes me two tries to get a hit, but these things happen. It's only when we land on-grid that I realize they were at an interbus POCO the entire f**king time and I could have just warped to them from my goddamn overview.

Anyway, not long after coming back, one of our guys camping the static reports a Helios comes into system, and warps off to a planet. Naturally, with nothing else better to do, he follows. He then reports over comms "pilot's jumped into his pod." Wtf? He doesn't quite know what to make of it, so he starts burning toward him, only to see him disappear. It takes him a few seconds to register the corpse on his overview. Apparently, some idiot from Intrepid Crossing came into our system, warped to a planet, ejected from his ship, and self-destructed his pod for no apparent reason.

Nirnias Stirrum Insidious Design 264	Posted - 2012.08.03 15:51:00 - [353] - Quote Three things funny interesting happened in last 2 weeks with the corp im in, we live in a C5, in our static we came across another corp (gunna leave out names, though can easily find out by checking KB) running sites, they had a decent fleet and so did we so they fight was good, but we had logi and they didnt so we eventually killed them all easily, most of them managed to avoid getting podded, and came back with more ships to which we killed. They joined our public channel saying gf and what not and 1 guy said "you destroyed all my ships and i dont have enough to replace them :(" Fast forward an hour or 2 were just chilling looking for some fights, our scout on another WH starts shouting about an orca jumped jumped through, we head his way, scout uncloaks making the orca panic and jump back through the WH polarizing himself, we arrive and get him into deep structure, he ejects and warps away, i jump in his orca, scoop my loki and bring the orca back to home system to sell later. Turns out the orca pilot was the same guy that joined our public channel and complained he didnt have enough isk to replace his losses. I lol'd hard :D Second thing was just the other day, scout finds orca on scan towards our WH obviously trying to collapse the WH or something, as he lands the orca vanishes (assuming it jumped back through), we all jump into cloaky ships and warp to 10 of WH waiting for him to come back, got impatient and sent a scout through, no sign of him. Just as we were giving up a tengu jumps through, we melt the tengu. Scout says another tengu, loki and proteus are landing other side of hole, we begin to jump through, i was 10km off hole so kept cloak and slow boated to hole, SUDDENLY ORCA DECLOAKS! Im like ZOMG its still here ill get point , (suddenly realize in my haste i grabbed the wrong ship and it didnt have a point) on it so here i am bumping the orca to prevent it warping lol. Orca jumps through the hole (by this stage he knew he was dead). We had sent a bubbler in also and he had set up other side to grab their pods. Melted the Orca, the the loki and another 2 tengus. Some very expensively fit, got a few of their pods including their corp leader who had a full slave set valued at 3.4bisk. So they sent all these expensive ships and pods to save an 800misk orca and ended up loosing about 9bisk with ships, fittings and pods in total.. It was a good day :D Last thing was we probed out a null sec exit and went looking for pew, lovely Nyx on scan nom. Eventually the locals ( i think they were goons but i cant remember rightly) put up a fleet, warped to our WH (at 0, i dont know why), this particular fleet we had about 15-20 people, armor T3's mostly and some logi. They had the same amount of people with tengus and assortment of other ships. We annihilated them, they all reshipped and came back, we annihilated them AGAIN! They reshipped and came back a THIRD TIME which we promptly destroyed again, by this time it was getting late and i went home and logged off but i found out the next day a 4th engagement happened to which we won again lol. We either took no losses ourselves or very little losses, cant rightly remember off the top of my head.

Scout reports an Orca and Dreadnought on our statics K162. Dread jumps in and back out, warps off. Orca jumps in and the hole collapses. What I think was a smart move was he cloaked not too long after the hole died, we thought for a second that it collapsed from him jumping back through, but that didn't make much sense , So I approach him, he decloaks, then we tackle him and bring him into structure. Somewhere in the mix, he initiated the SD sequence, which none of us even noticed the message for. Big surprise he ejects and warps off. Since we didn't see the SD message, we were just holding the orca until a pilot showed to scoop, but as the pilot landed the Orca goes pop. Damn, thought they were giving us a free Orca. Shortly after the Orca blew up, we notice a corpse on scan. Okay, so he podded himself, saved us the trouble of hunting him. I see a little irony in this, but moving on to the next.... 2) The Dread they used to roll was stabbed!! Yes, WCS.. on a Dread. We were hoping that a GF was afoot, but instead, we got lulz. Which is fine for now I guess..Thanks guys! o7

Scout reports an Orca and Dreadnought on our statics K162. Dread jumps in and back out, warps off. Orca jumps in and the hole collapses. What I think was a smart move was he cloaked not too long after the hole died, we thought for a second that it collapsed from him jumping back through, but that didn't make much sense , So I approach him, he decloaks, then we tackle him and bring him into structure. Somewhere in the mix, he initiated the SD sequence, which none of us even noticed the message for. Big surprise he ejects and warps off. Since we didn't see the SD message, we were just holding the orca until a pilot showed to scoop, but as the pilot landed the Orca goes pop. Damn, thought they were giving us a free Orca. Shortly after the Orca blew up, we notice a corpse on scan. Okay, so he podded himself, saved us the trouble of hunting him. I see a little irony in this, but moving on to the next.... 2) The Dread they used to roll was stabbed!! Yes, WCS.. on a Dread. We were hoping that a GF was afoot, but instead, we got lulz. Which is fine for now I guess..Thanks guys! o7 You sound butthurt and mad to me. I can see the tears on this post. Lol, ok? Reaching?

One guy posting on an alt doesn't mean he is from LOST. Anyone in TL will post from their mains, without question. Also, if Lenex says that is how it went down, that is how it went down. He has no reason to lie. He also has more than enough isk to replace a Moros many times over. If you catch one of us and pop us, kudos to you. We kill more people in wh space than any other corp/alliance in game. We also lose more ships than anyone else in wh space. This means I can promise you no one TL cares about losing a ship.

It only takes a couple of clicks to find out 'Immaterial and Missing Power' was founded by someone that is now in TL. No idea why they are trying to save face by posting up dribble, a post was mocked up to make us look mad for missing out on a Moros kill that we never had, it was tackled by a lone Cheetah for giggles and then looked to have warped off by the aid of warp core stabs (later cleared up). I have no doubt you can replace a lot of ships, such is the nature of alliances in high end WH space. Replacing ships is not what we were talking about though, talking about the orca/moros combo failing to close a WH collection is what the post was about. I believe this has been taken out of context because one side of the story was given, the other side of the story was then given. Then subjects got switched around by people that either A. Were not there. B. Have no clue, or C. Both A & B combined. At least you're posting on your main

Anyone suggesting you guys are bad because of that have never tried to shoot anyone. And it's funny you mention having the Moros pointed and how he warped off. The same thing happened to us. We went to gank some caps in an anom, and he apparently entered warp on the way to escalate the site. He landed and we pointed him, only to have him take off. It was very confusing.

I'm sure by now my corps scorched earth policy has made the rounds, and a certain corp will be along shortly to tell you all about it. Last night while chilling in an alternate teamspeak (because our corp ceo is an incompetent null dweller), those of us that had things still in the hole were discussing how long we wanted to hold on to our orcas, and how to go about restructuring. A buddy is scanning our our hole, find our static bubbled, and then finds a c2 that wasn't there earlier. He locks it in, an warps to it. Nothing is on the hole, that we can see. Two guys check the watch lists to see who is on, while the scanner hops into the c2 to scan it out, all the while saying "This is so totally a trap." And we were inclined to believe him. You wouldn't leave a wormhole ungaurded on either side, let alone the high sec exit we found. No wt's in local either. Scanner warps away to buy a Blackbird to augment our two Falcons. Priority: Throw ourselves at any war target and make sure the Orcas get away. Now, this is when we switch, for a moment, entirely to what I was flying. A Harbinger. The thing is, for whatever reason, five of my guns were offline, along with my capbooster, and we didn't want to risk logging combat ship on, lest we alert the horde. So I went into the first engagement with two guns and drones. Scanner, who has now come back to the c2 side of the exit, tells us to log in, Orcas and all. And we do. Our Tempest, who was logged in first, is already in warp to the hole, followed closely by a falcon, one was already sitting at the hole. My Harby lands, I jump through followed by the Falcons, when we hear the most beautiful sound in the world: "THE ORCAS ARE IN WARP." We get set up, preparing to web them off for faster escape, when the first one lands. Disaster strikes. "Loki and Proteus just decloaked! Manticore, Buzzard too." I'm not entirely sure what happend, but I'd like to know from the enemies POV. The first Orca jumped, decloaked and was webbed off before the enemy decloaked on the c2 side. The Falcons and Blackbird go into overdrive while the Tempest and my Harbinger try to pick off the frigates. Did I mention one Falcon was fit soley for Minmatar? Said pilot almost laughed when he crossjammed the Proteus with a minnie jammer. It was in the middle of this engagement that the second Orca landed and jumped. Here we are fighting and then we have to divert to get the Orca off, which went down flawlessly. It's at this point the enemy decided they can't take us with that much ECM, and jump back through. We all break off to make sure the fat men get docked up in high, and I dock to online my modules. Hammer II is back in business. During this time, another pilot who hadn't made it out (caught in a bubble with both his toons) has burned his Navy Scorpion out of said bubble, and is prepared to warp to the hole. At this point, we've lost the Tempest because he had to log off (real life is sometimes inconvenient, right?) so we've got a Blackbird and one Falcon because the other Falcon is piloting the Tempest. The original pilot has terribad sec status. "I just landed on the hole, they're following me." Same fleetcomp, sans the Proteus. We get off to a rough start, mostly because I'm still in warp, and the Blackbird took a bit to get the jams up. Falcon lands a good cycle as I land, and start tearing into the Loki. The Scorpion gets out, and they once again jump back through. Said Scorpion pilot then logs his main, in a Tengu, and starts burning towards the edge of the bubble. We're not prepared for this, as we're making sure the Scorpion gets docked up. Unfortunately, they find him, and lay into him. We're prepared to warp to him as soon as he gets in fleet, but we discover the squad is full, and by the time we do anything about it, he's into armor, and he tells us to leave. He got what he wanted out, the Tengu isn't that important to him. So we bail. It's a setback, but with the Orca's out, which were filled we shinies that would have otherwise set us back about oh... twenty billion, we decided it wasn't so bad to loose a Tengu. The pilot even agreed. We were of course trolled in local, about finally doing something, and being thanked for the entertainment. I'd like to know, did you actually have the high sec scanned out? Because we dicked around in local for about ten minutes before your Helios popped out. A certain somebody thought it was hilarious it took you that long to find it.

The pilot even agreed. We were of course trolled in local, about finally doing something, and being thanked for the entertainment. I'd like to know, did you actually have the high sec scanned out? Because we dicked around in local for about ten minutes before your Helios popped out. A certain somebody thought it was hilarious it took you that long to find it. He had time to go buy booze and bring it back to us. Tl;dr: We GTFO'd and thought we were going to die in a fire, but ended up having the most fun any of us have ever had in this game. . actually we had about 35 bil, you forgot all the sleeper loot packed in the badger II Must've missed the Badger II when I was shooting at the Manticore with two guns. Your welcome, Maybe next time you can fight us instead of self destructing all your ships that wouldn't fit in the orcas, K? http://i.imgur.com/GYvLk.jpg Ask me about Rengas-dar, HRDKX's Most recent, groundbreaking, game-changing, wormhole-collapsing research endeavour.

QT McWhiskers Hard Knocks Inc. 21	Posted - 2012.08.10 08:58:00 - [388] - Quote These were blown up before we even started thinking about shooting the pos. We were still working on the guns of the OTHER pos they had in system when they blowed up these shinies. They could have tried a break out with these ships, they could have attempted SOMETHING, but nope they simply gave up the instant they saw the 25ish BS and 5 guardians at their other pos. The "fight" over the system went something like this. We put up a tower over the course of two hours under heavy battleship guard... And they never knew we were there. We waiting till right after downtime and warped to their pos and started to attack it. The guy inside of the pos didnt know we were there for at least 15 minutes as no one was getting kind of concentrated fire from the guns or jams until about 15 min in. We start to take out the outer modules one by one, working from grouping to grouping. After we killed a large, someone woke up and started onlining everything that was offline. (I guess they had a lot of extra cpu and powergrip available by then.) It was then that we started noticing permajams on our guards and neuts never switching off of our geddons. When the geddons switched to scorch to hit a neut that was playing major havoc on the chain, all jams switched to our geddons. We knew they had a pos gunner at this point in time. Since he was doing nothing but delaying us from our objective, I figured they were stalling for their batphones to finally start working. It was about this time that four bombers decloaked and made a bombing run on our battleships. About everyone was taken down to about 80 percent armor. This was the part that had me worried. If they would have brought in 6 bombers, and used several runs on us, they would have worn us down. It was at this moment that I got a little worried because we saw a semi medium number of people log in on the enemy side. It was then that our scout at the other pos reported several ships jetisoned from the hanger. When we saw the Nightmare initiate self destruct in his fully armed and unbubbled pos, we knew that at that moment, we could turn on youtube and do the occasional tab over d scan maneuver to make sure that no random competent WH entities could run up behind us with a giant pole. Because these guys had given up. They could have tried to make it out, especially with some of the ships they had in there. The pilgrims especially. What could our single scout in his cloaky loki done? Burned to you to force a decloak and then get neuted out by you as you made it to safety? I can guarantee you that this maneuver would have pulled ALL of our battleships off of that pos and gave you guys time to form up a defense. Especially if you decided to try and bait us by staying and fighting the loki. But you guys did none of this. You simply gave up when you saw our numbers, and then wasted all of that isk when you could have EASILY made several escape attempts. Remember, the pos where everything was SDed at was UNBUBBLED. There were several options open to you, but you simply gave up. Btw... most of our battleships were range fit with no points on our ships. So even if we showed up at the hole, you could have still made it out. The big breakout that was the start of this topic only happened because most of our members were out of your hole (i had made it out of the hole and was working my way back to a low sec in our home hole) or logged off. We left a token force inside because we were trying to get some orca kills. The unbubbled c2 was a trap and yes we were prepared for your orcas... just not the numbers you had ready to go. We were expecting maybe 5 or 6 of you. The amount of jams you had also killed any chance of us killing anything you had. The breakout proved you were somewhat competent. If you had used this level of thought on your wormhole defense, you could have at least given us a run for our money, if not driven us off for the moment as we reshipped to deal with you. Instead we have this, somewhat inaccurate, list of ships that you guys self destructed. TL:DR You turtled up WAY too early and self destructed ships that didnt need self destructing yet, then made a successful breakout against a token force. Then bragged about it. Good job.

If you had used this level of thought on your wormhole defense, you could have at least given us a run for our money, if not driven us off for the moment as we reshipped to deal with you. Actually the thing is we had an idea planned out the only problem was well lack of people, i mean of the 10-12 people logged on only 6 toons could really fly anything worth bringing into a fight with and of those Two people left due to family emergencies, one had kids to take care of, another logged when he determined that hey theres only three of us online. thereby leaving us with two whole toons capable of fighting, trust me we had every intention of atleast trying something (hence why we were attempting to save a few ships for last). So all in all no we couldnt have given you a run for your money instead we did the only thing we could we yanked all the shiny stuff we could packed it up in 4 orcas and a badger 2 and warped off to hide it, then we blew up all the other assets to deny you any spoils.

Really thats odd because i remember seeing both a saber and a flycatcher out and about oh wait shame on me for not know what all your ships are fitted with instantly, actually that works for quite a bit of the things the forum doesnt give me space for. The really funny thing is a couple of your own corp mates even agreed that we took the right approach, perhaps a tad bit too early but like i said with all but two of us having a deadline we had to act early. Also the funny thing is had you waited about 2-3 weeks we were going to move into a c5 (i know one of you in local were complaining about no cap support) so i will say this thank you for helping us realize we dont have the people to move up yet.

QT McWhiskers Hard Knocks Inc. 21	Posted - 2012.08.10 13:11:00 - [391] - Quote Look, the point I was trying to make is that you guys gave up WAY too early. The chatter in our comms when your first ships started to self destruct were something like this. "Seriously? You are serious, they are already self destructing. These posses arent even caged yet." And so on and so forth. You guys wasted a LOT of isk on a panic maneuver. You could have at least unfit every ship and put those fitting in your orcas. Trust me, an orca can hold well over 50 ships worth of fittings, especially if they are cargo fit. Then logged off what you could while sacrificing the t1 ships as they arent worth saving. That nightmare SDing that early was just a disgrace. If that were my nightmare, I would have jumped in it on my alt and left him logged out until every hostile was either out of system or offline, then risked it. Either way you deny your enemy a ton of isk albeit with an embarrassing lossmail on the latter. As for the inconsistencies, I was not around for the entire time of the siege. Work and RL engagements pulled me away.

GunnersMate07 Wormholers Anonymous Transmission Lost 1	Posted - 2012.08.10 15:57:00 - [394] - Quote Never having posted in the failblog, Ill relate my story of fail/win that went down yesterday. I logged into our small scale expo hole (c4/c5) yesterday, and found the c5s still up from the previous day, complete with correct bookmarks. I jump through, and immediately see an archon, mega navy, devoter, and orca on dscan, all with exhale tags and no pos fields in system. I was the only guy on, although there was still a direct HS so batphoning was a possibility. Unfortunately when I try ascertaining their position, I realize I dont have the bookmark, so its probably a new k162. The system is also too small to get off dscan from them to drop probes, so I say screw it and drop combats to try and get a hit on the archon as quickly as possible. I rushed it since I was visible on dscan the whole time, and only got a 75% hit from 16.0 au before they all disappeared off of dscan. Since it looked like a perfect wh collapsing fleet for a 5/5, I just figured they rolled their hole. But then other probes start appearing, and I notice an orca again on dscan with exhale tags. I check to make sure the direct high sec is still up, and the orca lands at it and jumps through. Ok Im thinking, they still obviously have an entrance up, lets see where this goes. At about the same time, a Bite me Inc helios lands at our C4 and jumps through, then promptly jumps back out (I had all my alt toons sitting on login screens to keep dscan clear). Cool Im thinking, they havent seen anything so they have no idea really anyone is here except my helios that dropped combats. I scan down and resolve the c5s, and to my dismay find there are no new k162s from the old bookmarks I had. Still puzzled about where they came from, when out of the blue, the bite me helios jumps back into our c4, and this time stays cloaked. Just a few minutes later, a bite me inc Orca then lands at our c4, jumps through and jumps back, and then cloaks up right off our c4 (!). Holy ****, Im thinking, theyre rolling right at our c4! Unfortunately, their helios is still in our system, so if I log in combat toons he will see dscan light up. In addition, I only had 3 potential combat alts to throw at this problem, and I still had no eyes or intel on where they were coming from, or how far away their home system was (and therefore how long it would take for reinforcements to arrive after getting hero tackle on the orca). And then, an opportunity presented itself. Two pilots in pods arrived to help the lone orca pilot roll. They all took turns hopping in and out and making passes on the wh. It took me a minute to have the eureka moment, but when it hit I started slowboating my helios closer to the wh. When the orca had finished its 4th pass and decloaked, I quickly got within 6500m with my helios, and just waited for the occupant to eject so his comrades could continue and avoid the polarization timer. Much to their surprise Im sure, my helios instead decloaked, and as I was spamming the Board Ship command, my heartbeat stopped for a second as I realized I was going through the session timer, and found myself at the helm of what was previously a Bite Me Inc. owned orca! I tried scooping my helios, but didnt have the room in the SMA. So I promptly jumped through into our C4 hot, and caused the wh to go crit. Warped off to our pos, saw their helios leave the system, and then brought closing hictors to finish off the hole with some pew ships in support just in case. Apparently none of their pilots in pods could fly a helios, because I was even able to grab that back before collapsing the wh. After all the excitement had died down and the static was rolled, I went to check the contents of my brand new orca. It had: - caldari control tower + fuel+stront+isotopes and random mods in the cargo - devoter + a couple t2 cov ops frigs in the SMA - lots of moros+rev ammo, numerous cap mods (triage, siege, cap armor rep and rr) in the corp divisions, and assorted mods+ fittings Ie, it wasnt just a closing orca. It was an expo orca chock full of goodies :)

Was dual boxing c3 sites in a nighthawk when I see a broadsword, and 4 BCs on Dscan. (1 harbie, and 3 canes I think) I start to warp out, then remember I am in a black hole. I am sweating my ass off just watching the velocity when a blue broadsword lands as one of my toons gets out. The other toon is bubbled (his nav skills were sub standard at the time) and the fleet lands a few seconds later. Turns out my alliance mates scanned in and shipped up for PVP. When they found me, they decided to scare me as punishment for missing out on PVP. :/ Also, because I know it will be asked, I was running sites in a black hole because the negative effects dont really do anything while running c3 sites (not counting oruze). Everything is always within range of my missiles, and the only ship that isnt is a 3rd wave BS in the forts. But by the time I would reach that wave, I would be within 10km of his spawn point.

The third wave, the upholder BS spawns at around 50k and stays around 40-50k from you the whole time. If I remember correctly, c3 black holes made t2 scourges from a nighthawk travel around the 42-43k mark. Slight dropoff from the 60k I would usually get. But then again, it was never really a problem as I would just motor in. I used to make a ton of money dual boxing c3 sites. 25 minutes per site, 35m per site. So a little over 70m an hour if I did it right. Magnetars were sexy. They let me finish sites in 15 minutes and I would get over 120k an hour. But then I moved up to the big leagues.

Robyn Green EG CORP Talocan United 1	Posted - 2012.08.24 13:08:00 - [439] - Quote I was scouting a WH path from an Island back to the rest of Empire, saw a Hulk on d-scan, so I figured what the heck, and loaded up Combat Probes,and probed out the Hulk sitting at a grav site. Didn't have any PVP ships nearby, and the Hulk sat there for a few minutes, just idling. Bookmarked it and went back to the nearest station in the island. Clone jumped out to Fountain, where my Pilgrim was parked. Flew all the way back to the WH entrance, flew to 20 from my bookmark and the Hulk was STILL sitting there. From the time I scanned them out, to the time I arrived back there would have easily been 45 mins to an hour. Snuck up on them, locked and pointed them as soon as I broke cloak, and killed them. Sadly I think the alarms woke the guy up or something, cos the pod warped off. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=14178468 Also just before last downtime, was in a roaming fleet, and our scout came across 2 Chimeras and 3 Tengus ratting in a site. We massed most of the fleet in the nextdoor system, and the Chimeras and Tengus left the Noctis behind while they seemed to log off. Our scout managed to sneak up to the Noctis, and pointed them. We get the signal to jump and WTZ, so we do that...and once we land on the Noctis, one of the Chimeras lands on grid to save the Noctis, lol. The fleet sits there for about 10-15 minutes pounding away at, and neuting the Chimera...and as we start capping them out and breaking their tank they self destruct. Noctis got away, but we got a Chimera killmail And in the SMA, were 2 Tengus, 2 Cranes, and a Manticore. Very expensive loss. Many lols were had in fleetcomms. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=17317164
Shilalasar Dead Sky Inc. Talocan United 0	Posted - 2012.08.24 13:36:00 - [440] - Quote The fails involved the chimerakill were quite a few: It took us almost the same time ot gather a fleet and get it to the entrancesystem as it took them to run the site. And just as I ( as the scout) gave the fleet warpins they finished it and instantly warped to a safespot and logged. So I said "scew this, I want at least one kill out of this" , pointed the noctis and started pounding on it with my mighty cheetah. When has was at 77% shields one of his friends logged back in. "Ok, so we might at least get a tengu". But no, I see a chimera on scan. Then on grid. Then I realize it even warped at 0 to the nocits I pointed the sucker while he was trying to smartbomb me off the noctis and shot with his sentrydrones at me (Yes, sentrydrones against a frigade at 5km). Fleet was called in and brought in in chunks. When he realized his cap wasn-¦t going to make it he started the SD. Thanks for saving us 2-3 minutes of shooting you. At some point during the fight a firetruck went by my house and I had to mute myself on coms. And ofc forgot to turn it back on. So while the rest of the fleet pulled out of the hole I salvaged the wreck with a destroyer that I had picked up. FC asks "anyone still in there?" and I reply "yes". And since noone could hear me they jumped the BS out and closed the hole Good thing carriers only give T1 salvage. The ship was donated to BOB with a little help from the sleepers.

We decided to say hello by orbiting the tower. Once we were seen, the Corp CEO started to unanchor their POS modules, scooped their CHA...and proceeded to warp off, and logoffski in a safespot. We added said CEO to our watchlists, and went about our scouting business, and found a C3 next door that ran to a Low Sec system. An hour later we get a call on comms to bring a hauler to the tower, which had just seemingly ran out of fuel. Thinking to ourselves, "Yay! Free POS mods!" we collected ourselves a free floating SMA. 3 hours after, we saw the CEO log back in, and went to camp the C3 > Low Sec hole. The guy's Crane managed to get past us on both sides of the hole, and warped to the station in system. As we regrouped to head back home, one of our bomber pilots warped to the bookmark we had for their POS...and let us know the tower was unanchored there...floating free for anyone to come and scoop. We decided this was an opportunity not to be missed. Those of us that were in cloakies or had cloaks fitted, sat next to the tower for a little less than 10 minutes, and a scout Heron appeared on grid. Thinking we weren't going to get the CEO, we decloaked, bubbled up, and killed the scout. While we were doing so, a call came over comms saying a Bustard appeared on d-scan. We cleaned up the grid, and cloaked again...just as the last of us cloaked, the Bustard appeared on grid. With a smile, and many, MANY lols on comms, we sent the Bustard to the scrapyard, and the CEO's pod back to hi-sec, scooped their tower, and went home.

Identities have been removed to protect the guilty. Quote: So there I am in a C5 off XXX, I scan down two WHs both of which are C5. Just to mix up my diving I decide that I am going to check out the C5b first, I know on the edge right. So when in system I hit the D-Scan and see 3 POS an Oynx and an Orca, so as a matter of course I check out the POS' first and see if any pilots are online. 2 are down, but the 3rd is a different story all together as there is an Orca floating 10km outside of the shield. I put the call out to my fellow corp members for an Orca pilot, XXX is happy to come and help me steal this lovely free ship. It was at this point that I assumed and was quite happy with about 700 mil spilt between myself and XXX, however on return to XXX he began to check out the cargo and jaws begin to drop. Here is a small list of the bigger stuff: Ammo: Caldari Navy Antimatter Charge L 17760 Guristas Antimatter Charge XL 20400 Guristas Plutonium Charge XL 40729 Guristas Uranium Charge XL 14366 Probes: Sisters Combat Scanner Probe 67 Sisters Core Scanner Probe 35 Sleeper Loot: Ancient Coordinates Database 258 Neural Network Analyzer 288 Sleeper Data Library 288 Sleeper Drone AI Nexus 220 Melted Nanoribbons 75 Modules: Sisters Expanded Probe Launcher 1 Pithum C-Type Adaptive Invulnerability Field 1 Skill Books: Amarr Dreadnought 1 Gallente Dreadnought 1 Ships: Cov ops x 3 Bomber x 1 Orca x 1 When checking the members tabs and totaling the amounts shown there with the ships, the total loot looks to land about 5 billion isk :D :D :D :D Now I thought that it would be best to thank these kind people for such a nice gift, so I anchor a can outside the shield with a nice message (See attached). In the can is some compensation in the way of a single light scourge missile, but not just any missile, a Caldari Navy Light Scourge Missile, I know my generosity knows no bounds but I wanted to go the extra mile for them. *The enemy of my enemy is... -ájust another guy that needs killin'*

Not sure which numbers you're looking at, but if you look at current prices for minerals, you get quite a different ranking of valuable ores. Spodumain is the worst performer, followed by Gneiss, and unless you have a specific need, you pretty much don't want to mine Crokite. Sell Orders will give you a better performance for Lowsec minerals than Buy Orders, where they fall below the Hisec minerals, but the margin is so close it's not worth the ugly of Lowsec. Veldspar fares better if you sell to Buy Orders. Buy Orders or Sell Orders, the top four are: Arkanor > Mercoxit > Scordite > Plagioclase. If you're looking at obtaining minerals for production, put up Buy Orders and go shoot Sleepers instead :)

While I am scanning I see 5 Tengus and a Noctus on scan. I find the Tengus running sites and they are from some Russian corp with RR setup. I grab 3 corpies and we jump in our Tengus and warp on top of them and start fighting, needless to say the fight doesn't go very far since we are all RR each other. I go back and grab my Abaddon and put 7 neuts on it. We kill all 5 of the Tengus and loot the wrecks. I jump back in my Heilos and head back to scan and see the Noctus on scan again. Checking around the Noctus is at the wreaks for the Tengus trying to salvage. I keed a WD on my Heilos and turn my MWD off and cycle the WD. I got lock and start hitting the Noctus with my 1 Hammerhead. After 15 min the Noctus goes down and I find out its loaded with 8.4 bil in sleeper loot. I pick it up and head back to our Wh and check the KM. It dropped 8.4 bil and lost 7.2 bil

Dorn Val Probe Patrol Project Wildfire 67	Posted - 2012.09.20 06:40:00 - [499] - Quote Seventeen jumps to get to the high sec entrance of a W space system that connects to the system that we wanted to hit only to have the K162 collapse. Some of the fleet stayed to see if there was another way in, but for the most part we knew that there wasn't going to be any action so I made the seventeen jumps back to our high sec entrance. At some point while our fleet was out of our C2 one of the occupants of our static C4 scanned down our system, found our high sec static, and saw that it was close to Jita. With our fleet out of the C2 I'm sure the system looked deserted as well, and that's why Kip saw a Bestower jump with him in high sec, the transport pilot was probably on his way back from Jita. Failed gank attempt, and we missed a cargo run to boot. But Kip noticed that the Bestower had warped to our static C4, so he traded his shuttle for an Arazu and staked out the pilot's POS. Maybe he didn't see Kip as a threat, and maybe he didn't see me at our POS sitting in an Absolution, so the Bestower became a fully loaded Orca and proceeded to jump into our C2. Unfortunately for him most of our fleet had made it back, and was waiting for him on our side of the C4 to C2 wormhole. In a panic he immediately jumped back into the C4, and we followed. Scratch one Orca. The in game kill report shows all of the ships that were in the Orca, and the loss is just over five billion ISK. The pilot logged out not long after we got the tackle, possibly unaware of the aggression mechanics changes and thinking that he'd warp off. I'd like to see his face when he logs in to his medical clone. Footnote: We repped the Orca's armor so all of our fleet could get into the C4 and *** on the kill report :) Just like there is no I in Team there is no Fair in Eve**...

Happily i burn straight ahead, jump the wormhole and get caught on the other side by the same onyx. ignoring the onyx i align to the next wormhole, hit mwd and overheat, burn out and warp off and then it hit me......im in a pvp t3 and they got some battlecruisers, a raven and a proteus that doesnt have range. and i got lotsa scorch. so i turn around and warp back straight into the bubble. align back, drag the battlecruisers and raven off the battleship (the proteus had cloaked up god knows where) and start fighting. the raven seems torp fitted so he can't actually hit me, and the drakes just fire some missiles at me. so i start on the raven hoping he is buffer and not active worryingly, as soon as i hit armor i start dropping massively and fast. hardeners are active, damage control is active, but i drop fast. i try to get a kill before i have to warp off but can't put damage down quick enough. i return home empty handed. i fly to my pos and fit an armor rep to repair my damaged armor.......at which point i see that last night, when i had to burn to a wormhole that was being collapsed i put all my plates offline.....and never turned them on again. i cried :(

Malception Cold Moon Destruction Talocan United 34	Posted - 2012.10.15 15:24:00 - [517] - Quote So yesterday afternoon I was patrolling part of our WH chain in my Helios. We had an incoming C6 which was connected to a C4. Like any scout worth his pod does when he enters a new wspace system, ~~I started fapping~~ I hit dscan and the thing glitched out on me, filling up multiple pages worth of Caldari Shuttles. I hit dscan again to try to clear up whatever was screwing up my scanner and the same thing happened. Dscan. Shuttles. Dscan. Shuttles. Damn, I guess there's just about a hundred shuttles sitting in that POS. I pin down the POS. But there are no bubbles and no shuttles. Interesting. I warp to a nearby moon just for good measure and "OMGWTFSOMEGETSOMESTEALTHBOMBERS" on comms!!! There's about 150 shuttles in two perfect little blobs floating at this moon. I start checking pilot tags and they're all owned by some bear who's still online at that POS I just checked out. Oh, the tears that would soon be shed. Tears of unfathomable sadness as kill mails and loss notifications flood his mailbox. Two of our corp's stealth bombers roll in, chomping at the bit to blow their loads all over this dude's shuttles. Once we finished scouting the system and made sure this wasn't some sort of Lex Luthor-level elaborate trap we unleashed the hounds. There were clouds of rolling explosions and then I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of bears suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced. Glorious.

Arox Dax Posthuman Society 20	Posted - 2012.11.18 19:42:00 - [523] - Quote Hmmm people looking for fail, well I'm in POSHU, soooo fail is a recurring theme, we have lots of fun, we get a lot of kills (well sometimes) but we also have moments of utter fail on a regular basis. On Fri 16th Nov, after what had been a pretty disastrous month so far for our KB, we were scanning and rolling as you do, our scouts shout out they had some poss targets doing cap escalations in a site, bloodlust immediately rises to maximum, fleet is called for and scouts told to get eyes on the hostiles. Fleet is quickly formed, everyone wants to get some green on the KB to make up for our poor month, a bunch of T3's, Proteus, Legion, Loki's, are ready, a bunch of Guardians, HIC's and a Bhaalgorn are all set, so lets get things rolling, where's the hostiles ? J101553 a C6, we have to go through a C6-C4-C4-C6 chain to get to them, off we set, we sit the fleet on the entrance to the hostile hole, scouts are feeding us intel, Noctis and Chimera, at the site, plenty of wrecks that they are busy sweeping up time to spring the trap. We jump in and warp to scout, get point on the Noctis (full of lovely loot) get a couple of points on the Chimera and start to blap, well we tried to, a Domi warps in with smarties, starts to get rid of our drones, the Chimera goes into triage and starts repping the Noctis, our dps is doing nothing, then a Moros warps in, ok guys, orbit the moros at close range, get under his guns so he can't shoot you, that was the plan, didn't work though. Bhaal pilot, I'm down, what !! how the FK, that is quickly followed by a Zealot a Guardian and a HIC, WTF is going on, the call is made to get out (obviously) as we are getting out, another couple of Guardians are lost, shouts are going out on TS WTF happened, how did we lose all that **, there's something funny going on, exploit is called, then a lone voice says, (something I'm sure the avid readers of this forum will have noticed at the beginning) why did they have a Chimera ? Good question, we then start to look at what type of hole we were in (something we should have done first, but meh bloodlust) a Pulsar !! Yep we took an armour fleet into a Pulsar, then wondered why we lost, props to the guys in Censored corp who didn't panic and did what they had to do, they probably wet themselves laughing at us all night, hell we laughed at ourselves. I would normally finish off by saying something like, lessons learned, we won't do that again, next time we'll check, but hey, we'll probably see some targets, jump into our ships and do it all over again, why ? Cos we play to have fun, shooting stuff is fun, win or lose, we live in the best part of Eve, wormhole space, we can make isk to replace stuff, so while we failed we laughed about it, and that's what's it about.

Matrim Fidard A-31 Shattered Empire 1	Posted - 2012.11.19 20:15:00 - [525] - Quote So here is a good fail that i did recently. It really was mistake after mistake after mistake. So i read about daytripping with an orca and my alt was 2 days from flying one. So i tried it once but found a c1 and it did not fit ofc but ran some sites in an assault frig and salvaged and moved on. Couple days later I try again and find a wandering into a c3. Im excited to try this orca idea again. into the unknown with the cloak scanner and I decided to run sigs and clear sleepers that way and perhaps some ninja mining. Mistake 1: 2 pos on d-scan. Occupied. I never see a ship on d-scan and decide it is currently empty, for that is what i want to be. And to make things even more dumb, it was Saturday and there was 10000 more people online in eve than for that time on a weekday. Right, its empty for sure (sarcasm) So I decide to scan anyway and keep going with the plan. Scan 6 or 7 down. Mistake 2: During my scans i found that including the wh i came in on there were 8 wh's in total in the system. Yes 8. An obvious sign of high traffic through the system. But still like before, I want this sytem to be empty, so I tell myself it is still empty, everyone will leave me alone, for sure. Then go get the frig and made the mistake of asking my corp if someone wants to mine a wh grav. And I am the only one who has anything to do with w-space, so its up to me to not be so dumb. Mistake 3: bringing someone who is more of a noob to w-space than me. Then I start to clear the site and bring the orca and the other guy with his retriever into w-space. Orca cloaks and I wait while I clear the grav. Site is clear i say warp to me. Orca and other guy warp. Mistake 4: I stopped spamming the d-scan. No need to explain what is wrong with that here. Run over to orca with assault frig and online salvager and start salvaging with frig. Mistake 5: did not cloak orca. Other guy starts mining jaspet of all things, but keep my mouth shut. Salvage complete run over to orca hop in sneaky covetor. It has a cloak on it so if im paying attention actually i should be safer. Now comes some bad luck and bad timing. Right then is when the Loki and Tengu warp in. And im too close to orca so neither of my ships can cloak. Tell other guy to run and both my ships are warp disrupted. Pop. Pop. Pop. Pop. And then I begin to laugh. Looking back right then at all the errors I made I laugh some more. Wow, that was dumb. But there were some silver linings to be had. Retriever pilot got away and between my 2 pods I had 1 cheap scanning implant in it and no others. But the 800 mill killmail ont the orca sucked and the assault frig and cov ops scanner I lost inside it was not fun. Covetor was enough of a loss too, but not real bad. But probably the worst part was that I moved a while ago and I woke up 25 jumps from where I operate now. Im not even a little bit mad at the Loki and Tengu, for they did exactly what they should have done. It would be nicer if I did not know any better than I do to not make that many mistakes. So, its not even a lesson, for I knew to do those things already. It is just a reminder to perhaps pull my head from my backside once in a while. Hopefully you guys get a few laughs from this. I post it here for I do not know anyone in EVE who wormholes, so they could not understand the full scope of my fail like you guys can. Ps, Dont worry I will return and I assume you guys can get some more easy kill

Saladin Boneslash Heaven's End League of Infamy 3	Posted - 2012.11.29 17:07:00 - [536] - Quote I'm logged in solo when I open our new C1 static. Jump in (flying purifier) to see 2 Drakes and sleeper wrecks on dscan. Only a couple of anomalies in system and turns out that the 2 Drakes are finishing them off (1 at each site). No time to grab a decent combat ship to engage drakes, but they are not salvaging as they go, so I fall back to plan B. I position myself near the one site, ready to jump what I hope will be a Noctis. Unfortunately, he comes back in a salvaging thrasher. Not much chance to kill him with my Purifier, but nothing ventured, nothing gained. I engage and, as expected, he is able to burn away and escape without taking much damage from my torps. Oh well. Then a corpmate logs on. "Anything happening?" "Not much. Just missed a salvaging thrasher. He might come back though, so I will wait here and see if he.... Tengu on dscan." Sure enough, the guy shows back up in a Tengu to salvage the 8 or 10 wrecks in a C1 site. We quickly form the fleet and kill the salvaging Tengu. Nice fit for a salvager. http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=14549756 I guess he didn't expect me to have any friends.

Terrorfrodo GNADE Inc. 253	Posted - 2012.12.03 11:23:00 - [538] - Quote So we picked this sunday to do our first run of capital escalations using Jack Miton's excellent guide to "running C5/6 like a baws". I as the Archon pilot had never done a full escalation before so I was a little excited. I ordered several test warps to safespots so everyone knew what to do in the site. We had a different person for every slot in the fleet so no one was dualboxing, hopefully further reducing the potential for stupid mistakes. Of course we also had someone watching out for new signatures. Finally I felt reasonably confident and warped into the site. Individually of course, no squad warp. I was just entering warp when people on comms went like OH ****. The second carrier pilot, who had no other job than to trigger the final wave after Archon + Dreads would have triggered and cleared the first three waves, had warped with me Now we had two carriers and two escalation spawns in the site and couldn't bring the dreads in because they would have triggered even more sleepers. We also couldn't bring subcaps because they would get blown up. And we couldn't get out because we were scrambled when not in triage anyway. Tbh I was somewhat lost for a few minutes, trying to comprehend how our second carrier had managed to mess up the op in what was basically the only possible way available to him Eventually we called in a third carrier and tried to clear the sleepers with fighters, but they got so much aggro and did so little damage that it was no use. We decided that we log out and log in only one carrier after next downtime and then clear the site as it was originally planned. Just at this moment the inevitable happened: Our scout announced "NEW SIGNATURE!" just as I logged out, having about 90 seconds of triage remaining. Moments later we saw Devoter, Moros, Legions, Guardians on d-scan and it was clear what was about to happen. The third carrier had also logged out, but the second one was for reasons still unknown to me reluctant to do so. And then The Red Circle was on him with their Moros + Subcaps. I warped cloaked to the site with this char and watched as they pounced our carrier. But of course our failcascade was even worse for them than for us. Their Moros spawned the third wave so they had 20 battleships to deal with, and soon their ships started exploding left and right. After several minutes our carrier went down, but shortly after all their subcaps were gone too, with only the Moros clinging still to life. They brought one or two more Guardians in to save the Moros but they almost instantly popped, and finally the Moros also died, with one of our wormhole housemates deviously sneaking on the kill to make it a pvp kill. After we had gathered our senses we sent a pvp fleet to the hole and tried to catch enemies escaping from the site, but all we got was one pod. There was another fight at the hole but Red Circle brought more caps and made it critical, apparently shaken by their unexpected heavy losses to the sleeper onslaught. To sum it up: We failed badly at PvE and pulled The Red Circle down with us into the Abyss. Sorry guys :) .

Firestorm Delta Aphotic Machina 9	Posted - 2012.12.03 20:21:00 - [542] - Quote While I haven't spent much time in wormholes to this day, I did find out pretty quick that they are both fun, and good for reminding you of how little you know about EVE. First trip into one we take a Thorax, and the most spectacularly bad fit Ferox I have ever had the shame of making. Not as bad as most peoples bad fits, but it still shames me to this day. The hole we entered was a C2, we figured we could handle this right? Wrong, thorax barely made it out, ferox was alright somehow. Two days later I find a C1 and decide to try it out with just the Ferox. Get in, find a nice site, get started, didn't think of watching D-Scan back in those days. After warping away a few times to let my cap recharge I am just about done with the site, maybe 3 cruisers left, a nice friendly Rupture comes to say hello with guns blazing. In the next few minutes I learned two things: one, having FoF missiles on hand in the future wouldn't be a bad idea because ECM drones are a pain, and two, Sleepers really, really hate ECM. All the remaining sleepers ganged up on him, while I sat there trying to maintain a lock and shoot him, tank is holding on, barely, and his point keeps me from slipping away in the free for all. Sometime later he drops point, calls in the drones, and zips off. I escape long enough to recharge a bit then go back to finishing the few remaining sleepers. Grab loot, leave and call it a day. So somehow despite essentially making myself one of the easiest targets to kill in a wh I survived. It was almost two months before I set foot in a wh after that, and I was in a drake with a small gang that time.

We also couldn't bring subcaps because they would get blown up. And we couldn't get out because we were scrambled when not in triage anyway. Tbh I was somewhat lost for a few minutes, trying to comprehend how our second carrier had managed to mess up the op in what was basically the only possible way available to him Eventually we called in a third carrier and tried to clear the sleepers with fighters, but they got so much aggro and did so little damage that it was no use. We decided that we log out and log in only one carrier after next downtime and then clear the site as it was originally planned. Bringing sub-caps in would have been ok aslong as you had atleast one carrier in triage and armor links (sig reduction link is nice to have to) and used either t3 hulls or massively tanked battleships i.e. abaddons with their resist bonus. Fighters clear guardians ok if you use firbolgs - the others especially einherji are rubbish against sleepers - with a webby loki (which you can keep alive against 20 guardians with a single triage rep if its properly fit) 9-10 firblogs will kill a guardian in about 2.5 minutes then which isn't ideal but better than nothing. Probably need a couple of lokis so one isn't being constantly neuted out but this also takes aggro away from the fighters. PS thats one of the best fail posts I've read so far.

So when I see dudes warping pods through gates one way, and ships the other, my gank senses begin tingling. On this account, I'm humping timers in FW complexes. I derelict my duty with the alt as cloaky scout and track a dude's pod back to Ontorn, and watch him warp to the middle of nowhere and disappear. I probe in. Warp to first random moon. POD with a CHA, frigs, prorator, no guns. I holler on comms "I need a dude with a drake to go rattle a POS shield." expecting to bait them out. Then, a few minutes later, the POS shield just disappears. Then, since there's a CHA still anchored, numpty inc obviously realise they need to online the POS again to unanchor the CHA to unanchor the POS and scoop. Honestly, should have lurked it till they'd finished, then blitzed them just before they scooped the POS and stole it. But, hell, there was a fleet of 30 dudes bored, so all we got was a Prorator and a CHA with 150Km3 of low-end PI gumf. We couldn't even ***** the kills properly.

According to EFT, Firbolgs have less armor HP, are slower, have worse optimal, worse tracking... seem to be inferior on all stats. I don't actually know entirely why - partly I think einherji end up shooting sleepers a lot deeper into falloff for some reason - it may be that even under ideal conditions einherji just can't orbit close enough to their 1km optimal range whereas firbolgs are getting closer to their 1.5km optimal. (I haven't actually studied it but the combination of faster speed and needing to be closer could potentially result in them overshooting quite a lot). I was bored one day and had a go at it with the different fighters and then used a log analyser (tho I could tell by the time difference that some where better than others) and firbolgs were consistently coming out on top for applied dps by a fair margin overall. Templars are quite decent under ideal conditions as well but the worse tracking hinders them under less ideal conditions.

I can see why people do Orcas and Rorqs in C1's (if you gotta suck rocks, you gotta suck rocks) but a freighter? I am still baffled as to what the hell it is used for - even the whole "pack everything in it and logoffski" treament. Ploise explain. Well as a former owner of that freighter ( really doubt there was another one ) i will explain. When that freighter was built, that wh had 35 moons, and on each of them there was a large caldari pos running fullerides reaction. This was before the technetium change, when technetium was 30k in jita and a freighter cost was 500 mil to build. Running fullerides reactions on 35 moons brought a clean profit of 1.2 bil+ a day, so 500 mil was pocket change. The only downside of running reactions on 35 moons was the time spent with fueling the silos every day, and the towers once a month. An industrial ship was a very poor choice for the job, as you had to make more than one trip for each pos. Thats why the freighter. Coupled with some planning for the bookmarks and the fueling order have reduced the logistics time from approx. 2 hours to 30 minutes each day. After the ship costs changed, ended up selfdestructing that freighter for more than i spent for building it :) So, not so dumb huh ?

Sadly, I was the only guy online at the moment, and I'm not packing heavy enough to pop him - not even with an alt in-system. Watched him as he bumbled about, then set an ambush. Then for grins I ran a freighter full of fuel right past him. Watched him reset on the HS static exit as I exited via another WH. He sat on that one WH for a half hour before I got tired of watching him twiddle his thumbs, uncloaked my sentry long enough for him to know he'd been had, and went giggling off. He's probably still bouncing back and forth between the HS static and the POS - all whilst looking over his shoulder. Tell someone you love them today, because life is short.

Xanral Ajo Heavy Industries 24	Posted - 2013.02.25 17:20:00 - [567] - Quote This story is a bit long to get to the fail portions, sorry: My corpmate and I are hitting a C2 (HS and C1 static) WH that has 2 groups living inside, CCPEE and FAP. We blow up a couple of CCPEE PI haulers while a 3rd party tries to blow us up but fails. CCPEE themselves goes into huddle in the bubble mode and FAP is completely silent. So we reinforce a POCO owned by CCPEE. About 15 minutes before the POCO comes out of reinforced we blow up a FAP ratter. We then proceed to shoot the POCO with our 2 Ravens while CCPEE's 6 pilots huddle inside the bubble. An unaffliated group drops a proteus, 2 lokis, and an onyx on us. We blow up the proteus and the rest run. CCPEE starts up a conversation and we chat with them for a bit, explaining that we're going to remove them from the wormhole unless they want to give us their customs. They ask why and we say we were hired to do this but at no point do we name drop anyone. They ask for some time to decide and we give them 3 days. During the 3 days they call on a bunch of friends to help them and by error think that FAP hired us. So they go and neuter FAPs POS and contact us saying we have to pay them 200 million ISK or else they'll finish off our employers. We laugh about it for a bit and blow up a FAP hauler as they evac from the system. We call on a few more people to reinforce all of the POCOs in system (16 of so combat ships) and do so without issue. CCPEE again contacts us and attempts to stall for time and makes some comments that lead us to believe that they've hired help again. On the day the POCOs come out of reinforced we gain hole control early; keep it rotated and critted; and start to pop the first POCO. Then some bad luck/decisions hit us as a C2 WH forms to an alliance that has almost equal numbers to us + logi (we have none) and the HS is rotated within 2 jumps of where CCPEE's reinforcements are staging. The reinforcements are 3x-4x times our size with as many logi as we have ships. Both groups seem to have our fleet in their sights. We could feasibly close off either fleet but that would leave the other one to pounce on us while the other group works to get back inside. Or, we could manipulate things a little to our advantage. First thing is we reduced the mass of the HS to limit the larger force to roughly even numbers and remove all our non-cloaky ships from the WH. The C2 group begins to bait shooting at the POCO. The HS group doesn't have the level of intel on the C2 group we have and with the HS reduced can only bring in part of their fleet. They do so and engage the bait. The C2 group brings all of their fleet inside and beats back the HS group. HS group limps home and C2 group closes their connection leaving just us and CCPEE. We rotate the HS again and finish off another POCO. Within 48 hours CCPEE evacs the WH and we have the system to ourselves. Within the day it is settled. tl;dr - We hit 2 groups living in the same WH and one of them mistakenly thinks the other group is our ally. They call in reinforcements and destroy their neighbor. We keep hitting them and when they call in the blob again to aid them it is crushed by a random connection. Groups lose WH without a single shot being taken at a POS from our end.

Serendipity Lost Hidden Agenda Deep Space Engineering 38	Posted - 2013.03.03 01:35:00 - [573] - Quote Pretenders c6 was incoming to our c5 when I got home from work this morning. Logged in and offered to roll it before I was off to bed. Long story short we put 3 BS through the wh. Their chimera beat our chimera to the wh and came through. Left with the choice of swapping carriers or getting away I chose run away. They pointed the chimera and their fleet trickled though the wh (see attached mail). In short order our scout in their c6 reported 'moros on d-scan'. They brought it right in behind their fleet and shut the door. They ended up popping our chimera and a moros as our pilots were logging in. We eventually trickled in 2 more rev and forced their caps out of siege/triage and they warped to a safe. Once out of siege we got back to pos and eventually rolled an additional incoming c5 closed trapping thier caps in our system (we have a c3 static). To the pretenders - sorry that was kind of a d*** move, but we had strong desires for corp internal reasons to lock you in and buy your chimmy and moros to replace the ones you just took from us. It put you out, so sorry and thanx for going with the purchase plan. We bought they stuff and they departed with a pretty good haul overall I would think. I can't say enough good stuff about this. (I'll give you the high level handy stuff). Props for: Super quick response Going all in Upholding some of the unwritten good stuff we do in wh When buying the caps off them it was just 2 FCs trusting the other to keep their word. Cap purchases on the fly when 'stuck' in a wh take a large measure of trust. I'll say from here forward I know I can take Pretenders at their word and we appreciate both the good fight and how it went afterward. TL/DR Pretenders are made of ooey gooey wh goodness - would donate cap losses again! Donation: http://hid.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=16615978 Lost

To balance the fail-scade of that day, I decided to engage a Proteus (When is this EVER a good idea. ) on our static's side of our static, when i see "Oh Sh*t. get out, get out!" I manage to burn back to the hole (no scram on the prot, admittedly he was fit for scanning [?]) when i land on the other wide and see a gang of 15+ t3's, BC's, and a coupla guards. i landed about 1k from the hole, wasn't able to burn off and cloak in time, so i jumped back through, and this time landed a nice 4.5k on the opposite side of the hole most of the gang landed on. got alpha'd through 30% of my armor on my own Prot before jumping back into our static. o.O Not quite as hard of a fail as the proteus landing on our pos, but still stupid of me. we almost traded proteuses (proteii?) TL;DR Don't engage "solo" t3's. Not a good idea.

So I've been doing industry out of a C3 static highsec and use an orca to move most of my stuff around. I am so careful with it, it's borderline pathological. Usually warping to the bookmark in something else to make sure it's bookmarked correctly* if it wasn't made by me, dscaning before and after warp is initiated, jumping back through if I'm more than 3.5k away from the hole so I don't get bumped off before I can re-enter, check warp distance to make sure the destination is within dscan range etc. several times over. My buddy 's been telling me several times that I'm ta little crazy with how careful I've being. I wake up one morning, feeling kinda tired, informed we have an exit nice and close to jita. Jump in the orca, consider testing the waters first, but everything has been going great for months so I just Dscan and warp. Hit dscan a couple times on my way, and watch as everything of ours disappears and is replaced by a small bubble. I'm pretty sure that wasn't there before and I'm hoping that it doesn't mean what I think it means. It did: http://eve.battleclinic.com/killboard/killmail.php?id=19260296 (3 T3s kill 2B in orca and cargo) My main was elsewhere and start trying to get some help from my friend who's currently making breakfast before I land. Obviously too late. 1 T3 decloaks, 2 more enter and I know I'm toast. Only positive thing, is I manged to save the pod which had a little too much invested in implants. Back to being paranoid. * I'm currently sitting on a WH, watching a small group use a very incorrect WH bookmark, slowboating to the WH every time. I'm in a hound, waiting for something squishy, no luck but I'm currently too busy to be bothered at the moment. The same corp landed their Mastidon no less than 8 times in the same drag bubble we put up the other day. They ended up having more than us at the time, but we got a little fighting out of it.

I don up the new Prophecy and fit it to about 110,000 ehp ( double plate Plate, Reactive Armor Hardener, Triple EAMN's, etc). It was literally a Mega Tank ship, solely for drawing fire (bait). I built it to within mass of the c1 wormhole limit (thing was 19,500,000, just small enough to fit). We form up a small fleet because there are a few guys at a highsec exit and wanted to have some fun. I land at 0 on the hole, blam, they open fire. Shields evaporate in about 4 seconds. Rest of gang lands. They hit my armor for about 6 seconds and the bar doesn't move. They warp a few more in, continue to blap me and others. I'm flying around in my brick, I decide to orbit at 2500 with the microwarp drive on. EItherway, enemy fleet drives us into highsec and start chewing through my armor at a alarming rate. I MWD to hole, try to exit at a little under 1/4th armor... Ship is too big. The mass of my prophecy was fully armored was 19,500,000 (I did that specifically as I jumped it into the c1). I mentally said I didn't over-mass it by double plating. Wait.. the Microwarp Drive.... :-/. C1 mass limits 20 million, the Microwarp when active adds another 5 million.. 24.5 mil... and I just cycled it again.... Boom goes the prophecy. Clone jumps out safely :-P I make mental note to never micro-warp drive or afterburner in a C1.

We had a k162 Null connected from our hole yesterday (5/16/2013). After getting home from work, I logged in and start sig checking. Null sig wasn't there anymore. As I start to delete the old bookmark, I decided to double-check. Why? Something just didn't feel right. So, I warp a bit off the bookmark. As I'm landing on grid, I see a carrier wreck on the overview. All I could say was .. wait .. This can't be right? Turns out, the null-sec alliance had tried to close the hole and got their carrier pilot stuck in our hole. The pilot SD'd the ship and pod on the hole. I ended up scooping 80k m3 (~550M) in modules & drones. Wreck yielded no salvage. :( The corpse is in the Corp hangar, for now. Too bad I wasn't on a little sooner.

Hansy Babes I Swear She Was 18 Rainbow Dash Friends 3	Posted - 2013.05.31 14:48:00 - [620] - Quote Failed ransom attempt; http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=18011829 So I wake up one early afternoon to find my skype chat reading "Guys, anyone who can get online needs to be online now", "Rev is hitting Indy POS right now". We aren't a large wh corp and we mainly use our c5 - c3 static non-bonused wh to farm so that we can pvp in Kspace, with some random smaller engagements in w-space if the opportunity presents itself. Considering this was the first time that someone had decided to take a dread and seige our pos we were a little concerned to say the least, fears of 50 man t3 fleets and a large enemy cap fleet brought in over time and logged off in our wh were running through my head. As I logged on I got invited to a chat with the guy doing the ransoming who demanded a neat 3 billion for them to leave. I did the natural thing and had a look at there killboards, less than 100 kills in the month and 28% efficiency over all as an alliance, I started thinking maybe these guys are just bad or maybe a front alliance? alts of a larger wh entity?. At this point the alliance had about 12~ people coming in from our low sec staging system in T3's a HIC and some of our own cap capable pilots including myself. Our friends at Boris Johnsons Love Children (boriz) also had a 15~ man t3 gang coming seeing as there wh exit was only 4 jumps away from our enterance. We sat in our static waiting for someone in a recon to go get a point on the rev when one of the enemy falcons jumped into us (they didn't have eyes on us until then). The handful of dictors and the BS that had been attacking the pos with the rev buggered off and for some unknown reason the dread decided that now was the ideal time to seige up, much to our delight. We shipped up into our dreads and triage archon and started warping to the tackled rev, with the boriz fleet 4 jumps out. 4 dreads > 1 dread and so it died but when it was at about 20% armor our would be evictors warped in 8 or so t3s with 2 guardians (apparently 4 had been on scan at somepoint but only 2 landed). This confused us considering we matched them in sub caps even without the friendly boriz fleet and we had a triage archon and 4 dreads. Regardless they landed and we started blapping them, random things warped in and straight out during the fight like a guardian, and a damnation, the falcon was at 30km during the entire fight, one of the proteus had clicked approach on the archon and sat at 0 next to it making it blissfully easy to track etc. all tell tail signs of dissorganisation and general bad. Unforuntaly we cleaned them up before the boriz fleet could even arrive and a nice 10bil in kills was netted. I guess these guys try and ransom random carebears on a regular basis? v0v pretty fail overall.

Went in and tried to harrass the locals in Syndicate. Went to go have dinner then scanned down my static to care bear it up for the night. Finished scanning, reshipped and went for a smoke. Warped 2 tengu's to my static and saw a hulk with drones chilling on dscan. Turned tengus around to the pos and reshiped to bombers. Warped to a safe in dscan range of all the ore sites in my system and low and behold there is that hulk, drones were pulled now. So Im thinking, **** hes gonna run. Dscan him to a specific planet he is near, and warp to the first ore site near that planet. Not there, still on dscan and drones are back out. So at this point he has seen 2 tengus come on dscan and leave dscan and he is still there thinking he is safe. Warp to the other belt near that planet at range. Bump cloak on a roid. Hulk is still there. Microwarp in and am vollying the whole time, he finally starts to allign out as im in point range, pointed. Two vollies later, poped. Turns out he was one of the residents from the null system I had been in earlier that night. Guess the nullsecer didnt get the memo, dont mine in a wh if you dont own it and crit the outbounds and incomings.

Most of us were in ships borrowed from the Badgers that they ejected for us to use. The defense fleet Had no clear leadership, Had terrible communication, Staged in a reinforced POS, Had half the fleet logged off by the time BU&A attacked, Had spies/neutrals in the defensive fleet due to overly-permissive recruiting, Had an unpiloted Archon stolen from the POS by "friendlies", HB "allies" gave BU&A the POS password (including one idiot who named his ship the POS password, 'podsex') so that at one point the BU fleet successfully went bowling through the defensive POS, Spies communicated warp-ins to ensure the defensive fleet landed in a drag bubble (admittedly, this might have just been a scout warp-in fail, but given the level of intel leaked to BU&A, I think it's unlikely a coincidence). Had many who believed BU&A propaganda that they only had a small fleet in-system, and that the Honey Badgers defense was "blobbing" them and that BU&A were there for a "good fight", not an eviction. Overall, a hilarious (but expensive) learning experience. The most one-sided waffle-stomping I've ever personally experienced. Congrats BU&A, and LOLs to we the defenders :-) The battle was lost long before it was started. Having good intelligence on your opponents is apparently worth far more than the ostensible size of your fleet.
