Dear Pod Pilots,
Today in U3K-4A a battle of almost epic proportions found place.
CoW informed us that a POS of them will come out of reinforced at around 20.00 Eve time and that Republic Alliance will try to get it down with their Cap fleet. So we formed up our fleets and made a reality check if we have an actual chance of killing them.
=> Yes, we did!
Quietness on TS. First words of them forming up at the POS came in. Only Caldari Dreads and a few carriers sieging the POS not in Siege mode (WTF?). I think that they tried to test if CoW were going for those and try to lure them into the trap by dropping more caps on them. After a short while (which felt like an eternity) they brought in all their capitals and started sieging the POS still without going into siege mode (hmmm...). Very well then!
We formulated a quick plan (as easy as they come). Drop the Bubbles on them, open the cyno, and there we go. Word of dropped bubbles on them spread in ts and the cyno going up soon. Heartbeat starts rising even for such old folks in eve we are.
=> Cyno is up!! JUMP! <=
Alright, here it comes. The rush of blood to the head.
Jumping in went smooth. Dropping the fighters, dreads went into siege and here we go: Primary target: Captain Bluebeard! (poor fella) Secondary Target: Corniz!
TS went dead. Only the sonor voice of our FC came through predicting the death for the next 2 pod pilots. While we were chewing through the enemy Capital fleet we got word that a Fleet (around 100) of TCF will show up to join the party. We thought: Hmmm... Who are they gonna shoot? us? them? Very well, guys! Bring it. We just didn't care. We wanted those big shiny ships to blow up.
The engagement started at 20.18 eve time and ended around 21.20 eve time. The time went by like nothing good. Dread after Dread exploded and left a dull pile of scrap metal behind. Once we terminated all their dreads, we switched to the carriers. A few interpreted the signs very well by hitting the red jump button and brought themselves to safety. Most were hung out to dry in the bubbles we put up. After 1 hour of pure wrath given back and forth between the attending capital ships, the overview was clear.
Someone is taking damage? How ... I thought the overview is clear? ahhhhhh.... TCF! Swapping overview ... Here they are. After 2 more engagements where we warpped into their sniper spots, killing a few we decided to return to safety. You never know if there's another Capital Ship fleet around the corner when engaging them since they got tons of friends.
Calming down in the safety of a station while having a good Quafe and some smokes, the battle report forms up. What did we lose? What did we kill?
Here are the numbers for the statistic junkies:
Numbers they brought up (approximately):
29 Dreads (29 died)
12 Carriers (7 died)
a small support fleet (I don't actually have any numers on that one) (a good amount died)
Numbers we put up:
27 Dreads (6 died)
32 Carriers (1 died)
a small support fleet (around 30ish?)
After finishing this report I want to thank Cult of War for giving us this opportunity to have lotsa fun and pew pew! You did an awesome job!
Thanks as well to all Krautbreak pod pilots participating!
I hope you enjoy reading this!
Cheers
