[1]
I have been very busy the past few months and haven't been able to get on much. A month of trying to get my sec status up has been failing miserably, so I decided to insure a Maelstrom I had and go out and try to die having some fun. Since RHN recently joined a 0.0 alliance, I figured I really didn't have use for a Maelstrom.
After wandering around in Genesis for a bit and not finding anyone to kill me, I decided to head to Antem. It was my first low sec system I entered nearly 5 years ago, and I knew CoC lived there. They love to kill stuff, so I figured "what the hell, even if I get blobbed 10 to 1"
After entering Antem, I warped to their main station, to see a Proteus hanging out. I warp to an obvious planet, hopefully luring him to follow. There were a couple Drakes and a Cerberus on my scanner as well. After not being followed I went to hunt down the Cerberus.
I warped to the planet I scanned him down to at 100km and he was sitting there at 0km. Again I warp to an obvious planet at 100km hoping he'd warp on top of me. He lands on top of me about 30 seconds later, and I web and warp disrupt him and start laying into him. He's going down pretty quickly, and I see the Proteus and Drake on scan coming in.
At this point the Cerberus, with about 10% shields left has approached me at 0m and I can't get away from him, even while he's webbed. My guns refuse to track him, and my only source of damage are my drones. I choose to change direction to see if that would work before I switched targets. He gets about 400m away and 3 volleys later he is dead.
I switch to the Proteus, and he starts dropping like a rock. I see him racing to get out of my web range. I overload my web, then my guns and kerplode him at around 16km. My shields are pretty low at this point, yet there is only a Drake left, and I'm purposely keeping them low now to lure some more pilots.
The Drake takes a while to take down, and my guns reload when he is about 60% structure, as a Raven warps in. I quickly finish the Drake off, and engage the Raven. He is neuting me, and my cap was already low, making his triple BCS Rage Mjolnir torpedoes hurt. A lot.
At about half of the Ravens shields, a Megathron and Arazu warps in, and soon another Raven. I am desperately overloading everything and trying to keep my guns and mods alive while they are eating through my armor and hull. I have no cap! I'm finally going to get my wish and die. The Raven disappears in a bright flash of blue two seconds before I do.
Should have used those two seconds to pop the Proteus wreck. Hope you liked my verbal Fraps.
TL;DR I wanna shoot stuff and then blow up! omg cerb, drake, proteus! PEW EPEW I'm dying!1 no!! WTF.. why is **** blowing up?// pEW OEW take that! oh god more ships PEW PEW AAWERAGAEGWh \o/
Still TL;DR AAAAAAAAAAAHHHH PEW PEW PEW BOOM BOOM ARGEAHAHHAHAEARGAEA poof

Well done Nerogk, good skills. I rememeber you from our mutual past in an unnameably bad alliance, good to see you doing well... Want a job?  Trust me, I almost know what I'm doing. |

the cerb and drake pilots came back in ravens so it only comes up in one ship for each of them. the proteus guy might have logged off/left system causing him not to be on the killmail.

Yeah, basically the Cerb Drake and Proteus reshipped into a Raven, Raven and Megathron. If you see the Damage that the Ravens did, that is really the damage of both of the ships they used combined. Same with the Mega and Proteus as well.
I forgot to add, props to the guys for the fight. It was really fun, and they were very respectful afterwards. I'm just glad I didn't get blobbed by 10+ ( i had hope for a good fight when there were only 10 or so in local)
I didn't really care about loot, as i was just wanting a fight and expecting to die. I probably could have warped out a couple times, but I wasn't going to have any of that. It certainly paid off.

Yeah, it was at a planet. Regardless I'm -8.3. However, I just realized (I guess I'm a bit slow) that the cerb must have been waiting off his GCC, which is why he was roaming around the planets.

Edited by: GoodNDead on 24/10/2009 07:24:33 off the bat we brought the wrong ships to deal with him. Tackled there was not much i could do about it then.
Tho the cerb did not go down quick at all.. The first two volleys were like getting punched in the nads to be honest, but i closed distance and the DPS fell off nicely. volley damage droped to the mid to low 300's and with a low rate of fire it increases my chance of survival or at least it gives more time for others to arrive and add to my damage.
Being that close to a turret based ship makes tracking difficult and forces misses and lowers DPS a ship can put out.
Also tho, staying this close to a moving ship while being webbed is very hard to do. My attempts to prelong my demise allowed two ships to arrive on scene. I noticed the maelstrom needing to boost off and on to stay above 50% shields, the aditional DPS put a strain on his tank and it was now running full tilt. Unfortunately the maelstrom changed direction and i lagged behind a bit and this allowed him to get range. eventually as range increase tracking on his ship improved and so did the DPS. Once again the cerb was getting pounded by full DPS of the full rack of 425's with fleet EMP and fell rapidly.
i could see the xl booster doing its work and knowing you had to either have some magic cap stable setup, or be nearly out of boosters. also, i was amazed when i heard the t3 ship dropped before my pod landed on the planet i warped it out to.. I decided to reship instead of just take the loss, heck i may get some good loot off this guys wreck when i kill him :D.
Docking i picked a prefit torp raven i used a few days earlier to assist in a carrier kill and quickly undocked and warped to the reaming fleet member still in the fight.
As i arrived i engaged the large nos and a full rack of t2 siege launchers that had EM rage torpedoes preloaded, perfect for shooting big shield tanked ships. I got maybe 2 vollies on the malestrom before the drake exploded. =\ back to 1v1, but this time i was packing a large nuet, epic shield buffer, and 1015DPS, more then enough DPS to get the job done given the time. As the vollies landed the xl shield booster was going full tilt again on the Maelstrom. As he repaired a chunk back it was never as much as it sustained. I grinned as i realized it was only a matter of time before either the boosters were dry or the DPS would overcome the reps and he would start taking armor damage.
DPS from the Maelstrom keep coming and it had eaten 50% of the Raven's shield when the t3 pilot that changed ships had arrived in a gank Megathron and a 4th pilot in a Arazu shortly after. With the raven's buffer down to 25% the Mega's DPS engages and the Mealstron's armor starts taking damage in between rep cycles. At some point it looks as if his is no longer getting reps and we start eating through the armor. Raven enters armor shortly after and its a race to try and kill the Maelstrom before the raven dies.
The Raven looks to have more HP remaining but its not over yet. As the Maelstrom enters structure we see a shield rep and this puts the Raven and Maelstrom neck and neck practically. With both ships sinking, another rep from the maelstrom and its too close to call. At this point i expect to lose the ship. Being a passive torp raven there is nothing i can do but continue firing. Raven's structure gone the ship explodes and i eject out in a pod but... there is also another pod on the overview. the maelstrom is dead! I receive Top Damage Dealer and Final Blow for the kill on the Maelstrom.
To a true PvPer a good fight reguardless how much is lost is still worth it in the end.
It had been a very slow night and very few were on and active. You actually only faced 3 of our pilots, 4 if you count the Arazu pilot that arrived late and did less then 1k damage.

The Raven looks to
A very accurate and more in depth breakdown of the fight while you were on grid. I didn't think changing directions would work as you were on top of me and keeping up with me. However, I thought I'd give it a shot before I switched targets, and luckily it worked. I probably waited too long before i tried it. Props on the superb piloting man. You probably lasted the longest, while in the cerb.
When the Mega and Arazu warped in, I knew i was going to die for sure then. I just made sure i was about 3km from you, and started micromanaging my tank and thermodynamics. It was close for sure. I have a bad habit of concentrating too much on my tank, but by that point that was all I could do.
It was a great battle. o7
PS. I bet most of the loot i dropped sucked, as most of it burnt out at the end of the fight. = / At least you got all of your own loot back.

That was an awesome story and its uniqe cause most of the people I talk to say that the Maelstrom is one of the worst ships to pvp with. This story has proved them wrong. Its also cool to know that you took on like 6-8 ships. Though I h8 the fact that you died. If you would of survived that would of been BEAST. Thx for the cool story
By Fear Lancer Ps: Are you cap ship pilot? cause I ve been meaning to see one for my self instead of see all of these vids on youtube showing how they blow stuff up so if you have a chance and have a cap ship can I SEEE IT PLZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ |
