A Collective Veteran fail.
During the start of the BOB & GBT vs RA/goon war in Delve one of our more veteran members found a huge and I mean huge combat exploration site. He and another Vet ended up losing a pair of Battle ships to it; more due to them both being under the influence of the fizzy pop!
Anyways, we are on Teamspeak discussing how we might 'take it down'.
Problem was that our Logi ships were out of position, and the war while still not hot was getting to the point where moving anything was either a big deal or getting dodgy without numbers.
As we discussed the matter, the only Intel we had was "There was a fo**ing shite load of them." Not really a useful description. So, seeing as I had a throwaway Executioner cluttering up my hold, I decided to use that to get to the site, then go in, loose the ship, then I could float about doing a better head count.
So off I go, get to the site, jump in, click on a central structure and issue the orbit at current range, then lit up the Over drive supported Afterburner. A couple of seconds my ship vanishes under a haze of green as about 50 BS with assorted rabble open up on Max. But by then I am trucking and nothing is touching me.
Anyways, I do a head count, and we spend another 20 mins discussing the best way to take it down with our limited resources to hand. Remember, this is about five day one and Beta age Vets.
Then a new voice chips in, one of the new guys, both new to us and new to Eve, still in high sec, but listening in to get a feel for things.
The Convo sort of went like this;
Noobie: Max, can I ask, you are in the site?
Max : Yup
Pause
Noobie: In your Executioner?
Max : Yup
Pause
Noobie: And you have the agro? All of the agro?
Max : Yu............FFS!!!! %^&$-ú!!!!!
You could hear palms slapping foreheads and that famous Homerian battle cry "D'oh!" in several parts of the world.
Needless to say, within five minutes 4 Corp BS jumped in and the site started to die.
And yes, we all made a donation to ensure that Noobie got an equal share of the kill bonus and loot value |
