So my corpmates and i are sitting around our HQ system, mostly being bored. One, a certain "Wilhelm Beck" decides that he will get into his Cormorant, a ship reknowned for its 500m sig radius ( i'm not even sure how that happens ). I decide, not wanting to be outdone in the silliness department, tojump into my Bellicose, a ship that somehow never fails to get me kills. Another corpmate, barely out of his trial account, joins in with his unsuitably serious Thorax, while another suitably worthless member of the corp flies his new Stiletto-which has no guns fit, as far as i can tell. Nor a tank. simply scramblers and a MWD.
After driving through a few mostly empty systems, we come across a system where we see only one man in local. Spreading out quickly, we find that he's in a megatron. Since I am bored, and in a t1 fitted fully insured cruiser, i simply type "leeroyyy" into gang and warp to his belt. Several proclamations of "god, you're an idiot" later, the rest of the gang follows, and we find the megatron finishing a spawn. Wildly cackling to myself, i begin orbiting at 1000m, fully expecting to be in a pod within 30-40 seconds. I look more closely at the mega- it has rails fit. And no webber. Nor nos.
Drones belch forth from its foul belly - 2 berserkers and a hammerhead. I LOL wildly and set all my drones after them, merrily continuing to go pew pew pew to his ship. His drones quickly die, and so we're left relatively unmolested, except somehow the interceptor dies. (to 350mm rails? unwebbed? while MWD'ing?) I'm still completely unsure of how this happened, but will attribute it to complete and utter lack of common sense on the part of its pilot.
5 minutes pass. The Megatron's armor is at 90-95% and not really changing. My sides are aching, having been lmao'ing and rofling all up and down in my room. I decide that perhaps backup is necessary--even though oddly enough, no one has come to this man's aid. I ask a few friends from eXin Alliance to perhaps bring their HACs over to actually *HURT* this thing. They readily agree, especially when I mention that they are, in fact, small little girls if they don't.
2 minutes later. Apparently today was a bad day for nodes and TQ working. Exin is held up in jump queues, and are 7-9th in line to jump in to the neighboring system. There is no other way in. We are, as the say, completely and utterly worthless. Why didn't I bring my rupture..or cyclone...or tempest...or rifter, for gods sake, this bellicose does almost nothing. And I keep teleporting around the belt. Seriously, hardware upgrade, why do you do this to me.
Now.. there's a F***ing DESTROYER shooting at this thing. Wilhelm has like..80k SP in gunnery. At this point, i have about 90million SP in hating him for flying his destroyer.
As the minutes pass, I notice a miraculous thing. The repairs ..aren't getting the mega back to full HP. In fact, he's down to 50%. We're breaking his F***ing tank. My childlike shrieks bring my housemate in, confused to what some person is doing to me. He watches, laughing, as i literally ROLL ON THE FLOOR LAUGHING. 2 more minutes pass. The lag is getting unbearable, with 10-20 second sections between updates. I don't care. We're killing a megatron.
A red pixel appears on his structure. We've almost broken his tank. For some reason, the interceptor pilot jumps back in with his pod. Just to watch? I'm unsure, but the mega reaches out and swats with its huge rail guns of missing-me. The pod is in structure. Everyone in the gang except Intie pilot lol's. Intie pilot is confused and distressed, and warps out again, and is podded on the way home.
The megatron is at 50% structure. Command lag is just ridiculous. Nothing works. I attempt to ransom, lag for 30 seconds, and then suddenly my EVE-mail box blinks. I do not receive another packet for 2-3 minutes.
Realizing what the eve mail box blinking means, i'm reduced to the state of an infant, drooling and giggling.
As they say,
YAR.

Glad you enjoyed the kill, bringing down a Mega is always nice, however I dont quite see why it is so funny you had 2 cruisers, a ceptor and a destroyer,
taking down a mega with just 2 Ceptors would be funny 2x interceptors vs 1 x mega

LOL @ filter pwn.
If you have any pills - preferrably pain killers - I'll be happy to take them. Anything so I can relieve some of this back pain and maybe play Eve for more than 45 minutes at a time. -- Eh... 24k? I can't make a sig that doesn't suck and keep it under 24k. Oh well.

You knew what I was getting at.
And my lovely assistant is in the same boat as you. She misses Eve, but between the pain meds and the pain itself, she hsn't been able to get in game for weeks. _

Having been involved in this tangentially I have to say that if this sort of thing happens on a more regular basis in the world of more ship health I'm all for it. The ability to actually call for reinforcements will make piracy a very much more interesting trade.
Also, it turns out that the mwd makes my sig radius fab-u-lusss. <insert song by sir mix-a-lot>

Oh sure, you're suicidal enough to attack a megathron but you blatantly refuse to kill my thorax, that is just unfair destr0math!

Believe it, it's a whole lot more ironic when you kill a pirate sniping in a megathron with a vigilant
