Today, after finishing the bulk of my administrative and theological duties, I decided to retire to a refitted Mackinaw meant for deep space industry.
While I was tending to a plethora of correspondence, the klaxons on my ship suddenly blared. Tapping into the ships sensors, I was immediately apprised of the arrival of forces loyal to Sansha Kuvakei.
I counted 3 frigates, and 2 cruisers, my Mackinaw (not being constructed by holy Amarr engineers) was greatly outnumbered.
I initiated a distress call within my embedded corporation channels, and the holy Citadel Intelligence links. I was immediately contacted by 3 separate Imperial Dreams security forces, two of which were stationed and on patrol within our capital system of X6AB-Y. Without any chance to reply to the responses to my distress signal, my sensors alerted me to a ship which had just jumped out of warp, an Omen class heavy cruiser.
The ship designation read loud and clear, The Empress' Ship Faithful. Brother Kontrahage arrived at the scene. My ship, the TES Empire Builder had almost immediately ceased rocking back and forth by violent laser fire hitting my shields, as he began to draw their fire.
Targeting first the frigates, Kontrahage's holy lasers lashed out metting out judgement upon the Sansha followers. Mid-battle, an unknown Sansha weapon began disrupting his external sensors reducing his tracking range by nearly 50%. This however did not stop the brave Paladin, as he still hit his targets.
2 minutes later, the space nearby was littered with debris. The enemies of God dispatched, and a Caldari brother faithful to Amarr said "It was the Lord who guided my holy lasers..." |

His Excellency hounours his humble servant with this mention. There is one slight inaccuracy however. It was not my tracking that was impaired but my ship's external visual sensors leaving me blind throug most of the fight with the overview console as the only source of information.
It was truly the Lord's own hand that saved us both today. |

Not to imply anything about your posting ability but why should we care that you destroyed a small number of non-capsuleer Sansha ships?
She's mad but she's magic, there's no lie in her fire.
This is possibly one of the worst threads in the history of these forums. -á- CCP Falcon

This sounds so fun and epic! You should make a holo-movie out of it! With Paladins, Brothers, Sisters, Gods and all that Impractical Gold Armor! |

I believe the Cardinal's point was to highlight the rapid response of Providence security forces which regularly police and patrol the governed space to ensure the safety of all residents therein.
Secondly, and perhaps the most surprising thing that you missed, this is more a testimony of how a Caldari born capsuleer, rose to the service of Empire, and was also clearly blessed by God during the engagement.
I for one, was very encouraged to read this. |

With tracking being done mostly by computers, I'd venture that is was less God and more tech that guided those turrets. But, I'm just a heathen, what do I know?

Had you bothered to study the entire account of what happened you would understand the significance of the event.

This impairment effectively neutralized the advantage I had as a capsuleer and turned my cruiser into an undermanned space vessel without a proper bridge crew and yet we prevailed outnumbered and outgunned by his will alone.

So was it First or Second generation Nation vessels? Because first do not use sensor dampening or jamming technology. Also, you're Capsuleers. Baseliner, no matter how strong, generally do not stand a chance in anywhere near even numbers. If it was five Nation battleships versus your Omen, maybe. But a few frigates and cruisers? Good for you I suppose. Next, tell us of your valiant efforts against a small blind child. |

Damn.
I must be blessed by God all the time, I deal with far worse odds than this quite regularly. Perhaps I should start considering myself the Fist of God's Justice....
...hm, may have to work on that title a bit more.

Check your quotes, that second one isn't mine. And I survive worse on a regular basis in my Apocalypse. I've been jammed, alone against greater numbers and wider arrays of ship class, in a mission site and just sat there happily tanking the damage while my drones picked off the offending ships.

I guess I'm blessed by god as well with the amount of amar-err... "heretic" baseliners I've killed when I took jobs from the Sebiestor Tribe... Such impossible odds killing all those slaver transports, frigates, and destroyers all of that with my humble Firetail. Even took out a Stargate once with only a Republic Fleet Hurricane. God smiles on this Sebiestor girl...

The real miracle, Brother Dex, is that you haven't gotten more people killed. Lack of situational awareness. Vessels improperly tanked to deal with common nullsec threats. Combat pilots relying on visually guided gunnery? Your battle report is nothing to brag about, indeed it probably puts Providence pilots at more risk. Predatory pilots across New Eden sniff out weakness like a Syrikos hound drawn to the smell of blood. |

I'm really too young to be saying this but.... Back in my day CVA not only kept their aars classified they didn't waste the time writing them about non events which lets be honest most non capsuleer targets are, things really have changed if they have the time to waste that that's changed,
