SirMolle Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.12.12 16:40:00 - [1] Edited by: SirMolle on 12/12/2006 16:42:17 Combat Report - Fall of a Titan ---- In response to the capture of 00YZ-G by Band of Brothers, ASCN assembled a force of ten Dreadnaughts and lay siege into the lone C9N starbase at approximately 03:00 GMT, which had been errected some nights before. The starbase was successfully put into reinforced. The following morning, ASCN prepared to follow through with its siege. The bulk of the BoB forces assembled itself in 00YZ-G where it set out to reinforce those fighting in C9N-CC. In C9N-CC, an ASCN camp of approximately 35 battleships and 30 support sat on the X-7 gate with approximately 45 BoB on the other side. Both Titan pilots were logged in by this point. A suicide cyno pilot was sent in by BoB to let Shrike jump into their camp, but failed to survive. As a result of the destroyed cyno, shrike was hurled into a random position within the system. Shrike then aligned for the hostile gate camp and warped. Expecting this, ASCN forces began warping to a position 400km off the gate. Shrike dropped out of warp and incinerated approximately 11 battleships. ASCN support fleet warped back in attempt to hold the BoB Avatar but lost much to his 10km smartbomb, ASCN battleship fleet soon followed to a sniper position and began attacking Darwin's Contraption. As this was happening, BoB forces jumped through from X-7 system. Support craft were ordered to keep enemy support off the Titan. Battleships were ordered to warp out and reposition on top of the enemy fleet. The main fleet battle of the day ensued, where an Interdictor managed to trap eight more ASCN battleships. Shrike sat on the gate, camping, and was joined by KSUDruid's Wyvern. As the support fleet was collecting from wrecks, ASCN regrouped at extreme range. Traffic's superfast crow managed to get near enough for friendly covert ops to set up 70km from them. Moments later a cynosural field was opened at the gate, and CYVOK used his Doomsday. Due to our maneuver, it only managed to kill one friendly Raven, one friendly Zealot, and one ASCN Scorpion. However, we were only able to kill a couple support before their fleet warped out. Meanwhile in Fountain STK Scientific Dreadnaughts, accompanied by its local allies, attempted an assault of POS in Y-2ANO once again. In this engagement however, BoB carriers and Xelas Dreadnaughts downed three STK Dreads along with one Celestial Apocalypse carrier. Weeks of hauling and preparation for STK's invasion of Fountain ended in the loss of half their capital fleet, for no BoB pos destroyed. Their goal was simple; to take the station and force a two-front war. Shortly after, the starbase in Y-2ANO was put into reinforced, and STK anchored another in response. After CYVOK's timid use of the Doomsday device, BS and Hacs were ordered to regroup at POS as support roamed. Shrike had gone to refuel. In the meantime, Valora ran continuous scans and on the third one discovered an Avatar 90au out. He confirmed that Shrike was not at the POS, and assumed it was the friendly ship. Upon reporting to Shrike, he was told it was not his. Moments later the ship was scanned down. The covert ops pilot had been keeping track of when the DD was fired, and discovered that CYVOK had logged with two minutes to spare on his aggro timer. The entire fleet was warped in, dreadnaughts, carriers, and motherships included. After the dreads had entered into siege, the ship took approximately 4-6 minutes to kill. Valora then probed down the pod, and CYVOK was sent to his clone station. I managed to scoop the corpse in my Deimos, and am still sitting in C9N at pos, 7 hours later.. too afraid to log or leave for fear of losing it.
SirMolle Evolution Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.12.12 16:41:00 - [2] Edited by: SirMolle on 12/12/2006 16:55:45 Immediately after killing the titan, Shrike was given the killmail and made the historic post on Eve Online forums two minutes later. He then posted the link into local; initial ASCN reaction was that it was a lie. Virtuozzo was allowed to enter our gang, where he warped to the wreckage in his Rokh to confirm. He made it out alive without incident. Shortly after, CYVOK logged on (in JO-) and filed a petition. Within the first fifteen minutes, multiple stories came in; - He had CTDed at POS (this one came from a Species 5618 director on their forums, who "confirmed it") - He experienced a power failure (this one came from CYVOK himself) - He was experiencing difficulties with his computer, and had decided to relog from another (this was the first one, and presumably what CYVOK told them on TS before dying) In all likelyhood, the third one sounds most accurate, as it came through channels before ASCN knew what had happened. Which means he had logged out deliberately, and unaware of game mechanics. To people still wondering - he had 2 minutes left on combat aggro, which means it resets, and you stay in space for another 15 minutes. To cull any further rumours, there were several plans formulated to kill CYVOK, but in the end elaborate strategy was undone by the pilot's apparent lack of understanding of game mechanics.To put it into perspective, 53 ASCN owned capital ships have been downed so far in this war. Of those, the Titan alone is worth as much as the other 52. For his spectacular timing and persistance, Valora/Superbeast/Kaltes was promoted to the rank of Centurion. Writing credits; Digitalcommunist Storytelling; Valora Myself, i was there, and get to give the orders, and managed to get stuck on a corpse and could not warp... Next one we hope will go down guns blazing.

Rutoo Gallente Interstellar eXodus R0ADKILL	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:27:00 - [12] Originally by: Valora Originally by: Crohnx cyvok loged after 15min agro timer. dd was set off @ 18:13-18:14 , he loged around 18:31-18:32 , agro timer was off Hi, the DD went off at 18:14. I got my first scan result on the Titan at 18:28 and CYVOK was offline. Not much else to it! Just was about to say that Slender Brenda in the raven was last killed by cyvok at 18:14 Titan Killed at 18:36:00 Oops _________________________________________________________ My First EvE Video Club Seals Not Sandwichs

Lowa Gallente North Star Networks	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:31:00 - [15] I approve of this report. Good stuff indeed! But, I have to ask, was it stuck on a corps or stuck in a corpse? Regards, Lowa What if the truth was something else?

August Personage Caldari Clarf Inc	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:31:00 - [17] Originally by: Crohnx still ship should dissapear in next 1min than not afaik, if logged out before the 15mins aggro was up, he would stay in space for another 15mins, i think.
Zrevak Ashek RONA Corporation	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:31:00 - [18] Originally by: Crohnx still ship should dissapear in next 1min than No, if he logs off before the aggression timer is over, it resets to another 15 mins. Much like when you are aggressed after shooting someone in low sec and wait for 14 mins, then decide to jump into a nearby system. It resets and you're back to 15 mins again.
Taedrin Gallente Mercatoris Technologies	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:32:00 - [19] What's so kudos for BoB getting the Titan kill? I'm sure BoB agrees that it would have been much more interesting if the Titan went down with guns blazing.

Major Stormer Caldari Red Storm Vendetta	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:34:00 - [21] Interesting read. All seems as if CYVOK had some clear IRL problems on his end, if they was comp or power problems, which is a shame. Thanks for the well written write up. Red Storm Vendetta is now recruiting!

Svett Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:34:00 - [22] Proof that the DD went off at 18:14 can be found on the bob killboard. Look under losses for "slender brenda". ----- Congratulations. You just ****ed EDF off. I hope you're prepared for the consequences. - John Mccreedy
Crellion Art of War Anarchy Empire	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:35:00 - [23] Is it accurate, from an eve0lore point of view, to say that other than the thousands of dead ASCN capsuleers, CYVOK's lack of... combat readiness lets say, also caused the deaths of the millions of innocent souls that had only recently taken up high paid career positions in the first ever Titan class ship? snip-Tirg (deleted RL references) (PS Molle listen man: I ll edit you on the Impoc kill if you edit me on the Titan kill... and I ll give you 3 exotic dancers too gratz...) Arguably my opinions represent to an extent the opinions of my alliance and in particular circumstances give rise to a valid "casus belli" claim.
Nez Perces Amarr Black Spot.	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:38:00 - [24] Edited by: Nez Perces on 12/12/2006 17:38:17 Originally by: Taedrin What's so kudos for BoB getting the Titan kill? I'm sure BoB agrees that it would have been much more interesting if the Titan went down with guns blazing. A kill, is a kill, is a kill. EVE's first publicly announced titan is dead, BoB killed it. Thats the accomplishment. Its a very simple concept to understand... whether it went down with guns blazing or not is irrelevant, it still went BOOM. The mere fact that it happened at all and so soon, makes it even more interesting.

Learn something new everyday. Is this documented anyware? I lost a Tempest to BOB forces that way quite some time ago. About 30 seconds left of my aggression timer, logged off at POS and went to bed, came back and found myself in a station. A corpm8 of mine lost his Carrier in the same manner when I was'nt online to warn him about that. We both thought, at the time, that the aggression timer was as good as over and we woul'nt have to worry about getting probed. It could be a bug or it could be gamemechanics. As I understand, it was gamemechanics, so no reimbursement.
Firane Band of Builders Inc. Firmus Ixion	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:46:00 - [29] The lesson learned should be: wait 20 minutes to log. Problem solved. Nice work Valora ----------
Maule Amarr Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.12.12 17:47:00 - [30] Edited by: Maule on 12/12/2006 17:50:41 Originally by: Crohnx cyvok loged after 15min agro timer. dd was set off @ 18:13-18:14 , he loged around 18:31-18:32 , agro timer was off By 18.32 he was at about 80% amor and 18.33 he was at about 20-30% ammor, 18.34 he was at about 70% hull I¦d say, All of this can be seen on some of the many sreenshots taken and made public so no he didn¦t log out at either 18.31 or 18.32 but he logged before that and therefore he still had aggro when he logged... You can see in this movie that he was into armor at 18.32 if you cba to check the ss¦s at 18.32
