Leopold Caine Stillwater Corporation 603	Posted - 2015.10.20 13:13:33 - [1] - Quote As of recently, we've noticed Blood Raiders have started amassing their pocket forces in so called Gauntlets, popping up in low security areas (even outside of Bleak Lands). I've single handedly ( and without anything even close to an effort ) destroyed a couple of them, finding little hints to their purpose, activity or... anything at all, besides a SKIN for a Blood Raider Abaddon and a booster - one that our Salvation Angel R&D people are already at. It seems to be some kind of a cerebral accelerant at a first glance, and time will tell if our Salvies will manage to reverse engineer something else from it. The point of this post however is trying to figure out what these Gauntlets are for - we've all heard about the attacks in the Bleak Lands, but I would've expected a task force attacking a planet wouldn't consist of such horribly equipped and trained units. Are Blood Raiders really this desperate? In any case, I'd like to announce we'll continue clearing out these so-called Gauntlets in areas of Angel interest. If anyone has any idea how is this connected to recent Bleak Lands events, or any sense of logic or reason, please do discuss below. Maybe there is some to be found, after all. Until then, I'll suppose this is the a rock bottom to which depths blind zeal sinks a fanatic. Leopold Caine, Domination Malakim Angels are never far...

I was able to retrieve a previously unknown booster. Research results pending examination. Why do bad threads happen to good people?
Utari Onzo Praetorian Auxiliary Force Praetoria Imperialis Excubitoris 722	Posted - 2015.10.20 15:02:56 - [4] - Quote Personally, I'm all the happy to destroy these installations but I won't be looking to see what these boosters do. I shall be consigning any I aquire to the nearest star's surface.

Ria Nieyli Nieyli Enterprises 34528	Posted - 2015.10.20 15:10:07 - [5] - Quote After connecting what appeared to be an advanced version of the booster to my central nervous system... it appears to do nothing at all. No positive or negative effect in functions of any kind are observed so far. Why do bad threads happen to good people?
Wendrika Hydreiga 536	Posted - 2015.10.20 15:44:27 - [6] - Quote I wonder if these boosters are too expensive... I could use a few, for research purposes of course!

Though I believe they had plans for this already in place. We've been expecting a push in Khanid for some time now. If anything, the Drifters, coupled with the political destabilization of the Empire, is why they've started this push in the Bleaks instead of Khanid. Dark Amarr: Rumors!

People say "don't touch that slaver hound, you don't know where it's been" But when it comes to YOUR BRAIN, people say "Sure, I'll connect this thing, that I don't know what it does, or where it came from, or what BRAIN CONTROLLING SPYWARE is on it, to my actual brain that keeps my mind from leaking all over the floor" And that's how the aliens will get you. If actual freaking aliens appeared, and asked you to insert god knows what into your brain, capsuleers would be all "I'll take TWO!" And then another capsuleer would be all "2? I'll take 9!" And then the fighting starts. All over the right to shove unknown things into your brain. Doctor V. Valate, Professor of Archaeology at Kaztropolis Imperial University.

We do seem to have a lot of people who don't mind plugging strange things into their rigs, if not straight into their brains. That's maybe sort of understandable: most of our technology is stuff we recovered and reverse-engineered from somewhere else and we don't fully understand even now. Still, with the likes of Kuvakei about, it doesn't seem very clever, or even, really, brave. Mostly, just reckless.

Quattras Peione Vagrant Skies A Band Apart. 167	Posted - 2015.10.21 04:19:42 - [28] - Quote A pretty standard armor-fit Ishtar makes short work of the camps. I fit downsized autocannons into the high power slots to chew through the frigate contingent on the gate, then once in drop sentries to kill their FC. Once the leader is taken out I move on - the line members scatter without leadership, and it's leader kills that I'm after. As for the items retrieved from these encampments, I have sold all. I have no use for an Abaddon nanocoating, and To be frank I don't trust these boosters, certainly not enough to turn down the hundred million or so I can sell each one for. Dr. Quattras Alvar Peione No, I'm not that kind of doctor.

Or you may find a lot of volunteers from careless capsuleers who totally deserve it.

Haria Haritimado Itsukame-Zainou Hyperspatial Inquiries Ltd. 118	Posted - 2015.10.21 11:29:42 - [34] - Quote Fellow pilots, I was a bit surprised to discover no less than six of those 'Gauntlet' pockets in a C3 with C5 and Null Security space static wormholes. However, the wormhole system was known to show presence of Blood Raider installations in the past. The cultist's offensive does really seem to affect the whole cluster. It would be interesting to know if they did advance into wormhole systems formerly unoccupied by Blood Raiders; maybe even into shattered wormholes.

Elyia Suze Nagala Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 32	Posted - 2015.10.22 12:02:13 - [35] - Quote Okay ran several of them yesterday in Ammatar space. All sites had 1 initial set of 5 frigates and 2 additional waves of 5 frigates at the gate. Upon destruction of the final frigate (#15) the gate can be used. The inner room had 5 cruisers and 1 battlecruiser, plus one subsequent wave of 5 cruisers which do not have to be destroyed for loot. Its important to note in the second room, the battlecruiser can be taken out first. It is the only ship to my knowledge the ever yielded any loot. The rest did not. I should also disclose that the only times I saw loot were the 2 time that I shot down the bunker and chapel in the gate room (first room/warp in point). I don't know that it had anything to do with it but just worth mentioning. As for damage stats I never really track of them but the frigates are easily destroyed and tanked. If you can tank the cruisers long enough to destroy the battlecruiser then there's no reason you can't just simply leave afterwards. Also there does not appear to be size restrictions on the gate.
