Me and my corpmate managed to kill a megathron last night in 0.4 space. Which usually isnt a big deal it happens all the time. But we were in a mere cruiser and bc. I was flying an arbitrator and he was using a railgun ferox. First my friend sent in a tackler kessie in his alt to scram and web. Then he and I warped in and opened fire. We thought we were toast and had already planned on dieing. But the megas shields steadily dropping told us otherwise. I sent my meds on him and my buddy sent out his lights. A bs should easily tank 10 drones, cruiser and bc fire. We brought him down without him inflicting more than 25% on my corpmates shields. When we checked his can we found out why, He was using heavy missiles and 250mm railguns! His character was less than a month old and he was flying a mega. Granted this was a lesson to him but I felt guilty. His ship was insured so we told him basicly to get more skills before he flies bs, especially in low sec, and we gave him 20mil to help for insurance and his loot back. (First time in history I know) Moral is! Dont fly a bs unless you can use the proper equipment! Anyways I thought it was kinda interesting so I posted it. Hopefully new players read this and think twice before they slap those heavy missiles and med turrets on battleships.

I wouldn't have given him anything... You're not teaching him a lesson if you compensate for his losses.

We took one to half armor not long ago with a rifter, merlin and crusader. We had to abandon the fight when I (rifter) and the merlin ran out of ammo.

Ouch, that sucks.
I got lucky and found a stupid ISK-farmer in my Rupture once, he logged after I had attacked + scrambled him, that was a nice BS kill in my Cruiser, but not much of say... a challenge!  -- Piewat! Low SP piracy Now with more stories and small clips! |

Good times :)

If the guy is less than a month old, and flying a mega, he doesnt deserve to be given 20mil back, heck you should of transferred it to me.
I cant really say much though, as this char aint even a month old an in a BC, but its for 0.0 ratting purpose only, to build money/skills so in-time i can eventually get my Command Ship i been setting my eyes on..
Maybe he was a miner who spent all his money on a Mega, or maybe hes an alt, still you dont pay people money if they are in a BS, a frgi ye maybe spare 1mil compo if your feeling charitable...

People who fly bs without even basic skills how to do that should be punished.
In my experince i have 2 cases worth mentioning about this: 1) once took down geddon who was fitted with medium lasers in my thorax. was nice solo kill, which got my blood pumping again. 2) soon after kali came in 0.0 took down rokh together with corpmate. i was in ranis, corpmate in ishkur. too bad rokh pilot pressed self destruct and ship exploded before we managed to get killmail. was so close, he was already in structure. was happy that at least pod didnt get away :) ____________________

I killed a newb in a Megathron the other day in my Thorax. A few weeks ago I was in a Ruppie, and a corpmate in a Arbitrator, and we took down a Armagedon (not piloted by a newb.) Taking out Battleships really isn't that difficult.

Edited by: Zardenim on 06/01/2007 16:51:56 I tried to take on a Maelstrom mining in hisec with my Kestrel the other day but he was afk. :(
I mean, I technically had enough ammo in the hold to kill him, and I was bored...

Edited by: Robimus on 06/01/2007 17:06:09 I once engaged 7 semi noobs in a blaster brutix. The first engagement lasted about 15 minutes, a lot of warping in and out later and the aftermath was as follows.
2 ravens 1 mega 1 tempest 1 brutix 1 thorax 1 vexor and 1 incursus
here is a link to podbase with all the posted kills. http://podbase.com/index.dxd?id=robimus&type=u&n=2006.12.01%2001:54 They had a few more bs's chasing me around but I had run out of cap boosters at that point and could not sustain my tank. All in all it was one of the most fun solo engagements I have ever had.

incursus, rifter, condor vs. a cruise-typhoon.
i (the rifter) never had to turn on my armor repper, and we killed the guy.
people in bs's are idiots a large percentage of the time.

BSes aren't uber, even a frigate can kill a BS if he has the SP/setup and a bit of luck that the BS in question lacks SP/setup/experience.

When we warped out, we tried to be friendly and have a laugh with him in local, but he insisted on being a smacktard. Went on for about 10 minutes how he was too uber for us noobs to take down

I once took down a ecm II'd scorp in my ferox .. he had cruise and nos but couldn't break my tank and my fof's ate through his shields and 1600 plate tank pretty good. Took me seven and a half minutes (still got the vid) but it was nice.

We took down a fully t2 fitted mega in 0.0 a few weeks ago. Wasme in a rifter, 3 in inties and a rupture. He went down real quick, and we realsuied why after...
He was shield tanking...untill his shield tank broke, then he tried armour tanking

Took a Raven to about 20% structure in my Rupture (oh it rhymes), then he decided to use his 2 wcs and warped out. No challenge really, 24 days old player sporting mining lasers, light missiles and 3 drones.

One thing ppl have to realise about low sec especially is that about 80% of bs u find ratting are complete retards when it comes to fittings and skills.
Because of this you can get some awesome fights. i attacked 2 domis, a brutix, myrmidon and rifter in my myrmidon the other day and killed all of them but the last domi who got me eventually. all crummy fittings and young players which you can get some really fun fights from when they're in numbers.

Would the system where this happened of been in a region thats starts with Q? If so the raven pilot was a mate of mine and he was using torps not cruise. And it was the day after the missile 'nerf' so he had none of the new missiles skills. I remember that day well, 3 of us were heading up the pipe to help him and we all got stuck on each jump 
But still, there were 'lols' in allaince chat

This works both ways though, a curse thought my raven was an easy pray... The last thing he said before he went -boom- was "Zyrtan Keb'Lektar > ffs i was in warp."... 
Don't think he'll try a raven anytime soon, and to think I was waiting for a corp member to arrive to scramble him (I actually stopped firing at him for a short bit, to extend the fight)... I did start firing again though when my cap ran out, after that shields did start to go down a bit too fast for my taste (his armor went quicker though)...
My raven pilot might 'only' be 6-7 months old, but has had a +3 set in her head since birth and trained nothing but raven-related skills. So watch out, not every 6-7 month old player is a noob with mining barge level 5.

very true. although any curse that thinks a raven is an easy kill is a noob also

His ship was insured so we told him basicly to get more skills before he flies bs, especially in low sec, and we gave him 20mil to help for insurance and his loot back. (First time in history I know) Moral is! Dont fly a bs unless you can use the proper equipment! Anyways I thought it was kinda interesting so I posted it. Hopefully new players read this and think twice before they slap those heavy missiles and med turrets on battleships.
