I wish I was awake enough to write up a proper battle report. Hopefully some pictures and a few words will do.
H-W9TY tonight was the site of an epic battle between MC and MM. We had reports of a big camp complete with a large bubble. There were ninety enemy targets in local. Sounded like a nice test for the motherships!
We jumped in our small support gang, set off a cyno and jumped in. We jumped in with two Motherships (Nyx & Aeon) and four carriers. We had roughly eighteen support, most of which ended up getting splattered in the opening 3-4 minutes. The battle report on our killboard indicates 74 enemy ships doing damage against 24 of us. Local spiked at near 140 by the time I cyno'd out.
Some pics from tonight (Note the number of enemy BS at long range):
Aeon & Nyx
Initial Jump In
Our support is slaughtered and things start to get... interesting!
Half the North starts to show up and one of our carriers is in trouble. MM has a carrier in our range now too.
Our carrier and the MM carrier die within a minute of each other.
My damage log shows that I first took damage at 22:13:25 and I warped out at 22:41:14.
For something that lasted so long, the end result was not a lot of overall kills on either side. We lost two carriers and MM lost one. We lost 90% of our support, destroyed five BS and roughly 20 support. The numbers don't really say a thing though about the actual fight. For nearly thirty minutes, there were battleships and support warping all over the place. Drones filled the air, capital ships exploding!
After our remaining two carriers jumped out, I was the last person to into warp. I lost track of the number of enemy fighters and drones my smartbombs killed. I was shot at, NosÆd, bumped and generally treated like the uninvited guest I was. Some crazy bastard in his Vagabond damn near kept me from getting into warp by bumping me as every ship present rained hell down on me. The image of countless missiles and drones chasing after my Nyx is still burned into my mind asàfinally... I got into warp. My heart damn near exploded. It was awesome!
In retrospect, we made a couple mistakes that will not be repeated again. We didnÆt expect to ôwinö but we did get more than we expected. All in all, it was well worth the effort. Best damn fight IÆve been in for ages.
Our congratulations to Morsus Mihi for scoring the first two MC capital ships killed. Good fight, guys. This fight in the North so far has been the best contract for MC since Force of Evil. Those who remember that will understand what it means.
Side note - Before anyone asks about the MC Killboard, it's been hosted on the BDCI domain for the past couple months. Within 48 hours of starting this contract, the service shut down our domain due to excessive "http processes". Seems like everyone and their mother was hitting F5 on it constantly. Basically, we may need to find a dedicated server to put the KB on and that's being sorted now. At this time, the KB is not public so we can at least record our kills and losses. We'll have it back up ASAP.

We demand fraps footage!
Love it when people use carriers on the offensive instead of hiding in a pos bubble 23/7, to bad you didn't have more support.

I think my ship lasted 10 seconds after the cyno went up. They caught on to me  . My pod hung around a bit, and I was on pins and needles listening to TS. Been awhile since a fight gave me the shakes. GF to MM.

I am glad to have been apart of this engagement and it'll be remembered. I'm looking forward to future engagements against you guys.
I ended up warping out with 25% structure in my crusader, but enjoyed listening to the intensity shared in TS

LOL!! Yeah, I did get a bit nervous near the end when I was the ONLY ship left and half the North seemed to be shooting me. In retrospect, my tank was holding just fine and it would have taken quite a bit to chew through it all. Motherships are monsters. Now I know why the Establishment Nyx hasn't been killed yet. I wonder if they've ever jumped thier ship into something like this?
I will say this - officer smartbombs 4TW. Saved my ass for sure. Nothing says, "GET OFF ME!!" like almost a thousand points of damage every 5-10 seconds.

GF from what I hear! i was on the other side of the gate. As the only bs in gang ( i was a last minute addition) I was deemed a wasteful target to jump in. The support knew they woudl die, but jumping a single bs in is silly. especially against 30 bs and that many support!!
wish I could have been there. sounded amazing. bawk!
