Seleene Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.04.04 13:03:00 - [1] * MC Contract Update * More than once I've started to write up a detailed accounting of our activities only to have the same pull me back. Basically, between RL and the pace of operations in game, I've had no time to write things up as I would like. I am, however, taking a ton of screen shots which I hope to use in a proper write-up (read that as a crazy-long "War Story" post) reflecting on our experience in this great war at a later date. For now, I'll keep this simple and focus on pure results. Detailed breakdowns of the following can be found on our kill board. In an effort to not spam this post with the numerous 'contract' and 'campaign' results, I will focus on the larger picture as much as possible. War on the North The MC accepted our original contract on the "North" back on the 25th of January. We declared an empire war on the four major alliances (D2, IRON, MM & Razor) which ran for three weeks in addition to extensive 0.0 ops that included numerous incursions into Tribute and Vale of the Silent. This contract ran for 22 days and was 'concluded' on the 16th of February. A Fatal Encounter We then accepted a short contract to assist Fatal Alliance in the new regions and, along with Outbreak, succeeded in becoming the first to down a mothership in EVE. (This contract is not included in the following results as it was for a different client and we consider it unrelated to the larger war.) AAA Defense At the same time we were killing the mothership, AAA was putting six MC starbases into reinforced in one of our home systems. In response, the MC moved nearly 70% of our capital fleet half-way across the galaxy in less than 24 hours. While this deserves its own story, and will get one after this war is done, the AAA attack was stonewalled and repelled. We lost one dread due to a pilot asking, "Is it okay to undock?" and being told yes... only he was undocking in the wrong system. BoB vs. The Mob With the AAA problem resolved for the moment, the MC took a brief time to communicate with various entities in EVE and absorb the current state of politics. This ended with us accepting an offer from Band of Brothers to officially support their efforts in the war. This contract started on the 25th of February. Our first task was operating in Querious to help finish off a series of Razor starbases in 9CG. With that completed, we moved north again and began to hit a series of D2 industrial starbases in low sec while resuming our patrols in Tribute and Vale. It was at this time that MC linked up with SERA and began working together quite closely, scoring a series of victories in both fleet and starbase actions. It seems we were a little too successful as a Coalition fleet of Dreads soon appeared in one of our home systems to abuse our poor shipyards again. This time we responded a bit differently, trusting in our client to provide the 'heavier' assets if needed while MC and our friends focused on a more conventional defense. Our efforts succeeded and the first shipyard was saved but the second fell victim to AAA the next day after downtime. While they lost five Dreads in the attempt, and almost lost twice that were it not for Evil Thug's timely use of a doomsday, we lost a baby Hel under construction. While it was a heavy blow to absorb, it was hardly crippling. There were a number of things we did wrong in that situation, all of which are being adjusted for. Northern Invasion In the aftermath of the shipyard loss, we revised our strategy and consulted with our client on our next course of action. That action resulted in our pullout of the North and our shift to a new theater: Pure Blind. Since the 24th of March, we have taken and occupied the D2 station in P-2TTL, now renamed MC Borealis, and withstood one major attempt to re-take the system. - Vid - 'P-2 Defense'
Seleene Body Count Inc. Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2007.04.04 13:03:00 - [2] Edited by: Seleene on 04/04/2007 13:05:53 What follows are the results of our efforts over the past two months on the behalf of our client. Unfortunately, these numbers do not include the 24 large (and numerous smaller) starbases we have destroyed, some of them worth 700-800 million each. These numbers also do not include the roughly 16 billion isk loss we took from our shipyard going boom with the Hel inside. Contract Results Overall NBSI Statistics This takes into account all fleet actions, Empire wars and starbase defense operations over the past two months. Our use of capital-class ships on the front lines to challenge much larger numbers is reflected in our carrier losses. Start date: 2007-01-25 Current Run Time: 69 days Kills: 6,489 Losses: 685 Damage done (ISK): 183.6 billion ISK Damage received (ISK): 34.7 billion ISK Current Efficiency: 84% Type / K / L Assault frigate / 161 / 31 Battlecruiser / 300 / 27 Battleship / 635 / 90 Capsule / 2456 /139 Carrier / 14 / 6 Command ship / 24 / 13 Covert ops / 94 / 13 Cruiser / 498 / 11 Destroyer / 47 / 4 Dreadnought / 20 / 1 Exhumer / 4 / 0 Freighter / 3 / 0 Frigate / 558 / 35 Heavy assault / 51 / 39 Industrial / 198 / 2 Interceptor / 334 / 174 Interdictor / 48 / 38 Logistics / 3 / 1 Mining barge / 11 / 0 Recon ship / 74 / 50 Shuttle / 596 / 8 Transport / 19 / 0 Northern Invasion This is our current operational contract involving our operations based out of MC Borealis. Current numbers are from the regions Pure Blind, Deklein & Fade. Special thanks to our new brothers in arms in SERA. Start date: 2007-03-24 Current Run Time: 11 days Kills: 1,183 Losses: 92 Damage done (ISK): 36.3 billion ISK Damage received (ISK): 3.1 billion ISK Current Efficiency: 92% Type / K / L Assault frigate / 45 / 5 Battlecruiser / 84 / 1 Battleship / 157/ 5 Capsule / 398 / 17 Carrier / 5 / 0 Command ship / 5 / 2 Covert ops / 14 / 3 Cruiser / 114 / 0 Destroyer / 6 / 0 Dreadnought / 2 / 0 Exhumer / 3 / 0 Frigate / 119 / 15 Heavy assault / 5 / 9 Industrial / 44 / 0 Interceptor / 44 / 26 Interdictor / 10 / 5 Mining barge / 3 / 0 Recon ship / 13 / 4 Shuttle / 75 / 0 Transport / 2 / 0 Closing Statement While we have not done all of the above alone, we've been on our own much more than many might suspect. We're in the middle of a war unlike anything else EVE has ever seen. MC pilots and Fleet Commanders have been we have been pivotal in the planning and execution of operations that now span nearly the entire EVE map. While we knew the risks going into this contract, we wonder if our current targets appreciate our single-minded devotion to fulfilling our client's wishes despite the hits we've taken. Our path is still clear - so long as we are on the job, the MC will continue to deliver results worthy of our fee. We've worked with amazing people. Our targets have fought with both courage and honor. While many say that the current conflict highlights many of the problems in EVE, I would counter by saying that it also shows many of the things that EVE gets right. Despite the lag, despite the frustrations, the last two months have surpassed any level of excitement I thought a simple 'game' could provide. And it's not over yet!! Good luck to our allies and our targets. See you all on the battlefield. P.S. - MC Pilots: Don't post in this thread. You have work to do in game. - Vid - 'P-2 Defense'

Frygok Minmatar Black Lance NBSI Alliance	Posted - 2007.04.04 13:25:00 - [17] Oh come on guys, be civil please. I always enjoy reading these battle reports, when there is a certain amount of respect for your adversary. MC is a class-act bunch of people from what I have experienced(they even gave me my first killing blow, thank you FA Avenger! ), and if I ever had to switch sides, these guys would be on the top of my list. Looking forward to the report about MC vs AAA. No doubt we differ in what happened in those particular fights.
