Necronomicon Caldari KIA Corp KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:01:00 - [1] Be kind, my first attempt at doing this... The planà A simple trap, a choice piece of bait, and a quarry that had shown their cards before. Oh Rly? Yesterday, a plan was hatched to deal a blow to the Outbreak Corporation; these villainous vagabonds had been raping and pillaging in the curse region for a while, and patience was wearing thin. The plan was simple, and perfect, yet also massively flawed from the outset, the crossing of the tÆs and dotting of the iÆs were to be our undoing. The original plan was to bait Outbreak, not a hard thing to do as Outbreak like biting, but our timing was a bit off. The target system was Litom, where Tyrrax would run around screaming like a schoolgirl until he was tackled. Upon sufficient force being applied to his Archon, he would drop a cyno, and we would land and assist in the destruction of tackling forces. Add to this that both IAC and KIA had support fleets in close proximity; we felt we had ensured victory. How wrong we wereà Outbreak refused to be drawn into any confrontation in Litom, and Tyrrax jumped into Utopia to æpoke the hornetÆs nestÆ and poke it he did, very well. At the Utopia to Litom jumpgate, we got word that Tyrrax had been tackled (15:18), and that his support was under fire, ; for a while he tussled with the smaller localsàthenàwe got reports that two Thanatos class carriers, and much to our surprise, two dreadnoughts being a Phoenix and a Moros had undocked. We waited, we knew that unseiged dreads would be able to escape, and we wanted them trapped. ôPhoenix in Siege, CYNO UPö 15:38 We jumpedà.we waitedàand waited, then the screen loaded up. I see more than 4 enemy caps on my screenà.wtf??? Outbreak were onto us, not us, but the idea that someone would be up for taking on their capital fleet. Hindsight teaches us not to run around our enemyÆs back yard shouting ôhere I am, come get meö We were outgunned, and in the opening seconds, very much outnumbered. Our screens were filled with 4 digit sig radiuses, and this was only the caps. Outbreak were on the case. The gates went, and local was filling up, the support had arrivedà.. IAC had pledged a fleet of smaller ships to the fray, mainly for tackling duties from the north. KIA had a fleet of battleship which were heading in from the south, but had been held in dock until the last possible moment. The next hour deserves its own thread, but I am sure others will be able to add to what I saw. The main capital arena was on the gate, or very close to it, and the sheer amount of drones and fighters made any form of normal flight impossible. KIA/IAC carriers were able to deploy fighters and start attacking an Outbreak Thanatos. His shields went fast, but then we hit the wall that was his armour, it just was not going down. The Outbreak support turned up. A group of sniper battleships warped in at approx 180-200km and started on our fighters. Necro saw his fighters drop 8à7..6..5..4..3..2..1, deployed moreà8..7..then he started taking dread fire. This was not the plan. KIA support turned up, but they were setup for close range, and did not have a firing solution for the sniping fleet. Ships who tried to approach the enemy snipers were quickly dispatched. We needed another angle. Eddz decided that his carrier was not doing enough to warrant his involvement in the capital side of things, and took his Chimera to a station where he was able to unload his Vagabond and go back with the support fleet. From this side of things, we started to make headway. Eddz was able to pinpoint the enemy snipers and direct our support onto their locations. On this front, our close range fleets were able to deal a crushing blow to the Outbreak non-cap fleetsà Down below though, at the gate, the story was very differentà. The Outbreak Capital fleet was overwhelming, and our combined capital fleets were no match. 16:07 the first IAC Thanatos fell, we were on the back foot. Carlsberg dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them.
Necronomicon Caldari KIA Corp KIA Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:02:00 - [2] 16:17 And an IAC Naglfar succumbs to the Outbreak Dreads, the space is alive with fightersà 16:23 and an Outbreak Moros falls to the KIA/IAC fleet, but this was only a short lived break, cap numbers on both sides had been growing, but ours were still outnumbered at least 2:1. IAC drops in more Dreads and carriers, another IAC Carrier falls, this time an Archon. 16:32 and IAC lose a Revelation; the capital balance is leaning more and more towards the Outbreak gang. Even though the support fight is still being raged above, we are losing this fightà 16:36 and another IAC carrier falls, this time a Chimera. All our efforts to save ships were thwarted by repeated system messages ôThe ship is not in range of your remote armour/shield repsö Damn it!!! 3 times we had ships sat alongside us only to have our nav systems decide it was not close enough. (Only gripe btw). By now, our capital ships were fighting to survive, some additional IAC capitals had been drafted in, but it was too late, this fight was doneà Remaining allied capital ships were getting out; TyrraxÆs Archon remained in the fight throughout, and received over 9 million damage. Every time a pilot called out, he was there providing support. By now, the support fight was over, KIA and IAC had taken out most of the Outbreak support, and for a short time were able to pikey their way around the field of play, but this was Outbreak Country and we were soon ordered to vacate before further allied losses were encountered. The last scuffles took place at approx 17:00hrs eve time. For me, this was the largest and most involving encounter I have ever been privileged to be part of. My respect for Outbreak AND IAC has increased ten fold. For KIA, we are going to look at today as a pre-cursor to this contract. Outbreak brought it, and we want to bring it backàand then someà KIA outàfor now. Carlsberg dont make Eve Pilots, but if they did, i wouldnt be one of them.

Heraklitus Nomidzon 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:16:00 - [7] That's a pretty accurate description of what went on. I was the Phoenix pilot. I'll have to tell you, my blood was pumping like crazy, especially once our support starting being taken apart. I remember at one point my overview was just filled with hostiles knowing that me and fellow cap ship pilots had little support for a few minutes there. KIA showing up really had us worried there for a bit. Tyrrax, that lucky, lucky man. . . we had his archon in structure after wailing on him for just forever, but our lack of tackling at the moment he was going down made it impossible for us to keep him in place. He got away. 9 million sounds right. That was just one of the most intense, fun battles I have ever been in. It made the months of training for dread skills absolutely worth it. I think what made the whole thing possible was that both sides thought the other side had fewer capitals than they did. The ante got upped in a major way that neither side was really prepared for, and the result was just a huge slugfust of carnage that most Eve players dream of participating in.

Muadeeb Ousil Minmatar Office linebackers Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:31:00 - [12] Edited by: Muadeeb Ousil on 14/05/2007 17:32:57 It was worth losing my first Rapier in a long, long time as bait to open that encounter... If only i got a solid hook in Litom as planned. Maybe next time who knows... Either way i couldnt think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon that dosnt involve something that is certificate 18 material Minor input here on the battlefield, I know the OB Moros had a domination Webber and Disruptor onboard when it was blown and it seems they didnt get it back from the can and it was not on the km. OB managed to control the capital ship fight but couldnt keep its support fleet in place for more than a few mins before it was attacked and driven off so in theory i suspect a lot of IAC/Freinds managed to get quite a few cans looted as the fight progressed over the hour or two that the fight lasted.
Krugerrand 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.05.14 17:32:00 - [13] We could tell from the offset it was a trap, but hadn't expected KIA to show up. When we first went in to kill the few support ships Tyrrax had with him I immediately jumped through to Litom in my claymore to, ahm, scout. Local exploded to 20-30 and we gathered this was the bulk of IAC support. Decision was made to just go for it and I logged onto my alt since I didn't think I could get myself out of Litom, for the most part our sniper fleet did a good job but Eddz made it increasingly difficult, at one stage we thought KIA were leaving the field (coupled with your caps leaving), only for you to warp ontop of us, warp out was issued but due to an alignment issue (overview lag meant I had clicked through it) I wasn't able to get out. So I switched back to Krug, jumped into litom, got jammed in my claymore and decided to go get my Nag..so I had the chance to enjoy both sides of the 2 hour battle. We suffered from a lack of small support to hold you guys down and co-ops, from the fact that we had a lot of guys logging on and just joining in, Tyrrax's carrier was 4km out of scrambler range! Considering how badly outnumbered we were, we are very happy with the result, despite our support taking heavy losses in comparision to the other kills its nothing too big. Lag for me was fine, some of our members complained of a few minutes warp in lag. Good fight!

Dash Ripcock 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:21:00 - [18] That's a great write up. Being someone who missed it, I am grateful for a fair account from the other side. By the way, a little bird tells me that someone in OB has FRAPs of the fight. I might be willing to give details for some badger skins... Outbreak - The Movie
Xaarist FinFleet	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:26:00 - [19] sounds like fun was had by both sides, can not get any better. and an excellent writeup as well. ---------------- (\_/) (O.o) (> <) This is an alien dressed as Bunny to secretly gain world domination. ...if you don't know Happy Tree Friends, just imagine Teletubbies on LSD...
Mattduk Gallente Universal Army	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:34:00 - [20] That was an awesome report Necro. I've just read it aloud to an audience on TS, and they were whooping and cheering for more when I finished. Excellent suspense, and the timeline really helps understand what is happening. No matter who won, that was a fun read. Well done mate. Best regards Mattduk
Myz Toyou Black Lance NBSI Alliance	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:43:00 - [21] I guess that the neutral travelers that jumped in from Litom looked like what a gatecamp CYVOK > All you station jockies better get out their and start killing these idiots

Chaomos Skynard The Flaming Sideburn's Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:54:00 - [24] Now that is what I call a good battle report. Hope others take note. Sounds like you guys had fun, was in the area at the time (Derelik) and wondered what the commotion was about. Then thought it was related to the BOB Titan only 3 jumps away from you guys. Now that would have been interesting!
Marko Debreault 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.05.14 18:59:00 - [25] While I respect the ops point of view, this isn't even close to how I remember it. It went like this: Marko: "Ooooh! Mrs Robinson! Why you naughty thing! You can't mix the butter and the chocolate until the roux is hot! Otherwise the fondue will burn!" Mrs. Robinson, breathlessly: "Oh Mr. Debreault, I would never! Please ... please don't spank me ... not with the ... turnip twaddler!" Marko: "I am not a potted plant, to be told whether or not I should spank you with a turnip twaddler!" Mrs. Robinson: "You'll always be my vesseled vegetable, Mr. Debreault!" Yea, I chose the wrong day to sleep in.
Dash Ripcock 0utbreak	Posted - 2007.05.14 19:33:00 - [26] Oh. My. God. Turnip Twaddler? Outbreak - The Movie

Wanux Timetravel Enterprises Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.05.14 20:43:00 - [29] Wow what a fight. Just dropping a quick note to say it was a great fight, sweating profusely the whole time. High point of it was being chased in my Mega by a Nos'ing Thanatos. Pure comedy gold. Lag was evil, every warp-in I got 10-15 seconds of not seeing any ships or anything. Modules didn't seem to lag too badly though. Mad props to KIA and Outbreak for making it the most fun in a good long while.
Duun Suhuy Incognito Inc	Posted - 2007.05.14 21:00:00 - [30] I think my squad felt the lag of this battle all the way in providence 0_o Awesome write-up, sounds like a blast! ----- Duun Suhuy Incognito Inc
