Hehe... so the actual battle reports for the night.
Bob first gets word that the Goonies (A.D.D. as they are)
are trying to work on finishing RISE again. We're very bored and amass a fleet of 55 to go down and take em on. No clue what goons have and expecting the normal 150, intel starts flowing in. Our fleet quicky arrives 5 jumps out of destination after a short speed bump on the way were we killed a lot of local Catch hostiles.
Intel comes back in, Goon gang of about 85, 1 jump from you, they know there's a roaming gang of something like 30-40 out there. Apparently, they figured their numbers are good enough and don't really press their eyes. Low and behold, we quickly arrive on their gate, half our fleet jumps into them.
Half the goons panic and engage, the other half turn tail and dive for the gate. "goon Brotherhood ftw".. oh yeah, and pandemic magically Safes... good job once again guys. Bob spends the next 20-30 min mopping up everything in site, something like 30 odd ships seen between the 6 killboards.. its' tough to scout them all. Bob and friends... 0 losses as far as I can see.
Goon forum spams go out to amass more people... the evil bobbits have come and struck us down. It's late and we really didn't plan to go back again.
Round 2 was just shear fun. GBC amasses a 45 man fleet, runs back down to feyth, another 31 jumps. This time, we know the goons have a spy on our ts, goons gang is 120, and have some carriers around. Rise has 35 on as well. Cool!
This 2nd GBC gang is like 25 hac size, and 5 bs, rest whatever. Goons have about 25 bs and support. Rise has about 7 bs, and support. We go in again, 2 diff gangs. Rise come to join us in p8, 1 system away. goons start flooding RIT with whatever can get there from the 3 systems they had people in.
Gate in RIT has about 70 hostiles, our gang is a bit scattered due to a pesky PL dictor. "F it, everyone on the gate jump in. Rest of you get in asap." "hold cloak, whoops, i somehow decloak... ok time to start the fight" By the time the entirety of the goon fleet took me down, we had a good 10 of their support down or dieing. By the time my pod warped out and back in, the entire support gang for the enemy was dead or warped off the gate.
After this, we had a few whoops moments again where we couldn't reposistion well. "Oh well, keep shooting." Numbers turn, and 4 outta our 5 bs were dead, so time to bail. We then crash the gate again, dunno why it wasn't bubbled, and jump through on contact. People misunderstand align for warp and start leaving... Whoops agian. So we skirmish a lil, goons forget to kill LadyScarlet, and even forget their terrific local humor about her. Surely we just got pwned.
So I start to review boards and things look soso. And then better, and then really good. All in all, I think the 2nd fight was roughly even on losses, maybe a tad in either sides favor. We talk to our fleet, work out the whoopses so they don't happen again, and then travel home with lots of laughs.
One thing's for sure, Goons are so easy to stir up on the forums, all I have to do is say hello.
i just farted
