Note, not piracy. But i hope you enjoy reading my battle report from tonight.
To get some of our newest members some pvp experience, I set up something I'm known for, "yak's suicide fleet" for some fun and education.
Fleet consisted of:
Yakima DWB: Wolf
Lustly Bunny: Executioner
Richard Dickman: Condor
Daelin Stokeworth: Punisher
Bargost Apol: Thrasher
Starting in Teon, we jumped into Bosena, and with no gatecamp awaiting us, I started trying to teach Richard some gate mechanics, as well as how to escape from a gatecamp (with a little luck on your side). Once the rest of the fleet was ready to roam, we took our time, slowly going gate to gate, as I was hoping someone would come kill us and I could show the newer guys some of the mechanics of pvp. Explaining fleet commands as we went, we went a few more jumps into lowsec.
We were a jump or two away from a nullsec system, and I think some people were getting nervous as I had set nullsec as our destination. Before we could reach the destination, we jumped into a system that had cruisers and frigs set up to get rid of us. We scrambled to celestials, regrouped up on me as FC, and squad warped, and crashed back thru the gate. we regrouped at a celestial in the next system, and waited for a contingent of the group to follow us. once Lustly confirmed they were in warp looking for us, we went back thru into their system, and easily bypassed the 4 ships trying to camp us in.
I set a new lowsec destination, taking us close to a different nullsec entrance. With empty systems leading up to the null system, we pushed into nullsec. We got back to 0 on gate, and we sat there while I tried to find a fitting destination bottleneck system for us to blow up into pretty pixels. While I was looking for a new destination and linking it for the fleet, a Talos jumped into us. I got excited, told everyone to approach the Talos and orbit him at 500. Then gave the order to engage. He targeted the Thrasher first, and popped it with ease. He then targeted my Wolf, and started trying to track me as I orbited at 500 and ate his shields. I called to engage his drones, and as they were eating away at my ship, they started dropping. I was at 70% structure when the drone threat was handled, and we went to work on the Talos' armor. as he was slowly melting to our small weapons, a Tornado warped in (AC fit) at what I assume was within his falloff, about 35-40km. As the Talos finally popped, Lustly and I were telling the rest of the fleet to focus on the tornado. We started eating away at him, as he finally popped my Wolf. As a pod, I warped off, and Lustly saved the day and started FCing, while I tried to just bounce in system to still get to ***** on the unlikely, but possible killmail.
As the Tornado was finally close to dropping into structure, a RF Firetail showed up on grid, intent to putting an end to Lustly's Executioner. Soon after, the Talos pilot returned in a Rupture, ready for more fight.
Lustly kept fleet DPS on the tornado until it popped, warped the fleet to a celestial, and warped fleet back to gate and crashed thru, everyone setting their desto to Teon, and making best time.
Killmails:

Tornado: http://www.interstellarconvicts.killmai ... d=18434276
Lossmails:
Thrasher: http://www.interstellarconvicts.killmai ... d=18434233
Wolf: http://www.interstellarconvicts.killmai ... d=18434256
Fleet was intended to suicide, and just hope for maybe a killmail to marvel at. Instead, we not only had a ton of fun, but got some awesome kills out of it as well. My ONLY regret, one of our new members lost his thrasher before he had a lock on the Talos, therefor dying before getting on the killmail. Hopefully next time we get him a kill. Thanks for the fun guys, and I hope we have another frig roam into nullsec soon, ad next time I hope to get a kill and die so we don't have to fly all the way home |
