Originally by: Andur'il Had a good little battle just yesterday outside station in Dodixe. Earlier in the day I came out in my missioning CNR only to see a rival corp member in his Taranis lock me and start circling. We both had a bit of lag due to another battle going on outside station so decided to call it off til later.
A few hours pass and again I see him on local, so I figure I'll bait a little trap. I take my old regular missioning Raven, kit it for PvP, and undock so he thinks I'm coming out in a mission ship again. He's sitting off at about 120km and immidiately comes at me. I pretend to ignore him and just wait for him to tackle.
He targets at about 20km off, and once I lock on in return I think to myself "Gotcha!" as he now finds out I'm kitted up for a fight and he's webbed and warp jammed! As I'm taking him out, another rival corp member appears on local and warps in, then another and another. So much for my little trap, they were the ones trapping me!
I'm now in a very basic PvP Raven setup, ready to take on a helpless Taranis, and I've now also got a Drake, Vagabond and Vexor locked on and slowly pummeling me. The Taranis goes pop just after the others have me locked down so there's no chance to run. I've got the Vagabond locked and well within jamming range so I start taking him down. Surprisingly his tank doesn't hold up too well and he's going down pretty quickly. I'm now deciding whether to go for the Vexor next or the Drake. The Drake is sitting off at 40km so I figure if I can take care of the Vexor I might be able to warp out.
The Vaga pops and I switch attention to the Vexor which again doesn't last too long, but the Drake uses this time to come within jamming range. As the Vexor goes down in flames I'm down to about 1/5 armour against the remaining Drake. My Damage Control II helps me out for as long as it can, but ultimately I fall to the onslaught of CN Havoc heavy missiles.
All up it was a good, clean fight. The main decision I would make differently was taking the old mission running Raven out for PvP as it was fitted with 3 CCC rigs! Should have just bought another Raven for the fight at hand. Although I am left wondering how my Astarte would have held up, I didn't use it because I wanted the Taranis to think I was on my way to run a mission. Guess I'll find out next time!
