Hi All,
Well, I do not post that much because most of what is said around here is a bunch of Cr4p anyway.
But I can not stand bye and listen to these unfounded accusations against the C4 fleet, of which I was apart of yesterday when the 2 Xan scorps were destroyed, of cheating.
We were at the jump in side of a gate LOGGED-IN for both fights.
I was in a Frig. and we had 3 BS around the gate for the first fight a Tempest and a Scorp jumped into the system, before I could close the range to scramble the scorp he warped to the plant that was hanging over the gate. I was ordered to pursue and caught up with the Scorp as he was comming out of Warp. The Tempest was also at the same planet. Just as I had scrambled the Scorp, Tholarim arrived at the planet in his BS along with one of our Scorpion Pilots. At that point the Tempest Pilot BAILED and left his buddy. We could not beleive it. Duke arrived a couple of seconds later and we finished downing the Xan Scorp.
The big Xan blob (approx 8 on the map and we all know how accurate that is) was 2 or 3 jumps away on the map at that point. Duke then had the Battleships dispurse. When The Blob arrived and moved though I was the only one left in that system. I was still at the planet and watched them on scanner come in and go out toward GQ2.
After about 10 minutes Duke had us all get back together at the same gate. We then moved down the chain away from the Blob toward H8 trying to link up with a Dreez in his BS. In the next system, as we were getting into jump range on the gate it activated and in popped another Xan Scorp all by himself. He did get away from me (much to my shame) and managed to warp to an insta-jump book mark at the next gate. I was ordered to follow. I caught him at the next gate, I did not go hostile so that I could follow him through if he Jumped. For some reason he waited for 10 to 15 seconds before he jumped which allowed our 3 BS's to arrive.
On the other sided I did get him scrambled, our 3 ships made the jump and we caught him. 2nd Xan Scorp destroyed.
At no time did we use any kind of cheat. We simply dispursed when confronted with overwhelming numbers. And I will admit we got lucky on the 2nd one. It helped that Xan would let an E-War Scorp go around on its own through Hostile territory.
So to those Xan corp members who were not there, your corp was not cheated in any way, shape, or form by Omega Corp. Both Scorpions were killed fair and square.
And to the Xan Tempest Pilot (don't remember name). Dude you left your buddy to swing on the rope when you could have cut him down.
Thanks.
