I had a 10 man gang chasing my alts single harbinger with afterburner fitted once.
It all started with me jumping to a gate. There were some battleships, nano hacs and other ships that were bound to make my day miserable. I waited at gate knowing they would jump with me to other side should I jump. So I aligned for a celestial and tried to warp. A few seconds later and I was scrammed, webbed and they started pounding on me. Most battleships agressed and my armor went down fast.
I waited until I was in low armor and finally made the jump. I atleast one ship followed me to the other side. I decided to go for the gate again. Turns out I made the correct decision as a vaga pilot wasn't slow pointing me as soon as he uncloaked. I burned towards the gate with my t1 afterburner doing some 500ms at the most. Vaga tried to bump me of my destination but failed. Gate activated several times more ships were inbound. A curse uncloaked but before he had time to close range on me I was in jump range. They tried bumping me of the gate but failed, and I jumped to the other side again were the battleships were still sitting.
Having a few seconds to think while cloaked I noticed atleast 1 ship close enough to scram me. Damn amarr gates! I had to approach the gate again with afterburner. Few seconds after uncloaking I'm not only scrammed but also dual webbed 8km off the gate by an uncloaking rapier I hadn't seen before. I still had some momentum left and approached the gate maybe 1 km more. I started to care about getting my pod out safely when a curse bumps me, as if kicking someone lying down. But.. He bumped me into jump range! So I jump again.
Now its just me and the vagabond pilot from before. He was 35km away from me. Now was my one and only chance. I tried to warp alas he pointed me before I had time to align. But.. he went into web range upon approaching me. So I webbed and scrammed him and unloaded with my t1 beams and send my drones at him. Didn't seem he had the best tank and he was going down fast, but not fast enough the gate was activating and more ships jumped in. In hopes that the vaga still would pop before his friends arrived I aligned to a planet, and kept firing on the vaga. The vaga pilot must have panicked when his tank was failing so fast so when he finally got out of web range he went some 50km away. At the same time a curse came in and nanod against me, I just made it into warp before he got within scram range.
Now a new problem arose. The system I was in had no stations and only 3 gates all very close to one another. I had PvP timer so I couldn't logg. And they had a prober. I made a safespot only to find local had all ready filled up with the hostile gang camping all gates out. I waited in my safespot just a few minutes before noticing a vagabond getting very close on my scanner, at the same time all ships but a curse left the gate I was aligned to. I warped there and quickly jumped the curse followed me to the other side. I hit warp to top station as soon as screen loaded. Curse uncloaked and nanod towards me. In the very same second as he got in scram range I warped off to the stations safety.
One of my most hectic and fun moments in EvE, even if no one died, and I was the very lucky victim all along. |
