Our fleet forms up at around 23:00, and moves towards NDH to protect some friendly POS, but alas when we arrive two jumps out, the enemy fleet outnumbers us 80-40à So we move back to PNQ and start to form a new fleet, eventually we get 75 people and move towards NDH again, but when we get back to B170, the hostile fleet has risen to well over 100, and split between a remote-rep or close-gank gang sat on the in gate, and a sniper fleet off the in gate in 6VDT. Hell, their sniper fleet equals ours, anything else they have is just a bonus!
So we sit on either side of the gate, our fleet sets up 160km off, ready to shoot anything that comes in, and their fleets set up in their own positions. At one point, the Pandemic fleet takes down itÆs bubble and look as though they are about to jump in on us, but a couple of minutes pass, and the bubble goes back upà
The POS we were going to save have no real value (we didnÆt want them anyway), so for a while, we debated jumping them for the hell of ità They outnumber us three to two, with fighter support, split gangs, and a Titan in jump range just waiting to pounceà
Uhà
No, we wonÆt jump in on that one thanks!
I read a funny comment on CAOD not too long ago that comes to mind when I think about fighting Pandemic Legion: ôWe donÆt blob, you lack numbers!ö Which is actually true! Every time we have come across a PL fleet, they outnumber us, but not in a blobby manner, just enough to tip the scalesà And we all know that in EVE, the force that takes the plunge and activates the stargate first gets hit the hardest by lag, especially when fighting a force like Pandemic Legion today, with 100 ships on the gate, every single one with drones out and fighters, youÆre looking at well over 400 drones there!
So we once again return home, and I need to get some beauty sleepà Strangely we did manage to get a few kills, namely one of our Rapiers got himself nicely tackled on the way home the first time and called for help as he got shot be a Falcon and two Ishtarsà We managed to kill one Ishtar and save the Rapier as the others ran away.
What we need to do now is get those numbers that we seem to lackà But I can only think, weÆve already been accussed of NAPÆing everyone and their dog, and yet we still lack the numbers to fight Pandemicà What next? Call BoB? :p
Did you mean to post with your PL alt?
Yah, your story is confusing. You are writing from a REQUIEM perspective but you are in PL?
