ok so we are bored wt are station hugging a buddy scans down a cnr in a mission. i have my trusty maller and a buddy in an oneiros.mission looks like angels extra we loot and salvage room 3 and 4.the cnr is in room 4 im flashy to him so he takes a shot at me.i ab to him get him scramed start neuting his cap and sick my drones on his drones and my support ship warps in.the cnr pilot kills off the last rats to drop the dps. just as hes done his hardeners shut down i have killed his cap.he's pounding me with missiles but with the support ship he cant brake my tank and the onei is out of his range.as im buring his armor a female toon in a rax warps in and robs a weck. the cnr shoots at her! 5 vespa ecm drones are launched and engage the cnr and he stops hitting me.the rax warps out and the vespas vanish as im trying to figure out wtf the raven launches the vepas and brakes my lock.he warps away at 20% armor or so. strangest rescue i have ever seen lol.

That was a pretty smart CNR pilot, I probably would not have thought to scoop + deploy ecm drones to make a quick getaway.

Friendly re-write (not my story):
My buddy and I were tired of camping our station-hugging war targets; since they obviously didn't want to play we decided to find other methods of amusement. We dusted off the trusty probe launcher and... BINGO! A Caldary Navy Raven running an Angel Extravaganza mission. The hunt was on!
My Omen softly bumped my buddy's Oneiros as we approached the first gate. We devised a plan and entered the complex in search of our elusive quarry. In the first room we found only shattered wrecks. We paused only long enough to grab some of the floating loot; that would flag us to our target, and perhaps he would be foolish enough to open fire. The second room also contained only debris, as did the third. As I activated the gate for the next room, I wondered if we were too late.
In the fourth room, outnumbered but refusing to give ground, the Navy Raven slugged it out with the defending Angel forces. I slapped on the scrambler, kicked in my energy neutrilizers, and flung my Omen at the massive battleship. He turns his drones upon me. I return the favor by setting my drones on his. For a moment things looked pretty grim, and I cheered when my buddy's Oneiros dropped out of warp right above my ship.
Our prospective victim suddenly realizes he cannot face both us and the Angels; with lightning reactions he turns the CNR's missile batteries full upon the remaining Angel ships, and we can only watch helplessly as they are murdered one by one. Sadly, there was no possible way to give them aid, and I grieve for their families. Seeing the massive destructive potential of our target, my buddy starts putting some distance between him and the Raven, as I steeled myself for what must surely come next. My little Omen was about to get caught between the hammer and the anvil.
BOOM! The first volley of missiles smashes into my little ship. My friend is pouring every ounce of capacitor into the link which preserves my armor. I watch my readouts nervously; will it hold? Can I withstand this hellish onslought? I check and see that my friend is now out of range of the CNR's missile batteries, and safe. And my armor? It's holding! Our damage begins to tear through the Raven's shields... my neuts have drained his capacitor and his drones are dead. That's it! We're going to win! Knowing nothing can now save the Caldari battleship, my friend and I laugh and cheer, happy to avenge the lost Angel pilots.
And suddenly a Thorax-class cruiser drops out of warp near the Raven.
We said nothing; both wondering at his purpose. Who's side will this new player take? Will he defend the Raven or assist us? Will he try to grab the loot from the CNR's wreck before we get there? I glance at my readouts and see the Raven's armor is being slowly chewed away. When next I look up the Thorax has stolen from one of the Angel wrecks, and a lone missile from the CNR buffets her shields. "What the hell? Is the Thorax on our side?" I wonder as a cloud of Vespa ECM drones issue from the Gallente cruiser and streak towards the battleship.
And, as suddenly as it appeared, the Thorax throws itself into warp and is gone... leaving a full swarm of ECM drones behind.
For only an instant I'm puzzled as the abandoned ECM drones vanish from my overview. But things swiftly begin to fall in place when the ECM swarm suddenly reappears, this time under the control of the CNR which had scooped them. They were on me in an instant, and amid the static and interferance of their sensor disruption I looked down to see the CNR at only 20% armor. In horror I watched my scrambled systems lose the lock and the scrambler switch into passive mode. As I look up, I see our prize, no longer held, warp off into the night.
Strangest damn rescue I've ever seen.

Friendly re-write (not my story):
My buddy and I were tired of camping our station-hugging war targets; since they obviously didn't want to play we decided to find other methods of amusement.
friendly rewrite again:
"My buddy and I were tired of not showing up to engage our war targets; since they've killed use every time we've followed them around with poorly fit cruisers and ceptors while they kill the alliance we were hired to protect. and after losing a whole 4 ships we for some reason haven't come anywhere near them."
before you talk about station hugging, you should actually come look for a fight; nobody in the accursed has seen anything from you guys in over a week. between you, the other mercs that were hired, and the alliance that hired you (outnumbers us 70:1 mind you), surely you might stay alive long enough to learn a thing or two.
for clarity's sake, we are the war targets he's referring to. since they hired noobmercs we've done about 3.5-4b in damage to their employer, killed 4 noobmercs ships, and they haven't shown up since.
otherwise an amusing story.

Methinks this Thorax was intentional. Think about it:
By having the Thorax steal from the wreck, it's flagged. OK, now the CNR pilot can agress it. OK, NOW the Thorax can send out ECM drones on the CNR. Or should I put it more bluntly, now the Thorax can release his disposable drones and put them in tight orbit around the CNR, within "scoop to drone bay" range, before warping off.
The Thorax assisted the CNR without being able to fire on you, or you on him, right when the CNR needed it. Sure, possibly could have orbited the CNR in the Thorax and deployed drones and warped off, but, this was a faster/better tactic. Kept you off guard. Had you intervened by mistake, you would have been Concordokkened.
Looks like their plan worked flawlessly.

Et, aussi subitement comme il a apparu, le Thorax se lance dans la dTformation et est parti ... distantant un essaim complet de faux-bourdons d'ECM.
Depuis seulement un instant je suis dTconcertT comme les faux-bourdons d'ECM abandonnTs disparaissent de mon apertu. Mais les choses commencent rapidement a tomber dans l'endroit quand l'essaim d'ECM reparaet subitement, cette fois sous le contr(le du CNR qui avait scooped eux. Ils Ttaient sur moi dans un instant et parmi le statique et interferance de leur perturbation de dTtecteur que j'ai regardTe en bas pour voir le CNR a l'armure seulement de 20 %. Dansl'horreur j'ai regardT mes systFmes mTlangTs perdre la serrure et le changement de brouilleur dans le mode passif. Comme je lFve les yeux, je vois notre prix, plus tenu, la dTformation de dans la nuit.
Le secours fichu le plus Ttrange je voyais jamais .
Theres your french translation.
The translator only lets me put in 500 charecter segments, so any isk donations would be helpful after all that copy-pasting

Great proof of how thinking outside of the box gets you a long way. Never knew you could use scooped up drones right away. I thought you had to be docked to move them to the drone bay

You do, IF you scoop them to the cargo bay. When if range of abandoned drones, if you have a drone bay, use "scoop to drone bay" instead. Once in your drone bay, they're immediately available. If you scoop them to cargo bay instead by mistake, then yes, you'll need to dock at a station. (Don't know if they fixed it to be able to transfer from cargo bay to drone bay at a POS ship maint hanger or Carrier yet.)

You can scoop drone in space in your drone bay IF the owner is no more in local (in ship or pod ), and use it as soon they are in your bay.
