A few days before QR came out I decided to juice my 4km/s Ishtar as much as I could. Was roaming in Venal after having recently moved there and caught a Rattlesnake on scan.
I had picked on this group before, there are about 40 belts in the system that they occupy and they had a POS or two in the system that they ran to as soon as a neutral entered local. Needless to say, I expected to go home unhappy, I couldn't be ever more wrong.
Drop warp right on top of the RS who is in the process of initiating warp. I get the warp disruptor on the target and stick my drones on him. His shield tank slowly fails, as I had guessed he was only setup to tank Guristas - and having no EM heavies I stuck some Berserkers on him. It seemed to take at least a minute before he realized he should shoot my Drones and not me. So he starts killing those, in which I get to save some cap on my MWD. I decide to keep my drones out and just send in replacements rather than let him get some passive recharge while I retract my drones to save them.
Moments later 2 other Ravens and a Manticore warp in. One Raven and the Manticore decide to shoot me, and the other Raven shoots my drones. I keep sending more and more drones onto the RS as he melts into armor. I'm getting nervous however, although the cruises were only hitting for 5-10 damage a pop, the time I was there was long enough that they managed to get my shield down to 25%. My drones are almost all dead, and I've now resorted to replacing my dead heavies with my flight of Warrior II's while the RS is in structure. My cap boosters are all out as well, and I'm updating my corp mates on vent of this epic battle. They're all cheering me on, and my adrenaline rush rubs off on them as well.
Finally the RS pops, I quickly book mark the wreck, and warp to a nearby planet. A Raven follows me, and I warp back to the wreck to find some nice CNavy gear. This had to be the most entertaining battle I have had in EVE. Not only was I fighting a faction BS on my own, I was outnumbered and by the end of the fight had exhausted all my drones and cap boosters, to boot I made 400mil off the kill.
