Fight with CVA today!

2012-01-22T23:09:00.000-07:00

Most people agree that having more than one fc in fleet all working on important pieces of the fleet composition means that you have a great chance at a successful outing in a fight.

Today we took on a CVA gang running through stain. James Kordent was running intel, I was running dictor/scout and Makalu was calling the field.

We knew when they were coming and hid next door to their outgate-cloaked dictor and waited. James fed us play by play, and their scout landed on outgate with me. Perhaps suspicious, I decloaked and bubbled him, forcing him next system (worried he might scout us).

As if on cue (or maybe they wanted my Sabre dead :) <3 CVA ) they spiked local and started warping to my gate. I MWD'd up and cloaked, and Maka brought in the fleet. Their warp was significantly longer than ours, and we both landed on the edge of my bubble. The crucial point was when instead of burning to the gate and jumping they turned around (although in all fairness we had a dictor on the other side too).

I decloaked as they started aligning off and dropped a secondary on their fleet, as did our other dictors. Logistics did a good job and we duked it out.

With lots of the strategic fighting winding down, I will hopefully be running more roams and less CTA fleets, which I hesitate to blog about due to the sensitive nature of the material.

Nyx Down!

2011-11-23T13:07:00.002-07:00

Kula Kains Nyx in a known password pos not orbiting or on approach.

Unprobable Machariels make good bumping ships when retro fitted.

Their intel didn't know a thing. In fact they didn't even know what happened until I posted the mail in local after we had bridged out and left.

It was in local, in addressbook and never logged off.

[09:09:45] kula kain > yeah we logged him off over an hour ago
[09:09:52] kula kain > dunno why he was still sitting there
[09:10:00] kula kain > we could not log back in either
[09:10:07] kula kain > we peitioning

Reality was, he had no clue we were watching (as we have been griefing there for 2 weeks) no clue it was being bumped out and it took 2 min for a report of 60 -A- in 46dp to even hit intel. He figured out he was dead when we bridged out with GF and I posted the mail.

Good news is... Kula Kain's contract was big enough to buy him another Nyx.

Afterwards:
[09:19:35] kula kain > no i know vlade gave it to themn
[09:19:39] kula kain > fucking stupid fuck
[09:19:46] kula kain > him and imperian
[09:25:09] Vlade Randal > lol
[09:25:19] Vlade Randal > i dont know your pos passwords noob
[09:26:39] LuceOscura > i bet it was w33d
[09:48:43] Vlade Randal > he thinks i gave away his pos password and disowned me

The password was: superhigh

How did I get it? I guessed

http://a-killed.me/?a=kill_related&kll_id=548520

BR: Got home from work, we wiped out a fleet in 66-. Canaris and Maka FC'd, and basically lost a couple ships for quite a few sub caps killed. Onlined a couple TCU's while killing theirs (they had like 5 or something).

We babysat for hours, killing idiots in 46dp. We reinforced some POS' and some systems around Tenerifis. Getting late, losing USTZ and RUTZ is waking up... we get wind of hostile form up about 1 hr before onlining. With about 35 sub caps, 2 titans and some motherships we readied ourselves. Hostiles had 100ish sub caps and 15 supers. With 66- spiking we finally got cyno on nulli pos and jumped in our supers. It was spooky, but we approached shields and readied to rep the TCU.

Hostiles landed on POS and the fight began. Maka and I were capping titans and we decided balls to the wall and jumped them into the fight hoping for no massive bumps. At this point the hostile supers had already jumped in, and they primaried one of our Nyxs. He made it into pos in half armor, and they continued shooting our sub caps. Guardians did an excellent job and Maka and I went to town on the sub caps with our titans. Whittling down their sub caps, my Avatar was primaried. Casually I tried to re configure and realized the idiot next to me in a Nyx wasn't configured...

...

Turned out the Nyx duder wasn't even on comms (found that out after the fight). Lucky for me the moment I noticed a ticker up of yellow boxes on that toon I had started approaching shields, and I coasted in at just under half armor. They primaried the TCU and our reps could not keep up. TCU #1 died. We continued fighting, and 2 min later popped a cyno bringing in additional supers to the fight. At this point the enemy FC realized he was in a really bad position due to lack of bubbles, fighting on a hostile pos where primaries can get safe, and the fact his shit was bubbled. We primaried the first Nyx... he jumped out. Second, third and fourth primaries weren't so lucky and stayed bubbled. They died alone, as the rest of the supers jumped out.

TCU #2 onlined, and Nulli now owns the system.

Capital Kills

2011-10-23T13:01:00.001-06:00

The war in Catch is progressing rapidly. White Noise is finding most of its friends moving on, Raiden to Querious, NC. back north and the other Russian Alliances of the DRF back home.

NYNC's quest for revenge is grinding to a halt much as the German advance did outside of Moscow in WW2.

This week has led to many capital kills, from the dropping of my titan on El Pampa's carrier repping group in Tenerifis to the Nyx kill.

The Nyx kill was especially fun, as we had just lost 3GD6 sov to a titan blob from White Noise, and an unsuccesful bomber run on the White Noise fleet. Intel had reports of a Nyx solo'ing MVN SBUs in Tenerifis, so James Kordent went to check it out. The SBUs were in place from an MVN led offensive on the Irukandji Alliance who had embarked on a land grab a month ago.

The Nyx was indeed in system plinking at SBUs, and spooked by James warped to a safe spot where he was probed out before cloaking. We bridged in and tackled-waiting for a White Noise counter drop from their nearby CTA fleet.

it never came.

Our secondary cyno was put up by me and in came our supercarriers, who ripped apart the Nyx.

Last night I participated in a corp roam, Makalu was a guest and off we went to HED-

White Noise has moved their base of operations to HED- and frankly its a fun place to shoot stupid people. On the way there we snagged a Drake and Arazu camping, and as we neared destination our eyes reported some unusual activity in HED-.

A small Abaddon fleet was formed with some random shiptypes intermixed with what appeared to be triage carriers. Then a dreadnaught warped in to the SV5 gate at range and started shooting a blue... We assumed the Baddon fleet was for us, but were perplexed as we shouldn't have been on the WN "grid" yet.

We were prepping our attack from 2j out when local spiked with a blue fleet... Black Aces and trainee's. This was what the WN fleet had been formed for! We found their fleet on our comms and had them fleet up. At this point the oddball Abaddon fleet had jumped into SV5 and the dreadnaught was back on station... but the game wasn't over. I sent in the original Black Aces gang members (as my fleet was unscouted) and had them warp to HED- gate at 0, and sit point blank on the hostile fleet. I jumped in as well to guide the engagement from my cloaked Falcon. The hostiles sat... who would blink first?

I sent the Black Aces Broadsword through into HED- and had him bubbled up, then told everyone to manually point. WN sat there... not moving.

I then jumped in my gang, showing my Aces High hand. They started to align off, but were pointed. I jumped my fleet through into HED- and had them reapporach....

Finally WN blinked and engaged. My fleet jumped in and with the huge Scimitar composition due to MVN being pro at logi, we held the field and hostiles were taking losses.

Much to my astonishment a White Noise cyno went up.

Ok, so no surprise there.

In came at first one, then 2 then 3 hostile carriers.

Jackpot.

We continued beating the hell out of their support, then when they started deaggressing and jumping back into HED- it was party time. We started on the Chimera, worked him into low shield when me and maka finally agreed that no, this was not some kind of elaborate trap and yes, these guys were simply really bad at EVE.

I popped my cyno, we dropped supers and finished them off.

NYNC Caught on Film

News for Eve?

2011-10-05T19:24:00.001-06:00

Very little chatter on 2 nights in a row fights in C3. 21 billion killed 4.5 billion lost.

Oh and a RA pet titan down too...

Kugus has had a little chatter but delve is obviously a hot spot.

Eve News hasn't commented on it at all, and they are hard up for any stories they can get.... which raises suspicions on a DRF payout for "propaganda" reasons.

If true.... lol

Another possible fight tonight, with a dead alliance vs the bLob coalition.

Fight in C3

2011-10-03T23:55:00.001-06:00

C3 Ihub came out tonight. 3 hrs before timer we dropped sbus in CZK, killed a bunch of jagged alliance ships and then formed for C3. With 1 Avatar 1 Erebus and 1 Leviathan (if you count the Levi) along with a handful of supercarriers, we set up shop in jammer pos.

30 min before timer on ihub first few RA start popping into system. Dictor and a Damnation warped to one of our titans and sat there for a 10 seconds. Lossmail later showed cyno on damnation-I'm sure he was trying to light cyno for the RA supers/titans that had just mass logged in. Ooops. Then they warped off, and local bumped 80ish RA. They came in on our pos and died. Lots died. Then they left local for 20ish min. Raiden fell for the decoys set out and was in position to help out the jagged alliance pets in CZK, and were out of position for the initial fight in C3.

Our subcap fleet finally showed up, all 40 of them in alpha shield fleet.

Jagged and Raiden moved over and along with the ra pets controlled chaos and RA reshipped they came back. Fights happened in system on ihub/gate/pos, with our 2 titans (levi didn't count) and our small subcap gang against a hostile fleet size of 150-180 depending on the time. Total fight lasted around 3 hrs, and after one bad warp in we lost most of the what was left of our subcap fleet and decided to call it. Battle was pretty fun, fun to think what would have happened if we had more titans.

To the hostiles-now you know why we don't fight you when you have 10 titans on field.... its just ridiculous how overpowered titans are on battleships at this point.

After almost 4 hours of fighting (and 10 billion in losses), the DRF/pets fleet finally reinforced the ihub.

This about sums up the warp thus far:

http://a-killed.me/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=514818

"

Perseus Kallistratos: 2011-09-14 19:14:52 Nync is so shit he can't even kill a solo roaming ship without his titan."

Also, its been interesting to see DRF in action, or tbh, not in action. They do a about one day of reinforcing a week and then ask Raiden and NC. to do all the work for them in USTZ.

Raiden and NC., being bitches for DRF, do as they are told and form up. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. Also, with the agreement between Goons and DRF, Raiden and NC. have been able to move back south without fear of being hit in the rear by Goons. With their precious CCP Gems (tech moons) secure they continue to serve their masters under the guise of "we just want good PVP"

Raiden, turning down the opportunity to fight Goons to server their masters, has been an example of what not to do in the post-IT Alliance world. Many made fun of Avi for choosing -A-, but look where the political arena has taken us now? Most interesting. At least EVOL joined INIT instead of being someone else's hooker.

MVN is enjoying being a part of -A- and friends, a small coalition that is truly standing against the majority of 0,0 EVE.

2011-09-02T17:29:00.000-06:00

As EVE has been very busy for me lately I haven't had much time to post. The war has been going in a direction we didn't think it would, namely we aren't getting steam rolled and our coalition is holding fast and having fun.

I will try to post more updates while mainting OPSEC. Its a tough balance.

CCP Wins Again

2011-07-27T12:01:00.001-06:00

The past few days we received reports WN intended to drop a station in T-R. Since CVA was dumb enough to TCU but not ihub the system it wasn't hard for WN to kill TCU and drop their own.

We killed 3 TCUs and WN onlined another.

This one made it and they dropped ihub. Last night we reinforced ihub and our sbus went invuln. According to what we had been told, you couldn't drop a station in a system with online sbus, and ours were invulnerable so we were good, right?

Apparently not. WN dropped station, our sbus are still invulnerable. So, thanks ccp, for one more fail mechanic-stacked on top of the little gems you dispersed only up north which allow for an endless supply of isk.

Funny as that isk stream is, WN has so far gone cheap and hired their pet NC. only. Sort of like outsourcing to Chinese sweat shop workers-their quality is shit but they do make it for cheaper.

We'll see what happens-Solar and XXdeathXX are joining the part now too, as WN and pets can't do it alone :)

Fights

2011-07-24T19:26:00.003-06:00

Earlier in the day, Tenerifis was SBU'd by Controlled Chaos. Possibly in conjunction with SBUing of Providence systems by WN. We nuked SBUs with DNS and Imperial Order in Tenerifis, while skirmishes took out the Controlled Chaos fleet.

WN formed up in Y-MP with (mainly) Artyabaddons, with very few Guardians. They moved to T-RP with about 100 in fleet. We formed up and held on HED- jb. NC. formed up in their Providence system of GN7 and waited on titan. Cascade and -A- jumped into T-R from D-GTMI and warped to 0km on the TCU where WN was shooting the TCU at 0km. As soon as -A- jumped in NC. bridged just under 100 to a cyno 300 off the TCU. They warped to an off grid and back down to the fight at 0km as well.

Fighting was terrible for WN, who only had 3 Guardians, and we expected carriers was the reason for terrible logistics. Eight minutes in the carriers dropped: 2 Thanatos from and 2 Archons. The reps were not enough to keep up and White Noise was decimated. They warped off field leaving NC. to die.

White Noise called for supers but could not muster enough to drop.

Both Archons died but the 1 Thanatos got out. NC. was smarter and actually brought Guardians. They fought well, but left alone on field NC. took a beating and eventually warped out what was left of their fleet.

White Noise sat at 0km with Artillery Abaddons (and one Autocannon Abaddon?) and died terribly. NC. gave a good fight, but after White Noise bailed they were outnumbered.

CVA came in bombers and bombed the middle of the fleet fight, which was mainly our fleet, but they showed up too :)

SBUs died, White Noise POS in T-R reinforced.

Will post fraps later tonight after processing.

Nothing like leaving 150 guys hanging in the middle of nowhere.

CCP please stop failing at almost everything.

But hey-at least we can walk in a small room now... right...

Small Gang = Fun Times

2011-07-08T12:32:00.002-06:00

Last night we took a small gang into Derelikt. It ended with my triple rep Myrmidon dying 15 minutes into its inaugural voyage.

Welp.

We reformed into a 5 man gang... Sabre Cyna Cane Vengeance and Falcon. Off we went into Curse.

First kill was easy, and made me smile. I'm cloaked in Utopia on Litom gate while Easley is picking fights with Sedition in Hemin. Of course, Sedition aren't playing, but +2 in Utopia (probably from Doril) and a couple familiar names warp in on gate. Drake and Tempest.

Drake jumps into gang, while Tempest sits. I break cloak and let him know I'm here, and ready to drop bubble the moment his velocity increases.

It doesn't, he jumps, so I bubble and jump. Easley starts on his way from Hemin as we all wait in Litom for their decloaks.

Funnily enough, Tempest breaks first so we primary him. Easley swears he will tackle the Drake, who finally breaks and starts crashing the gate. Tempest first burns away and then towards the gate and dies. I wrote "karma bitch" in local, as these were 2 of the 3 man gang who killed me in low sec. Easley lands in a fat ugly Domi and isn't able to point the Drake before he warps out of my bubble on the other side.

We jumped Utopia and see cyno up, warp to station cyno and theres a nice ol Rapier. Jams on carrier, Rapier goes pop. We post up on Hemin gate and another cyno goes up, Arazu, and several carriers jump in. None of the carriers will aggress of course, and some ex We Form Voltron starts spewing in local about how terrible we are and pages up chat 2x before we finally answer. He was pissed about the Rapier methinks.

Moving on we killed an Imperial Navy Slicer that was moving on our route. In K-Q we reapproached in-gate, and I cloaked. In he came, as soon as he broke cloak I dropped mine and bubbled. Perfect delay bubble and he sat there and died without moving. http://www.a-kills.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=473312

As we are looting the wreck some dude in a Falcon jumps in, who has a Dramiel still in RMOC-. We go for decloak but he was either outside or on the edge of the bubble, and he gets away. Smack ensues in local.

[ 2011.07.08 08:07:41 ] Perseus Kallistratos > too bad bubble was up from the navy slicer...

So down the pipe we go into VOL-, and reapproach 8G gate. I'm sure the Falcon/Dram combo will be around shortly so we set up shop. Easley solo's a Thrasher who aggresses his Vengeance (yes, he took it solo) and we wait. Sure enough, Dram jumps in. on reaaproach he bounces off the gate in decloaks me hiding above it.

WTF

So we play for a minutes and I put him in low shield and he jumps. We set up again, and sure enough in he comms. This time, of all the places he spawns on gate-his re approach vector is right through me.

I decloak again.

Thinking his Falcon is probably on other side I jump. Yup, there they were... warping 150 off gate. So I burn for 10 seconds, calling in Darkside in his Cynabal and at 105 I cloak and drift. Dark warps off, then too sun, then to me at 100... landing 15 off the little gang of Guardian (wtf?) Falcon and Dramiel. Falcon burns away, tries to jam Darkside but fails and Falcon/Dram warps.leaving the pointed Guardian.

[ 2011.07.08 08:43:02 ] Perseus Kallistratos > Visanoline sup

Gang is now over 150km off VOL- and my gang jumping in warps right to Dark and gets secondary points. I motor over in my Sabre and drop a bubble and WHOOOO my shields go down 40%?

Dramiel back on field, Falcon too. Maybe my smack brought them back, maybe the fact that we are noobs brough him back. Regardless, Falcon is stuck in bubble but motoring away so we all drop points on Guardian, who is in low armor and stuck in middle of bubble and kill Falcon. Static keeps jams on Dramiel, whos drones are slowly eating me but I am doing ok. Falcon pops, Dramiel insta-dies and we finish off the Guardian.

Smacking until the bitter end :)

As it was 4am for me we headed back to the barn and called it a good night. My unhappiness with a Myrmidon loss was more than made up for.

Providence is Back

2011-06-28T11:01:00.001-06:00

Easley and I set out into Providence last night after a botched drop on dreads due to a sleepy scout. In low-sec we found a Chimera, and after checking 2 anomalies and an empty moon Easley finally found him in a belt-mining.

Wow.

Delve

2011-06-26T20:28:00.002-06:00

So EVEnews24 ran a story about the horrific battle where my fleet got killed in 1DH (couple articles ago).

I had wto titans on my mail and we fought outnumbered 3-1 (and no, we weren't in bombers lol)

http://couldhavetakenitsolo.wordpress.com/2011/06/25/a-gets-revenge-in-delve/

So we had this fight-Easley even posted it to EVENews, Riverini said he would write about it twice....

nothing.

Tonight we went to support Nulli for a timer, got to system, and one bad warp in we lost half our hacs to bombers. Guessing they were set up for Nullis gang, and we dropped to close to the ihub. They bombed us on jump in-but we didn't lose anyone.

So we limped to a safe and watched Nulli leave local-and I saw in my chat "we're leaving"

So we made it out somehow, with 17 left in gang and a 40 man bc gang with about 40 bombers.

Terrible.I thought I was going to lose the whole fleet.

Wish we could have had a fight of some sort, but instead 4 bombing runs (1 was successful) later we left for home, with only 3 recon kills and a Hurricane kill.

Oh well. I was fighting MM in Delve... what should I have expected?

Collective....

Derp.

Today Collective went blue on blue and got reset.

I smiled.

Fight in Delve

2011-06-22T16:00:00.001-06:00

Today I was looking for a fight in Delve-and waited for almost an hour before we bridged into 1DH with 65 in an alpha fleet.

MM gave us our fight, as they had 150 in MM fleet alone, then had another 30-40 with Brick Squad as well as supers they warped onto field. Needless to say we killed quite a few but my fleet died of course. Feeling around fleet was "good fight". We had fun despite going into a situation that probably meant most would die.

Delve is starting to look less and less promising. Support from allies in the area is feeble, Nulli are walking on sunshine after beating up on test over and over again (as are MM) and coordination is pretty terrible. MM won't fight without NC mindset numbers (3-1 Odds or more, no troll). Taking a fight with even numbers is out of the question. We reinforced their staging pos 2 days ago with 60 and with 150 in local they wouldn't form or fight... and last night we went to fight their gang repping pos and we only had 25... we took the fight, broke about even on kills and left. They refused to fight off their pos and supers/carrier reps. That mentality of lets have fun and get a fight is overshadowed by "I'm afraid to lose my ship" and their FC mentality of "I refuse to engage without 3x numbers"

This kind of warfare is so typical of EVE these days, very few people will jump their gangs into superior numbers to have fun or rely on skills to come out ahead. My hat goes off to PL, who up until recently did do this time and time again.

At least Traderjohn, whom I speak with often, admits his alliance is still stuck in this mentality. The average MM grunt however, still thinks he is pro at pvp.

Ignorance is bliss.

I suppose the funniest part of this was Collective convoing me and telling me I was causing a diplomatic incident, as they have MM blue. They told me without exact words if I didn't stand down they would shoot me. Due to the fact that their MM and Brick brethren had over 200 on field with me allowed them to not carry through with their threat, although they dropped a parting shot of "well we had 50 on titan waiting"...

gratz on the formup I guess :)

Fights in Catch, Delve and Querious

2011-06-18T00:25:00.001-06:00

I woke up today and signed on to find out we had a "duel" arranged. Hopping into my arty Tempest I joined the fleet and waited, and soaked up the information from the RU FCs of -A-.

Sure enough our opponents arrived and we bridged into V-3 and the fight was on. We had significantly more alpha than they and their Drakes were no match. We also had significant logistics and they did an excellent jump keeping our fleet members alive. Our only fail was lack of bubbles-we could have finished off the majority of their gang towards then end but let them escape.

http://www.a-kills.com/?a=kill_related&kll_id=468232

We then reshipped to fight a small frig gang incoming, and dropped on top of them. Successfully killing their Cynabal and Vaga I sent most of the fleet back to reship to fight an incoming Initiative fleet when out of nowhere a Red Alliance gang came into local.

Uh oh.

Sure enough some 30-40 RA landed on gate next to my cyno Broadsword. I told the few remaining fleet members babysitting me to GTFO and watched astounded as RA jumped the gate. I was told they were re-approaching, however, and was scrambling to get my fleet back on my titan in GE-. A few RA had stayed on this side and tackled me, shooting me now that they were sure I was alone. I bridged in fleet and my cyno cycle ended immediately after. We approached gate and jumped through as I tired to split them. We reapproached on the other side and waited. Sure enough, RA jumped after us (the ones without aggro). We jumped back through and found the RA fleet members waiting out aggression and started firing on them. Despite having a smaller fleet our battleships held field and knocked down many expensive ships while taking less expensive losses of our own

People were catching up with gang at this point and when RA/SOLAR disengaged we hunted down a few stragglers, but also skewed the initial battle report. Had we taken fight without splitting their fleet it would have been bad.

http://www.a-kills.com/?a=kill_related&kll_id=468296

As we were mopping up Initiative showed up with a large fleet. I re formed in GE- and cyno'd into U-Q local hoping for a fight.

Initiative logged off.

I took fleet home and we took a small break when I got convo'd, reminding me of the timer we had created the day before.

So we started off to J-L, as the MM tower was coming out of reinforce. A couple jumps out Progod confirmed contact with the MM fleet and we changed our heading to reinforce his fleet. Landing on field in D-3 we found triage carriers and on our way to the 319- where MM was de-aggressing we helped pop them. Jumping into 319- we mopped up, effectively sandwiching MM.

D-3 http://www.a-kills.com/?a=kill_related&kll_id=468342
319-http://www.a-kills.com/?a=kill_related&kll_id=468386

On our way home we knocked down a small RZR bomber/Falcon gang and I called it for the day. Good fights were had. Initiative had a fleet in FAIL space... but again they would not fight-this time we had better numbers so I can't say I blame them.

Progod summed up MM's fight pretty well with this quote:
"I have decided, that MM abaddon fleets should now be referred to as snow flake fleet, as people literally just fit them in their own special way . I look forward to seeing the fits from today's fight."

J-L Sov Battle

2011-06-18T00:02:00.006-06:00

A couple days ago I took out a snipe hac fleet. as luck would have it MM was hitting a ROL system in Delve so we went to assist. After forming up about 45 in fleet with a healthy number of logistics we set out.

I gave the primarily EUTZ fleet members a brief run down on snipe hacs after it became apparent many of them were unfamiliar with the tactics and strategies employed when using this specialized fleet composition.

We hit 2 out from destination when I jumped into K-6 and found a number of RZR in local. Having seen them earlier in reported light ships with a couple of random battleships I scanned and found a ceptor had appeared on directional. My cloak dropped and I sat there, and sure enough an interceptor from RZR landed. Worried he may jump into my waiting gang and spoil the surprise I was relieved when instead he approached and tackled me, settling into a tight orbit. I played AFK and waited patiently as his gang arrived. First a couple of bombers, then a Tempest and Maelstrom and a few others. As their damage finally took my shields to 40% I called the gang in and melted everything. We then proceeded to destination system where 160 or so BRICK and MM had just killed an ROL TCU and were onlining their own.

ROL entered local and we warped in at range with them to the MM tower. Supercapitals were on field, and the fighting was rough as MM had good numbers and were dipping in and out of POS shields. With some secondary FCs providing good warp ins we danced on and off the field looking for good kills and maybe a fight... but MM refused to leave the POS. ROL took a beating and had to disengage-Nulli and FAIL had formed up by this time, however, and were inbound so we continued to harass MM on their pos. At one point I noticed the Leviathan yellow, then red box my Broadsword. Knowing a DD was incoming I warped off field. Upon later discussion with Traderjohn he did indeed confirm he tried to DD me :)

Backup arrived along with a reformed ROL fleet and the POS was reinforced and onlining MM TCU destroyed. We took a few ceptor losses but no hacs or logistics despite being heavily outnumbered on a hostile pos. Logi's did a great job and for a fleet not well versed in snipe hacs they followed orders well enough to keep themselves alive and get some kills.

Fun times.

DOS Attack...

2011-06-15T14:45:00.000-06:00

Once again-we find ourselves unable to play the game we pay CCP for, some of us with more than 1 account.

Anyone else feel that their inability to contain the situation so far is embarassing and maybe some skillpoints or free game time is in order???
