3 drakes come in from a hi sec connection to our class 5/5 cataclysmic and proceed to get owned by sleepers at an anomaly. The pods leave, pilot comes back in a frigate, parks frigate at a moon and warps to my pos in his pod. I get control of guns and nearly have him targeted when he warps away. I still have control when he warps back - I podded him with my pos guns and stowed his corpse.

I have no idea wtf they/he was trying to do.

1. WH Mining fleet puts a Large T2 bubble on high sec WH, then a hulk pilot in a 1.3 billion clone slowboats through bubble IN HULK to unanchor it.

2. Minmatar tower setup with 22 cruise missile launchers as only defence.

3. Orca pilot jumping through hisec WH after doing his hub shopping and not even realising we had put it verge of.

I have no idea of the incident in question, but I can say that if you engage thinking you truly outnumber a gang from an entity that is 5 times your size, then you're doing it wrong.

I gotta agree with that -even if it's not a trap it might still smell like one...

we were scouting a chain and found some caps in a po. for no apparent reason 1 rorqual and 2 chimera's warped to planet 1 at 0 and stayed there. in the fight after he fielded another 6 capitals consisting of rorq's, chimera's, thanny's and an ecm neuting phoenix. what ever he was doing with 3 capitals at a planet.......i will never know. he gave us his forcefield password after selfdestructing all his capitals after a 2 hour fight.

Spawned my static and jumped through. Aha, on offline POS with SMAs and CHA, jackpot! Not much drops (mostly PI stuff) from the CHA but the SMAs drop a good few ships. One of which is a Chimera.... Big smile

So I jump in the Chimera and scoop as much stuff as I can, then bring an alt in a hauler in to pick up other stuff. I think a bit more and realise that my options are to self-destruct the Chimera for insurance or use it for fun fights in their system. The second option sounds a lot more fun. However, the Chimera fit is pretty shoddy, so I need a POS to refit it. So I throw a POS up and spam some turrets.

By this stage the occupants are logging in. Some nice shiny ships, T3s, faction BS! This could be fun. But it's late and I have to log. And next morning I log in and they've all packed up their POS and evacced. Sad

So I contacted a broker and sold the system (C2 with C3 static I think), including my POS and the Chimera, for over 2 billion. Smile

see this is what i wish i could find in wormholes... All ive found were 2 small arties (although ive only been living in one for about 2 weeks)

Oh, Do go on... no seriously ive got nothing better to do then listen to all the petty arguments and feeble trolling attempts... 

The sad thing is i'm not sure if i'm telling the truth.

Offline POS with CHAs and SMAs are the officer spawns of WH space, in terms of reward and rarity. I've had two in 2.5 years of intensive WH play. Smile

today i found a hisec k162 into a seemingly empty C2 with about a dozen anoms. once i got my drake and noctis in there i cloaked the noctis at the exit and warped to a random site. when i arrived on grid i had to facepalm hard, because i had been too lazy to dscan and there were a drake, cane and cyclone already rounding up the second wave. i panic warped to some random planet but as i aligned, i noticed that they were aligning, too. none of them were locking me so i hit the brake and watched them leave. sure enough, they had all three **** their pants and warped straight to the exit and jumped out.
fittingly, my drake is called honeybadger so i did about half a dozen sites while watching the exit, then jumped back out because the wh timer was about to run out.

TL;DR: panicked carebears

I should buy an Ishtar.

A few idiots decided to setup a POS in an alliance mates C1. We of course sieged their POS. One the of them decided to make a run for the wormhole. In a Cheetah full of sleeper loot. Smart move right? Not when the ship lacks a cloak, and not when there are onyx on the field of battle. Not to mention he warps directily from the POS. Of course he got caught in my fleet mate's bubble, and then discovered I was sitting cloaked directly in line with the POS. Leaving him caught in 2 perfectly over lapping bubbles. The kicker is the guy's fit.

Yes that is Cheetah fit with a codebreaker, analyzer, salvager, and a gas harvester, but no cloak....

If you bring:

*) Purifier
*) Nemesis
*) Dramiel
*) Tengu
*) Onyx
*) Drake
*) Proteus

to kill a PVE fit Drake running C1 sigs (admittedly, it was tanked for running C3s...). Please make sure to:

0) Not have your Onyx light up a bubble (no doubt hoping to catch my pod for a kill).
1) Not lose the purifier to drones and HMLs.
2) Not lose the nemesis to drones, HMLs and your own bomb (Roll)
3) Not bring your dramiel (when did you think this was a good idea to begin with?) into small neut range, get caught in the Onyx's bubble and subsequently not only lose your poorly fit Dram, but also get podded and lose some juicy implants.
4) Not bring a Proteus (also into bubble range), then get caught on a structure and almost get popped because you can't warp away before getting into structure.
5) Not wait almost 45 mins before deciding you've lost enough ships/ISK/time and leave the benign drake to go its own way - 2 drones and a few thousand scourge rounds lighter.
6) Bring something with some DPS that won't die when the drake farts at it.


* I admit to derping as well. I'd been taking meds for a cold and was only half-thinking when I decided to run sigs while waiting for meds to kick in again. Bad idea. Really - bad - idea.

I had scouted out a C3 that was occupied by a German corp, so they were in the same time zone as me (Italy), and I sat cloaked at their POS watching them log in. The rest of my corp mates set up a trap -ratting bait Prophesy was obvious, but they bit anyway. So as I'm watching the Germans warp to the trap one of them must have gotten close to me cause I decloak, but I didn't realize it until after the tower's defenses had locked me down (too busy relaying target intel to the fleet). So we end up trading a Prophesy and a Purifier (my stealth bomber) for a Loki and his POD. Mental note to self: Next time cloak above or below the POS and not "level" with it. Still kicking myself...

something similar happened to me recently. i wanted to finish an escalation in lowsec but the locals decided that i shouldn't. so I warped to the gate @50 and sat there trash-talking when suddenly my cloak went off, presumably because one of them warped to the gate from the same planet i came from. long story short: do not sit around cloaked between two warp targets when there are reds looking for you.

I should buy an Ishtar.
