Well informed corps / alliances will have a ton of intel and charts, it was only a matter of time.

They scan down a WH to KS-1TS (-0.4) then ask for money.

This was how I found them. The tengu pilot gave him the exit system location. Rookie mistake for extortion. So technically that 200m didn't go to waste. Big smile

Edit: I'm liking the omnipotent vibe I'm apparently putting off though

Sorry to hear this man. I've been poking around in the Wormholes for a week. Always keeping an eye out for your System. Sorry I didn't find you in time. Better luck next time.

Shocked Plot twist.

Did not see that one coming.

If you'd told me the Orca was in the wormhole I would have escorted it out too. Would love to take the credit though...

i am honestly a little heart broken that you didnt have a hand in the orca kill.

No worries, it was fun and learned some costly lessons in return. Totally a fair trade. Big smile

If people do whine and cry about getting blown up because of their own stupidity, EVE is not for them.

Sometimes getting kicked in the teeth is the best thing that can happen to you.

Hopefully you will soon put another orca in a hole and post about it too. Just remember to put launcher and some probes on it :)

Speaking of forum candy, can we shower Cara in said forum candy? The NC Q&A WH Siren did save the day after all...kindaBig smile.

High five to OP for sticking with it all the way and Cara for being a badass.

That system was very quite and they would have an Orca that would be inside the POS from time to time. The Tengu only came out of the POS a few times. I don't wish ill will on the POS which im sure could be popped with a medium sized gang. But what done was done. Keep us posted lol. Pirate

LOL wish i had seen this thread before.... we may not have blown up ur orca... maybe..

*snip* Posting of kill reports outside of the Crime & Punishment forum channel is prohibited. ISD Ezwal.

We were actually hunting a megathron and tengu in that wormhole.. When one of us called out "orca on dscan" and sure enough u landed on the hole and well .... its an orca and of course we are going to shoot it..

We were a bit puzzeled why u showed up... we were trying to trap the mega and had fanned out across the holes in that system. Its seemed strange that an orca would just randomly trundle on by without a scout . but now we know..

BoB works in mysterious ways... wrong place... wrong time for you.. happy coincidence for us.

I was looking for that kill board yesterday, too bad that Hulk didn't drop. But not even sure if ships can even drop out of Orca's. Can they? Yeah my mistake was just jumping through the holes without even scanning the exits down. I had you guys on Dscan and was like "oh ****". Yep you were waiting, when I saw that bubble it was like a dear in the headlights. I didnt' even think to use my drones. I warped back to the other side of the hole because it seemed like you guys were waiting to get some other members on the kill mail before I popped.

Killboard linking is a big no-no.
