Wormholes

...I don't wanna talk about it.

Shows how much you know as it is perfectly possible to light a cyno in wspace. You can't jump to it however, but it does appear on everyone's overview like in kspace.

When you think about it, most of the funniest WH fails are due to people not understanding game mechanics. Timers, warping to bookmarks from the scanner etc. With that said, it makes the quoted post here a nice fail as well.

I think the funniest kill I've been on was when we found a guy mining - i can't remember if it was gas or ore. I can't remember if we got the mining ship or not as it can't find it on the billboard.

Anyway, blokey warps off in ship or pod, it's irrelevant to the story.

And then a Tengu appears on DSCAN. Woot, we shout on Teamspeak. And then the Tengu lands on grid!! It's our Christmas and Birthdays rolled into one. Those of you who 'Blob' won't understand this, but small WH gangs will know what I'm on about here.

So we set about the Tengu but something strange is happening.

1. We're struggling to break his tank.
2. None of us is taking damage.

Ransom demands are falling on deaf ears so it's off to get a curse - we may have stopped shooting at this point.

And he pops!

I still chuckle about this.

If you're the hapless pilot please get in touch and tell me(us) your side of the story - I'd love to know your thought processes

My Orca was attacked by a covert Legion and a Hound. The Legion was haphazardly fit for neuting, obviously it wasn't a chance encounter.

The Orca was 5 km outside the force field moving POS modules around (OCD).

The Legion dropped nice faction and deadspace modules. I'm guessing they figured all the other online guns weren't loaded.

We did this today...

Firstly, would like to through shoutout to Trink! Hope to see you and the boys this weekend.

In our time, we have encountered some derps and derped ourselves... To share a couple:

1. A while back, a friend and I were scouting out a highsec for some new members and stumbled upon an offlined Fade 2 Black tower in a C4. We decided to pop the internals, and out pops some Battleships, so Battlecruisers, odds and ends and a Chimera. Jumping in the Chimera, we proceded to evict Fade 2 Black with their own ships.

2. R&K dropped an Armor Gang on us in our Pulsar...

3. The other day, we had a lowsec K162 open into our static C5. Some lowsec pubbie rolled in to the hole in a shifit Ferox, which we killed. Then we went out into their lowsec and they convo'd me to apologize for them coming into "our space". They then paid the 100 million wormhole encroachment fine I informed them about, and they promised to stay out of "our space forever".

4. A good friend of mine decided to live nomadically for a while. So he jumped his Archon from WH to WH until eventually he and his scout were separated. He then figured he might aswell safe spot his Archon and kick out a scanner to scout himself. This worked for a while until someone found and lifted his Archon while he was scouting ahead.

5. Same friend decided to leroy his Nightmare into a critical hole, collapsing it. Then scouted himself out while being chased the entire time by hostiles. He had no cloak. He survived.

6. Different friend, who played with the assistance of cannabis frequently, after rolling about a dozen holes with us one night, decided it was time to crash out... So he jumped into our static and logged off.

7. Lastly, was a bust on me.. Sorta. Last night, some of our guys were running sites in our static C5. The locals didn't seem to mind and even logged on a Rorqual and was moving around. Our scout noticed that the login spot for the Rorqual was in a Small POS with no defenses. Just the stick and shield. He then saw the Rorqual warp to another POS to compress some Ore. I jump my Phobos in and warped to the scout after he sets me up with a spot 50 km off the Small POS and I bubble up. Everyone else thinks that he won't warp back with us all in there, so they escalate another site. Just as they do, our scout informs me that he is warping to me. And... I caught him. I get him for a bil, and then everyone but the Chimera warp to me and start pounding on him. The Chimera begins struggling with the sleeper escalation, and we have the RR Tengus go back, killing our DPS on the Rorq. I am tabbed over on another character trolling the Rorq in local, as he is at 50% structure. I then tab over to my Phobos to see that he had been attackin it with Gardes the whole time... derp. - Phobos, it happened.

The good news was that I got a bil and he still lost the Rorqual. He was proud of his 4 bil in losses, since it was his first kill. Kudos to positivity. And with that, I have shared the derps, both local and afar.

There was this one corp who ran afoul of us twice. Let me tell you their story.

This first story comes via word of mouth from some corp mates. They had a hi sec open and a c4 open. So they're relaxing on the c4, and then all of a sudden, an orca pops through. Orcas, while deadly in their natural environment of the ocean, don't fare so well in space. So they begin to beat the orca down and at about 75% structure, it pops a hurricane out.

...and boards it.

We assume his thought process was "Kill the orca myself for whatever reason". Unfortunately, he seems to have forgotten all the Talocan around him and his hurricane and pod were sent back to high sec post haste. So they took his orca with a full tower and modules, for a total loss at about 5 bil.

Cut forward a few weeks.

I'm casually herping around my c3 hole, just chilling in my cloaky scanny tengu. I notice a decent number of probes pop up and I proceed to cloak up on the high sec I've got. About ten minutes roll by, and a hyperion lands on the hole. I start to engage when 3 of his friends land on the hole and force me out. "How rude," I thought, "I'll grab some friends and pop back in after some ten minutes". I jump back in ten minutes later with a corp mate with me, only to find they'd left system. The natural assumption was that they were running sites, so I did a quick probe down of the system. The first thing I happened to find was a k162 from a c4...

You see where this is going.

So, I hop in and find their pos. And hot damn if it wasn't the group that we'd stolen the orca from. After about 10 milliseconds of consideration, I decided to make as many safe spots as I could and log for the night after adding every one of their pilots to watchlist and making sure to note when I opened their static and all that goodness.

So the next day, I bring in about 8 friends as they start to roll their hole and we proceed to show them why they don't do silly things like close their hole the whole way, or use alts to monitor. They also made the grievous error of setting up a small tower with barely any defenses to speak off. We proceeded to incap their mods and on our way out told them we'd be back.

Still no idea if they live in w-space. Hope to see them again to help facilitate their move to high sec if they haven't done so already.

I'm not sure if this counts as technically a "derp," but once we ran into a large POS fit with no defenses other than cruise/torp missiles launchers.

Together with LOST, we put it into reinforced by sig-tanking it in speedy stealth bombers.

I actually had to refit for more DPS cause the tower wasn't breaking the shield recharge on my armor-tanked Manticore (local effects ).

With a story that entertaining, I don't even care if it is.
