Wormholes

Hi all,

I thought it about time to introduce our new-ish C5 corporation to the wider community. ‘Boris Johnson’s Love Children’ started up before Christmas and has been gaining momentum ever since. We are a laid back, primarily EU based group of experienced Eve players (though our WH experience varies). For anyone unaware of whom Boris Johnson actually is... you disappoint - this slightly odd creature is the embodiment of our Corp. Yes this man is the Mayor of London... yes he is.

We live in a C5 Magnetar with a static C5, after a few months of preparation (farming until eyes bled) we decided to man up and throw some expensive ships at other expensive ships. We have had a number of decent fleet fights so far but I will only bore you with the most recent.

[BORIZ] vs [LOST]
Disclaimer: gfs all round, respect to [LOST] for coming to us and escalating with Dread. Very enjoyable fight against competent opponents. I hope they would agree that regardless of third party intervention, the fight was epic.

Yesterday we connected to a C5 that also connected to [LOST] & [.IFAP]. Fairly certain of a decent fight we started to fleet from 18:00. A few cheeky kills on [LOST] and they started forming up, we began to field a throwaway shield fleet and escalated accordingly, matching their fleet like for like.

With both corps scouting the other, pretty soon it was clear we would both be fielding all our T3s with guardian support. Expecting [LOST] to stay in their home system we prepared a bait fleet, apparently we were taking too long as [LOST] warped a reasonable sized fleet consisting of 8 T3, 3 Guardians, 2 Abso and Falcon support to our WH (in C5 static). We matched this fleet (+1 Bhaalgorn -Jams) and engaged. Suffering heavily from legion neuts and Falcon jams we were on the losing end of the fight for the first 10 minutes, after losing 2 guardians we were forced to commit an Archon. [LOST] responded with a Moros.

At this point the fight was a stalemate; with neuts and several Falcon jams our dps and counter neuts were lacking. Pretty soon after caps were dropped [EXHALE] appeared on the field, 2 canes warped in at range and decided to kill 2 [LOST] falcons (unrequested but appreciated). [EXHALE] very kindly offered Capital support, which was refused. The reduction of [LOST] Falcons appeared to tip the fight just enough in our favour to gradually work through targets on the field. Without a bubble we managed to point and kill most of the enemy fleet:

After the Moros popped we chased the remaining [LOST] back to their system. I made a fairly terrible call for our Archon to jump through their reduced hole which resulted in the collapse, shutting off our Bhaalgorn. [LOST] escalated with a second dread and took our archon and 2 T3:

Chitsa Jason’s alt also happened to be stuck in this system.

Chitsa The Great
Big love to Chitsa Jason. Top bloke. After getting stuck in [LOST] home system and having to log our fleet, he scanned a null sec exit out for us. He then spent the next 3 hours scanning & scouting out fleet through null before finding a C2 with a static High. I have not been following the CSM campaigns but I will be giving my votes to Chitsa, not many would go out of their way and spend their evening assisting a hostile fleet.

Side notes:
• I heard mention in local that a few [EXHALE] (they only had 3 mains online + some alts) were harassing [LOST] fleet reinforcements, this may have had a larger impact on the final outcome, if true.

Thanks for reading, I hope no-one mistakes the above for boasting, more mistakes were made on our part than [LOST]'s.

Hope to get more good fights with you all soon

As I'm from the UK had a good chuckle when I saw the corp name after some of our guys had a bit of a fight with you

Good read and congrats for getting your stuff together. Wish you'd chosen a better name :P

(Although LOST isn't exactly competent opponent even if they are space-famous)

Dead falcon pilot best falcon pilot :P

Confirming it was a great fight. A good and accurate write up.!

Thanks for bringing the fight. It's always annoying when people run and hide instead of throwing down. Was a great and difficult fight for our new FC's first engagement :)

Hope to see both of you again soon, one at time please :D

It wasn't so much that we thought you were taking too long, but when you folks re-shipped, we realized you were ready for a fight and thought we'd "throw out the welcome mat", as it were.

You were, indeed, quite ready for a fight. Good times.

Good Fight! I really wanted you guys to take the offer we made when you were trapped in. 2 T3's and Chitsa's pod wasn't that much to pay.

LOL I just wanted a replacement loki

Maybe our EU contingent will get the chance to play with you sometime soon, it's less likely for the NA people save on weekends...
