Why, Yes, You Should Always Scout your Chain Just before Bed...

"Come on Svo, just play one game of League [of Legends] with us before you go to bed."

"Nah guys I think I'm gonna call it an early night, but I think I'll scout a high-sec for us real quick and check out the chain."

(Approximately 5 minutes later) "Hey there's some actives in the c2 static of our static. Domi Helios. Okay a Badger just landed, maybe I can gank him real quick on a Customs Office, moving my Proteus up you guys just do your thing. Okay the Helios just logged... Badger just switched into a Chimera? Okay the Dominix is bumping the Chimera out of the shields? WTF? Another Dominix just landed. Okay now the Chimera is aligning.... warped, under the sun... there's an anomaly there, Proteus going in for hero tackle, everyone move your crap up here! Domis went with it! Tackle on Chimera!"

And so started the best last minute scouting I've ever had. Normally around the time of night we got the kill it's dead quiet. Was a little hilarious as 5 of us juggled our 10 toons trying to find a comp that would both neut this guy out and actually kill him sometime before down-time. We settled with throwing falcon alts back through the chain to get some DPS ships. We did make an oops and kept Falcons on the field after the Domis had died and one of them got popped, but not a bad trade really.

Nothing too horrible about it; the Domis were RR Armor with local tank and the Chimera was all shields, but meh. Guy was very cool in local too. Just wanted to share some of the WH fun.

You did the Chimera pilot a favour when you podded him back to HS.

Wait,I'm confused. Were they doing anomalies in a C2 with a carrier? how does that even work? Good kill none the less.

Every day in eve someone is out there in WH space doing something dumb in an expensive ship.

It's our job to find them.

Truth being told. Can remember a thanny running sites in a lowclass, was being held for 4 hours with people running a transport ship around to keep the tackling ships stocked with nanite paste and ammo/cap boosters.

WTF

the same thing just happened to us!...

I was getting called off to play League as well (that game needs to be made less addictive...) But i was like meh, i'll scan out our chain, why not? I scan out the c2 from our static and look in.

i hit scanner and see an ishtar, a Tengu, a scythe, and an orca on scan. They're all piloted but afk, when i check their statics and see they have a hisec. I start scanning out the hisec when my friend in his Proteus, sitting on the connection to our static calls out that probes are out. I'm thinking that it's possibly the tengu or the ishtar, so i keep scanning to act like i don't notice anything, when he calls out that the ishtar landed on grid with him on the connection to our static. this is about the same time that i land on grid with the hisec hole and BM it. wondering if it's a trap, we wait to see what the ishtar does. He eventually warps back to his pos, and the orca and tengu start moving. Wondering whether they were going to roll the c2 connection, we wait to see if the orca goes to the c2 to roll it. Instead, he moves to the hisec and begins to roll. we both go WTF and he warps to me, waiting on the orca. Suddenly the tengu and ishtar follow through to hisec. At this point we're both wondering what is going on, when we notice the hole is already half. We couldn't believe our luck; they were rolling a hisec hole already half with an orca. He waits out his polar on the other side (smart...), then we see flare and assume it's the orca. we decloak and get ready for a fight. Turns out, the orca, tengu, and ishtar all jumped at the same time. The orca immediately jumps back out and crashes the hole, leaving his tengu and ishtar tackled and dying. They warp their scythe to grid, but he's dualboxing the tengu and isn't paying attention when i land on the scythe and blow it. we wind up killing their tengu, ishtar, and scythe for no losses, and about 700m in kills. This is just me in a loki and a friend in a proteus.

And that is why scanning out the chain for fights is always better than rolling your static. They were super nice about it and even complimented our tanks. Just another small WH group looking for a bit of fun. props goes out to the tengu pilot who tried to dualbox his logi.

Will link kills when i get home, e-kill doesn't work here. The ishtar pilot told us that he had come in from the hisec originally to drop off some ded loot he had from lowsec. ;~;

Hah small world, I was piloting the Ishtar. We were moving the last of our stuff out of the wormhole, the orca was 22j out from our new static so I put a couple of webs on my Ishtar to speed things up, bricks were shat when you got a lock on me, never emptied my cargo from exploring before I put the webs on, you nearly got a very shiny killmail Shocked

Pray tell, how shiny? just so i can wallow in my sad corner of space and cry bitter tears of disappointment. My 2nd loki is looking at me with forlorn eyes, wonder when i'm going to stick something green or blue on it.
