For anyone wondering how (and why) someone might build a 'fake' tower in a battle, you may enjoy this on the ETS site.

It's a previously undocumented encounter that we've never told before in a battle report or video.

Player Owned Surrpise

Hope you find it interesting (and that someone, somehow, stands stock still and amasses fuel blocks).

Good stuff there.

I heard rumors about it when it happened, glad someone wrote something up on how it was done.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

That's a Templar, an Amarr fighter used by carriers.

That is my new second favourite off-the-cuff tactic. A close second to changing the POS password to shoot friendly capitals off to safety = P

Saw a Rooks and Kings post, expected awesomeness.

Did not leave disappointed.

Hats off to you guys for bringing the deceptive, manipulative playstyle to 0.0

Sounds like a neat and interesting "gotcha" trick. +1 to you, good sir...

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

Nice thinking.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

The Monocle Clubhouse is an offical club for the most exquisite capsuleer's in eve. Sucks that you were wrong about be attempting to troll. Please don't be discouraged from giving it another go next time, I am sure you will be able to improve. We all had to start somwhere.

Upvote alts FTW.

Thanks, glad you (and others here) found it interesting. I made a little write up of the Starburst too, though of course that's adventure told before.
