MOAR UPDATES
U-Boat
U-boat episodes 8 and 9 are up, with episode 10, containing one of the biggest whelps in ADHC history from what I have heard, should be coming out soon (my guess is today, but I don't want to give an ETA on someone elses work). Here is the battle report as a little teaser.

Recent fights
Last night, after rolling our static, we found an Executive Outcomes fleet consisting of 3 guardians and assorted T3s/HACs/BCs with Damnation boosts sieging an unknown Russian corps POS. We formed up a shield fleet and after raging thoroughly at whoever fit our corp Scimitars with afterburners, which we quickly fixed, we went out and warped in at 30 on them. They took the fight at first, but when our ECM started getting jams in on their Guardians they quickly started melting. They tried to bug out and we spread points and killed what was left. Then one of their pilots reshipped to a Hound and decloaked in the middle of our fleet.

Final result

I would like to talk about the fight that's coming in U-Boat 10, but I wasn't there. While I could simply post quotes from the AAR that was written, I would rather just wait until episode 10 goes up so you guys can see it for yourself.

That's all the news I have to share for this week. As much as I would like to write an update that could rival some of the nullsec news popping up left and right atm, no major life changing really happened in ADHC this week.



Video he talks about is comming soon(tm)

Welp. I did not even realize we had a recruitment thraed on here. Here's the latest update that I posted on our E-Uni Work Fair thread, from August 31st.

Adhocracy somewhat-weekly update

I'm gonna attempt to update this thread weekly, or as close to weekly as possible with updates about corp activities, recent news and any particular changes that might have happened. Provided the corp actually likes me and I get to stay after my 30 day initiate period, that is.

Adhocracy goes camping
The most prominent event since my last update was hands down our C6 camping trip. Someone in the corp found a C6 Red Giant with 63 anoms and 31 signatures (27 gas sites), and so he invited anyone who wanted to come to join him. I'm not sure on the exact number of people that joined, but it seems to be somewhere between 15 and 20. The first night we earned over 1.5bil ISK in gas and loot. I and a couple others also managed to semi-afk mine a couple hundred million ISK in Retrievers during the early hours of EUTZ over a couple of days. This post will be going up the day we pull out of the hole(opsec and all that), so we won't know the total ISK earned until a few days later, when it's all been counted and sold.


Recent fights
Sadly I only have one fight to report this week. I would tell you what else has been going on, but all I have are killboard links since, appearently, NO-ONE in my corp likes AARs, and by extension, learning and improving.

My corpmates gank 3 battleships
Something about T3s in lowsec
Somehow Atron wins versus Atron + Slasher

A Dragon and it's whelps
So we got welped by a Dragon and support. We had lost a Navy Harbi and a Heretic to a gatecamp of locals out of our low-sec link. They were camping in cloaky Proteii with an OOC cloaky scout on the highsec gate. We took it upon ourselves to rid the world of this filth and their evil tactics. We are gentlemen vikings afterall. So we formed up a nice fleet of a cloaky 200k EHP bait Proteus, 2 Guardians, a Curse to mess up their guns and some assorted armor dps ships. So we tell our bait Proteus to go. Nothing happens. They don't even react. We're sitting around wondering how to get them to engage us when our cloaky Proteus spots a Vindicator warping to the gate. I call the obvious, obvious bait, then tell the cloaky T3 plus our Navy Brutix to go point it, because we just wanna shoot at somebody at this point. Point is called. The Vindi starts shooting at our Brutix Navy Issue. We jump into the system, starts repping up our Navy Brutix. Suddenly there's an Archon, second Vindi, Megathron, Proteus and Scorpion on the field. We believe the Scorpion was all Amarr jammers. I suspect he refitted off the carrier as soon as we showed them our Guardians. With our 2 Guardians rendered completely useless by what we think was 7 Amarr Jammers, we start dropping like flies. Our Curse makes it out, and I in the Guardian burn back 40km to the gate, the last 20km under Vindi webs, jumping through and warping back to the hole in half armor. Our Rupture also made it out \o/ So we got welped, but we got a fight out of it. Yay. That was also my first fight in a Guardian.


Adhocracy official website
So the corp/Asay has had the Wormhole Fundamentals website for a while now, using it as a blog to accompany the video series. The decision was made to use it as an official website for Adhocracy, with weekly updates such as these, as well as battle reports of any major fights we've had, posted on there. I'm sure the more creative guys like Asay can find more uses for it than that, but that's all that's been decided so far. This hopefully also means you will get updates from someone with actual talent in writing and with more experience in EVE and the corp than me. Yay!

That's all for this week, folks. And remember, recruitment is still going strong and thanks to Asays videos we're getting applicants almost daily now. If you wanna apply, now is the time!

Adhocracy somewhat-weekly update

Two new episodes of U-Boat have been released. Wormholefundamentals.com is getting a make-over. Plenty of pew to talk about this week as well.

U-Boat
Episode 11: Interlude was released yesterday. In this episode Asay and friends get owned by ECM... More than once. They also score a couple of kills in lowsec. A very laid-back episode this one, in contrast to episode 10.
Episode 12: "Challenge Aceepted" wherein we tell Asay to go and find a carrier for us to kill. A written battle report can also be found below.

Wormholefundamentals.com
Asayanami and a couple of other adhocrats are in the process of giving the website a makeover, converting it to look much more readable, and also including stuff like an official corp blog as well as links to our recruitment formula and requirements as well as other recruitment and corp related info. I do not have any screenshots to post, but I have played around on it myself and I can guarantee that it looks fantastic. We should be ready to release it in two weeks time from what I was able to gather.

Recent fights

We got a bunch of fights and ganks this week. Here is a run-down of all the ones that had AARs written about them or that I was personally there for.

Old bookmarks lead to dead Nidhoggur
On a late night scanning spree one of our scanners found a C4 Black Hole with 53 sigs, and decided to scan them all down, because he is a tenacious baws. He finds a lot of sites, and a couple of wormhole connections. After jumping into one of the wormhole connections, he finds several old bookmarks. As he checks our mapping tool, he is told that we had visited that hole a whole 12 hours ago. He checks the bookmarks, with one leading to a nullsec ratting system. In it, he finds several ratting carriers, two of which dock up as soon as he enters local. He locates the third with his directional scan, warp to the anomaly, and spot a Nidhoggur finishing up a site. I will paraphrase the AAR, written by Nitrah, as it explains the next part perfectly.
Quote:

We form up as he finishes the last wave of battleships and proceeds to...

Sit around with his thumb up his ass. For at least five minutes. Total bait, I think.

We finish forming up a mixed fleet of 8ish pilots, and I decloak and throw down the hero point. He autotargets me back. No drones. He went to get a beer. Not wanting to alert him that he's in trouble, I hold fire. Our fleet arrives, and I bug out to go get another ship. He dies as I'm on my way back to Hub. I grab the Mammoth and go back to loot him.

On a personal note, this happened half an hour after I went to bed *grumbles*

Disavowed. comes a-knocking
As some adhocrats were sitting around waiting for a T1 cruiser FFA to start, a cry for help is heard from a PI-running Orca. He is under attack by several hostile T3 Cruisers. The Orca dies before any real support can arrive, but a battle Exequror, intended for the FFA, bravely responds to the call for help, only to get asploded. It's quickly realized that we have a new connection in Hub. A fleet is quickly formed, with a mix of armor dps ships and several Guardians. The fleet warps to the new connection, where a dozen or so T3s are sitting on the hole. As the fleet lands, about 20 more hostiles jump in, including six Guardians and a bunch more T3s. The order to scatter is given within seconds. Sadly a few high-value ships are tackled and gunned down in short order.

"Challenge Accepted" (The fight in U-Boat 12)
It's Saturday night. We had just finished running cap escalations in the unusually high amount of anoms (10) we had in our home system. Some of us are not quite done with the isk-making yet, so we go and start doing anoms in a new connection that was opened up shortly after we were done in Hub. Asayanami exclaims "But I wanna pvp..." and someone responds with "Go... and find us a carrier. Then we'll come kill it."

"Challenge accepted".

It took less than five minutes. No seriously, he found a carrier to kill within five minutes, and had it tackled 2-3 minutes after that. In our static. On a hole they had just crashed. We believe they thought we came from that hole, when in reality they had not found our connection yet. It couldn't have been any better. Okay, maybe if we had gotten the Moros as well it would've been perfect.

We proceeded to pile into the hole, and someone went back for a Bhaalgorn. The enemy had Archon, Tempest, Proteus, Arazu, Navy Geddon. As well as a... Unusually fit Raven. We believe it to be a variation of the fit shown in The Official Ship Fitting Guide.

They also warped a Moros in at 60km, but everyone was so busy worrying about transversal and the brawl around the carrier that noone thought to go tackle it and it simply warped away after it's siege cycle ended.

After 6 or 7 minutes of brawling around the carrier, our Bhaalgorn and Curse finally started breaking the Carrier, and soon after that the enemy ships started exploding as they were no longer recieving reps. GFs were exchanged and the residents were assured that the fight would be shown in U-Boat episode 12 and to look out for it. After looking at the battle report, I am sad to see that we did not in fact get the Proteus, which I originally thought.

Adhocracy somewhat-weekly update

Two new episodes of U-Boat have been released. Wormholefundamentals.com is getting close to releasing in a new, much better version. I will also tell you the story of how we practically got hotdropped in W-Space.

U-Boat
Episode 13: Bob's Drop In this, Adhocracy goes on an absolute killing spree through low and nullsec with a Black Ops gang. We kill just about everything we find.
Episode 14: Getting Hot-dropped in W-space? wherein Asay once again finds us carriers and support to gank. Things don't turn out as planned, though...

Wormholefundamentals.com
As mentioned last update, some of our hard-working adhocrats have been... working hard... on giving Wormholefundamentals.com a complete makeover. They are now happy with the results and all that is left is coordinating deployment to a new server and things like that. So while I cannot give an ETA, it should be up and running soon. And not "soon".

Recent fights

We got some cool fights again in the two weeks or so since the last update. Here is a run-down of all the ones that had AARs written about them or that I was personally there for.

Brawl with Task Force Proteus/Protean Concept
Internally known as "the fight that Jonny didn't welp". For a frame of reference, he (Jonnekefka) is notorious for leading us into the biggest welps in ADHC history. The phrase "die for Kefka" is used dearly and often. As I was not there for this one, I will simply borrow Jonny's AAR and edit it a bit so as to remove any ADHC jargon or internal sekrits.

"Jonnykefka" wrote:
So I log in and there's some site-running in our static following a little skirmish in a wormhole down the chain. I send my scout out that way while I'm getting dinner together. After a while I find that our erstwhile opponents from round 1 have brought out a Megathron, Armageddon, Ishtar, and Sacrilege, and are sitting 50km off of the hole, orbiting the hole at speed.

There was a general sentiment that I should lead us into a glorious welp, and of course I'm only too happy to oblige. So, we set up on the other side of the hole with the plan that we lead with Ioqua in a Proteus with a long point. He soaks the sentry alpha, gets point on the Mega, and then we pile in, with AC (AtomicConnor) in his Hookbill getting the next point and the rest of us catching up as quickly as possible. Plan executes flawlessly. There's a little bit of helter skelter working around the Armageddon's neuts, but we manage to get points on all four hostiles with relatively little difficulty. To their credit, in the first of many brave moves, they did not immediately try to warp off when the fleet piled in.

We start on the Ishtar and it melts. We turn to the Megathron and three Guardians land at long range, followed by a Falcon. We dispatch AC after the Falcon with all of our drones, and work around the jams as best we can. We manage to keep points on the Megathron, Armageddon, and Sacrilege. We swtich targets and bring down the Armageddon. Around this point AC finally murders the Falcon with the fury of a thousand drones and Ioqua's long point. A Proteus and Hurricane land on the field, and we do my new personal favorite "F*** your logi"-move, a double target swap. On five second counts we go from the Megathron to the Proteus to the Cane, and their Guardians are so far behind they don't get anything on the Cane before it goes, and while they're reeling we manage to drop the Megathron.

After some more target switching and them warping in a second Proteus and a Harbinger, we nuke the Harbinger, then the Sacrilege in short order. They bring in another Prot. We've been trying to suppress their Guardians with moderate success using ECM drones, but at this point I order Ioqua and AC to go after the Guardians and try to harass them off the field. The multiple DPS pressures are enough to disrupt them, the first Proteus dies, then the second, we force their third Guardian off the field and it's us and two tackled Guardians. And a Manticore, for a brief, shining second, trying to bomb AC's hookbill to break tackle on the Guardian. This failed.

Overall we crushed them and took no losses, except for a Proteus in an earlier engagement. I give them massive kudos for engaging, and for reshipping time and again as we shredded their ships out from under them. They provided a lot of fun, and good practice with target-switching, ECM harassment, and general good fleet tactics. We would have benefitted from having some ECM of our own, or at least things would have gone faster, but since we were transitioning immediately from a site-running fleet (do PvE in PvP ships!) we mostly had DPS and logi. It worked out in the end.

Sorry for those of you looking for another glorious welp. There's always next time!


Very nice fight by the sounds of it, and I'm sad I didn't get to be there for it.

I have a second battle-report, but it's so long that I can't fit it in a single post on these forums. It can be read on our EVE-Uni Work Fair thread, which allows like 10 time as many characters than these forums. http://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtopic.php?f=66&t=18409&p=626977#p626977 It's the fight also seen in U-Boat 14.

Hi there o/
I put an app in last night & will drop into the public chat later on tonight.
