Alliance & Corporation Recruitment Center

Another quick round up. The weekend I managed 36 Kills including a Brutix, Myrmidon, Ishtar, SFI, Ishkur, Slicer, Vagabond, Rokh and a Sentinel. Eleven of those kills were solo, although they tended to be T1 frigates. All this came for the loss of 5 Breachers and an Exequror Navy Issue

Tuesday 4th February 2014

I was on fire tonight! Started off in a novice plex in a Slicer. Two neutral kestrels came to the gate, I yelled for help. First one came in and I killed it, then tackled the second, help arrived but I was still top damage and would have been able to solo both.

With the plex finished. I warped to Kourm and jumped in. There on the other side was a WT Noobship and WT Condor. I killed and podded the noobship and then turned on the Condor. He warped out just as another WT Condor warped in. I killed it, then a WT Slicer arrived. I was carrying damage and aware of the other condor, so warped to a safe, called for help, warped back and got tackle on. Friends arrived but I was primaried and this was a known boosted player. Sure enough my damage climbed quicker than his. I burned out and made range with just 55 HP of structure remaining. He popped with myself getting top damage.

Went back to Huola and repaired. The call went out that there were WTs in Huola and I joined the chase, there were about 6 of us chasing after them mainly in frigates. We killed a Griffin and Condor in a plex then a Deimos and Caracal in the Research Outpost. Out to Roushzar and we killed an Algos and Corax (+ pod), then back in Huola a Dragoon.

Civil war has broken out in the Minmatar Militia. Everyone has decced Biohazard after they decided that friendly moon mining POSs didn't come under the Militia umbrella and were fair game. They had taken at least 4 POSs off other Minmatar Militia corps over the last few days and adopted the attitude that they were too big to be stopped and the rest of us had to STFU and accept the situation. The war went live around 2000 hrs this evening.

Biohazard are absolutely awful pilots individually, but they can pull out the blob, their favourite being a Talwar blob. It was decided that we would ship into Arty Ruptures and pay them a visit. We were around 25-30 strong at that point. We only got as far as the Kourm gate when we met a neutral Ferox and alpha'd him off the field. We moved onto Bosboger and broke a biohazard gatecamp on the Dammalin gate, but only killed a Condor. Although a couple of the fleet also got a solo Talwar + half billion pod while in transit. Biohazard promptly docked up.

After playing docking cames for a few minutes, we returned to Huola. Just as we were getting back a report came in that they had reshipped into the Talwar blob and were chasing after us. It was decided to reship into Drakes as we had already played the Arty Rupture hand. We warped down to the Kourm gate and jumped in as our scouts reported Biohazard on the Kourm gate in Auga. However, we found ourselves jumping into their batphone, a heavy cruiser gang with logistics from Suddenly Spaceships. Biohazard saw that we were now in Drakes and decided to stay out of it. We slaughtered SS and apparently that created some bad blood between them and Biohazard.

I took time off for tea during which the Talwar blob was engaged and partially destroyed. I came back after biohazard had reshipped into BS and friendlies were streaming back to Houla to ship up too.

We stacked on the Bosboger gate in Gulmorogod with about 15 BS, 5 Guards + support. Myself in a TFI. They undocked 17 BS, 2 Guards, 1 Onerios + support in Bosboger and warped down to the other side of the gate. Then they paused and waited. Our FC correctly predicted that they were getting a carrier ready to drop.

Eventually they jumped into us. We dropped a Cyno Jammer, but before it activated a Thanatos jumped in. In the meantime we had primaried one of their Guardian. This went down rather slowly, but eventually popped. We switched to the Thanatos. It dipped into Armor and started repping itself. Our reps meanwhile reported they were struggling to hold, we had lost 2 Myrmidons and an Armageddon and a huge effort was taking place to try and save Susan Black's Armageddon. It was also reported that they were shooting the cyno jammer.

Finally the Thanatos capped out and armor damage climbed rapidly. The Cyno jammer popped and SC jumped in with 17 BS, 9 T3s (mostly Proteus) and a Command Ship. We finished off the Thanatos, burned for the gate, deaggressed and jumped to Bosboger.

Isk wise we were slightly ahead, although they were left holding the field. Moral wise, taking a carrier off them when (with SC) they outnumbered us more than 2:1 was huge. We were well pleased with ourselves. Shaping up to be a really good war.

The fleet was disbanded and we streamed back to Huola in noobships, leaving our BS behind for the next night. An hour later I decided to run a plex in Huola before binning it and then found a WT Comet and WT Tormentor in the plex. Only SERIFOS was on comms and after some discussion we decided he would go in a Comet with myself in an Inquisitor. He went in first and started on the WT Comet. I enter the plex, repped up SERIFOS and then burned to range as I became primary. The WT Comet popped and incoming damage reduced considerably. The Tormentor finally popped with myself in half armor.

SERIFOS logged, I got back into a Slicer and went back to the plexing plan. But then landed on a neutral Arbitrator on the plex gate. Tackled it and PM'd an LNA guy in local to come and help. He arrived in a Comet and then a friendly Vexor also came in, Arbitrator went down.

Ended the night 22 kills for no loss. Sec Status -6.3

Thursday 6th / Friday 7th February 2014 (+Saturday morning)

A major operation had been planned against Winmatar on Thursday night and it begin with the moving of assets between Huola and Lulm, dozen of Carrier and JF jumps were made back and forth.

A large fleet around 100 strong, came together for around 2200 hrs. It was decided we would go in BCs as Shadow Cartel and others were likely to get involved if we deployed too blingy a comp. We went with ABCs and Rail Feroxs, the latter to combat the expected Talwar blobs, I was in a Ferox. The target was Winmatar's Titan Pos in Bosboger and it was a real deathstar of a POS.

An epic POS bash, FC'd by Annah Kitheran, ensued which lasted more than 3 hours. Winmatar repeatedly welped Talwar fleets into us and we alphaed them off the field. The POS had numerous ECM mods active and these seemed to remove us from the fight about 40% of the time. An active POS gunner took his toll too and took down around a dozen Tornados, although none from Iron Oxide. At one point we decided to reship into BS but as soon as we did, Shadow Cartel pulled out half a dozen Carriers and 4 or 5 Dreadnoughts in Avenod. I had my cyno/scout alt in system. I made the report and Annah decided to go back to BCs. Eventually, the POS went into reinforced mode at 0206 hrs and the timer was discovered to be 26 hours. An alarm clock op was scheduled to begin at 0330 hrs on Saturday morning.

People were worried that we wouldn't be able to get a good enough fleet together at that time, but when it came, almost a 100 people turned up. This time we took BS, myself in a TFI.

There was trouble getting it off the ground. Predator Elite had a big gang of T3s nearby and we weren't certain which if any side he would take. Winmatar got to the POS with their Scimitars first and started repping it while hectic talks took place. Preds gang turned up at the POS and drove off the Scimitars and then we got the word that Pred wanted to blue with us for the operation. So we warped in.

There was talk that Winmatar had 80 T3s on standby and around 25 BS and 3 Carriers were already on the POS when we landed. We targeted the Thanatos first, the same pilot as the one who lost his Thanatos on Tuesday. This time it took less than a minute to take it down. An Archon followed in the next minute, the 3rd Carrier made it into the POS shields. Then we turned on the BS. Annah DC'd and Lory took over target calling. Time dilation hit around 70%. CCP came into system to see what was going on and in short order reinforced the node, wishing us good fight. Annah came back, dropped again, came back but left Lory target calling.

20 Winmatar BS went down along with an Astartes and a Proteus. Shadow Cartel arrived in a load of Ishtars. I think they claimed they were here to shoot the POS, but then I believe they had a punch up with Pred's gang. We concentrated on the Tower and it went down at 0535 with myself getting final blow. Our own losses were very light, I think we lost 3 ships, a Tornado from Iron Oxide, then a BS and a T3 from other participants.

We took down several of the POS mods, but it was getting confusing between SC and Pred's lot. It was decided to clear the field and get our shinies safe. We warped back to Lulm, docked up and most people dropped fleet. Quite a few of us were still buzzing with adrenaline. About an hour later I brought my Cyno/Scout alt back from Avenod and warped him to the site of the battle for a look. I found a Winmatar Maulus, Slicer, Thrasher and Caracal on field with two hauler warping in and out. I undocked with Trant in a Slicer and made my way over, warped in and out a few times grabbing loot and drones off the field. Managed to catch the Maulus on it's own and killed it, then killed one of the haulers, an Iteron V. The Caracal nearly killed me but I warped off with armor damage. All the time my alt was cloaked up nearby and then an Archon landed on field. I reported this and around half a dozen people still active warped over which included Annah. Sadly the Archon warped out before they arrived, but we killed the Caracal and took control of the field. Someone went off and got a Bestower. I suddenly realised that I had one in Dammalin and went and fetched it on my alt. I ended up recovering around 30 mods worth 280M Isk and assumed the other Bestower did the same.

We learnt later that one of the Winmatar Titan pilots had deflected prior to hitting the POS. Obviously he took his Titan with him. Where he went I don't know. That leaves them with one Titan. Apparently around 30 members have dropped from Winmatar since this war started.

Monday 10th / Tuesday 11th February 2014

The last couple of days has seen the destruction of another Winmatar POS in Lulm, bringing the total to four, at least ones that I've been involved in.

A few Winmatar and a lot of T3 support from Suddenly Spaceships rolled up to interfer with the first part of the operation. A ranged engagement occurred near the undock of the Lulm station we were staging out of. Two or three ships were lost by both sides, mostly small stuff, but one Ferox from us which rattled our FC as he had calculated pre battle that they wouldn't be able to alpha through the Feroxs. After a post mortum on the matter it was concluded that the guy in question had been double boxing, hadn't noticed the initial damage and simply hadn't broadcast for reps.

In the meantime Pandamic Legion had turned up looking to interfer as well and not fussy who they engaged. With the Ferox post-mortum still ongoing, we docked and left the two of them to fight it out, which largely ended all opposition to the op. Winmatar came back alone later in a few Talwars and succeeded in losting 4 of them before running away. The POS was finally put into reinforced mode, the second time it had been in 3 days, only this time the timer was favourable.

The next day we formed up to finish the POS off. Winmatar made no real attempt to interfer, although Suddenly Spaceships brought a Tengu + support gang over to try and broadside us, losing a Scimitar and Lachesis for their efforts. Other than a minor delay, it was a very easy POS takedown.

At other times Iron Oxide ran a Vexor Navy Issue roam and got some good kills. In addition there has been a lot of skirmishing around the plexes in Huola, including some good logi assisted frigate brawls.

Those two days saw me notch up 36 kills for the loss of a Slicer and Thrasher.

Recruitment is now open again, I shall be mailing a few people who contacted me during the war, when I get online tonight, but feel free to bung in an application before then.

Wednesday 19th February 2014

I lost 3 ships today and quite annoyed about all of them. The first was a kiting Slicer, lost to a brawling Slasher. The thing is I held the warp in and should have started the engagement at range, but I wasn't paying attention or orbiting at range, he landed 8 or 9 Kms off and got web and scram on before I could burn out. I went down just as SERIFOS arrived in a Tristan. He was too late to save me but he killed the Slasher. However, following him into the plex came a Harpy. SERIFOS baled just as I returned in a Heretic. I went in and found the Harpy out of position looting, I long pointed and kited him. SERIFOS returned in a Catalyst and helped finish him off, then scooped the loot. He then proceeded to whing at me for scooping his Tristan drones, but he had scooped the Harpy loot which in turn had scooped my Slicer loot. I tell you what, I'm known as a loot wh*re but SERIFOS surpasses even me.

The second loss was worse. Bengal had found three frigates in a small in Sosala. Zen and I went over to assist. Bengal however, was in a kiting Slicer and thought he could run the guantlet, get to range and long point one of them before we arrived, possibly taking one down and then moving onto the next. He got caught on the warp in, but took down a Condor with him. Leaving just a Rifter and Incursus remaining. Zen was in a Tristan, I was in a Heretic. Looked like an easy fight and we went in. I was primaried, we primaried the Rifter. I was webbed almost to a standstill and was shocked at how much damage was incoming plus how well the Rifter tanked our damage. With my final salvo I managed to pop the Rifter and then I was in a pod myself. Zen went on to kill the Incursus, but it was a poor exchange.

We podded back to Huola. A pirate Cyclone was sighted, Bengal and I reshipped into Drakes. We stacked on the Roushzar gate while Zen was searching Roushzar for it. Neither of us were firing on all cylinders that day. We didn't notice local spike and even aggressed the first one that arrived. The blob landed, around 50, mostly in frigates and we both lost our drakes.

I took a Leopard to a DED station and handed over 6 Clone Recruiter tags + 24M Isk to take my sec status from -7.51 to -4.51 reasoning that if I hadn't been flashy, I probably wouldn't have aggressed and then I would probably have got my Drake out or at least caused them significant losses from gate guns.

After a long break AFK, I came back and decided to do one belt ratting circuit of Huola (4 belts), to try and improve my sec status a little further. I undocked and selected warp to the top belt. However, before I went to warp a blob of neutral frigates undocked too.

I went to warp but was conscious that they may have seen where I warped to and would follow. Then I landed on a Navy Omen ratting. I remembered a similar incident 5 weeks earlier when I had landed on a Vexor, like this time I was in a gank Comet, I had engaged, been neuted, webbed and scramed and had died fast. This time I baled straight away to a safe.

Only after going to warp did I realise it had been a Navy Omen, not a Navy Vexor. An Omen is a lot more viable for a gank Comet to take on. I scanned to the station, the neutral frigate blob was gone. I scanned to the belt, empty. Damn, I'd missed my chance.

I scanned the other belts and then the plexs but found nothing and finally decided to go back to plan A. I warped to the top belt again... and found the Navy Omen there just finishing off the rats. He was 30 kms off and I only had a short point and AB. But I was able to burn in, scram him and then kill him easily. He was all T1 fit, awful fit. Total loss was only 77M - for a Navy Omen. I podded him too, empty.

I continued ratting and in the forth belt found a Dark Blood frigate, it dropped a Dark Blood EANM worth 69M. I was chuffed.

Ended the day 21 kills for 3 losses.

Saturday 22nd / Sunday 23rd February 2014

Saturday begin with skirmishing around the plexs and some good fights were had, many solo or in twos and threes. At 1930 an op was kicking off. LNA had a POCO coming out of reinforced mode, but the information had reached Iron Oxide late and nobody had posted the op on our forum. I put up the op about 4 hours before it kicked off, but was doubtful that many Iron Oxide would turn up. Few did, but a lot of LNA and other Minmatar Militia did. A respectable fleet 40-50 strong turned out and the POCO was repped up without incident. Somewhat of an anti-climax, so the FC decided to use the fleet for an offensive op.

We were shipping to hit an enemy POCO when RvB were sighted in the area. Their scout was actually streaming and we could see that our fleet had been spotted and their fleet was burning for Huola. Intel came in, they were around 150 strong and had something like 42 Cyclones in their comp. That was clearly too much for us. The FC moved us into a medium plex and we set up. Our comp was shield cruisers with Scythe support, I was in a blaster Moa.

Around 80 of RvB could get into the plex and they came to the gate and activated. A huge punch up ensued which went on for some time. I was never primaried, but their discipline was poor and several times individuals shot at me, webbed and scrammed me. I got reps initially and was able to burn out or shot my way out each time. Eventually our reps went down and bale was called. I was long pointed at the time, but was able to burn out of it and warp off.

Meanwhile Shadow Cartel had dropped on the RvB BCs that couldn't get into the plex. A secondary fight had kicked off on the Roushzar gate in Huola between them. Some of us warped over in Dessies and Frigate to wh*re on and snipe at the periphals. We weren't the only ones, several pirates gangs were doing the same thing and some Amarr too. It was damn dangerous and confusing. A few of us moved to the sun and then planet one and started popping pods that were warping out of the fight.

Pandemic Legion dropped on the fight and there was much bitching in local as everyone baled. However SC rallied and LNA had contacts with them, we were offered the option of joining their fleet and going back in. Armour BS were needed, about 20 of us x'ed up and we joined their comms. I was in a regular Tempest. Shadow Cartel were with Snuffbox and Suddenly Spaceships and it was clear they were already engaged on the Otelen gate in Huola this time. Eve University (Ivy League) had joined the fight, but it wasn't clear whether they were just third partying or had an agenda.

We were undocked and ready to go, but we still weren't in their fleet. It took an age to get our old FC into their fleet and in a position to pick the rest of us up, partly because we didn't want to interrupt the SC FC who was in the middle of target calling. Time dilation was present and as annoying as it was it actually helped us. The SC FC was very calm and eventually we attracted his attention and got sorted.

The moment the fleet invite went up, I clicked yes, then warp. I was already aligned and went straight to warp. In the next second the FC was asking us to bring neuting Armageddons. Too late. I landed and found 7 PL Archons on fields. One was being primaried and I got a couple of volleys off as it went down. We shot at several other targets, but things were not going well. Someone complained that we were giving away the next target by locking up secondaries too early and they were getting reps on too fast. So the FC stopped calling secondaries, problem is most of SC were in T3 cruisers. My tempest was taking 30 seconds or more to lock up each target in that Time Dilation. Targets were either dying or getting reps before I could lock them. I tried to engage a good dozen targets, shot at a few, but only got on one more kill, an Armageddon. Meanwhile it was clear our reps were dying.

The FC started talking about baling and ordered us to align out. He kept asking who is getting primaried by PL, are they alphaing their targets, how are reps holding and who are Ivy League shooting? He consistently got told that yes PL were alphaing through their targets, reps weren't holding and most were dead anyway, Ivy League were only shooting us. Each time he decided we would take a few more before baling, as it became clear that with our reps dead, PL/Ivy League were now targeting the Minmatar Militia BS. F*ck this I thought, I scooped the loot from a nearby BS wreak and warped out.

After the fight was over I went back in a Talwar and later a Thrasher to scoop loot, but a lot of pirates hung around the field and were engaging anyone they could. I warped in and out and got some cheap stuff each time, then lost the Talwar. I then lost a Purifier trying to gank one of the pirate BCs.

According to Dotlan, that day saw 1042 ships and 175 pods die in Huola. Over the course of the weekend I made 66 kills (12 pods) for 6 losses.

Tuesday 25th February 2014

Superb night, too much happened to even begin to explain. Finished the night 44 kills for no loss. Iron Oxide KB shows the alliance getting 145 kills against 12 losses for the day.

Monday 3rd March 2014

Lory was running his Rail Moa comp tonight. Around 15 of us joined up for it, but the warzone was dead. We did gank down a WT PvP fit Tengu in Arzad which foolishly took our bait on a plex gate. In spite of warnings in their Militia chat that we were in the next system. We ganked a few more things mainly catching them on system gates, then rushed back to Kourm to get on the tail end of a fight in a medium plex involving AFs and dessies, managing to kill about four.

I took a break for tea, but didn't return until after the fleet had disbanded. There were a couple of plexes up in Huola, but the system was stable. I kept undocking to scan the plexes while doing some admin, but one plex, a small, was out of scan range, so I put my cyno alt cloaked up off it.

In due course I noticed a WT Crucifier land on the plex. Undocked Trant in a Breacher and warped over. Entered the plex and found him killing the NPCs. Killed and podded him, looted the wreak and returned to station. About 15 minutes later, a neutral Cormorant landed outside the plex. Again I warped over in a Breacher, he was a little off gate, but I was able to burn in and get long point on him. I assumed he would be long range fit and got into a close orbit, but foolishly with MWD still running. He proceeded to rip me to shreads, overwhelming both ASBs, but in deep armor, I was just able to pull range and then sat out at an 18Km orbit and pecked him to death. Surprisingly, he was actually 125mm Railgun fit with no tracking mods.

Another 15 minutes later, I saw SERIFOS land on the gate in a Jaguar, he was almost immediately followed by a flashy Enyo and Stabber belonging to Drunk Chaos. SERIFOS activated and the Enyo followed him in. I jumped into a Hawk and undocked. Frustratingly, SERIFOS wasn't on comms (or in fleet) and I was having to communicate via corp chat and was initially uncertain whether he was reading it. I landed and entered. I was expecting SERIFOS to have killed the guy before I arrived. But when I locked up the Enyo, found him with most of his armor and active repping. So I wasn't just wh*ring on. I got in orbit with scram and web on. The Enyo's damage climbed and bit into structure and then to my horror SERIFOS popped. The Enyo was in half structure, but with the much reduced DPS, his twin reps pulled back his armor. However, I was able to hold him at the edge of scram range and after killing his one drone, he couldn't really touch me. SERIFOS reshipped into an Ishkur and returned to the fight. Then the Enyo's reinforcements arrived, first a Thrasher and then a Comet. The Thrasher came in and burned up to us. Just as it reached us the Enyo popped, then we turned and slaughtered the Thrasher. Meanwhile on the outside of the plex the Comet was just activating. I burned down towards the warp in, but was still 40 kms off when it landed. He could have easily got out, but he was a man of my blood and just had to loot SERIFOS' Jaguar wreak first which had dropped a deadspace AB. He got the loot, but got caught, quickly died and much to SERIFOS' disgust his AB didn't drop a second time.

Ten minutes later a WT Coercer entered the plex. Again I undocked, still in the Hawk, landed, entered and killed the Coercer. Somehow one NPC was still alive in the plex and once again I was robbed of a solo kill.

Another few minutes and I witnesses a blue Slasher land with in short order a suspect Thrasher and a pirate Enyo. All three hurriedly entered and I was given the impression they were chasing one another, but I wasn't too sure whether the Thrasher or Enyo was friendly to the Slasher. I decided to undock in a Breacher and warp over. Checking short scan, the Enyo had gone. I entered and found the Slasher and Thrasher fighting away. I engaged the Thrasher and then saw the Slasher pop. But by then I was at range and the Thrasher was autocannon fit. I proceeded to start kiting him to death. A WT Merlin entered the plex. I assumed he would attack me and considered baling, but hung on to finish the Thrasher. The Thrasher however, engaged the Merlin, catching him at the warp in. Together we finished the Thrasher off, then I switched to the Merlin and killed him too.

Another ten minutes and a neutral Atron arrived. I warped over in a Breacher. He was at range and he warped off before I could get in point range. A few minutes later the same exercise was repeated. On the third attempt I landed on top of him and he scrammed and webbed me. I was still hopeful that I could kill him, then disaster, I suddenly realised that the Thrasher had killed my two drones in the previous fight and I'd forgotten to replace them. Still I was double ASB fit and held up for a while, he I think was single AAR fit, he ran out of charges and I started to break him. Then his friend arrived in another Atron and I popped. I think he would have probably killed me on his own, but if I'd had those drones and his mate had been 30 seconds slower, I might have taken him.

Sad end to a good string and then I made it worse losing an Arty Wolf to an Arbitrator although I did kill and pod another Crucifier. Ended the night 21 kills for 2 losses.

Sunday 10th March 2014

I logon and undock in a Breacher, scan the plexes and see activity at the Novice. I warp over and find two Smile and Wave frigates on the gate, a Russian Militia corp. Inside the plex are a Firetail and Condor. I figure the three of us should be able to handle them if we all go in, trouble is we're not on comms together (and never are with S&W), that has caused problems in the past. Still this time it is pretty obvious, I activate the gate, expecting them to see and follow.

At that point a neutral Kestrel lands on the gate. I try to cancel, but too late and go in. I get tackled at the warpin and although I hold for a while with dual ASBs, no help comes and eventually I'm in a pod. Later I find a Caldari frigate wreak on the gate, so S&W killed the Kestrel, that was nice for you guys! I was raging.

I get an alt out in a Purifier and leave him cloaked off one of the plexes. Presently I see a friendly Rupture land and get tackled by a neutral gang of Frigates, including AFs, a couple of S&W guys warp in at range and snipe around the peripherals. I decided to ship into a RLML Caracal and warp at 50.

The Rupture pops, S&W bale and I land right on top of a Crow and Condor and within 30 Kms of the rest of the neutrals. I'm immediately tackled but burn away with MWD running, it seems they only have long points and no webs. I kill the crow and then the condor, but others have got tackle on me, most notably a Hawk. However, the Hawk is taking damage, a Weazl Omen (Micky Nox) has landed along with a CTRL-Q Tristan, the neutrals don't seem to be led and divide their DPS. However the Hawk stays on me, I empty my launchers on him, leaving him in half armor and wait for the reload cycle. We have drifted off the battle and Micky has stopped firing at the Hawk, it continues flying alongside me, shooting away but causing little damage. I'm barely in half shield when the reload completes. The Hawk dies in 2 or 3 salvos. I turn back but the rest of the neutrals bale.

A WT Arbitrator warps in at range. A known boosted kiter and sure enough he is fast, I managed to get close enough to unload half a dozen salvos and he bales. Four or five other friendlies are on the field by this stage and they start chasing after him. I'm not expecting them to catch him and don't follow but eventually they catch and kill him and I end up third place on the KM. Meanwhile I'm looting the field, warping back to station to unload and rep heat damage, then back to the plex for more loot. One of the neutral Condors had returned and I quickly kill it. Then a neutral Bantam and Cormorant warp in and I kill both although none of the last three were pure solo.

The day wears on and some big events occurs. A massive op to finish off a Suddenly Spaceships POS in Bosbogger, we were ready to take them on, but it ends when they batphone Shadow Cartel and we blue ball them instead. Then two epic fights with Sex Panthers in Huola, involving Guards and BS and both times we had to drop a carrier to turn the battle for us. Frankly they were the better team, but both battles were drawn out Logi stalemates and ended with remarkably few losses. We lost 2 Brutix in the first battle and they lost a Vexor Navy Issue. In the second they lost a solitary Guard.

It was getting quite late, but LNA were on by then and I like running in their laid back, totally chaotic skirmishing fleets. So I stayed on and a remarkable number of blingy kills were made. A Huggin and Loki in Kourm, then a Pilgrim out in Labapi. Next a Deimos and Hyperion in Huola, what were they thinking? Loads of smaller kills too.

In the early hours of Sunday morning, fleet activity was waning. A fair sized WT gang of frigates and dessies come into Huola belonging to Evil Monkeys Asylum, there is about a dozen of them. They split up and start bouncing around the plexes trying to catch farmers. My alt is cloaked up off one of them and presently I note 2 dessies and 2 frigate are on the gate and ideal targets for another run out in my RLML Caracal. I warp in at 50, shoot and kill one of the condors, the second bales, leaving a Thrasher and Algos. I target the Algos and then the blob lands. I finish the Algos and burn away, but now there is a whole host of them mostly in Condors with long points on me. I shoot and kill the nearest condor and then fire my last two salvos at the next. It puts him into deep structure. But now my reload cycle kicks in. I launch my drones and they pop him. lol! The reload cycle completes and I'm still not even in half shields. I pop two more Condors and then the rest bale, leaving me to pod the final victim. What a superb result. For me at least.

Ended the day/night 40 kills for 1 loss.
