Kinda working on a supercap focused video, tho Im still collectiong footage as Supercap fights tend to be one sides a lot of the time, tho sometimes u gather some bether bits.

By no means no perfect execution of a hotdrop but still worked out, 5 caps down for the enemy, non for us.

Local was around 170, with prob 120-150 of them beeing cva or cva friends.

Pl fish fleet consisted of 7 supers and a bunch of neutral cyno alts.

BR orginally posted on kugu(which seems to still be censored by ccp)



BR about PLs supercap fleet in H6:
Yesterday I got knowledge from shadoos space adjutant Nestorx85 that Waffels(abos) and their allies was gonna defend some station in H6,(that belonged to waffels friends).
So I setuped a fishing cyno chain to providence since we are pretty buzy with other stuff down in -a-/ROL space atm.
Hours go by with my own eyes on the CVA pos in H6, seeing 6 caps(5 carriers and a dread) like a hour before the station exites RF, locals is pretty controlable with roughtly 50 people in it.
So took the chance for possible blueball-wasting-fuel-OP and start moving the fishing gang(7 experinced armor supers) which lands at the last mid 2 min before the station exites RF. Was tempted to bring titans+support, but figured it would be harder to sneak 100 PL guys into providence as I would have do to a mid in providence itself and risk getting spotted. Also Im no real FC , so I just decided to stick with the fishermen of the legion that I can grab hold off/know personally are good guys.

Closer to the station exit local start filling up , been around 160ish which is mostly CVA+friends in local,(not really perfect for some quick drop) as station exites RF the 6 cva caps I got eyes on(at their pos) is still sitting totaly still.
Meanwhile I got info from 1 of the fishermen that got some commincation with waffels that waffels and their friends apparently where getting raped (loosing 2 archons) somewhere else in system.
Now Waffels are like your ******** brother for us pandemic legion men so I felt bad for not been able to help/support them(but I basicly knew/assumed CVA had a spy among the waffels)so all I can do is wait for the CVA caps to go to station and revange the poor waffels.

now 5 min after station exited RF around 100 CVA in mostly battleships and Bcs+few guardians and random scrublord ships is sitting below the station shooting it(at 0), at the same time the capitals at the CVA pos is speeding up and sure enough they all warp around 12-13 capitals on the station (around 60% carriers). most of them warp in at 80-100 off the station, tho they are pretty spread up in 2-3 clusters(prob warped in from several different poses that I hadnt checked )

Now 1 thing Ive learned from hard learned experince(after getting tackled alone by trader john and the NC s 65 battleships and hics/guardians gang alongside with tekapos nyx) is that supers without titans(specially after "winter came" is pretty vunerable to 100 bs/support(our nyxes got 15 fighter and our aeons got 10) , even if we can **** the 10+ capitals pretty easy, its easy to get "mudded" down in support , specially since they had logistic on the field. and been 4 mids away from any reinforcment (that wasnt even formed up) and only lifeline(cyno chain) been only usable for sc and carriers I decided to try to buy us as much time cynoing aprox 100km off the main support blob been at 0 on the station, but within 20-40km of a good chunch of their carriers(I was running skirmish links and most is pretty pimp fitted so) cynoed in, started raping , going for carriers close first(dreads was mostly 50-60km off) hoping to kill carriers and then dreads before said dreads exited siege.
Guess Im used to old siege because we where slightly too slow and 6-7 of the caps got away. while we killed 5.

Killing capitals in supers are fun and all, but trying to FC it with 100+ man fleet shooting you, while you got no support yourself is bit stressy, now we had the suprice element(think most of the cva fleet tryed running first, before they realiced it was simply 7 supercaps and nothing more comming)
1 of our nyxes was taking armor damage the entire time (at 93% as we finished the last capital on the field). Some super fishermen was getting distracted trying to kill shiney support ship(entire CVA fleet was now on top of us shooting us furiously, I mean we where killing small support ships with smartbombs that close they where) while I was biting nails trying to get us out of there before things went south, (during the fight I had made a panic ss on our initial cyno in alt).

Tho the SS was kinda between the planets making it hard to align the supergroup together before clicking warp. Sure enough a CVA dictor hero bubbled us as we where about to warp out, but its kinda hard to bubble a supercarrier gang beeing 5km off eachother with officer smartbombs so in slightly 1 by 1 fashion the fishermen left the field.

Now sitting in a bad SS close to sun, we try to move away from eachother(more like Walrus moving on land) , swapping out the tackle for cap rechargers and cloaks up looking for probes. I personally had been repping Duncans nyx the entire fight since he was taking damage and where around 40% cap when I landed at the safe.


Anyways GF CVA and thanks for a exciting op:P
