Wormholes

That reminds me of a time we saw a Thanatos on scan at the sun, only to realize it was not piloted. We scanned a few wormholes deep and found a route out to low sec with it.

means you dont have to put in your pos password to swap ships right?

i seriously hope you grabbed some bombers and blew that **** up...

I remember we found a pos with no offensive modules with the SMA about 50km outside the shields. Probably more of a bug than a fail, but you never know. Nothing particularly good dropped out of it unfortunately.

You forgot to say that I had already taken one of their covetors...
And that the raven decided to mwd to every offline gun/ecm to online it.

Guys, do you want to tell us something?

cmon no new stories? this is my favorite thread lets keep it from getting buried

This isn't too much fail, but it's a nice writeup by a corpmate of mine:

It had been a good week for me. I killed a primae, practiced my target calling and found some fail.

But the real fun started at the end of the week. I had gotten my alt trapped in a c2 by going in an eol hole a few days previous. The new HS was an island that was 21 jumps from vero. I decided to camp around their system abit. Leading up to Friday I had ganked their CEOS covetor. What did they do to catch this fearsome cheetah? Bubble their HS of course! Unfortunately, they anchored the bubble from the direction of their pos. A bubble won't catch a cheetah really, but it will catch a pod you try and warp from the pos to HS. Sooo good game, you caught your own pod in your own bubble. After this what is left to do but try it again in a hawk? Luckily a dual web astarte can melt a hawk, trololol.

Now these guys were pretty upset by this point. They finally took down the bubble and warped 2 tech3s and a drake to the hole and sat 20k off of it, waiting for me to come in. I was in HS with the astarte, so I'm sure they were expecting that. However, I decided to bring a few friends which they didn't expect. Our friends burned 14 jumps fairly quickly and voila, we engaged. It didn't go well for them. Now notice the tengu was very expensive and it was also the ceos. A little later, a guy that was getting a little hot headed toward me tried to bait me. Well I took the bait and survived, but my cheetah hit 33% structure that round.

The next day I sent the CEO a mail, offering to leave for 300 mil. After some confirmation from my directors, he paid and I left, but not before killing a gentleman on the way out of their static c3. I tipped my directors. The guy ended up being very chill with the ransom and started hanging out in Lost-pub. I told him to give us a shout if he ever needed anything. Cool fellow.

Then the rest of the weekend started to get really interesting. We found some bait in a c5 off of a c2 connected to vero. We formed up a nice fleet and ganked the bait. Then we ran away. Our scouts saw the enemy fleet mobilize and start moving around the c2. We decided we would engage. The following battle lasted a good 20 minutes jumpin in and out of the c5 then following the stragglers back to their wormhole. I called primaries like a beast and they didn't do so well. That's what you get for causing my only tech3 loss bastards. Revenge is a sweet thing (I had warped my proteus to dora once and mid warp a 30 man gang landed, bye bye proteus).

Now let me run down the target calling here for people who might not understand what to primary. The falcon was at zero stupidly so that was a no brainer and probably won the fight for us, or made it much easier(we lost our falcon the same way due to fleet warp and him not paying full attention). The next were the hurricanes and brutix (preferably brutix first). High dps ships, but low tanks. Fast to clear off and lowers enemy dps significantly, plus hurricane neuts are problematic. Pretty good primaries there. Next was the slepnir because it also pumps out a shitton of dps. Then we began work on some of the tankier ships: tengu and drake. Not terribly too dps and tanky so they were last on the priorities for me. I decided to give most of the faction loot to our lost falcon pilot and the rest our pilot that had lost the hurricane. Quick and easy.

After this, we closed the hole and went plexxing. Yay! During the plex op, a few proteus started messing around on the HS but a few of my alts and people left in vero scared them off again. They didn't seem to like my abso fit, I'm not sure why, and I called them pansies for fighing on a hisec. After the plex fleet they decided to come back. At this point we had pretty good numbers since the plex had finished. We noticed the Proteus on d-scan. This guy was sitting at 0 on the HS hole. Turns out this is a guy that earlier today had come with 2 proteus's and just tangled with Sin but no kills were made before everyone left.

Well they came back wanting to fight again I guess. Second proteus wasnt online, just the one proteus. We decided to form up in battleships and send them to the HS hole and jump out heavy (it was half mass already). At this point one of our guys jumped back in followed by the battleships again. The hole sputtered and whined, then after 10 seconds closed. The proteus was trapped.

We immediately pointed the Proteus and 2 manticores decloaked and launched bombs. Point was gotten on one manticore and we primaried the Proteus. The first manticore however got out of point range and warped. Proteus then was destroyed and his pod warped. Second manticore was grabbed with a point and popped. His pod warped.

Cue 5 minutes of bouncing around vero while Bane works on a ransom fee for these guys. They quickly pay 500 million for a way out.

So we let them out, turns out they had about 10 billion in pods (Zerhix was running high grade slaves and officer hardwires, about 6 bil for his pod). Still though, we honor ransoms and we got our 500 mil out of them

A friend of mine is notorious for doing random, stupid things and having random, stupid things happen to him. The best one I have yet heard was when we lived in a C4 (may have been a C5 it was awhile back) with a C3 static, and this fellow was out mining in his hulk. This particular day we had a nul sec system connected to our hole, and apparently someone out there was bored. Because as my friend was afk mining, a carrier come in, warps in on him, kills his hulk, and then wanders off again with nary a word said to the rest of us who were in the next hole doing anoms. lol Was an amusing event to hear about and is the perfect representation of the random **** that happens to my buddy lol.

No, I would never talk about someone you know......
