my day in w-space

Now I'm sure we've all lucked out at some point or another and this is my story.

I live in w-space, this character is my main and has spent at least 75% of his time in w-space. I got into it about 3-4 weeks after I joined and am never going to leave.

So today started out like any other day, I woke up pissed off but kind of happy because It was an off day. I had my coffee and logged into eve. I start mining send the orca out to get fuel, create a recruitment ad, read the recruitment channel talk to people and get ready to set up my shiny new medium pos.

About 19:30-20:00 eve time a personal issue comes up and requires my immediate attention. I get up and race out of the house and happened to forget to log out of eve.

I lost a venture but who cares about ventures, you're average eve player pisses ventures. I look at my main (this guy) and realize somethings going on with my small pos. I zoom out and realize I'm being attacked. I start moving to change the stront levels so it would come out when I'm normally on. The guy notices me moving around and says this.

I'm talking on TS trying to get a few people on to help. Its just a vindi and two tengu's I should be ok. I got ahold of one corp mate so I had a legion coming. With my alts and everything I can fly a loki and an oneiros and an exqueror so maybe just maybe I could keep my guys alive and go kill these guys and live to fight another day.

But then all of a sudden on my overview, more ships are arriving, first one then two then about four more. I tell them on TS don't worry about it. It'll be too much to handle.

So I'm sitting there staring at my pos. I'm trying to prepare myself for its eventual loss, because unless I can figure out a way to come up with a serious amount of isk. I'm screwed.

Then suddenly out of the corner of my eye I notice something strange on the overview. What is this? Its a pod...why is some idiot flying a pod to a pos bash. But he wasn't.....There was a wreck there too.
The pod disappears
http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=16799879

I'm just sitting there thinking...what in the hell, why did that happen? Is this some instance of friendly fire. I start clicking on all the other people who weren't there before. I start to notice something. They are all apart of the same alliance. Then I notice the drone ball on the vindicator, I click to look at it and just moments later, the vindicator is destroyed.

I'm sitting there just thinking over and over and over what the **** what the ****
I decide to type in local WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE IN MY WORMHOLE in a manner of some guy running around his house with his hands up and no ******* clue whats going on. Not angry, just confused.
nothing in local...
So i decide to ask...
Did I just get saved? five Pilots reply with a yes, you're lucky etc as they tear down the **** cage that had proved to be the assailants demise and the saviors friend.

and the last words i got from maki...
[21:54:22 ] Maki V > u lucky ************ srsl


Moral of the story, dickstars don't really work and small poses are only good for the first few weeks. Thank god I got the medium ready and waiting.and turrets... tons of turrets.


Edited: For eve-kill instead of battle clinic.

I really wish life would end so i could have more time for eve.

You were doing so well... then you linked to battleclinic :(

Do have to wonder what on earth they were doing bashing a POS with that setup tho... vindicator and all without hole control/properly monitoring sigs.

Dickstars do work, assuming large tower and you have friends to come bail you out. They will buy you more time. Deathstars work to but only if you have plenty of pos gunners to man those guns.

Unfortunately, we forgot to fraps this incident...

However, We're not the nice guys you make us out to be :)

We were stalking your orca... followed it all the way out to Maiah, back to Amarr, and then to the gate where it stopped when you realized bringing it in was a bad idea. We were in the adjacent C2 ready to snag.

Our scout informed us of your visitors, and your lack of POS guns... then "wait, thats a bustard dropping bubbles".... when we realized it was a **** cage we were so mad because we knew it would spook the orca away.

Then when they started POS bashing we knew the orca wasn't going to happen. Then they made the mistake of putting a vindicator inside their own bubble... had our scout move in, and then once it was webbed/extra points: we warped a small contingent of ships in and cleaned up.

I don't always fly a 2 bil isk pod, but when I do I sit in my own warp disrupt bubble AND I make darn sure the gunnery bonuses are unrelated to my ship.

After we realized you were being ransomed, we decided to take our kills and move on with our day instead of hoping for the orca to eventually show up. btw, dickstars are semi-useful, but no POS set up is immune to a bashing crew. The only thing that will save a tower from a determined fleet is a bigger more determined fleet.

Nice or not my ass got saved. I know damn well moving into w-space isn't going to be easy at all. When I saw what was going on I knew my chances were slim. Then you guys came. Nice or not, stalking my orca or not. I feel greatful.

If you guys hadn't come I was going to get together what I could out of friends and call in an IOU and see if I could gather enough people to fend for myself.

Hell if I knew you were after the orca I still wouldn't care.

I'm a new corp just moved in and trying to recruit and get members.

I really wish life would end so i could have more time for eve.
