The goal of the fleet was to hotdrop, it was announced before the fleet even left ichoriya.


I imagine it must have been strange being in an incursion constellation and equally as odd seeing it lift.

I enjoyed the last month or so of FW pretty well with the Warzone fairly evenly contested. Not sure how things are going to be the next month or so though. :-/

I'll start. Anybody missing drakefleets yet? Bear


Mentioned this in a post about a month ago, I used to love the old nano drake fleets and miss them a lot. FC's like yourself and gunny taking guys out and opening fleets up to general militia (allthough general militia channel wasnt as full of shady LP whores and gal/min alts then as it is now). Was all brand new to me then, opened up a whole new part of EVE to me, oh how the world seemed so bright and faction warfare seemed so promising...


Now I hate everyone and want to shoot everything Twisted


Perhaps the old nano-drake fleets are to blame for corrupting me. I blame Gavin and Gunny primarily Blink

I've got a serious question for you, though. There was this one time last year where you brought some BS out to chase a Julius bunker busting gang out in Athounon / Mercomesier. Thing was, the constellation was under incursion. Incursions mean cyno jammers. Both our gangs wait for one to jump into the other while an unfortunate Rote Kapelle alpha 'nado fleet rolls through most of your EWAR. Coincidence of all coincidences, the incursion ends while we're all on opposite sides of the same gate. We finally brawl, you drop, we counter drop hard, a carrier dies on each side, you guys bail off, RK comes in and they blap most of our small stuff and leave. All this to say... did you plan on fighting in a cyno-jammed system, or did you plan on not having it and reacted when incursion miraculously dropped?

*edit* remember like 2 years ago when I hotdropped my triage alt on every other fleet I was on. Someone referred to it as pandora's box. It's hard to get away from that image once you start Cool Everyone that knew me expected triage, even when I wasn't using it. I'm really trying to avoid that right now for the sake of fun brawls.




I'm pretty sure we weren't aware of the incursion when we originally planned it. Or at least...i didn't think the incursion was in that actual system the hotdrop was gonna go down at. And i remember the other caps coming in for that fleet being more of a mad scramble for backup than being organized ahead of time. But it's a little fuzzy. I think at most it was 1-2 that were actually ready if we wanted...the rest was a scramble.

What struck me the most that night was...we're sitting just outside of the constellation, getting ready to go, and right before we say to jump, the incursion is over! I mean...what are the fuckin' odds? *edit* no, i had no idea that was gonna happen either Straight

Haaaaaalp my head's on fire
