Warfare & Tactics

An armour BS minmatar fleet was formed to bring down a hostile customs office in Houla at 00:30 today, Around 30 pilots were in fleet and local sat at 70 so it looked to be a pretty decent fight.

We began pounding the customs office with little resistance from the amarr as they formed up. Eventually with the CO at low HP they began warping in the bulk of their fleet and dropped a triage niddy at range, we responded dropping an archon on field at 0 and engaging the triage carrier itself.

The hostile niddy began melting fast and there were doubts as to whether or not he actually activated his triage module. With the niddy at low armour the amarr brought in 4 more capital ships, a triage archon and 3 revelations. The niddy began to claw back armour even under overloading. However because this new triage carrier was placed badly only a small bump was required to knock the niddy out of range of the archon, where it melted quickly.

The revelations were also well out of effective range of our triage carrier meaning they were unable to stress its tank or capacitor, as we quickly melted the amarr archon the revelations began self destruct cycles and we were unable to kill any of them before the self-destructs finished.

The amarr sub-capital fleet quickly fled the scene and the customs office was destroyed without incident. Throughout the fight our triage carrier and logistic pilots repped well and only a lone BC was lost before reps could land. Because we took so few losses the battlereport does not show the extend of the amarr sub-capital fleet which was fairly similar in size and composition to our own.


Battlereport

Thanks to pilots on both sides a GF was had and ended a period of relative quiet in the area.

Eran, I think you need to fire whoever your In-Cyno was...

anyone else the the irony in the minmatar fleet deploying an archon and the amarr fleet deploying a niddy?
