Shoutout to Sergeant RL3, rEvolutionTU, viceorvirtue, caelum terra, and Kwark. Kill lots! GL HF If this isn't a troll. I'd just like to quickly apologise for all the shit I gave you for losing a vaga attacking a hulk in hisec(thinking it was losec) and then losing another one to an aoe doomsday. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavours and may you stay safe and healthy. P.S.: And don't die in some freak boating accident. I'll be so torn my mind will rip itself in 2. P.P.S.: Next time you see deadali say "mrš u kurac" | ||

Speaking as Rage grunt, I actually agree that it's better to just blob PL. I know its sounds awful, but PL are just so much better than us that we gain nothing through losing except embarrassment. I'm all for losing when we actually gain valuable experience and come back better next time. Against PL this just doesn't happen. It reminds me of about six months ago when lots more groups roamed our space. We would get tooled by everyone except the Solar pets at the time, and even against them was even chance most times. Guys like darkside would just fucking massacre us, and we would lose participation in HDs across the board because of it. However, we started picking our fights more wisely and gained valuable experience and confidence, win or lose, against enemies of ever-increasing quality. By the end we could at least challenge a darkside gang to a reasonable fight with similar numbers and ship quality. PL are just too fucking good, consistently. You are victims of your own success and image. I would love to be able to even lose with dignity against a reasonably matched PL fleet. As it is we can't beat you <4:1. So fuck it, why bother? Plenty of groups out there whom we can reasonably match or at least lose to in a way where we gain something. Sad as it is, I think that's the reality for a lot of us. | ||

We jumped on in and immediately gunned down a cane. They were all over the place, one of their canes was trying to kill me in the rapier and I was just holding him at 22k while the other guys were on Caelum. However our focussed fire and lack of purger rigs left them a cane down while Caelum was still on half shield. We'd spread our points and with a nanocane and stasis on their second cane Caelum was able to get out as his shield broke, just before their second cane went down. There was nothing the drake could do, he tried to kill me because the rapier was the most expensive and fragile thing we had but I could just align out, stasis him and disengage myself while Orandos cleaned it up. Very easy victory over a pretty comparable fleet. We just flew better, abused range and stasis and had decent fits. Wasn't much they could do. We continued to roam and I scanned down a harb beltratting and held it for the fleet. Another easy kill, 4 bcs for 0 losses. We continued towards out exit and found a gatecamp with a hictor in the last system. A muninn, a falcon (cloaked, we didn't know about this yet), a rff, dramiel, devoter, deimos and a drake were there I think. We could just go through it and rapier disengage but after weighing it up we decided it was time to put our nano to the test. We triggered the trap, burned off and disengaged the tackle with the rapier. They launched a billion ecm drones and the falcon got in. With the rapier jammed we couldn't really isolate ships to gun them down and it was pretty much a standoff with VoV killing ecm drones for kicks while both sides did no real damage. I decided to call a disengage, set our align point to our outgate to lowsec and told people to pull drones and deaggress. Everyone was aligned and I said warp at the precise moment an overheated 30k point hit orandos' drake. This was awful timing. If I'd said it a second earlier we'd all be out, a second later and we'd have seen and I could have stasised the devoter and allowed orandos to burn out. Instead we were trapped in a 30 AU warp while the rest of them seized the chance and ran him down. I took the rapier back to see what I could do but he was scrammed by then. Not really much blame to be had for it. The rapier should be the last man on the field but I had called an align, everyone was aligned and nobody was pointed so when I say warp it wasn't unreasonable to immediately warp myself. Equally orandos was on his first nano roam and you can easily be taken by surprise by how quickly an overheated mwd and overheated point can come out of nowhere. Obviously it's on him to notice it earlier and either overheat himself or tell me but it was incredibly unlucky that the point hit the second I said warp (for those who don't know an aligned ship warps instantly, the only delay was the reaction time between me saying warp and him hitting the button). I was more than happy to reimburse the loss and call it a win at 4 kills to 1 loss. you need to put this much effort into your SC BRs in terms of making the tenses consistent | ||

I was more than happy to reimburse the loss and call it a win at 4 kills to 1 loss. On another note this was a superbly run op. Comms were tight as hell and we got shit done incredibly effectively and with as little panic as possible. Even when we were baiting that trap everything seemed completely under control, and it was. I'm learning a lot on these ops and am finally going to give in to Kwark's pressure and start FCing some stuff soon. Going to start small with some frig roams I think, try to see if I can at least not get everyone killed, and get some corp members trained on how scouting works (scouting on ops the past few weeks has been a complete disaster unless handled by a select few people). I've been tagging along on every op I can trying to learn how this shit works, and thanks to kwark and caelum for showing me how it all works, I'm finally starting to feel a little more comfortable instead of the normal "OMFG THERES A RED ON GRID OMGOMGOMG". Pretty cool. | ||
