I did my first 2 l4s yesterday, and no one was there to salvage. It was most disappointing. Not as disappointing as kwark bullying me into salvaging a l5 that gave only a few mil in salvage though >:|
CCP have always been good at creating trailers. I also think all our rifter pilots can relate very heavily to this hahaha.
"they were counting on me to fly 200 clicks directly into a wall of gunfire"
First week in the hatchery you are taught to fly at an angle to lower transversal.
Also, the one fleet warped to planet 5 at 0, and apparently the other fleet did the same, and were then ripped apart in close range. Bad fc warping the fleet at 0 to chase. Also fail for not having scouts in neighboring systems to see the other fleet coming in, unless they got titan bridged, but it didn't look like it.

Something odd about your post made me watch the video again. Neither fleet in vid warped to planet 5 at any point in time and warping to 0 on top of sniper BS to chase is actually the usual best idea to do. It is kind of impossible to tell if they got titan bridged in or not, there's a hyperion is in way where it looks like the origin where sniper fleet came from. (And yes I analyzed the video just to prove you wrong) Got to get mai post count up.
Edit: Oh god, there are abaddons, scorpions, geddons, and a maller trying to snipe at 200km, I think there are more glaring inaccuracies in that video =)

Well Geddons can almost do that
Mmmmmmm, and than they do about as much damage as a rifter.
they didn't get titan bridged. either a) the amarr fleet was stupid and tried to snipe from 200km, which the inty somehow burned with 0 transversal and allowed the gallente fleet to warp to 0, or b) the inty simply burned through the amarr fleet until it was >150km from the gallente fleet then the gallente fleet warped to the inty at range

Beware about falling asleep while doing so, I have 5mil sp and my mael sucks. I'd rather salvage or do sites if I was a total newbie.
i don' think you're doing it right. i only have 7mil sp with over half of it tied up in missiles+drakestuff and i'm still dominating in my mach.

How can you state they didn't get titan bridged with such conviction?!?!? Its an Amarr snipe fleet, and we all know Amarr are rich pplz so they can afford titan bridges. Also, where did you get the idea of the inty burning 150km past the gallente fleet, it shows that in the video the inty pilot sitting directly at 0 in the sniping fleet (you know the part where he says warp to 0). I believe you need to get your eyes checked and your spaceship flying license revoked until than! I'm more surprised that it was a damn gallente inty that did it, those things aren't known for their speed.
video does not accurately depict EVE. How scandalous. Just imagine how thrilling it could have been, if the gallente fleet used a prober instead of the inty.
