Here Machy, Machy, Machy

How many times you get the chance to tackle a ratting Machariel on 0.0?

The perfect combination.

Personally I don't get that many times, and it can provide some intense reactions from the members of the fleet. It happened on HJ-BCH, where we like to go when RL does not allows for more than 1 hour to catch something.

Our gang was composed of a Sabre, Harpy and no-tank-gank-Enyo and as we land on gate Y5-E1U, it flashed. Without knowing what it is, we just chill on the gate waiting for a decloak. Could hardly belive when a Machariel decloaks, so we get on it as fast as possible, orbiting as close as possible, even knowing that there was a good chance he could insta-pop us, or just prolly tank us easily.

Our Sabre gets primaried, and after after a few seconds is instapoped! He had began to slowboat away from the Mach, for some reason (prolly a miss-double click on space), and lost his transversal, paying dealy for it.

After we took care of the drones and started to apply damage onto the Machariel itself, we had another jump-in. A Navy Mega decloaks!

Things were not going well for us. Not only the Machariel is getting backup, we're loosing a golden oportunity for shiny kills!

We still held a bit more, if they were escalading, they could still bring something we could kill. Those ships were PVE fit, so we could bail at any time. Soon after a Talos warps in! That could actually be the opportunity we had been waiting!

Unfortunatly the Talos had warped in at 25km, and my Enyo mate had been forced to warp out, because the Navy Mega started to primary him.

Choices:

A) Stay on the Machariel and be sniped by the Talos and Navy Mega;

b) Rushing to the Talos and try too Ninja it before we got sniped by the Machariel and Navy Mega

c) Bail out...

I actually went for option b) Ninja the Talos, but I got reminded on how fast our Sabre had been blown by that Machariel... Getting killed by PVE ships would not be a good option too, so I bailed out.

The locals docked up, and pretty much stayed there. We did got a bomber a few minutes after that undocked to check us out.

Engagement Final KB

When we were about to leave, a Pilgrim opens up a Cyno 100km off the station

"Hello..."

A Why so Serious fleet of sniping ships bridges in, and start shooting the station. Sov warfare is trully exciting. Even though it would have been great to stick around and try get a Fat Boy around, our time was up and returned home.

I trully hope that these Class Act Alliance make an "arrangement" with the new system owners, we like to have them around.

Let's show that station who is the BOSS around here!"
