I love the
new T1 Cruisers. I actually loved the old ones too really. Still it’s
trully impressive on how we fall into the mistakes we see other people do
against us.
This
particular time I spot a gate camp on Hemin, RMOC gate. Tactical Narcotics Team
has rape caged the gate with 10 or so bubbles. Ship types were 4 Moas, 1 Cane, 1 Drake, 1 Slasher
No one is
alive on my corp, so I go in solo on my Talos for some kitting action. I don’t do so well... I don’t die, but a conga line
of Moas chasing me is a pain because I cannot commit to a target. Once a Moa
got half shields it turned back, only to have Moa n.º 2 continue the chase.
Once I got Moa n.º 2 down to 50% he also turned back and Moa n.º 3 continued
the chase... Not only that the Osprey could rep them, but I could not hit the
Osprey myself decently.
It's the Moa conga line! Everyone onboard!|
I decided to bail before I made a dumb mistake and wait a
bit. Soon enough 3 more guys from my corp log in. With a grand total of 4 guys
we mesure our options. We formed a fleet with 1 Cane, 1 Double Rep Hyperion,
1 Dominix and 1 Falcon.
The plan: Jamm the Osprey, Hurricane, Drake and some Moas,
kill them all.
I jump in
the Hyperion, and they quicly agress. My backup quickly jumps in and the
Hurricane is called primary. Our Falcon also calls succesfull jamms on
the Hurricane, Drake, Osprey and a Moa.
Unfortunatly, even though all is going
according to plan, I have big problems keeping myself alive... I soon realize
I’m gonna go down. Still too much heat on the field for my dual rep hyperion to
hold. Even more, our hurricane is jammed by ECM drones and I am myself jammed
by ecm drones too, reducing us to 1 operational damage ship. We manage
to get the TNT Hurricane down, but I die before a single Moa dies. After
me, our own Hurricane is tackled and blown apart. The “Bail out” command is
given, saving the Dominix and Falcon from the fire.
We underestimated
T1 cruisers too much, and found ouselves in the same position our prey makes
upon seeing us on those “crappy ships”. In retrospective, we should have
gone on 4 high DPS kitting BCs, like Talos, Oracle and Tornados, but the
oportunity to use our Battleships mislead me, sealing my fate.
Waiting for
more guys to log in and try again later (our morale was kinda broken), I actually returned to play with them, but
this time my target was the slasher. I already knew there was nothing
more I could kill solo...
I brought
in the Coercer, and managed to drag him to a station at range, where I played
the “Come at me bro!”card. He quickly died, but reshiped immediatly
into... another Slasher. He ignored my Coercer (good call) and went to hug the
gate with his mates. I would not manage to bait him anymore with the Coercer...
So I reshiped!
The second
time I brought the Algos. The plan: Jump in, get the drones on the Slasher,
burn away from the Moa gang. And so I did. Once I jumped, I carefully decided where to align, overload
the 1st MWD cycle, targeted the Slasher, send in my drone slaves. He
eventually tackled me, but at that time was 70+ km from the Moas and more
importantly, 70+km from the Osprey. Here is the KM.
Soon after they retract the bubbles and log out... There
would be no revenge match for now. One day maybe...
On a final note, I won't be eager to get into another BS soon...
