Edited by: Pilk on 05/05/2007 20:27:44Several days ago, MC and -Y- took control of C4C-Z4 and its station, along with L-C307. In total, D2 spammed over a dozen POS's over the course of the last two days. MC HC set aside a day to take them out. These are the "D2 Special" POSes--14 hardeners. With twenty to thirty dreads, you're lucky to get them to reinforced in three siege cycles. Early today, the long grind began. POS after POS succumbed to the combined might of horrifically-bored siege-mode dreads' capital weapons and horrifically-bored carriers' sentry drones. The only winners in this stage were the ice miners. Stront timers were all over the place--barely a day here, well over two days there. D2 showed little coordination. At one point, a couple dozen BS warped in, supported by a dozen or so lighter ships. A bit of confusion resulted in mix-ups on TS. Waagaa then asked our friendly local Titan how his Doomsday activation worked out. Chow was downcast, reporting kills of only a battlecruiser or two. Waagaa reminded us all to be vigilant; we had used up our Titan for the next hour. About 15 minutes later, a single AXE carrier was a bit slow to align to warp to the next POS. Suddenly, a large, light D2 force showed up and began scrambling and attacking it as they warped in heavier ships. More and more D2 arrived, and motherships were called in to assist the carrier as damps began to take hold and he lost the ability to defend himself. Suddenly--a white light! Dozens of ceptors and cruisers popped, and a number of BS. TS is abuzz. Did D2 doomsday themselves again? Waagaa: "Oops, I lied."Seleene: "Oh, by the way, hi to our TeamSpeak spy!" Fast-forward several hours. The combined allied fleet assembled in C4C-Z4 and began killing more D2 POS's. And then it got interesting.... (continued) |

Edited by: Pilk on 03/05/2007 06:01:44Reports came in on TS of multiple hostile cap ships undocking in ROIR. Knowing we were not at peak size, and having observed a hostile Arazu in system earlier, the allied capital fleet disengaged from the hostile POS and warped to the station to refuel and get ready for a possible fight. Simultaneously, reserves were called up and told to stand ready in cyno range. Everything in place, dreadnoughts undocked and warped in to the hostile POS, which had come out of reinforced. With the tower entering deep structure, the FC called for another siege cycle. Perplexed, but gung-ho, the allied dreadnought fleet complied, rapidly laying waste to the remainder of the tower. Now, they had almost a full ten minutes to wait. A cynosural field went up, and Local began growing. TeamSpeak was short, staccato bursts of information: "Cyno". "Local going up." And then finally, the legendary: "It's a trap!" Our own cynosural fields lit up, and friendlies began jumping in to a nearby POS and aligning. Just as the fight was starting, Janus Drake showed up in his Leviathan and was kind enough to clear the field of enemy drones. Undeterred, the motherships simply launched their second wave of fighters and began calling primaries. Shot after shot rained down on the hostiles, as their dreadnoughts entered siege and attacked Flying Scotsman's Phoenix. His tank was up to the job, however, and as he tanked the entire hostile fleet for several minutes, enemy dreadnought after enemy dreadnought fell prey to a vicious combination of fighters and siege-mode dreadnoughts. Halfway through the battle, just as things were shaping up to be a proper knock-down, drag-out fight, the strangest animation appeared--"Who's jumping in?" "Nobody, THEY'RE JUMPING OUT!" Elated, friendly forces redoubled their efforts. Now it was just getting silly--dreadnoughts were dying in 60 seconds from the insane amount of damage we were putting out. The combined D2/Sparta/FLA FC apparently had a grudge against Caldari--our Phoenixes got primaried to the exclusion of anything else for minutes on end while we merrily destroyed everyone opposing us. Total body count at the end: Friendly, 3 Phoenixes, one Moros Hostile: Thirteen dreads Four carriers And we controlled the field. GF to our opponents, the killboards will take a while to sort this one out. The battle was clean and lag-free, and To the winner go the spoils.--P P.S. Fraps coming Soon (tm). /me whips Loxy. |

Tonight has been one fun event after another. I'm too damn tired to write everything up, but the last fight was the best. Tonight while destroying a D2 POS in C4C the MC/-Y-/Axe capital gang was jumped on by a larger D2/Sparta/FLA capital fleet. We've been waiting on this, we saw it coming when they undocked in RIOR... so we ran an extra cycle of siege to see what would happen. Then the cyno lit up and it was on!  We lost 4 Dreads. The North lost 13 Dreads & 4 Carriers. I honestly do not know everything that happened other than our guys did exactly as they were told and TS was as quiet as a graveyard during the fight. We did not have a Titan of any type present for the final fight. Janus Drake showed up and DD'd God only knows how many fighters and drones on both sides. Killboards are currently all over the place. A proper bat retlep to follow from Pilk (above) about all of the events of the last 12 hours or so. I must now pass out.  |

What I dont understand is if I read this correct, MC, Y, Axe have been attacking POS's all day long. So its not like D2 didnt already know what they had. D2 is larger than all those alliances put together, then add on Sparta and Freelancer how is it they didnt get a much larger capital fleet together and due this properly instead of jumping in and losing 17 capital ships. |

They DID have a much larger capital fleet. And Iron were there too. And D2 had the only Titan on the field which was used very effectively and took out lots and lots of fighters. And they had a support fleet four or more times our size. The major mistake they made was calling me primary. Once I was down and had warped out someone competent was able to take over. Ha! They didn't expect THAT! Myn |

How can you say you fought outnumbered when you killed all 17 of d2 and co capitals, but show on the killmails over 20 MC and co capitals kill the capitals. I heard there were at least 24 MC and co capitals there to take on the 17 D2 and co ones, so why did you post you were outnumbered? |

Even adults have trouble counting. Dont blame MC, blame the south's poor schools. |
