Legion of Black Mesa

FRAPS, the ever popular recording program used by many Eve pilots to record their adventures and exploits. I’ve been collecting footage of our PvP engagements for a while and I’ve been thinking about putting something together. Just not sure what kind of theme to go with.

….

I’ll keep thinking on the subject and get back to you when I’ve made some kind of decision.

Monday was a sad day. Brock Samson, my dear Megathron fired his last volley. We were in a fleet to try to bust a camp on the BWF gate in Geminate. I had joined late, rushing in to catch up with the main fleet element, so I’d missed a lot of what the plan was. That didn’t really matter in the end, as everything went to shit.

I jump into BWF and warp to a fleet member i knew was on the gate. Warp Drive Active! 40 AU’s to go! I spend what seems like an eternity in warp and finally land on the gate! The enemy fleet his huge! More than 30 ships! The FC calls a primary and I unleash my trusty Tech 2 Neutron Blaster Cannons as soon as my target locks! We melt an enemy Typhoon really fast, Carnes calls for armor, I lock him and begin repping. A new primary is called, another typhoon. CydonianKnight also calls for armor, I lock him and send my med repper drones after him. No one else seems to be repping Carnes’ ‘geddon so he goes down pretty quick. Cydo seems to be doing better as weels calls for reps as well, but as i target him he’s already in deep hull and can’t do anything more about that, weels goes down in his Domi. The second Typhoon finally goes down, then there’s silence. People start asking for a new primary. Someone calls out another Typhoon, but he’s 40+km off the main element, I can’t hit that; neither can half the gang. Things start to unravel from there. Ships off by themselves start getting picked off, and soon I’m seeing my shield disappear. Then i hit armor, I’d called for armor, but it was no use, I wasn’t getting reps! I start to align to warp off since i was still outside one of the bubbles surrounding the gate, but I wasn’t quick enough, soon Brock was in shambles and I was sitting there in my pod.

I warp back to station in an attempt to activate Voltron, Brock’s older brother, but by the time I got there the fight was over. We’d lost over 15 ships and only managed to kill 4.

Like I said, a sad sad day

I was hoping to blog about some of the awesome PvP we’d been taking part in over the last week. But I couldn’t since I was only involved on tuesday, which btw, we did have some awesome fights. RR Blasterthron ftw! This was the big fight we had, sadly we lost more than we should have. Mainly due to pilots not really paying attention. When the FC says only BS’s jump through, that’s probably what he means. Half our losses were because small ships jumped in before we could do anything in our big tank ships… Oh well.

Anyway, back to the reason I haven’t been on so much. Krandor and Carnes’ house has no power. The recent ice storms that came through pretty much killed our ability to  (in the words of Malkavian) “bring the bang bang”. I think it’s effected other people too, as for the last few days the amount of people online in corp has been low. Hopefully this will change back to what it was before.

Carnes and I trying to stay warm!
