First of all my apologies for leaving this blog empty so long. I was out of Eve for a while and was also not sure if I would keep playing but recent events have given me new resolve :)
So over the weekend I had the privilege of helping Mynx and the Hellcats open their first Wormhole POS. Over all it went rather well apart from Mynx who had to pull an all nighter to online everything. Kudos to her for setting up the POS in a very creative manner. pattern.
I spent last night scanning for WM with her and we found a few, included one that led to another WM. Once inside I scanned 2 Covetors and 2 Retrievers which made my mouth water. Unfortunately at this point Mynx could be of no help and since I was only in a Sabre I was worried I would run into a wall of warrior IIs.
Nevertheless I figured what the hell you only live once, scanned them down and charged in their mining OP. My goal was to trick them into a ransom since I did not think I could outlast all of them. So just before I landed I screamed in local : "30 millions and my buddies won't show up"
My well thought plan went to hell the second I landed as I was 75k from the group. Undeterred I MWDed toward them and watched in horror as one Covetor and one industrial warped away. For some reasons the rest kept on mining, oh well :)
Amazingly, none of the others tried to leave so I fired off an interdictor bubble and went to town.
The Covetor was first to pop while the Retrievers were locking me. I then popped one retriever and then the other quickly died as well.
Fortunately for them my bubble chose that exact moment to expire and I lost my chance to ransom the pods. One comment from a victim: "Your corp name suits you well" which when you think about it is probably the best compliment a Bastard can get.
I wish I could tell how epic the fight was etc. but keen observers will notice that NONE of these three ships had any offensive capabilities. Still, I got about 5 millions in modules.
So all in all a very good start for the Hellcats POS and I'm quite happy with drawing first blood for it. Hopefully the Bastards POS will show up soon so I an actually fit my ship.. .
