Hellfleet gang work

Hellfleet is an amazing family really.. we take care of each other in every way we can. And yea.. we are a bunch of cocky pirates together who bitch on each other ocasionally. But if it all comes to it then we are there sticking up for each other. Killing together.. dying together if needed >.>.. yea, it's all part of it.

An engagement with our gang is always one big adventure. I could say it never goes as plannend also:D.. haha.. but well, usually there isn't much time to plan something so we do a quick runover on the comms as we get our asses to the tango location. But when arriving on seen things get hectic and the FC tries to keep things as organised as possible.
Accidents happen though.

I remember clearly our gang being called out by a few friendlies. A small gang had been spotted in our homesystem. We all set course to Vit and arrive within the following minute, grouping up and getting ready to engage. At the first moment everything goes just great untill one of our guys get a connection loss and then it falls to pieces for a second. Things get hectic and yours trully makes the mistake of keeping her guns loaded with EMP after the first kill. I needed to engage the other target at large distance really because of the Small Neuts being used on me by a vexor.. I kinda had not noticed first untill I was getting neuted like hell. I kept up by injecting cap into my core.. and killed the target before they could take me out. But there was another vexor in their fleet and he and his friend just finished the job on me. My mistake really..
We took out their whole fleet except for one that managed to get away. I would say great job anyways:).. a few accidents and some mistakes happened.. a few of us primaried wrong target after we killed the first one of.. oh well:D. We had good laughs though and only lost 2 ships at it. My frigate and an interceptor.


Travels

A big part of gangwork is travelling. Travelling together through all kinds of systems.. through space. Yesterday we ganged up again for a roam towards Amamake. We had planned to go upset Amamake a bit and make a bit of a mess there.
We fleeted up and had our rendevous point at Vit. Everybody met there in time except for 2 who we picked up in Lisbaetanne before setting course towards Amamake.



We got all together eventually and started flying towards Amamake. It's just funny stuff on trips like these. I think this is what makes being in a group like Hellfleet even more amazing. The group cohesion is just amazing. We all have our own ideas and dreams and so much more.. and its fun to share that stuff on trips. Making jokes, getting us into trouble here and there.
We travel.. and we travel.. we fly.. and we fly more.. and more.. .. ..... lol.. why are we not finding anything to shoot?!! We arrive at Amamake and we are all expecting a lot of action there. We find a lot of people in local but nothing really going on. We sit our asses at a belt even for a while.. ..... but.. ...... nothing happens:O. WTF!.. is this Amamake?

- Checks the maps -

Dudes.. this is Amamake for sure:/.. why isnt there any shit going on:p. We start messing around because nothing happens.

Fleet changes

We decide to make a short stop at Vit. During this time Von Diel also fleets up with us to go have some funs. We hang out around Lisbae for a while where I find this lonely Catalyst at a belt. I drop myself on his position and get him point and wait as he is finishing off a rat while the rest of the crew drops in on the location. We all get him point and wait to open direct fire. Killing that Cat doesnt take long of course:D.



Cyber and Galen need to go, so we say goodbies to them. Lak is gonna be a bit busy with finishing some stuffs at home so she will be joining us later on again.

Me, Del, Von Diel, and later on Uly also head to OMS. We end up engaging a rifter. I take him out pretty well but near the end of the fight he seems to get the overhand and takes me out eventually, but he is into structure already and Von Diel finishes him off as he drops in on the location. So win win I would say:D.

Things go pretty wrong from this point on.. I end up in Heydieles checking the local state there and getting killed in a gatecamp as I return to OMS for an egagement of a Wolf. Annoying shit really:p. Pissed me off pretty well.
Lak also gets an accident at this point and we end up getting some ships ready again at home. Then we decide to hang out a bit around Lisbae as Lak also gets ready to go ( missing you already Lak :( hope things are going well.. thinking of you ).

I am flying a crappily fitted rifter because I didnt have everything lying around that I needed ( fixed that today though and hope to be getting the delivery of some orders today also ), but I engage one last target this evening after Lak left. A rifter ratting a bit at one of our belts. Weird fitted ship again.. so yea.. doesn't take me really long or isnt that much of a challenge taking him out.. I get to kill his pod also and dock at the station to find me some rest after a small chit chat with Galen.

Shhhttt

Sometimes it feels like suddenly everything died. You are wandering around, checking out the area.. and it seems like nothing is showing up. Either that or you just watching people hug the stations and kiss the gates. And then they not even want to engage you there when you annoy them. But yea, those days also make part of a pirates life. It's a fact you have to accept.
Once you step up the road of a pirate you know you will be stuck in LowSec (a decision I won't ever regret by the way), which also means sometimes you will be there when most of the people that you are looking for are in HiSec.
Well.. today is such a day. It seems like how long we may patrol for even, we just won't find anything. Lucky for us even on such days you do find something;).

As we are pondering after eating something in the mess of the ship somebody turns up the alarm state. We gone from Bravo to Charlie.. 'Seems like we might get us some action!', I am thinking to myself as I am running though the halls towards the command room.
I arrive there very shortly and get to work immediately. "Status report!". An officer runs to his computer, hits some buttons and makes one of my screens flash. I open up the reports and read that a Breacher class ship has been spotted. We are already going through the localisation procedure as we warp to our next pinpointing spot. Seems like we got us a match. <>. We engage immediately, as we drop ourselves on the location of the Breacher we already notice signs of him ratting on our scanning results. 'This is great', I think to myself.

As we drop on his position I can see him sitting a bit off, 2 rats circling him and shooting at him. We burn towards him but I tell the crew to wait with locking so that we won't startle him too much. As we burn into scramming range we start instascramming him and during this proces we already activate the weapons system. <>.
<> .. we open fire directly at his ship as we get into a tight and close orbit. You can see the Guristas Thorn Rockets bang on his hull with massive impact. He clearly is startled and doesn't know how to react anymore. Doesn't know to choose between the rats or me.
It doesn't matter anyways, we tear his ship apart in seconds really. It's like we are waiting already for what we were really here for. And there it is:O.. his pod! As his ship goes up into flames, leaving behind shreds of all kinds of stuff forming a nice wreck (improves the scenery I think..), we take off our scram and wait to scram his pod. So said, so done. Pod scrammed back to the clonetube with you;). ( http://www.eve-hellfleet.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=50753 and http://www.eve-hellfleet.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=50754 ).

We fly off towards one of our scanning positions as we read through the status reports. Everything going great.. nothing to worry about.

I must say I have done some stupid things already as my time as a pirate ship commander. And today seems to be one of those days where I do something stupid. We have been getting signs of a Rifter flewn by the commander that goes by the name EvisRaptor. I seen him around before and I really want to catch him. We start tracking him down and funny enough we do find him at a belt suddenly. So we drop ourselves on him and start engaging him. Altering our orbit distance and speed to get optimal results. It's a nice fight and in the beginning he seems to be some good resistance but then once we set everything up his defences start breaking down. Seems like we got what we were looking for.
But as we are breaking him down suddenly something happens. He starts making distance slowely, breaking out of our orbit.. he is escaping:o!! Can't let this happen.. but what I am starting to fear does happen. He gets out of our scramming range and flies off. He flies off to another belt so we follow him there. But as we drop in on the location he manages to warp off again just before we can get him point.
It's now that I do something really stupid. I take the decission to follow him not thinking about our GCC.. I follow him towards the station where we get taken out by the sentries in seconds. Man.. how stupid and pissed do I feel. I feel so pissed that I change EvisRaptor standings to horrible and make a not for him in our reports that he is wanted from now on. He escaped just by nothing.. I hate this. But.. we will get him for it soon!



Me, Cyber Ten, Tornado and Rote515 fleet up for a patrol towards Amamake. As we Progress we have some funs with a stupid Cane pilot. We check out several belts but it takes us a while to get some luck. As Tornado is docking at a local station in between to get some things sorted, me and Rote515 look around.
Thing is, this Rifter commander has been following me after I had to get on to the next system because of being interrupted by a Domi. I did suspect the Rifter to follow me though. I play around a bit with him in Arzad and make him follow me to a moon there. I engage him immediately and fix my systems for optimal results as we are fighting him. Rote515 backs us up in his Crusader but can't really make a big difference anymore. The fight was already decided.. we take him down shortly after Rote515 arrives and then we jump on the pod. The commander of the ship is kinda pissed. I don't care though. Off to the CloneTube with you:D.. hehehehe.. funny shit really! ( http://www.eve-hellfleet.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=50859 and http://www.eve-hellfleet.com/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=50860 )

From now on the evening goes dead quiet.. but we will find some more action anytime soon.. it always does!

Evi, OUT.
