Sweet Revenge?

You could say being a pirate is something different. People don't seem to understand sometimes, they don't get what we do being 'stuck' in lowsec. Why we do the things we do.. they don't get that it doesn't even matter that we don't make super earnings out of it. In a way you could say it all comes down to a level of control.
Piracy is what controls life in lowsec really.. it makes money come in because we need all kinds of ships and modules. Sometimes there are some casualties and then they eventually buy their ship again (once they saved the money again since they always fly what they can't afford to loose).
Well.. we, HellFleet, aren't any different in all that. We make our contributions, but most importantly we have fun at it also. We try to spice things up a bit where we live. I would say that if you havent paid us a visit yet from your nice and cosy spot in hisec that you really should concider it. I know I know.. yea.. it's dangerous out there.. but believe me! You will have a good laugh if you try to relativate the shit going on there.

* pulls up her panties, flushing the toilet as she does this * yea.. * puts on her jumpsuit again * .. .... so you are up for some action huh? Well.. we got it;) haha.

CODE RED CODE RED!! - People running around through the hangars as we get the ships ready to undock. It seems that we are gonna be engaging a target soon. I am being called into the briefing room and sit myself down on a chair there as I see Von Diel take the word. It appears that he been having contacts through somebody else with a certain dude called Federal Clone. This dude is trying to trick this person into trusting him. Even paying him money to make him feel sure about that he is clean.
But okay.. enough of that crap! We are up for some action really. As we get the last orders during the briefing our ships are getting prepped. Ready to leave in 5 now so we all run towards the boarding area and man the command posts of our fleets ships.



Undocking and immediately regrouping at point charly we wait for the command to engage the dropzone. We are scanning the system for an unknown boogie flown by the commander going by the name of Federal clone. He could have friends in sys so we need to keep an eye out for them too. So unknown number of unknown boogies lead by Federal Clone and possible related to a previous kill made by us.

As we wait I see his ship appear on my scanner. A Raven. " Incomming boogie ", I shout over the comms and put through intelligence. " Hawk1, Enemy Raven, Center station, Right now, appears to be ungaging unknown location (possibly dropzone), I am still observing and holding to engage ".. I keep scanning and notice him warp out. " He just dropped on Cheesecake ", I hear over the comms. " Free to engage dropzone now, warp, point and hold fire. We are proceeding with ransom first ".
As we land on the dropzone we get into action immediately, take out his drones as we keep him with his back to the wall. During all this a Merlin flown by a commander that we killed earlier on top of the center station lands on our position. " Hawk1, Neutral Merlin, our hotzone, right now, Possibly engaging our hotzone, I am ready to enage on your mark ". I wait till I hear those magical words over the comms.

"Hawk1, point Merlin and light him up!". I get to work immediately. I take myself off the Raven but make sure I keep him in range to engage immediately again after we cleaned up our little Merlin mess. - Merlin Point - .. engaging everything we got at him we take him out in seconds really. Pod Point! "Hawk1, free to engage pod. When pod taken out, point Raven and hold your fire".

I take out the pod and head back in formation at Raven position as I wait for further instructions. " Target declines ransom, take him out ". We engage the Raven and take him out followed by us blowing him back to the clonetube. Bai bai Mr Raven.

Later on I get some intel on the dude and it appears that he was trying to revenge his Merlin friend that we killed earlier. This also explains why the Merlin stupidly engaged our hotzone during the fight with the Raven. He wanted to watch us die.. lol.. sweet revenge it is:D.. hihi..


We all regroup after the fight and continue with some patrols around Lisbae. And we do some other things on which I am not gonna incline yet. It's a secret for now;).. but I will tell more about that pretty soon. It's gonna be sweet btw;) haha..



Ohh.. lol.. whats that;)?

Evi, OUT.

Combined forces

No more painkillers for Evi?

*Cyber slaps Evi as she is looking at the painkillers on the desk in the office*
"NO!", he says to her.

Damnit:D.. haha.. yea, I am trying to get off the painkillers again. Wanna fly with a clean head.. commanding my ship and noticing every detail about every kill again. 'Why we are in the office you ask me?'.. well.. since we are planning the patrols for today. Can't really give away any details yet since it's classified. Yea yea.. I know you all will tell me that you won't bother our plans.. >.>.. but still! NO.. just bear with me ya!!

We grab our stuff as we run out of the office into the hallway in the direction of the hangar elevator. They are prepping our ships as we speak and the crews are boarding already. Me and Cyber are heading out on a small patrol. We will split up first part and then come together in the next phase of this patrol. More on the plan but I'll inform you about that in a bit since nothing clear yet.

The hangar people inform me that my ship is all set and ready to leave in 5. I board and enter the command station and start the undocking procedure immediately after a quick overview on the systems check analysis report and getting a briefing from the armory crew. We are all set!


Some routine

As we are patrolling I take note on the signature of a destroyer sized ship around somewhere. Deeper checks show us that it's a Coercer class ship flown by a commander that goes by the name Typhu5. Everything looks fine to engage so we do! Easy action really.. we just take it out.. routine work really;)

During this routine procedure Cyber also arrives at the set location and we get the drill done joining the 2 'fleets' (fleets of 1 ship) together. Cyber takes out a few ships at the station as I am checking out things around the system. At this point Cyber gets called out by higher command and he informes me that he might join the formation again in a bit. So we split up again.


EvisRaptor is back

I continue the patrol in Lisbaetanne myself as I am reading some newsflashes on the area. But in the corner of my eye I suddenly see my control panels starting to flash. I drop the papers and get my eyes focused on the screens again.
Let me catch you up first.. you remember EvisRaptor? The dude that I had a fight with. Rifter vs Rifter.. but he managed to get out of there just before he was gonna go up in flames. I followed him through a few belts and was so stupid to follow him, in the mixture of excitement and adrenaline rush, to a station and get blown up by the sentries. It pissed me of so much that I turned the dudes standings down and put a note on his file that I needed to get his ass!
Been working on that for a while now.. and today.. yea today it seems I might get lucky! EvisRaptor has been spotted several times now in this area. I been tracking him down but he has been sitting in the Center station for a long time now.. but now we have spotted him in his Thrasher class ship. This seems to good to be true! Checking on his location he appears to be at a belt. I inform the command that I will be occupied for a while and not available for quick interventions untill further notice.

We engage the location first time.. dropping myself on it, I verify the readings and make sure that he is really there. Yea.. he is.. prepping us for a rough landing and hopefully a fight! Landing at the dropzone I see him sitting like 30km off. Ratting. What I had suspected really.. we burn in his direction which startles him ( I had hoped that not locking him would make him feel more at ease:D.. haha.. yea.. you would be surprised.. it works sometimes;) ) and makes him get the fuck out.
I follow him in the direction of the other side of the system where I find him ratting again at another belt. Above scenario repeats itself sort of. I follow him 2 more times like this and then I find myself landing right on top of him when I land fast enough after I get his jumping routine through! Hehe.. GOT YA!!

- Target Thrasher ( EvisRaptor ) POINT - the system computer informs me as we get into a tight orbit activating everything we got and making sure we pound away on him.

The 150mm autos fire rep fleet EMP at his hull in fast cycles making his ship pound with every impact. The guristas foxfire rockets making his armor burn and melt down heavily. I love this sight:D.. hehe.. but.. we are here for him really.. I was out for his corpse for a while and I am intending to get it also! I still feel pissed for that last time and I WILL collect his corpse today! So, I make sure everything is set to scram his pod as soon as his ship turns back to dust and he ejects.

And yes!! there we go! I see things comming to an end and set in the podding procedure. Sorry, this is a classified procedure of which I am not gonna inform you, but I can tell you it's spectacular and effective! Yea.. you'll see it someday;). Pod scrammed! Good job people. Now lets collect what we are here for!



As our GCC runs out we drop off the loot at the homestation and put his corpse in a safe spot. Mission succesful!


Von Diel

We continue our patrol around the area. I spot Von Diel around. You remember him right from yesterday? Him in the ishkur.. also the dude who was trying to catch me once. Trying to untangle my jumping procedure during patrols so that he could catch me. It didn't work. But I get into a conversation with him which makes him get on our alliance and corp public comm channels. He might be interested in becomming a part of the team. He starts making work of this. And as we are going through all this I spot EvisRaptor again in a Cane this time! I decide it might be a little bit much for me alone. Nobody around really.. so I decide to contact Von Diel about it.

[ 2010.04.03 23:47:51 ] eviwyn > you close to lisbeae von ?
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:09 ] eviwyn > EvisRaptor him in a cane using 3 hamemrhead I drones. thikn we can take him together?
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:11 ] von Diel > 3j
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:27 ] von Diel > hmm
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:28 ] eviwyn > he ratting
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:33 ] von Diel > cane's can be tricky
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:36 ] eviwyn > I took him out in a thrasher before
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:43 ] eviwyn > but now he is in a cane :p
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:48 ] von Diel > lol
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:57 ] von Diel > wait, 2010 player
[ 2010.04.03 23:48:57 ] eviwyn > he is only 1 month old
[ 2010.04.03 23:49:01 ] von Diel > yeah we can take him :P
[ 2010.04.03 23:49:05 ] von Diel > omw 2j


We get everything ready and start the action.

[ 2010.04.03 23:51:54 ] von Diel > V1 you say?
[ 2010.04.03 23:51:56 ] eviwyn > yep
[ 2010.04.03 23:51:57 ] eviwyn > V 1
[ 2010.04.03 23:52:01 ] von Diel > omw
[ 2010.04.03 23:52:04 ] eviwyn > me too

We drop on his location and open direct fire at his ship. Focussing on his drones first, taking them out effectively. I stick really close on him which makes him miss nearly every shot on me.

[ 2010.04.03 23:54:35 ] von Diel > want to ransom him or just kill?
[ 2010.04.03 23:54:44 ] eviwyn > lets kill him


As we are fighting him I suddenly see a Thorax drop in near the end of the fight. I decide to stick out a little bit longer.. but then shit hits the fan of course:D. A bunch of Rough Neck cruisers drop on our location taking me out as we keep taking out the Cane. I can't get out anymore and loose the ship in all this. The mission gets completed though as the Cane gets destroyed and Von Diel manages to get out. I head out to get another ship.


Harpy & Rifter

As I head back into Lisbae we spot a Cheetah around. Its our 'little friend' Dreadnaught and (most likely) his alts again. He is in a Cheetah, Rifter and Harpy around in the system. I get my hands on the Cheetah a few times but he always stabs me and so gets out. So me and Von Diel decide to put another scrammer on one of our ships for now so that we can get the Cheetah anyways.
But as we are setting this up we spot his Rifter and Harpy around and decide to take out them first. - Fix on location 100% - dropping ourselves on them.

[ 2010.04.04 01:41:54 ] von Diel > I'd say primary the harpy?
[ 2010.04.04 01:41:59 ] eviwyn > yea lets do that
[ 2010.04.04 01:42:02 ] eviwyn > the rifter gonna be easy
[ 2010.04.04 01:42:11 ] von Diel > or rifter then?
[ 2010.04.04 01:42:21 ] von Diel > nah harpy
[ 2010.04.04 01:42:25 ] eviwyn > maybe V?
[ 2010.04.04 01:42:27 ] eviwyn > they moved again
[ 2010.04.04 01:42:30 ] von Diel > that thing can kick out a lot of damage
[ 2010.04.04 01:42:35 ] eviwyn > harpy first yea


So plans are being made:D.. we take things into action..

[ 2010.04.04 01:44:07 ] eviwyn > I have rifter point
[ 2010.04.04 01:44:13 ] eviwyn > you point harpy
[ 2010.04.04 01:44:18 ] von Diel > yup
[ 2010.04.04 01:44:35 ] von Diel > not rifter
[ 2010.04.04 01:44:38 ] von Diel > *now


We take out the Harpy in no time really and then focus on the rifter. Easy peasy :D hehehe...

[ 2010.04.04 01:45:05 ] von Diel > woo :)
[ 2010.04.04 01:45:11 ] eviwyn > great job :D


Hehe.. this is fun:D. Knowing this guy I know they will return.. they are weird. Makin you chase them around and then being a kinda easy target. Well.. not too much of a challenge for the ships they use sometimes.



And as I said they return anyways:D.. Jou in a Thorax and Dreadnaught in a Moa.. so we engage them again and take out the Thorax as the Moa gets out sitting out too distant giving him the chance to escape.

Things go quiet again untill we get some missioner visitors in a Drake, Vexor, Probe and probably another Vexor around. We get help for this and Fort decides to help us out here. We engage them eventually and are able to take out the Vexor but the rest of them manages to escape.

I would say it was a good patrol!

Evi, OUT.

Painkiller fun:O

Sometimes things can be different. Yea, different then you are used to. And sometimes things just get different because of other things happening. Lol.. I know I am not making any sense. I gues it's the painkillers that are rushing through my bloodstream still. Been a tough week yea.. you got that right.. but nothing we can't make happen.
Yesterday we were patrolling some areas in Lisbaetanne with a small crew. We had a crew of 2 rifters, a vagabond and a griffin for ewar out in space. The other rifter and griffin not simultanously since some things happened and we not everybody could keep the patrol going for the whole time.

The patrol started with me and the rifter chasing a dude called Jou Resa which we had located sitting at a belt with a Cheetah close by flown by a commander named Dreadnaught 723. They appeared to be working together and we were trying to trick the Cheetah to decloak as the MWD rifter burned towards him to get him pinned down. It was tough though since the dude was slippery as hell. We managed to catch his little velator friend though which wasn't what we were really going for.. but between you and me.. if I can kill something.. I really don't care what it is;). I just wanted to kill really. I gues the painkillers only make me more vicious:o.
We chased around the Cheetah and his friend around a bit afterwards up untill we updated the fleet with a Vagabond.
It seemed that this companionship of Jou and his friend were changing their fleet setup in the meantime since we caught them in a rigged Catalyst and a Belicose. We engaged both of them but the Belicose got out. We made the Catalyst pray for mercy and blew it to pieces in no time. We even waited for the other rifter to take it down as we kept the Cat pinned down.
I stayed put on location to check some stuff out and suddenly that Belicose dropped on the same location again. I tried to pin it down but it managed to get out of my grip. But we weren't gonna let it get away so we chased it around and killed it off anyways:p.. hehe.. they hadn't seen it comming really.

Ga'len notices some things going on on the comms.. and he informs us about the messages

[ 2010.04.02 23:01:17 ] Ga'len > belicose pilot convoing me
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:18 ] eviwyn > he never returned fire in his cat
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:26 ] eviwyn > what he saying ga'len?
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:37 ] Ga'len > [23:01:29] DreadNaught 723 > why you so mean to me in your baga
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:42 ] Ga'len > [23:01:31] DreadNaught 723 > lol
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:48 ] eviwyn > lol
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:50 ] eviwyn > wtf
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:53 ] Ga'len > [23:01:29] DreadNaught 723 > why you so mean to me in your baga[23:01:31] DreadNaught 723 > lol[23:01:48] Ga'len > Yarr
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:54 ] eviwyn > we not mean
[ 2010.04.02 23:01:56 ] eviwyn > we just playing
[ 2010.04.02 23:02:01 ] eviwyn > we didnt even start yet

Yea.. if they think this is us being mean then they are up for some surprises one day or another:D.. hehe..

As we were sitting around a bit with our small gang we spotted a retriever around. We started scanning actively for it. But sometimes.. sometimes.. once in a while when Moses is looking for the mountain.. .. yea.. sometimes the mountain just seems to come to Moses!
The retriever dropped on our location like 50km off something. But we had 2 MWD driven ships lying here. He seemed to be thinking things trough as we had our 2 MWD driven ships engage him and get on position, scramming his ass. And yea.. they were like all fucked up from last kill yet so they killed off the retriever before I could even get in range:D. It was funny as hell though! Too bad I didnt get to shoot any EMP at that retriever though. But I was happy to see it go to pieces from a distance.. HAHA.. love the smell of a melted ship in the evening!

In the meantime we spotted an Ishkur going around the system. It's a dude that had been hunting me before a bit and he was always telling like how it seemed impossible to catch me. So.. I decided to give him a shot;). As Del was tackling him I dropped myself on his position as the Vaga was storming in it's warp also. Del had been popped when I arrived at position, so I tackled the Ishkur again immediately as I knew the Vaga was on it's way to take it down. The Ishkur took me down as the Vaga stormed in and started pounding at it. The Ishkur got torn apart just after it tore me apart. Too bad.. but yea well.. I am happy we took it down. And no worries;), got another rifter lying around already anyways.

The Ishkur dude starts talking with us on the local comms channel a bit after the fight. I see the comms pannel blink and decide to check it out.

[ 2010.04.02 23:30:11 ] eviwyn > gf :D

So everybody happy;) hehe!

As me and the crew get prepped again. >.> more painkillers you ask? Why yes thank you :D HAHA.. so we get prepped again and get out there with reinforcements of a griffin this time. Our CEO Lak is comming to kick some ass with us! We start hunting again immediately and notice the guys Jou and Dreadnaught in sys again. It doesn't take us long to get a fix on their location and they have more company this time. It's Jou in a Brutix, Dread in a Cane and another friend in an Omen.
I get my crew on getting an exact fix on the location. This doesn't take us long and I find myself dropping on their position like immediately after spotting them.
Things get send over the voice comms system on the role and we get the info out there on the additional comms also

[ 2010.04.02 23:45:42 ] Ga'len > Jou Resa in a brutix now, dread in a cane
[ 2010.04.02 23:45:55 ] eviwyn > lol
[ 2010.04.02 23:45:56 ] eviwyn > :D
[ 2010.04.02 23:52:29 ] Ga'len > 3 1
[ 2010.04.02 23:52:36 ] Ga'len > warp on evi

This means ACTION!

I find myself dropping on the location as I see the cane, brutix and omen sit together there. We had arranged the fight with cane and brutix in mind and decided to take the brutix primary and cane secondary. I pin the Brutix down as I engage and open fire on it and wait for the others to arrive at location.
The comms become active and commands are being send over from side to side. - jamming on Cane - okay - Cane jammed - engage Brutix freely. Brutix engaged heavily, the omen runs and cane sticks around since he thinks he can win this fight now. Wrong thoughts. We make the Brutix more suiting for the surroundings and start working on the Cane, which.. which gets out >.< ... auww crap!



Yea.. the cane got out.. we hunt it down a bit longer. Try waiting for it at former position.. but it doesn't wanna take bait anymore. We see them leave the system later on also. So, it appears they giving up after all.

The fleet starts to go their own ways again as the time goes by. We do plan schedules already for the patrols the following days. But that is classified information.. so sorry guys;).. but I am sure you will all read about it very soon!

Evi, OUT

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.

Anti Piracy :O

I get out of the shower in the station after a long chain of patrols. As the commander of a big Hellfleet ship you can't just expect to have a lot of free time. A lot is expected from you.. you need to put things out there and keep the pressure high in the system so that people know it's hostile territory and it's better to pay up.
Well.. we are gonne bring that pressure again. "Crew! Get ready to leave in 5!"

Lots of people running over the decks towards the elevators to get into the ship. Everybody manning their positions. I love this shit! Hehe.

You can feel the tension in the air in the ship. Everybody sharp for some action. And action never is far away since I just got note that a Punisher class ship has been seen in the system. We start the localisation proces and it doesn't take us very long to get a match on the location.
"Engage!".. as we are in warp towards the location we are all getting ready into battlepositions. We are not expecting a tough fight really though. As we drop in on the location, we see the punisher sitting a bit off taking on a few rats.
We burn towards his position but he runs to the sisters station. We not gonna let this happen and follow him there to make him annoyed. When we approach him at the station he opens fire at us.
We return the fire but it takes us a while to get a good tight orbit on him since he is webbing us and doing quite a fine job on keeping us at a distance so that he can get us into armor a few times. I think his cap isn't really all that stable though since he looses control over the fight a few times and we use these chances to shred his ship to tiny pieces and have a good laugh when he stays behind there in his pod.



We pull ourselves out of there and see some activity in local.

this goes on for a bit.. dunno why he wanted to open a comms channel with us though.. no funs.. lets get on!

We just got information from our Hellhounds, Cyber will be joining us very soon now. And ahhh there he is.. so nice to see allied ships around in space. And funny since we see another allied ship in space commanded by Ga'len. We invite him to join our patrol formation and he does so. We form a strong 3 rifter pack. We will kick some serious ass with this formation. Mark my words;).

We fly around for a while. Have some chats over the comms and suddenly I have a match on a location on a Cat class ship that we are following around. I engage it at a belt and get it point and wait as my buddies drop in on the location also. I bet the commander of the Cat must be shitting his pants as he sees all the flashies drop in on him without us opening fire. But.. we are in for the action now though.. ahhh.. the action and the commander' corpse of course;).
"Okay!, free to engage peops!!"
We activate our weapon systems and take out the cat in a fraction of a second. The ship doesn't resist and we point the pod and take it out also. Back to the clonetube with you!

We have a few laughs on the comms with each other as we check out the loot and hang out at the belt a bit. we pull back into positions as we check our system stats.
During this we decide to try something out. It seems we have some miner peops in system and we gonna promote the area a bit.

[ 2010.03.26 23:29:22 ] Ga'len > wow
[ 2010.03.26 23:29:27 ] Ga'len > great ore in this system
[ 2010.03.26 23:29:29 ] eviwyn > man
[ 2010.03.26 23:29:31 ] eviwyn > sweet
[ 2010.03.26 23:29:37 ] eviwyn > a goldmine
[ 2010.03.26 23:29:41 ] Ga'len > i hear that belt I at planet III is awesome
[ 2010.03.26 23:29:47 ] Ga'len > and the rats never spawn there
[ 2010.03.26 23:29:49 ] Cyber Ten > yea so many rocks
[ 2010.03.26 23:30:13 ] eviwyn > gonna get my hauler before they are all gone
[ 2010.03.26 23:30:20 ] eviwyn > you guys start mining yet
[ 2010.03.26 23:30:41 ] Cyber Ten > yea got my retriever out here

So far nobody takes the bait though. But we see a visitor in system.. it's the Cat's commander that we took out earlier:O.. I am laughing to the guys how maybe he will return to his former position. And.. hahahahah.. he does so:D.
We engage him again at the same position. This time he is commanding a Tristan class ship. And this time he engages first one of us having him point as we drop in on the location. But he can't do anything really.. we take him out again and blow him back once more to the clonetube. Hihih.. we could keep doing this really;). "Please come again!", I bet he will take this too serious and will do this probably.. some people are too funny.



Cyber decides to try something out.

[ 2010.03.26 23:49:15 ] Cyber Ten > i'm under attack by rats in my retriever in belt 3-1, could anyone help me
[ 2010.03.26 23:50:24 ] Cyber Ten > pls
[ 2010.03.26 23:54:45 ] Cyber Ten > am almost dead
[ 2010.03.26 23:54:49 ] Cyber Ten > pls help

it doesn't really work at the moment but it seems something is gonna happen. We have spotted a Drake class ship in the system and it seems to be like a red flap on a bull for Cyber;). There also is some activity on the local comms channel.

[ 2010.03.27 00:00:02 ] Tylinn Rift > hows the mining here ?
[ 2010.03.27 00:00:26 ] Cyber Ten > pretty good apart from the darned rats
[ 2010.03.27 00:01:11 ] Tylinn Rift > any pirates come through lately ?
[ 2010.03.27 00:01:26 ] Cyber Ten > not really, pretty quiet here
[ 2010.03.27 00:01:59 ] Cyber Ten > just keep drones out just in case

We do some intel on the dude. Something that comes out of the intel and that makes us all go crazy is this -> 'Piracy is Crime', his corp name.. hehe.. man.. what the fuck he doing here. I could have a piece out of him. We start to suspect that it is him in the Drake also out of all the intel that is running in over the connected intel system computer systems of our 3 ships.
Cyber has pinpointed the drake on a belt where it went cloaky. He is gonna try something out and try to decloak it. He suspects it to be cloaked at 100km off from the belt. He asks us to keep scanning for the Drake to pop up and engage at his position when he shouts.

[ 2010.03.27 00:04:28 ] Cyber Ten > yea
[ 2010.03.27 00:04:38 ] Cyber Ten > drake in 3-1
[ 2010.03.27 00:04:40 ] Cyber Ten > 100km off
[ 2010.03.27 00:04:47 ] eviwyn > who is it?
[ 2010.03.27 00:04:50 ] Ga'len > claoked?
[ 2010.03.27 00:04:57 ] Cyber Ten > yes
[ 2010.03.27 00:05:01 ] Cyber Ten > gonna try and declaok
[ 2010.03.27 00:05:38 ] Cyber Ten > shout if he declaokes

Things go further from here.. don't have to write the story almost.. but.. I will:D hehehe. it gets better;)

[ 2010.03.27 00:06:15 ] eviwyn > decloacked
[ 2010.03.27 00:06:17 ] Ga'len > there
[ 2010.03.27 00:06:18 ] Cyber Ten > got him
[ 2010.03.27 00:06:24 ] eviwyn > who?
[ 2010.03.27 00:06:25 ] Cyber Ten > point
[ 2010.03.27 00:06:27 ] Cyber Ten > drake
[ 2010.03.27 00:06:29 ] Cyber Ten > warp in
[ 2010.03.27 00:06:32 ] eviwyn > omw

The 3 rifter pack drops in on the Drake's location and start engaging it in fast close tight orbit. We engage our weapon systems and talk tacticts as we engage the BC ship. We decide to make sure one keeps point and the other ships can hop out to recover and enage asap all the time. We will take out this ship!

[ 2010.03.27 00:07:13 ] Cyber Ten > warp out when needed
[ 2010.03.27 00:07:17 ] Cyber Ten > or does he have a point?
[ 2010.03.27 00:07:29 ] Ga'len > yes
[ 2010.03.27 00:07:33 ] Cyber Ten > damn
[ 2010.03.27 00:07:41 ] Cyber Ten > just try and get out of range if he hits to hard then
[ 2010.03.27 00:07:47 ] Ga'len > 9k point
[ 2010.03.27 00:08:12 ] eviwyn > you managing damage?
[ 2010.03.27 00:08:22 ] Ga'len > not really
[ 2010.03.27 00:08:24 ] Ga'len > we can't take him
[ 2010.03.27 00:08:32 ] Ga'len > got to warp out

It's tough.. but we are hardheaded and keep trying. We just wanna have a piece out of this dude!

[ 2010.03.27 00:08:34 ] Cyber Ten > repair and come back
[ 2010.03.27 00:08:38 ] Ga'len > k
[ 2010.03.27 00:08:44 ] Cyber Ten > i just wanna try :)
[ 2010.03.27 00:09:08 ] Cyber Ten > am out
[ 2010.03.27 00:09:18 ] Ga'len > evi, you clear?
[ 2010.03.27 00:09:22 ] eviwyn > so far yea
[ 2010.03.27 00:09:37 ] Ga'len > tusker in local
[ 2010.03.27 00:09:48 ] Cyber Ten > ask hgim to join
[ 2010.03.27 00:10:12 ] eviwyn > warping and recovering
[ 2010.03.27 00:10:35 ] eviwyn > right back
[ 2010.03.27 00:11:06 ] Ga'len > omw back
[ 2010.03.27 00:11:09 ] eviwyn > me too

We try to get into contact with the Tuskers guy in local.

[ 2010.03.27 00:10:09 ] Ga'len > Jaxley , drake in top belt
[ 2010.03.27 00:10:11 ] Ga'len > want to help?
[ 2010.03.27 00:10:39 ] Jaxley > can't see why not
[ 2010.03.27 00:10:45 ] eviwyn > great :)

So now we have a 3 rifter pack with reinforcements of a Puni class ship to take out the Drake. Nobody said it would be easy but we really want this:D..

[ 2010.03.27 00:11:16 ] Cyber Ten > i can't kepp point
[ 2010.03.27 00:11:32 ] eviwyn > jax already there?
[ 2010.03.27 00:11:35 ] Cyber Ten > yea
[ 2010.03.27 00:11:37 ] Cyber Ten > but he at 0
[ 2010.03.27 00:11:38 ] Ga'len > yeah
[ 2010.03.27 00:11:40 ] Cyber Ten > drake at 100
[ 2010.03.27 00:14:14 ] Ga'len > lol
[ 2010.03.27 00:14:18 ] Ga'len > we may get this now
[ 2010.03.27 00:14:28 ] eviwyn > would be way cool
[ 2010.03.27 00:15:32 ] Cyber Ten > overheat if u can
[ 2010.03.27 00:15:37 ] Cyber Ten > get him past peak

I get a note in on the comp sys from the lower decks armory.. not good news though.. we are almost out of Guristas Thorn Rockets and don't have any other rockets on board. We got some close in station though.

[ 2010.03.27 00:16:02 ] eviwyn > damn my last rockets
[ 2010.03.27 00:16:22 ] eviwyn > i got some in station here though
[ 2010.03.27 00:16:23 ] Ga'len > recovering
[ 2010.03.27 00:16:26 ] Cyber Ten > i jetisoned
[ 2010.03.27 00:16:33 ] Cyber Ten > get them from can

Cyber drops some rockets for me to pick up. We burn towards the container and my logistics crew gets ready for the pickup. This has to go fast since we need to keep putting DPS on the Drake. We make it short.. man I love my crew! The logistics people get the rockets to the armory asap and the rocket launcher is loaded again before it runs out of rockets almost even.

[ 2010.03.27 00:17:02 ] Cyber Ten > we got him
[ 2010.03.27 00:17:22 ] eviwyn > sweett
[ 2010.03.27 00:18:33 ] eviwyn > great job
[ 2010.03.27 00:18:48 ] Cyber Ten > scoop loot for those who want it :)

The Drake goes up in a sweet explosion as you see the 3 rifter pack burn around it's location. We all get on the pod as hungry wolves! We get it point and it's gone before we know it:D.. haha.. great job guys!! This was SWEEETTTTT. You can hear cheers comming from the decks and over the comms. Everybody is in a huge adrenaline rush now.
We get out some of the loot and recover from the fight.

It's nice to know that you can always count on other pirates.



Time has come to split up now. We all got different orders from now and will continue the patrol later on. o7 guys.. I watch the other rifters drop out of the formation and get to the needed positions for now. More to come soon!

Evi, OUT.
