Hi All
This might prove interesting, might not. We finally got Imperian!
fraps of his unlikely demise available here:
EVE Online | EVE Insider | Forums
With us killing a titan I've almost achieved my goal of killing (and not by self destructing) almost every class of ship in eve
(Got black Op's BS left on list)
Backstory is this (from a tri perspective)
About 2 weeks ago (just before Christmas) we were given access to a linked evemail or forum post instructing MM pilots to relocate significant pvp assets to ROIR-Y, an NPC system based very close to our current base of operations (An NPC station system 4 jumps away). This was to assist in the defence of P-2TTL a Mostly Harmless station system which we've been greifing and attacking with Iniative, Evoke, ROL & CO2 alliances
We stepped up our attack on P2 and decided (after what had been 2 alarm clock (03:00) and one very late (01:30) assaults to have an evening of fun and frivolity.
We bought and equipped Ravens and fitted them up with shield buffer tanks with Cruise missile launchers and a cloak. The plan was to send these out on a roam as a giant drake wannabe gang with cloaking command ships and logistics so we could cloak in a system. We're just putting the op together when we get informed that 2 weeks late, MM are finally moving assets into ROIR-Y.
We move into system with Initiative and some ROL and decide to grief their staging POS (Player owned structure, towers in space with forceshields where you can safely log off/ log in to avoid system camps etc). We've sieged some poses using dreadnaughts (Possibly as bait) to see if NC respond and bring a fleet.
Low and behold cyno goes up, two MM titans jump in with one already in POS and one of the titans bumps or cynoes in outside of tower shields by some distance.
We warp to the Titan and get some of our BS in between him and the shields and then proceed to bump him further away from the pos (by ramming him with our ships) whilst the cavalry arrives. The whole fight took about 5-10 minutes and was laggy as anything but we got him. I then stupidly ran my Devoter into a gate gamp whilst still giddy with success and got a 160 mill of hictor popped. DOH!
We've now taken P-2TTL despite some hiccups with TCU's. Iniative didn't pay the bill for the first one (doh!) and the second one got popped at like 03:00 or something. The third TCU finally went online around 14:00 eve time today so we've taken our second NC system. (J-C was the first but that was more of a trial run vs a defunct alliance rather than attacking an active and fairly large NC friend in MH)
I'm hoping we see some tweaks to the sov system soon tbh - It's a tough old grind at the moment.
