We've had a busy day today. Slade killed a navy megathron and a retriever shortly before I logged in. Strangely a procurer from the same corp as the mega started mining, we figured it was a trap. Frank checked the hisec side, the mega's corp had a badger mk2 sitting outside of the exit.
I waited till the procurer dropped a can, bookmarked it and ran willy nilly off to the tower for a cheap ship to commence battle. Now the procurer had left a sleeper in the site as it could permatank it with ease, so a bomber wouldn't work.....hmm refit here and there and grabbed my old standby myrmidon.
Warped in, got a point on the barge, popped his can and the sleeper wrecks he left (salvaged one of them) and started dropping rounds into his shields. Getting through armor and Frank piped up that a slepnier and drake from the pilots corp showed up on the hole. Slade saw them come inside, and they started warp to my location as the last sliver of hull vaporized from the barge.
Both hostiles landed just as I entered warp, maybe half a second too late to point me. That is quite the adrenalin rush, and my first actual kill in ages. 20k damage, that barge is a tough one.
Soon after, both hostiles left, and an unrelated anathema and hurricane came in to presumeably scout.
There's not many feelings quite like backup dropping out of warp as you're pushing your own ship to leave. Nice kill!
ReplyDeleteThanks :D. It was quite a thrill ride, another second or 2 staying in the anomoly and I would have likely gotten pointed and then destroyed.
