Once again I see why I decided to join Sniggerdly. Last nights ops were just awesome!
First we started off by heading into 0.0 chasing after those fleet blobs however the server went down before we could get into business and kill stragglers heading for the big fleet blob.
Then we continued to piss-off local alliance people far out in Curse and went back to our own space with cargo-hold filled with goodies.
Later that evening we returned with a strikeforce of battleships when we heard a gank-blob of Stain members were chasing on our turf. We found them jumping after a miner operation in a dead-end system, so we decided we'd wait for them to return.
Shortly after they jumped in and I could count to more than 5 battleships, a couple of battlecruisers and interceptors.
Of course we were ready with our own short-range battleships and took down two scorpions and a tempest before the others from the Stain blob fled. It was generally a very fun battle where we had no losses.
Two hours later I was back in empire, found some Tri-star industries complex runners. They decided to gank my thorax by the gate and I was unfortunate enough to be carrying a ship load worth of t2 loot at the moment so I quickly made-way for a station to drop off the goodies before I returned to try take on the raven that attacked me.
I saw three of them in system but I figured I'd be able to take down at least one of them , however none of them wanted to play with me anymore near the gates and they just sat at a planet.
I decided to call for backup, and within minutes we had three battleships ready to start attacking on my signal.
Warping in on the planet I held them down long enough in my thorax for my gangmates to jump in and finish them off. Sadly I did lose my very beloved thorax but the loss was worth what we got in loot. In addition to the three battleships, we also killed a straggler vagabond which decided to aid them.
I must say that my choice to sacrifice my thorax in-order to keep them in local for a couple of minutes more for my mates to get there was well worth it.
Grand fighting night!
