Our corp is regularly roaming through nearby regions just to get that nice adrenaline rush! But today was a special day…
We made our roaming public to our alliance and got a really great feedback. We got ’round 40 mates in fleet. Mostly BCs, HACs and a few tacklers, quite a nice DPS-Output overall! First we got visited by our Varangians friends. I guess they thought this time it was up to them to visit us. Usually we are the ones to give them our more or less bloody hugs every evening. Well, our welcome was very warm indeed. The only one who died heroically was our CEO, our favourite bait. hehe!
As they logged off, we took the opportunity to make those 20 jumps to their territory, also looking forward to a possible second fight when they roam home. But to make a long story short: M3 was boringly empty and the gang chose a path through Geminate. So our FC decided to visit some other Russians ’round the corner. The Legion of xXDeathXx. They are famous for launching carriers to fight our 6 man mixed BC, Cruiser gangs. But this time we had more firepower. As we entered their station-system, a neut omen jumped through and was instantly grilled by our deathmachine. Soon after we were ordered to distribute through the system, checking celestials, belts, and planets.
One guy yelled: Harbinger in the belt. POINT! So I instantly went into warp to my gang-member. But sadly enough it was too late, the POD was already on its way out when I landed on grid.
All of a sudden, my overview revealed a beautiful red colour. An enemy Nidhoggur landed in the belt either to help the Harbinger or to play with us. I already was in warp to a gate, but once there turned around and burned back to the battlefield. In the meantime a Chimera arrived there as well. Everyone was aligned to the sun or a gate and put all their firepower on the Nidhoggur. At first we laughed, because normally they bring several other carriers as well. So no chance to seriously hit this big ship. But except of the two there was nothing on scan. And our weapon cocktail was slowly chewing through his armor. And then through his structure. We couldn’t believe it. He went down. What a victory! His friends must have been sleeping. Or his ego was too big. Blinded by the success I loaded RF EMP S into my auto-cannons and engaged the Chimera from a 5000m orbit. His shield was nearly down to 50%, when my overview was suddenly tinted in red.
I was heavily neuted and tackled. Projectiles and beams stroke into my shields, the armor and finally structure. It was a matter of time. So THIS is what you guys need to take down my hurricane!!!?? Hehe.. I could evade the scene in my POD, so at least my implants were safe. And I would sacrifice another Cane just to get on that killmail.
What a great roam, what a great fight. These are the moments, that make EVE such a special game. Good night New Eden!
