FC: Breeze One
2IC/Anchor: Decklin (also Prober)
Scouts: Troven, Ashahara, Zarquu, Union
Dictors: Adrien Claremont, B'aldrick
MVP : Troven Smalvard, king of the wormholes!
So, rather than visit the usual Null Sec locations, I put a bounty out for Null Wormhole connections from LSC. I especially offered 25mn ISK for a connection to Delve or Provi - usually a pretty long shot. Troven however decided to make the most of this, and got me a route which took us to both
Now, Talwars arent the best fleet for hunting ratters in Provi, ideally for that you'd bring Combat Ceptors or another fast fleet with tackle which can shotgun a system, but who am I to turn down a trip to the fabled land of ratters and easy kills!?
I called for a few more Interceptors for tackle, and made sure we had some combat probes, and we headed out!
Truly it was the promised land....we almost immediately popped a Helios who was AFK on a gate
Helios +34.76m
Then our scouts caught a fat golden Turkey bird who we roasted with Nova missiles
Prophecy +111.65m
Capsule +0.01m
We spent a while (podssibly too long) chasing a VNI who, rather than docking up when he saw our scouts, instead started bouncing between safe spots, much to the frustration of our probers. Ultimately he escaped, so we blew up his MTU out of spite
Mobile Tractor Unit +9.45m
A Chimera started following us around at this point, and he caught one of us by suprise before we started evading him fairly successfully. Glen checked his name with the Spectre guys who confirmed he was likely bait who we didnt want to mess with (my initial thought as well given our numbers and single Griffin)
Capsule +0.01m
Talwar -7.16m
Despute the Chimera and a few friends chasing us, we got two nice kills in system of a Vexor and a cheap fit Typhoon with a nice pod
Vexor +21.1m
Capsule +0.01m
Typhoon +185.61m
Capsule +76.71m
We also snatched a Caracal who jumped into us, although his pod escaped our bubble
Caracal +33.48m
We spent a while fruitlessly probing down various targets in a ratting pocket before a Dominix was spotted warping gate to gate. We got ahead of him, and bubbled up both sides of the gate. We forced him though, then slowed him down enough when he tried to crash gate, and he was finally forced to aggress, securing us the best kill of the night
Dominix +314.27m
Capsule +5.48m
Hanging out hunting on a gate, our bubble caught a Thorax warping over who got blapped pretty fast
Thorax +47.61m
Then, we engaged a Brutix Navy Issue on a gate. We were burning through his Hull tank when the cyno went up. We were still partially bubbled when the Chimera jumped in, and FC had burnt the fleet out of the bubble, but hadnt aligned the fleet to anything so a couple of us died to the Chimera before we warped. My bad guys, not saying we would have escaped with no losses, but if I'd have kept us aligned we definitely would have lost less
Capsule +0.01m
Stiletto -31.68m
Talwar -9.32m
Talwar -32.88m
Talwar -7.94m
At this point we packed up and headed home via the Hi-Sec route from Dital. Job well done boys!
