[AAR] NSC QRF against our Kiting Nemesis

Post by Staberinde »

We were visited yesterday by UFO., their approach heralded by my personal nemesis Nibelungen2337 in his Stiletto. This time with two Cynabals in tow.

After the usual taunting display outside PC9 station; where we refused to play their game, the small raiding party dipped into the pocket so it was time to make our move.

Also an honourable mention to our bros in Solitude who brought a Thrasher fleet along, although I think they arrived as things were winding down after hiking the trail - Read about their adventure after the camp --> https://forum.eveuniversity.org/viewtop ... 6&t=107321

Prologue: JH- Camp
A fleet was formed quickly, including a HIC and numerous ships, mostly cruisers and frigs/destroyers we headed over to JH- to trap them in. It didn't take long for their scout to drop into us, he made it back to PC9 but the message was clear, they weren't getting out without a fight! While sitting on the gate a coincidental roaming fleet with another stiletto and 3 Drakes arrived courtesy of Parotto Social Club It was a little tense as the Drakes landed outside our range. We dropped the bubble and covered the HIC while it de-aggressed and dropped back into PC9, no casualties. Quick work on the PC9 side also meant we got the bubble up before anyone escaped.

The main event: PC9
Back in PC9 with the UFO cynabals at a tac but unable to come close to the gate with our firepower it was a waiting game for us. The drakes were out as far as we thought, until unexpectedly not only did they get in but quickly burnt out of range of our firepower with barely a scratch. Putting our fleet on the defensive against 3 BCs 2 Pirate frigs and a pair of interceptors to run interference. With the home advantage though, while both sides entered a standoff we got a chance to reship, I swapped my harbinger for a Drake and we got a few Caracals on grid to back up the majority of drone boats.

Figuring they could break through enough of us to escape the fight started, the drakes started to fight at range while the Cynabals looked to close in on smaller targets. The uni fleet performed admirably though, targets were selected for long range while fast drones were constantly used to harass the interceptors off grid. The Cynabals warped in and out multiple times but eventually we caught one and dropped it in short order. The other fled and then it was just a matter of polishing off the drakes, 1 of each escaped and logged in the pocket.

We exchanged an even number of ships, but far more valuable kills than losses, the only sad point was the loss of a Machariel in PC9 while we were camping waiting for them to come to us.

Encounter Losses -176m
Stork -102m
Arbitrator -34m
Vexor -32m
Dragoon -8m

Encounter Kills +513m
Drake +82m
Drake +87m
Cynabal +294m
Kitsune +50m

As the victors we also had the opportunity to loot the field, for an additional swing of +152m
