BATTAL HAWK DOWN

Today my mighty Hawk boat went to VALHALLA. The past few days it had had some GLORIOUS VIKTORIES, like proving its courage against JAGUAR VESSAL. Swiftly disposing of DRAMIEL WARBOAT with Rapier friend, and fending off TARANIS OF DISHONOUR trying to hold me down for his Rupture and Jaguar comrades. This is also the Hawk from my recent blog post THE CONTINUED TALES OF LITTLE HAWKS THAT COULD. It was put together because friend and justice warrior MR KINGWOOD gave me a small pithi c-type booster and I feel I DEFINATLY GOT HIS MONIES WORTH.

Anyway I SHALL NOW RECALL THE LAST HOURS OF THIS MIGHTY VESSAL.

I formed up for an ELIT GENOS OCCIDERE JUSTIC ROAM, with WARLOAD PROZACXX in a mighty JAEGAR ATTAK BOAT and C7P9 also in a HAWK WARRIOR.

Three jumps into our patrol we come across SUSPICIOUS BEHAVIOR in the Orfrold solar system.

We set out to investigate, we go to a faction warfare plex acceleration gate, and soon an Arbitrator class cruiser warps in at range, WITH THE KNOWLEDGE THAT JUSTIC IS ON OUR SIDE WE MOVE TO ENGAGE. Prozacxx's jag arrives at the kriminal first and makes attack not long followed by myself and C7P9. As the Arb is about to hit its meaty armour tank the kriminals trap is sprung.

Two Dramiels arrive on grid, shortly followed by a Taranis and Vexor. They are however 100k off as they landed on the plex acceleration gate at zero. The two Drams close fast and try to stay out of Scram range, the Arbitrator is reduced to WREKAGE! and then C7P9, WITH COURAGE AND SPEED, manages to tackle one of the Drams and WE BRAWL IT DOWN.

After seeing their comrades explode so fast the other Dramiel and Taranis turn tail and burn away.

We burn towards them, the dram and ranis warp out, HOWEVER Prozacxx in his speedy Jag lands tackle on the plated small gun Vexor. WE BEGIN TO LIGHT THE KRIMINAL UP. It seems like he had been abandoned, but as he explodes HIS BRAV FRAND in the FEARSOME SLEIPNER COMMAND SHIP warps in at zero to make battle. Unfortunately for him, at 0 on three AF's is a p.bad place for a Sleip to be, we settled into orbit and began chipping away at him. The Taranis appeared on grid again but was soon EXPLODED. The Sleipner pilot UNABLE TO LIVE WITH THE BURDON OF THE KRIMES HE HAD COMMITED initiated self destruct.

As the Sleip entered low shield the Vexor pilot returned in a Myrmidon BATTALKRUISER, he then proceeded to get stuck on the acceleration gate 30k off so we ignored him.

AS THE SLEIPNER'S ARMOUR HIT 50% A HUGE EXPLOSION BEGAN. His self destruction was complete, and although it meant we received no kill mail, WE KNEW IN OUR HEARTS THAT JUSTIC HAD PRVAILED AND THAT IS WHAT MATTERS.

At this point we should of warped...

… Instead we went for the Myrm, not long after we had settled into orbit, a Hurricane landed, We switched to the cane and proceeded to dent its mighty armour buffer, BUT THESE BATTALKRUSERZ WERE NOT ALONE, another cane landed and between the multiple neuts, and webs they managed to explode my BRAVE HAWK WARRIOR, I warped my pod out as Prozacxx's JAGUAR WARBOAT and C7P9's HAWK exploded as well.

JUSTIC WAS SERVED, BUT AT A GREAT COST

Stabber: JUSTICE ISSUE!

Patrolling the familiar space lanes of Metropolis once again in my POLIC ISSUE STABBA. I come across A SUSPICIOUS LOOKING PIRAT MAN IN A HURRIKAN WARBOAT along with a almost as suspicious HARBINGAR LAZOR VESSAL. Curious as to the nature of their business I MAK PURSUIT to ensure all is well. I follow them through Orfrold and Egmar and into Arnher where I find them waiting for me on the gate. SEEMINGLY UNAWARE THAT ATTACKING A POLIC OFFICAH IZ AN OFFENCE, the HARBINGAR assaults me with lazer weapons, I immediately ENGAGE and get in a tight orbit with my afterburner running to reduce his damage. The Hurricane now obviously aware that I am a champion of justice and a threat to his pirating ways WRECKLESSLY JOINS THE ENGAGEMENT AND MAKES SHOOT AT ME. Thankfully the cane is cautious and engages outside of medium neut range and web range. THIS IS CLEARLY VERY CLEVER WITH ME SPEED TANKING AND ACTIVE TANKING.

In a completely UN pro move on my part upon engaging 2x high dps well ARMOUR tanked battlecruisers I

1. FORGET TO TAKE ANY SORT OF BOOSTER THE ENTIRE FIGHT

AND

2. BRAWL THEM WITH EMP AMMO

The Harb is very slowly going down and when he reaches about half armour THE HURRIKAN MOVES CLOSER TO MAK WEB AND NEUT. My tank is now under considerably more strain and my 800's are running low, So I heat my afterburner to try and counter the canes web and heat my guns TO BRAWL THE HARB DOWN FASTER.

FINALLY THE HARBINGAR LAZOR VESSAL EXPLODES \o/

I switch to the the cane and quickly apply my scram before getting into a tight orbit. I have only 3x 800's left and am being neuted so decided to keep repping to a minimal in order to keep my ab and scram on. With my armour dipping rather low at points I manage to hold out and soon

JUSTIC IS MADE ON THE PIRAT HURRIKAN

Satisfied with this excellent start to April, I dock up in Evati and log for the night

HURIKANE OF WELL THOUGHT OUT AND TOTALLY NOT WRECKLESS PLANS OF BATTAL

So I was flying around in my Hurricane trying to not be so wreckless cos I'm rather low on isk at the mo, then what did is see BUT A PROTEUS WITH A FLASHY KRIMINAL LOKI, clearly a not wreckless engagement, I locked them up and looked at them to clock their guns/subs the Loki's subs made it look like a big strange thrasher MY CANE CAN TOTALLY KILL THRASHERS I thought.

Also the Loki appeared to have t1 arty fitted, the Proteus also had t1 guns \o/

Unfortunately before battle could commence a Machariel landed and started firing meta 800mms at the Loki, WTF IS THIS WITH THE 2BILL OF HULLS FLOWN BY PEOPLE WHO CAN'T FIT THEM ALL IN ONE PLACE.

Anyway the T3's ran away and people started smacking each other about being cowards running away from each others t1 gunned lolboats.

As this was happening I FORMULATED AN INGENIUS AND TOTALLY NOT WRECKLESS PLAN. The plan was to swap the nano out in my cane for a third gyro load fusion chase the t3s and BRAWL THEM DOWN.

After The Mach had gone I pursued the t3 kriminals 2 jumps, I missed tackling the flashy Loki on 2 gates AS THEY HAD CLEARLY BRIBED THE CCP TO GIVE ME BAD UNCLOAKS ON JUMPS. They then told me how they can totally blow me up and docked :(

Disheartened I headed back to Ardar, but shortly after I'd docked up in Thukker the Proteus pilot entered system. I TURNED ON POLIC SIRENS AND MADE HASTE TO THE FLOSESWIN GATE. I set an orbit of 10k and waited for the Loki. The Proteus soon appeared on grid but he wasn't flashy and taking sentry fire for 2x t3s in a cane seemed unwise even if they were T1 gunned. Then the Loki pilot appeared in local, THE GATE FLASHED. I overloaded my highs and point in anticipation. Since the Proteus was on grid already I was gunna need to drop the Loki fast if I wanted to brawl them both down. The Loki uncloaked and started re-approaching the gate WITHOUT A PROP MOD, 20k from me, I heated the MWD pointed the kriminal AND GAVE HIM A SOLID BUMP OF JUSTIC \o/

I then park my cane next to him bombarding RF Fusion into his hull as he helplessly boosts his shields UNABLE TO ESCAPE THE JUSTIC OF MY WELL THOUGHT OUT PLAN OF ATTACK. The Proteus doesn't aggress at all he just sits there as the Loki Satisfyingly

EXPLODES \o/

I scoop the loot and warp off, as my Highs are dangerously hot and the Proteus hadn't aggressed.

Upon seeing the kill mail I feel somewhat disappointed that the booster didn't drop, but given police funds were at 16mil I can't really complain when I got the faction point and amplifier.

Later that evening, I'm returning to Ardar from Amamake in my Rifter, WHEN A GATE CAMP OF KRIMINALZ ATTEMPTS TO VIOLENCE ME they were flying a Muninn, a Harpy, a Rifter, and a Hurricane. I ofc escaped and with aggression on all of them JUST TWO JUMPS FROM MY HURRICANE. I quickly switch into my cane refitted its nano and returned for the kriminals. Conveniently the Muninn had entered Frerstorn one jump ahead of his gang, I let him aggress me so he thinks he's forcing me through the gate into his friends, and I believe it takes him by surprise when, after he agresses, I UNLEASH THE RIGHTEOUS FURY OF MY 425MM's. The Muninn, Is falling fast as the gate flash's, I fly away from the Harpy, Cane and Rifter staying out of possible scram range while finishing off the Muninn. Then I switch my guns and drones onto the Harpy, that soon like his Muninn friend IS REDUCED TO WRECKAGE BY THE FORCES OF GOOD. The Rifter of course is next to explode. RIGHT TIME FOR YOU TO SPLODE NOW MISTER KRIMINAL HURRICANE, as I begin to go to work on the cane, what appears but of course A DAM FALCAN!!! I'm promptly jammed, I hold on grid for a bit to see if I can get a lock on the Falcon but I'm completely permajammed, I BUMP HIM TO SHOW MY DISAPROAVAL and then dock up, to rage a lil bit about how much I hate Falcons. During which time I notice Laedy had posted a new blog ABOUT THE EVIL BANE OF ANY SOLO PVPER and how her new corp like them.

GF GF (exc. FALCAN!!!)

A Rare Sight

Is that?.....

no, it can't be......

IT IS!!!

A SOLO EVE UNI BATTLECRUISER WTF!!!

The brave blobless eve uni Harbinger with none of his kriminal fold nearby engaged my Hurricane battleboat of the Ardar gate in Hadozeko, I opened fire a little warily, half expecting a cyno to light, spewing forth a million 10day old blackbirds. It didn't, Bc one on one was a go. \o/

As my RF Fusion starts hitting I soon realise that this Harbinger has a shield tank. Though I'm not contemplating the dent of red on his shields long before 5 Vespa EC-600s appear and I promptly get jammed. WELL THAT WAS NOT ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED.

I take this opportunity to switch out to RF EMP, and burn away from the Harb so he has to switch out to Scorch, which although hurty would be less hurty than faction Multifrequency.

Now to wait out the jams.

Waiting...

Waiting...

Waiting...

WOOOO \o/ I finally get a lock as my buffer cane hits half armour, I make short work of the Vespas with my 220mm's as I'm burning away from them making them easy to track. Vespas down I swing round and get in a tight Orbit of the Harbinger.

I went for a tight orbit as him being a shield tanked Harbinger meant that he wasn't going to have a cap booster to support his very cap hungry lazors, and as a double medium neut cane with most of their armour buffer gone, it was in my best interests to make myself as hard to track as possible WHILE I OVERHEAT MY NEUTS AND DESTROY THE KRIMINALZ OFFENSIVE CAPABILITIES \o/

I'm in low armour by the time his lazors switch off, and with his lazors drained of cap, and no damage drones, I'm highly confident that I won't be taking anymore damage, so I proceed to move out from my close orbit...

AND BRAWL THE KRIMINAL DOWN \o/

GF GF

And props to stigirl for engaging on an even footing despite their corp ticker.

BATTALING THE PIRAT

September 1^st and the way I like to start any new month is BATTALING THE PIRAT MENACE. I logged on in Police headquarters Thukker Mix, in Ardar. And surprise surprise LOCAL IS FULL OF PIRATS. The pirates were Back to Yarrr flavour pirates, generally good for a fight and nearly always in numbers. Seeing that there were a few in local I undock the justice Tempest and blip the dscan. CYCLON, HURRIKAN, DOMIX, hmm okay TO THE PLANET. I warp in at range from a safe and am soon joined by a cane who burns towards me, I align let him catch up a bit and slam on the mwd as his friends get closer on my scanner. I start cycling the neuts and 800mm's on the cane, his shield is stripped fast, and I begin to go to work on his crunchy Armour centre, unfortunately he turns tail sooner than I was expecting and manages to get out of point range and warp. New Local enters, Back to Yarrr, blip the scanner DRAEK BOAT. Okay manageable, the Cyclone is now overheating mwd at me and closing fast, I lock him up but hold fire until he's well in the danger zone of my turrets, as I really don't wanna miss this kill as well as the cane. Cyclone at 11k GO GO POLIC AUTOCANNONZ. Like the cane he starts to bug out, however this time I'm more ready I flip my pest around heat mwd and Brawl the Pirat man down. During all this the Domi had warped off and back in on the Cyc, as the Cyc exploded I started to move away from the Domi, but not before having my cap drained to nothing, meaning a lot of spamming of my cap boosters. Safely out of heavy neut range now, and the DRAEK BOAT is burning at me fast, I click to top up the pitiful amount of phased plasma in my guns. Ummm oh dear someone's Police boat isn't well stocked for ammo, all I have is Barrage, not really ideal but will have to do, I Load it up and fire some long range rounds at the injured cane 57k off while I await the MIGHTY DRAEK BOAT. Drake hits about 18k and I decided to check my cargo to assess the cap booster situation because I'm gunna need to do some heavy neuting soon on this clearly scram fit DRAEK BOAT. No boosters left dammit, stupid neuty domi, The combination of cap being low, having no boosters left, and having barrage loaded for a DRAEK, brings me to the conclusion that I should bail, The Draek kindly webs me into warp.

Not to long later I hear of KRIMINAL MASTARMIND PERSEPHONE ASTRID, who incidentally IS YET TO MAKE ME A CAKE. And another Bastard a Mister RoninData roaming close by. I know RoninData is in a Taranis but when I flew about to do some reconnaissance in the pest I didn't clock Astrids boat, nevermind i'll go ship to fight the ranis, I hop into A MIGHTY JUSTIC VIGIL LAW BOAT, and go a chasing. Astrids in a Crow WACK, although I reckon I can take a Crow down in my vigil it's a dicey fight so really I need to go for the ranis. I give chase. Astrid orbits me at a gate at 100 for a while with the ranis clearly close by on Dscan, DO YOU THINK I AM STUPID PERSEPHONE ASTRID I AM NOT ROLLING OFF THE GATE WITH THE RANIS SO CLOSE AT LEAST SEND HIM TO A FURTHER SAFE IF YOU WANT TO TRY THAT TRAP.

Astrid then warps off to the Klogori gate, the ranis I assume does as well. I give chase and being pirates in two interceptors they decide to try and keep moving ahead of me instead of making battal. THEN THEY ARE UNDONE BY THEIR NATURAL DESIRE TO PICK ON THE WEAK. I jump into Orfrold after them, I hold cloak, as I see a potential pve cane on scan, easy and tempting prey for two pirate intys, so I rightly assume they are holding cloak looking to see where he is. Astrid then warps in the canes direction PERFECT, I know full well Astrid won't engage if RoninData had warped for tackle, as shes a pew for profit kinda gal, but from what I know of Mr Ronindata from hearing other Bastards talk of him, is that he's the type who's well up for a GF GF. I uncloak dcu on preheat ab, sure enough the brave Mr RoninData uncloaks and goes for me. \o/

I go to work on the Ranis, Astrid arrives when he's in half hull and starts slamming missiles into my vigil from outside of point range. The Taranis explodes in flames of Justice just as Astrid gets into point range. I then obviously being in deep hull at this point go down. After this I realise I had forgotten a damage rig :( this would of saved my Vigil cos really popping the ranis one volley earlier would of let me get out.

Soon after when PERSPHONE ASTRID had logged off WITHOUT GIVING ME ANY CAKE. Mr RoninData and I agree to a good ol' fashioned Rifter 1v1. I assume he's gunna be Cookie cutter plate, repper, ac's, ab, full tackle, and I decide to grab an Arty Rifter from my hanger, a fit that I totally stole, and slightly modified from a very talented local solo warrior named Snippse. I hold range throughout the fight and Mr RoninData satisfyingly explodes.

EVIDENCE COLLECTION

Ardar was pretty empty, not long ago i'd lost a Tempest to a battlecruiser gang, and the wreck was 60k off the Hadozeko gate. So being the enterprising young officer that I am I hop into my VIGIL BOAT OF JUSTICE ENFORCEMENT AND EVIDENCE RECOVERY, to go and salvage my wreck. I notice in an intel channel that “The Entity” a terribad alliance who like to bait and blob are a few jumps out in 3 Hurricanes, I don't pay much attention to it though as there is evidence to be recovered.

I land on the gate and head out to the wreck, lock it up and proceed to salvage. Then local jumps up and the gate flashes. An Entity Rifter and Stiletto uncloak and start burning towards me with MWD's.

THIS IS A KRIME SCENE AND OFFBOUNDS TO MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC.

I lock up the Rifter as he screeches into scrambler range, I move to 7k from him and turn on my rails making sure to stay within 5k of the Tempest wreck to continue salvaging.

SALVAGE SUCCESSFUL \o/

Then the interfering Rifter explodes, and I turn my attention to the Stiletto that is pointing me from 20k, and the three Hurricane class boats steaming towards me. I burn away from the Hurricanes gaining some distance, then turn a harsh 180 degrees, heat my afterburner and scramble the Stiletto.

The intercepter pilot is soon, much like his Rifter friend in a POD!

His explosion however coincided with a Hurricane getting into long point range, with my Vigil in deep structure and precious evidence in my cargo hold it seems attempting arrest of the Hurricanes would be fool hardy, so I burn out of point range and warp with 28% Hull.

I dock up in Thukker mix to process the evidence.

HALLO MR EXENTHAL

Now I'm not one for going to a huge amount of effort to fight eve celebrities like fellow blogger Mr Kadavr is, However, if one happens to fly by I'll willingly offer them a 1v1 if I can match there ship class. The other day I was all chillin' at Thukker Mix in my home system of Ardar, and who should enter local but Prometheus Exenthal, most known for his FRIGANK series which if you haven't seen check it out, its got some pretty fly music, and in one he bumps a Rupture in an Enyo which is like totally awesome. Anyway, after enquiring as to the nature of his boat, I find out he's in a Cyclone so I offer him a battlecruiser 1v1, unfortunately I don't have any of the cool tier 1 battlecruisers fit up, only a Hurricane and a Myrmidon so I offer him the choice and he opts to fight my cane.

Annoyingly there is a lame Amarr gang camping Thukker Mix when I undock, fortunately though THEIR CRIMINAL WAYS WILL NEVER PROVAIL and they fail to tackle myself or Prometheus, they do have probes out though, and they had seen in local that we were gunna have some boat violence in a safe.

Using all of our internet spaceship cunning we manage to lose them with the in genius plan of jumping into the next system to fight, Prometheus safes up and I warp to him to commence battle, I land right on top of him and we immediately scram each other, Caldari Navy Hellfire Assault Missiles start tearing through my shields, thermal ay seems he'd wrongly assumed me of being a FOTM shield cane \o/

I switch on the tracking disruptor, web him, start staggering my 2x medium neuts and settle into an orbit. His boosting is pretty mighty at first but then the effects of the Neuts become glaringly obvious. Prometheus's shields fade and his Cyclone is not long for this universe. GF GF
