Tanking like a Hero

Today I managed to find time for a lil roam in a JUSTIC ISSUE STABBA, kindly donated to the forces of justice by Alice Mariska.

After roaming through Geminite and finding nothing but a UPS gang, which, although I toyed with for a while, proved un-viable to fight as both a FALCAN DISHONOUR BOAT and RAPIER SLOWING VESSAL were brought onto the field.

Eventually. in FDZ4-A I came across A LOITERING PIRAT MAN in a Cyclone 200km off of a station. I burned for the Kriminal , he locked me on my approach, and began splattering ac fire towards me. THIS MAN WAS PREPARED FOR BATTAL. Knowing there was no way I could win a straight up slug fest in the fit i was flying, I decided to kite his gun damage while denting his tank with emp until he was dry on cap boosters.

I settled into a comfortable orbit of 16km utilizing my mwd when needed to maintain range and tackle.

BATTAL PART ONE: DRONE SUPREMACY

The first challenge came when the enimie hornets were deployed. THESE NEEDED TO DIE!

I was obviously unable to track hornets in tight orbit of my boat. So I had to run my mwd for some time, gaining range and popping them one by one, this took some time as the pirat man was cleverly recycling his drones. This wrecked havoc on my cap, almost allowing him to leave my point range, and also increased my sig so that his HML's the only weapon in his arsenal doing damage to me were hurting ALOT more.

BATTAL PART TWO: WAR OF ATTRITION

As mentioned earlier the Cyclone's missiles were hitting, although they dont do heavy damage this was a LONG fight where I was doing tankable damage in order to wear down the enimies supply of 800s. This also made this by default a competion of WHO HAS ENOUGH AMMO. The pirates FACTION HEAVY MISSALS eventually took me to peak recharge and would of with some more time beaten my tank.

but then

SUDDENLY T1 AMMO

his faction missile stock was dry \o/ and his damage was manageable. HOWEVER i had already run out of emp, and was mostly through my phased plasma. It looked like the Cyclone pilot may of run out of or low on 800s though, as he was getting occasional armour bleed. As the last of my plasma ammo spat out of my 425s I had one option left

IF I WAS TO PRVAIL LIKE A TRUE MEMBER OF THE HYDRA RELOADED JUSTIC SQUAD. Of course, the Cyclone may well of been baiting me, as he had obviously, from how he had kept his tank at peak recharge been very skilled at cap conservation with his shield booster.

I loaded RF fusion, and closed into range of his scrambler with the simple plan

OF BRAWLING HIM DOWN.

It seemed he had run out of 800s as hoped and my autocannons ripped chunks out of his armour before melting the Cyclone structure.

P.S. A big congratulations for all of those in my corp and alliance who made a controversial, but well deserved 1st and 2nd place happen in the alliance torny last night. Especially to Laedy who is a hero

Re-EDUKATION

Of recent I have mainly been BATTALING THE KRIMINAL MENACE THAT IS EVE UNIVERSITY. A small group of Ivy League kriminals have set themselves up in my neighbouring system of Hadozeko. They are a lot more fun to engage than normal eve uni gangs, they still drop ecm boats and Recons on a solo Rupture but less than your average eve uni gang, Also they still have the annoyingly self righteous BUT WE HAVE LOW SP, OUR PILOTS FLY RECONS AND HACS AND R OLDER TOONS THAN YOU BUT WE HAVE LOW SP!!!!!!! SO FALCON, RAPIER, 3 BCS AND SOME FRIGS V YOUR CANE IS GF GF COS WE HAVE LOW SP GF GF

We have had some great fights though with many loses and kills on both sides. In order to counter the ewar issue I have on occasion teamed up with other JUSTIC WARRIORZ who I've been rather enjoying flying with of recent.

MISTER KINGWOOD

I encounted mister Kingwood in a Hadozeko belt as I was swatting off a very ambitious Malediction. We agreed to a Cyclone 1v1 and I headed to Ardar to grab my Cyc, while he safed up.

Neither of us had crystals, and were both fielding damage drones and fairly standard fits. I landed at 0 on Kingwood, HAM's and AC's fired out from our boats, the battle was brutal, but my third gyro made the difference and Mister Kingwood's Cyclone was decommissioned. After chatting a bit, I deduced that Mister Kingwood WAS ALSO LOCKED IN AN EPIC JUSTIC BATTAL WITH THE KRIMINALZ IN IVY LEAGUE, as they had INVADED his beloved home of Hadozeko. So together we decided to FIGHT THE ENIMIE IN A SPECIAL JUSTIC SQUAD, Kingwood is a great pilot, but the most important thing I've learnt is that if he says, LS TACKLE THAT CURSE and I'm in an expensive cruiser THEN I SHOULD IGNORE HIM AND WARP OFF.

BATTAL ROBOT OFFICAH LEELOO MALAQUIN

Some may know of Leeloo from his Rifter video, if you don't then you should watch it cos its pretty stylish. Incidentally I'm in it AS THE ONLY RIFTER HE SHOOTS AT THAT DOESNT EXPLODE \o/ though sadly he escapes from me. :(

I've come across Leeloo many times in the past year partially on account of him being in the same corp as my homie Kimura Masahiko. But recently I've teamed up with him to roam AND HUNT DOWN KRIMINALS *, including but not limited to EVE UNIVERSITY. Leeloo is possibly the pilot I've flown with THAT IS MOST LIKE ROBOCOP, his piloting is very precise, his tactics efficient, he also seems to always remain rather calm. CLEARLY SOME SORT OF ROBOTIC OFFICAH, and thankfully for us HE IS ON THE SIDE OF JUSTIC.
