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

ALARMING NEWS

Dear New Edan

I BRING YOU SAD NEWS TODAY

It seems the popular institution EVE UNIVERSITY, that is WELL KNOWN AND RESPECTED has BECOME OFFICALLY PIRATS

Earlier today WHILE ON PATROL FOR JUSTIC a group of EVE UNIVERSITY PIRATS sat camping a lowsec gate LIKE THE MOST LOWLY OF PIRATS. Attempted to VANDALIZ MY VESSAL taking GLOBAL KRIMINAL COOLDOWN. They, like pirat amateurs, since they are new to such ways, took casualties to gate fire alone, as I jumped out and WARPED TO FREEDOM

Immediately I sent a letter to EVE UNIVERSITY CEO to warn him of PIRATING WITHIN HIS UPSTANDING INSTITUTION

From: Lady Shaniqua

Sent: 2011.04.20 00:38

To: Kelduum Revaan,

Greetings Kelduum

My name is OFFICA LADY SHANIQUA, of ELIT ANTI PIRAT GROUP Genos Occidere. A proud member of STRONG JUSTIC ALICE HYDRA RELOADED

I Am afraid i am writing to you with GRAVE NEWS INDEED, concerning members of your university

Today i was quite frankly SHOCKED and APPAULLED, witnessing 9 of your pupils BREAK THE LAW and take GLOBAL KRIMINAL COOLDOWN on a low sec gate. I witnessed this first hand as it was myself they attempted to pirate. LUCKILY my many years fighting krime and the PIRAT MENACE gave me the CUNNING AND GUILE to evade the amatuar pirates.

I am writing you this mail, as I realize as a RENOWNED ANTI-PIRAT BASTION OF JUSTICE the university should not tolerate this behaviour.

THE LAST THING THIS HIVE OF VILLANY that is metropolis low sec needs IS MORE BUDDING KRIMINALZ.

Below are listed your wayward studants

Storos Sahara Sena Ran Kildar Qri Orlais Takedu Oda triangleSLO Kozilla DoubleSun Power Dante Tempest-Vain

I HOPE YOU WILL SEE FIT TO GUIDE THESE CONFUSED YOUFFS BACK ON TO THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.

For now i shall turn a blind eye, but if they are caught again pirating in ANTI PIRAT PROTECTED SPACE. Then THE HARSHEST PENALTIES WILL BE SORT AGAINST OUTLAWZ.

REGARDS

LS

I was soon convoed by EVE UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVE Joanna Davaham who alarmingly me informed me of eve uni's policy to shoot non flashy justic bringers on gates in low sec. Joanna then closed conversation REFUSING TO HEAR THE ARGUMENTS FOR NOT TAKING THE WAYS OF THE KRIMINAL.

I AM DISAPOINT EVE UNI AND I HOPE YOU SEE THE ERROR IN TURNING DOWN THE PATH OF KRIME TO ONCE AGAIN TEACH THE MEANING OF RIGHTEOUSNESS TO NEW EDANS YOUFF

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

THE CONTINUED TALES OF LITTLE HAWKS THAT COULD

I jumped into Ezsur on a routine petrol, and what do I see BUT A SENSOR BOOSTING ARTILLERY RUPTURE. It belongs to The Murientor Tribe, who just happen to be renowned for being one of the most CORRUPT UNDERHANDED CORPS WITHIN THE MINMATAR COMMUNTIY SUPPORT FORCES. He's 60k off me, I uncloak my Hawk class war vessel and gain transversal, as I reach 40k he opens fire. MISS. I heat my afterburner and continue to burn in at an angle while covered by the sentry guns. MANNED ON THIS DAY BY UPSTANDING CITIZANZ RESISTANT TO THE BRIBES OF THIS KRIMINAL CORP. I begin to launch Rockets as the kriminal EXPLODES before I even get in scram range. As his pod appears on overview so does his corp mate in a FEARSOME RAPIER, followed by an Enyo, a Rifter, and a Dramiel. I get in a tight orbit of the Rapier thinking, HE'S SURELY NOT GOING TO ENGAGE AT THIS RANGE IS HE...ESPECIALLY WITH ARTY....WAIT A SEC...HE IS...GO GO JUSTIC SCRAMBLER. The foolish Rapier is soon reduced to scrap. As his friends watch unable to do anything.

Not wanting to engage the Enyo, Dram and Rifter all at once I casually drop some ammo in a can to see if they bite. Eventually the Dram pilot takes it, THEN UPON REALISING HIS 65MILLION ISK FRIG MIGHT GET SHOT AT BY A HAWK OF STRONG HONOUR AND MIGHTAY ROCKATZ he immediately burns away. I try to catch him for a few minutes before he docks to hide from my wrath.

Due to the amount of times this corrupt corp have shipped up in station to bigger ships/numbers and overwhelming ewar, when involved in a GFGF against me where they already have huge advantages, I end up feeling p.happy about the engagements result.

VOTANG FOR SRS BUISNESS INTERNET SPACESHIP COUNCIL

This Csm I have 2 votes due to having aquired a hauling alt.

My first Vote went to MR PROMETHEUS EXENTHAL

Mr Exenthal has been mentioned before in one of my Blogs Earliest posts last year,

AND I CAN GIEF A STRONG VOUCH FOR HIS HONOUR AND DEDICATION TO THE PURSUIT OF JUSTIC.

It seems very obvious for me to vote for him as a predominantly solo PvPer myself, I have a vested interest having a dedicated soloer representing the interests of the playerbase.


My 2nd vote went to Elise Randolph

Elise is a MIGHTY WARRIOR AND DEFENDER OF THE WEAK.
I agree with alot of his expressed views, also

HERE IS A VIDEO WAT HE MADE ABOUT BEING A HERO OF THA LEGION

ROCKAT WORRIAR

I've been brushing up on my missile skills and recently got T2 Rockets. So OBVIOUSLY I BOUGHT A HAWK WAR BOAT.

FIRST BATTAL

I had just warped to the Egmar gate in Arnher and turned away from the keyboard to enjoy my rather nice cup of tea.

WHEN SUDDENLY I HEARD THE SOUND OF AUTOCANNON FIRE.

I looked at my screen to see a Wolf space boat trying to violence me. With my shields about to hit 50%, I engaged and got in a tight orbit to reduce tracking. I hit peak recharge as I broke through to his armour, and to my surprise huge chunks of red began to appear in it.

HE HAD NO PLATE \o/

Eventually he popped with my Hawk in high hull.

NEVA SURRENDA

Unimpressed by my Hawks performance against the Wolf I roamed on. But was unable to get a fight until much later on, when back in Arnher I saw A MIGHTY PIRAT DAREDEVIL.

Despite the fearsome nature of the Daredevil ROCKAT WORRIAR was a STRONG HAWK OF JUSTIC, WITH A NO SURRENDER POLICY.

The Daredevil appeared a 100k off me, I looked at his ship and spotted t2 Neutrons. The pirat began to MWD at me as I formulated my BATTAL PLAN.

I burned towards him then slammed on the Hawks breaks as he hit hit web range BUT WAITED TO APPLY WEB AND SCRAM UNTIL AFTER HE HAD OVERSHOT ME \o/

Then I heated my afterburner and attempted to maintain the range we were at. My mighty rockets began shredding the 100million isk glass cannon as he began to catch up, but by the time his mighty neutrons started scoring hits on my favourable Caldari T2 resists it was to late.

THE PIRAT MAN EXPLODED

I caught and enforced justice upon the pirates pod, before scooping evidence and warping ROCKAT WORRIAR to safety.
