The Captains Log

The Capatins Log 24/8

 

Capital Destruction

So after I logged off the day began to go badly for Sys-k. Goonswarm got a couple of cyno alts into J-A and proceeded hotdropped 40 capital ships on top of our fleet. Reading COAD (horrible I know) it seems that Goonswarm and Brick are not allied (or they weren’t at the time of the hotdrop); instead Goons saw an opportunity to take out our caps and took it. The result was around a 20 capital ship loss for Sys-k. There is a Frap available here to watch (if it does not work it is at the bottom of page 5 on the COAD link above). You would think that our members would be disheartened from such a heavy loss, but we weren’t and we came back the next day and repaid this loss many times over.

 

Titan take down

About 12 hours latter (or there about) we began setting up in 6QBH for another op into enemy space to help a friendly POS, when it was noticed that two Burn Eden titan pilots logged on. For all we knew they could have logged on to do some ratting, but they didn’t, instead they cynoed into 6QBH and proceeded to double doomday our fleet. In amongst this field of destructive energy my CEO, Hawkeye (his alt anyway) flying his Onyx not only survived both doomsdays but also got a tackle on one of the titans piloted by Syrian. He then had to survive and hold the tackle for one minute before the rest of our fleet was able to get to the battlefield and beging taking the titan down.

 

In an effort to save their allies titan, Brick Squad also cynoed in their capital fleet only to have it tackled. The result was the destruction of Burn Eden’s Titan and the Brick Capital fleet. The second Titan managed to escape. The final battle report is (thanks to Manasi)

Brick/BE:  lost 1 Titan, 11 Dreads, 10 Carriers, 4 BS, 2 recons, 2 interceptors, 1 dictor, and a few others…( total of 43)

The combined allied fleet lost:

4 dreads, 2 BS,1 BC, 1 Stealth bomber, 1 Heavy Assault, 1 Dictor ( a total of 14)

As with any great battle there is much discussion on the forums so go to COAD and Manasi’s blog for other perspectives. Also there is a YouTube video of the take down as well.

Now that I have recounted what happened I have to say I MISSED IT. I got up one hour too late to find out we had killed a titan without me being there. I am very unhappy.
