The Captains Log 25/11
System: Empire Space
Ship: Armegddon Class Battleship
CONCORD Preservation and Recovery has had its first blood letting. After scouting a series of systems for potential targets we came across a few that matched our prerequisites. We even manged to pick up some recruits, Siona Aterus (a reader of my blog), Ariel Luv (a I.M.M alt) and Cire Xinehp, who we recruited from the forums.
The first target was a small onlined Caldari Control Tower that contained three labs owned by Crimson Mining Faction. While we wouldn’t normally try for a onlined POS we wanted to give it ago to see how it would work out. As it turned out it was quite easy. The owner of the tower proceeded to pull it down as soon as we put in the war dec and abuse Daquaris in local the whole time. According to him we were not going to get the statisfaction of taking his POS or his labs. Unfortunately for him he left the tower while it was being unanchored and Daquaris took it. That was very satisfying, though we would have preferred the labs.

*scoops tower*

The next target was a large POS owned by The Eternal Knights, which had some 30 faction modules anchored around it offering a nice potential payout. As it turns out though the owner was active and onlined the POS, which had a DeathStar setup. I guess some people don’t like to share their labs around. Once I saw this I tried to bluff them into paying us a ransom, but he called the bluff so we retracted the war dec. We had no desire to try and take out a DeathStar.

The third target was much better. It was a medium Dread Guristas POS that was offlined owned by MASS HOMICIDE. This POS had 6 labs anchored around along with the usual assortment of guns and EWAR. It took a little bit to
take down this POS but we got their netting us nice billion isk payout. Think ill use my share to by a carrier skillbook.
Target four was a small offlined Caldari Control Tower owned by Savage Enterprises had a single lab on it. This
POS fell to our combined might very quickly, and was a massive imporvement compared to our first try at taking out a small POS (single BS and two destroyers).
Target 5 was a medium Dark Blood POS owned by The Sobani. This one contained a number of Dark Blood Medium Pulse Batteries that offered us a nice payout. It was a little harder to kill, but die it did.
After this POS we moved onto our mercenary contract (post coming soon)
