Knocking at the POS

The Captains Log 22/12

System: Ziona, Domain

Ship: Armageddon Class Battleship

 

CONCORD Preservation and Recovery has being steadily growing since we opened up recruitment (closed now by the way apart from exceptional circumstances) and we can now field a sizable fleet of Gank battleships and remote rep support. Unfortunately, though targets have being a little sparse due to potential targets either removing their POS or onlineing some heavy defences. We even war deced a sys-k alt corp, didn’t know it at the time buy hey what can you do.

This lack of targets led me to declaring war on three corps at once in the hope of being able to destroy some of their POS’s. Upon war decing one corporation, Medicean Rebellion, I had this nice little chat

Epimithius09 > Gday
Shi Hearthbreaker > good evening ^_^
Epimithius09 > how can i help you
Shi Hearthbreaker > you declared war to us ^_^
Shi Hearthbreaker > i would like to know the resons ^_^
Epimithius09 > we were hired. you up set our client and he just wants us to gank your ships
Shi Hearthbreaker > oh i see, any chance you can tell me the name of this proud boy? =)
Epimithius09 > Client confidentiality sorry
Shi Hearthbreaker > no problem ^_^ i understand that
Epimithius09 > thanks : )
Epimithius09 > nothing personal you see
Epimithius09 > we get payed no matter what even if we dont kill you.
Shi Hearthbreaker > oh no problema ^_^ you won’t have any target except me from tomorrow ^_^
Epimithius09 > well we get more if we do
Shi Hearthbreaker > i understand, how much he payed?
Epimithius09 > well you know if you sit in station and we sit out side it makes us look like we are doing somethign and we get paied
Epimithius09 > its al cool
Shi Hearthbreaker > yep yep i’ll be in station pretty all day for chatting ^_^
Epimithius09 > 100mill just for the war dec
Epimithius09 > extra if we kill you
Shi Hearthbreaker > wow he really hate us ^_^ it’s hard to figure who can be, we are just a mission running corp ^_^
Epimithius09 > aye some people can get really up set from small things, like nija salvgers for example. I knew on guy that got us to war dec a person just becasue the missioner started blowing up his own wreaks
Epimithius09 > not that i mind i get paied
Shi Hearthbreaker > the point is that we are the runners that get ninja sometimes ^_^ maybe is something i dunno ^_^
Epimithius09 > aye
Shi Hearthbreaker > anyway ths for the fair talk ^_^
Epimithius09 > np

 

Well it seemed that my little chat worked as he didn’t try online his POS guns or even try to take it down. To add a little credibility to the illusion we suicided ganked one of the corporations Mackinaws we found defacing an Ice asteroid. Someone has to stand up for the rights of Ice. Another target, Catastrophe Averted Research, unanchored their POS, though we were very close to stealing it for ourselves. Unfortunately, he got a friend to come in scoop the POS before we had a chance. Very unfair.

While waiting for the War Decs to go live we had a little fun doing some can flipping. I came in and scooped a can full of worthless ore that one of our members had found then came back in my Armageddon. The miners apparently didn’t like this as they came back in a snipping Apocalypse and a Blackbird. The Blackbird proceeded to tackle and jam me while the Apco sniped. Unfortunately for the Blackbird he failed at jamming and I popped him in two volleys. Without the support of the Blackbird the Apocalypse quickly left.

However, they weren’t about to leave things at that. They came back in an Executioner, Rifiter and a Drake. Sepono in his Ishkur killed the Rifiter before he managed to tackle me, the Executioner though tackled me and the Drake proceeded to tear through my armour. I had a bit of a problem now. The Executioner was speed tanking my guns while the Drake was too far out my optimal to hit him. I was starting to sweat as my armour began to disappear and my structure started to fall apart. Fortunately Sepono abandoned some his light drones next to me which allowed me to take them and then deploy them against the Executioner, killing it and allowing me to warp out in deep structure.

 

The next day the POS shoot up began in earnest. It was surprising at how fast a small POS will fall to seven Armageddon’s. A little hitch in our plans to take out this POS came in the form of a reinforcement time set for 1 day and 17 hours. So we moved onto two large POS owned by EHRSO which were offline and proceeded to reduce them to little more the sparkling dust floating on the solar wind. These POS’s didn’t have the greatest modules on them but they were better than nothing and we were saving the moons from ecological damage. After that I started a chat with Compleeter, the Catastrophe Averted Research CEO, and tried to get him to pay us a ransom for any future POS he put up. Unfortunately he didn’t pay up and preceded to online a medium POS with lots EWAR. That guy had better watch his back.

One day and 17 hours later we found ourselves once again outside of Shi’s POS. Shi had gone through and onlined the six laser turents he had at the POS. Thankfully we had some characters that can use remote rep Dominix’s enabling us to shrug off the damage it tried to inflict on our little fleet. After we had incapacitated the guns and the POS came out of reinforced we smashed it into lots of tiny pieces and looted all the juicy modules.

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.
 

[12:01:22] natey > lol u think u can scoop up a launched tower?

*scoops tower*

[12:05:36] natey > i hope these are all alts in that corp
 
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.
 

Intrepid Slayer > hi

Epimithius09 > gday

Intrepid Slayer > i am curious as to the war dec ?

Epimithius09 > did you read our corps discription?

Intrepid Slayer > yes, but it is no longer offline

Epimithius09 > well there you got now you know why we war deced you

Intrepid Slayer > and u actually plan to continue ?

Epimithius09 > damaging the moons is not good : )

Intrepid Slayer > hehe so i’ve read

Epimithius09 > well you know we will just use a interceptor to run you guns dry then incapacitate them and blow up the pos : )

Intrepid Slayer > except for fake that they will all be controlled …

Intrepid Slayer > fact

Intrepid Slayer > *

Epimithius09 > doesnt matter they will run out of ammo

Epimithius09 > very hard to hit a ceptor

Epimithius09 > with pos guns that is

Intrepid Slayer > lol and why would i bother shooting the ceptor

Epimithius09 > we wont bring our BS in till we they run out of ammo

Intrepid Slayer > gl to u anyway, you’ll need it …

Epimithius09 > luck has nothing to do with it
 
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).
 
  
The death of a POS

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)
