War Has Come

The Captains Log 21/10

 

A few days ago a Sys-k fleet headed into the old KIA alliance space and proceeded to capture a station that had being left undefended. Naturally GoonSwarm didn’t like this and decided to bring out their capital fleet and hot drop the Sys-k fleet (they also had the threat of Titans behind them). Some good FCing on our part though, got our fleet out of KIA space without any heavy losses. Of course we did not expect to be able to hold station, but it was a bit of fun.

GoonSwarm though has decided to escalate things and has proceeded to invade our space along with Zenith Affinity. So the time for war has come. Many people thought that no major battles would be fought until after dominion but this action as turned that assumption on its head. So things are going to be heating up in Esoteria with GoonSwarm no doubt calling in their allies while Sys-k is definitely going to be bring in theirs, some of which have already arrived.

 

Personally, I like the idea of war. If only it didn’t clash with real life; at the moment I’m coming into the exam period at uni. Additionally, the ship I am currently flying is a ratting Raven and I have a Goon fleet between me and my PvP ships, so I am going to have get my Raven out and then get my Pod to my PvP ships somehow. Now if only I had the ISK I needed to fit my Phoenix, which will be needed soon.

War with Stain Empire

The Captains Log 29/7

 

So I Iog on today do some missions while I am stuck in empire and go into voice comms only to hear this

“Morning Prom, got some bad news for you. Stain Empire has gotten Stainwagen to drop standings with us, we are now at war with them.”

We do not know the exact reason for this yet, but apparently it is due to us not paying rent (which we have been doing and the next batch was not due for a few days). Well this means we get some good PvP nice and close to home : ) The up side of this is that our alliance has had a surge in participation, vent is full and moral is good.

 

So I clone jump (naked clone no implants) back down to 4GQ and fly my pod down 0-0 and get my Taranis all fitted up and ready to fight. We have Stainless contacts further up in the pipe in a Armageddon and a Raven. The fleet move up to the systems to and quickly takes them both out. As they didn’t try to get away from us I presume that Stainless hasn’t reset their standings yet. Ah well we didn’t start this.

 

The future may look a little dark but this is what we live for. Free rent and lots of PvP.
