Drone Regions II

Minor engagements in R-6. Station services have been taken down repeatedly (they are being repped as I post this.)

Small, unmanned, unfueled, offline RK pos dead (lol scoot).

They let a carrier outside one of their Pos as bait. Obviously, we took it, but we had dictors at station waiting for the reinforcements. By the time ED/IRC killed them we had taken down the Thanatos with our bs/nano gang.

When our numbers dwindled we all switched to nanos and managed to get a few ganks and forced their considerably larger gang to dock.

Campaign still proving very enjoyable for our side.

T2 Fit > Officer Fit tbh.

If you get caught solo, you die.
If you are flying in a mom blob it wont matter much because t2 will do just fine
If you end up dieing while flying with other mom chances are slim some extra cap and slightly higher resistances are gonna help.

Dieing with a t2 fit allows you to buy another mom with the money you didnt spend on a full officer fit.

Note: Officer Smarties & Officer Scram are quite useful though

There is another forum section you can argue the pros and cons of various ship fittings so lets leave this thread for battle reports please. Tah

A pretty quiet day by recent standards, some small skirmishes in the early AM and later through out the day but nothing major. The attrition on ED assets continue as there R-6 cyno jammer was downed once again along with a litany of POS modules on multiple towers including jump bridges that choke there reinforcement lines from IRC space. In addition the IRC staging tower inside of R-6 finds itself encased in a cage of warp disruption bubbles forcing what was left of the IRC capitals in system to vacate the area before bubbles went online.

Today also saw ATLAS & ROADKILL anchor towers into R-6 in addition to the existing SMASH tower.

The initial battle overview appears to be 10 dreads, 5 carriers killed from IRC/ED & Co for 1 friendly dread loss - more details to come later.

Was a fantastic fight. This is my view from an RK carrier pilot.

Intel told us that IRC/ED forces would make an "Alamo" stand tonight and they formed their fleets starting around 2200 approx. Our fleet did same until both fleets were near 200. We held system and our support sans bs camped the 2G-VDP gate inside R-6KYM.

Earlier in the week we had incapped 2 bridges and their cyno jammer. While we waited for the fleets to form we re-inforced 2 of the bridge/jammer pos.

Intel showed about the same number capitals on each side from my recollection with a slight lead going to us (maybe 45 vs 40).

As the fight started they brought their support in through GTY-FW. We saw them enter GTY we sent our support and bs to that gate to catch them as their cynos went up and they undocked a few from the station. They were jumping in as our fleet landed.

I never saw any capitals at this gate even though I know there was a cyno lit near there which could have been at one of their POS. At any rate our bs and support engaged their sub-caps and the order came for all carriers to "warp to the gate."

After landing and loading grid from my perspective there were very few enemy ships there and the ones that were warped off soon as they could. We seemed to get very few kills there due to the module lag.

As the fight at gate began winding down our scouts called in carrier tackles at the station for guys that had undocked. We warped from the gate to the station and killed 2 enemy carriers and a few of their support caught in our bubbles.

Meanwhile the IRC/ED dread and carrier fleet had all cyno'd in to one of their POS. This point I think is where everything went to shit for them. For some reason instead of remaining outside the bubble there many of them slowboated inside the shields. Their fleet was essentially split from this time til the end of the fight while we were able to fight as a combined fleet.

We warped to our sling on their fleet 1/2 in and 1/2 outside the shields and went to work. Module lag was terrible for both sides. But after about 30 minutes we could tell that it was going to go very well for us.

Killboards will tell the ending. Our side claimed on the order of 10 dreads and 5 carrier kills while losing one Phoenix.

GF to IRC/ED.
