This is my first Battlecruiser I ever flown in solo pvp for this blog. I haven't planned on taking this one, but I was streaming and someone said he wanted to see something with drones. Warping with it wasn't fun, but more of that later:
The Fitting
So I tried something new: Armor Buffer and lots of tackle!
So the moment tackle gets applied, things will die. Thanks to the big dronebay you can have a very flexible loadout. Here is what I took with me:
3 Ogres
5 Hammerheads
5 Hoboblins
5 Warriors
5 Vespa EC-600
For max DPS i would have dropped 2 ogres, 2 hammerheads and 1 hobgoblin. The rest is there for whatever I need them.
So what is this promised land?
As I said before I was streaming while this whole battle happend. I first died in a Maller in Geminate, just to reship and get back on the way I wanted to go: alle the way to Catch/Curse/Provi. If you look at the situation its a real paradise (or promised land) for all sizes of PvP. With Hero, Provi beeing there a lot of other enteties get drawn to the scene and this also results in lots of small gangs going through the region.
Most of the roaming was just warping from Gate to Gate and man: Those Battlecruisers really suck in that point. Warps over 100 AU are long enough for you to take a relaxed bio break and strive for worlddomination in real life.
So hours later I finally arrived in the destinated area, just to see, that nothing is going on in Curse. Looking at the map there were a few kills and people in space in one pipe. I checked the killboard to see, that there was a small frigate/destroyer gang: Perfect for me.
So I arrived at the destination to find a little camp. They were all just there for me. I went for the Interdictor first. He popped rather fast:
Next one was a Crow which came into my Range. With a scram and two webs on him he wasn't able to escape the drones:
I went for another crow, but he was able to escape my scram and I missed dropping another drone after one was destroyed. So I went down in a fire:
Looking at it ISKwise, I won. Fun wise: I definitly won, with them loose two ships to a single one. So here is the recording from the stream (yes, thats me there^^)
So this is one more ship done:
Time to get on writing for the other ships I have kiled so far.
If you enjoy this blog and want to see me use a specific ship, just leave a comment.
Very nice fight. That looked like a good situation in which to jump back. 3 of them had aggressed and they definitely would have sent other elements of the gang through so you would have very likely been able to split them. (Although I can understand bagging the things on grid). It may also have been possible to deaggress after bagging the sabre.
ReplyDeleteNext I'm wondering about active reps. Solo seems absolutely made for active reps. You had a lot of unused cap, the Prophecy like most Amarr boats has a lot of cap.
