Edited by: Ugluuk on 12/10/2008 23:53:56 When i logged in today i knew at once that i was gonna get a good fight..
My guys were going after Invicta who dropped carriers on our battleship fleet yesterday..Revenge was in place and i ganged up..
FIGHT 1
Indregulle (0.2) Sunday 12th Oct 2008 21:34 - 21:39 6 Kills / 1 Loss 1,038,705,061 ISK / 215,420,015 ISK
Our BS fleet went towards their HQ space and instantly got camped in by a mixed Invicta/ABP gang.. After flying around in safespots for a while we chose to let them probe us out.. Once they got our location local filled up by 16-20 and we knew we were getting the fight we wanted..We had about the same number of battleships and the party started.. But when they didn`t pop the cyno as we expected we dropped our cyno and sent in the capitals we had available..
6 Dreads and 4 carriers..Just as a little payback for yesterday.. The fight was smooth from our point of view and results was 1 BS lost and 4BS, 2 CS killed.. 215mill loss and 1bill dmg..
We waited a few min to get dreads outta siege and jumped the caps home.. Then a few minutes later as our support was getting ready to leave they came back..
And the safespot in Indregulle was getting HOT!!
FIGHT 2
Indregulle (0.2) Sunday 12th Oct 2008 21:51 - 22:16 12 Kills / 15 Losses 8,331,432,399 ISK / 14,821,927,129 ISK + 1 Arma, 2 Falcons.
Total ships involved: BYDI 24 ENEMY: 41
They sent in a bunch of ships and also dropped the cyno..We had already lost 2 capital pilots to bed time and had 5 dreads and 2 carriers left..
We took a quick desicion on vent while undocking our capitals.. SHOULD WE DO THIS? They know our fleet..They wont drop on us without having enough to spank us.. And we already knew Invicta was napped with mostly all the corporations that has some sort of reputation down here..
Hell yes..Lets do it..CYNO CYNO we hear on vent..2 Thanatos.. We instantly popped our cyno and jumped in what we had..Worst case scenario we lost all and got 2 kills..
We land in the heart of the battle and instantly pop the cyno ship and molest their first Thanatos..When we start working on Thanatos number 2 a new cyno pops.. And omfg i heard on Vent..
Moros,Moros,Moros,Moros,Moros,Revelation,Revelation and several carriers all landing 40km+ from us with range fittings.. This looks bad man one of us said on vent..But it was as expected and the battle started..
Thanatos number 2 went down and they started by primary our Naglfar..We went for a Moros as new primary and the guys changed to lead.. Our nag dropped first and as we lost our second dread (Phoenix) they lost a Moros..
Local just kept filling up and we had in the meantime cynoed in another Phoenix that logged in and they cynoed in more aswell..
Suddenly we were 4 dreads 2 carriers vs 6 dreads,4 carriers, 1 mothership.. Their support also went up in numbers and 5 Falcons vs our 2 was bad..Really bad..
It wasn`t just BYDI vs Invicta/ABP amymore..They had called in Cry Havoc,Total Failure,The Athiest Syndicate and Deep Freeze Inc..
We never thought of leaving tho and kept on fighting between the jam free sessions..
In the next 8 minutes we lost our last 4 dreads and killed a Moros and an Archon.. After that with 9 capitals vs our 2 last carriers we got demolished pretty fast..
But god damn it was a fun and good fight and 100% free for smack.. We knew what we went up against, we knew what we were gonna get..And we took it like men and dealt some damage back aswell..
8 caps lost and 5 killed 8 support lost and 7 killed..
Good fight guys and i wanna thank my guys for being so careless to say yes to do this fight..Was one of the best fights i`ve had in a year..
Also wanna thank Invicta and ABP for bringing it..A pleasure to fight Old School people..
(i think the stats are correct but not long since the fight so let me know if it aint)

Yep fantastic fun....seems like the entire evening just vanished and here I am at 1am wondering were it all went. The was the first time I flew the Naglfar 'Gun Boat Democracy' and the last. But it was worth every single isk. Once that was down I enjoyed a fun dual on my falcon char against 3 or 4 other enemy falcons. Each of us jamming and counter jamming each other.

Forgetting to swap my "logistics" Moros to my "omg cap fight" Moros definitely didn't help me (or us) at all, lol. Honor Tanking 4TW!
Was a great fight though, everyone had great fun for sure. We may have been well outnumbered in support, outnumbered in caps, and 3x outnumbered in EW, but we hung in there strong and I am extremely proud of everyone of our guys who took part in this fight.
Big Thanks to Atomic Battle Penguins, Invicta, Cry Havoc alliance, Total Failure, The Athiest Syndicate and Deep Freeze Inc for bringing it this big just for little ole' us. We are flattered.
So are you guys available again tomorrow??

Aye, great fight gentlemen. Enjoyed it immensely, one of my best small-gang fights in EVE...perfect sized gangs, in a SS in lowsec...wonderful all around.
As the guy who probed you down...I hated warping in to your SS's just as you warped off, good work :P
As a BS pilot in the fight...you brought it to us hard, nicely done.
As a slave-setted cyno kessie (lulz)...you scared the shit out of me...damn taht navy vexor for popping my pod at P1!! ;)
As a capital pilot in the fight...intense, intense fight, best fight I've had in my carrier yet.
Look forward to more gentlemen o/

I enjoyed the last two days hugely. The capital fight tonight was unbelievable.
The story, from my perspective, is that last night I warped after one of you and chased him into Indregulle. Only to discover a large gate camp waiting for me.
So my astarte got roasted. Hah.. not the result I'd been looking for, but when you guys decided one was enough, and headed for home.. we decided some payback was in order.
A three carrier hotdrop in Deven scattered your battleships and claimed three of them.
Tonight. Well. Your fleet was back in Indregulle. One jump from our home base. We mobilised our capitals, expecting you to hotdrop us. Some very good advice from our ranks kept our hotdrop from happening until we'd had a look at your forces and we'd had a bit of a reorganise. Then you guys started jumping out at the end of your sieges.. so we dropped two carriers to convince you to come back and play. When you obliged, we jumped. For my part... I fully expected to be primary, I wasn't even locked. Lucky I suppose, hah.. the majority of the capitals that jumped into that battle were destroyed.
It was an excellent battle. Well done.

Figured I'd add my own battle report...
When I first got to Indregrulle, the hostiles had just warped off the Murethand (INVT's home system) gate, and were sitting in a SS. While we got our BS's arranged, INVCT were hanging out in Heydieles with their gang. We eventually got both of our gangs sitting on the Indregulle gate in Heydielles, with more than enough BS's to take out the BYDI gang (which at the beginnign of the engagement was 10 BS's plus a damnation).
We get intel warning us that it's a trap, and that BYDI were planning on hot-dropping us, as INVT had done the same to BYDI before and they were prepared and ready to counter-hot-drop. While this news is filtering around, and both INVT and us were getting our caps in order again, the BYDI BS gang began warping around crazily in Indregrulle.
I struggled to keep in their ss for long enough for the INVT damnation to get in and get a point on something, but they were warping around SS's very rapidly. Eventually, however, BYDI stopped warping around, and remained in one SS in the middle of the system. Presumably, the warping around between SS's served two purposes: 1.) making us think they were hesitant to engage, and 2.) gave them enough time to plan their strategy and get their capitals / cynos in order. Either way, once the INVT damnation got a point on a BS, the fight began.
We jumped in our combined BS fleet, warped to the SS, and began killing. This first part of the fight definitely did not go our way. The INVT damnation dropped as our fleet just began to arrive, and as Ricky was first in, he quickly got primaried and dropped. They popped two cynos and jumped in their capitals, and chaos ensued on comms as the dread/carrier numbers were debated and people got lagged, etc. The gang lost 2/3 BS's in this first skirmish, before we warped everything out. INVT retreated to Heyd, and our gang returned to OMS.
At this point, they were still sitting in the SS with their caps, and now that we knew the size and composition of their cap fleet, we prepared our own to re-engage. I checked on their hostile dreads: what guns did they have fitted: close or long range? The Moros/Rev/Nag all had close range guns fitted, so the FC made the call to fit our dreads for long range.
By the time our gang was in order, however, the hostile capitals had just cynoed out. The INVT FC made the decision to jump two carriers in as bait / to show we wanted to play. They jumped in to a falcon's cyno, and the two of them engaged the BYDI bs fleet while we waited for them to (hopefully) drop their capitals back in. A few moments later, they dropped all their dreads / carriers back in to the field.
Our first falcon cyno was popped, so I (bravely, of course) warped my slave-set suicide cyno kessie into the SS from OMS onto the hostile cyno at 50km, to give our dreads the range advantage. Our capitals jumped into N2, and the fight began.
We called a Naglfar primary, which in retrospect might have been a mistake because he was fitted purely for tank, not damage, but we couldn't have any idea of knowing that. It took forever to go down, while the first two bait carriers were killed by the hostile capitals.
The slugfest ensued, but once we took their phoenixes down (as they were doing the most damage to our capitals), the fight swung in our favor. The support battle was quite hectic, as the BYDI gang had a lot of falcons / BS's still on the field, and for a while we only had our capitals. Eventually, however, more of our support returned in from OMS / Heydieles, and that battle swung in our favor, just as we gained the advantage in the capital battle.
We cleaned up the remaining caps, although one hostile carrier did manage to warp out to a planet and cyno away to safety.
We held the field, got owned by Invicta's looting skills, and that, as they say, was that.

Man, I wish I was there... Now I'm mad I missed a very good fight. I suppose eating with family its the # 1 thing to do. Props to BYDI, Small Corp, lots of elite pilots your in for some hurting. With some P.O.W to back it up. Not many Corps are willing to go to the extent that BYDI did. Fight was lost but overall the game goes to BYDI for against odds and out numbered.

Edited by: Pyrofly on 13/10/2008 03:27:36 "also hellself - 2x CS down and he still brought ceptor/ishtar? "
It was a nanotar, which was my only thing i brought in that survived. That was a wild fight and I was loving it. I got to be the first guy in for the first engagement with the damnation giving everyone a warp in point. After that went down just as everyone got in I went and grabbed my astarte and everyone on vent was saying that the enemy cap fleet was leaving and if we are going to do this 2 bait carrier thing that somebody better get in there fast. So I ran into Indre, warped to the falcon and charged whatever I could then the cyno was lit. Altho tryin to run to accounts at once for this prolly wasnt my best idea. The first carrier in and also first dead: Reinerd Mau was me too. In the end I would say it was well worth losing 2 commands and a thanny for a fight like that around here. Zooming around after in my nanotar locking people down was pretty fun id say.
Props to everyone who brought it today. Id love to see engagements like that in low sec more often. and im not sure why this post was under my crap alts name...

Yup that was me. Altho clearwater (i think thats his name) got away because i accidently came back into rang of Ugluuk's 3 heavy neuts and for that split second b4 i clicked the cap booster he managed to warp and then jump. I was alot more cautious about my orbit after that

All the recaps sound about right. Engagement 1: Invicta "it's a tarp" Fleet: "lets send in battleships and see what happens when it triggers"
Engagement 2: once again I am secondary or tertiary.. not sure and lose my dread =/
Seriously people there are other people in perfectly good dreads, shoot theirs why is it always me?
Great fight would do again!!

Edited by: CLEARWATER on 13/10/2008 03:49:56 Thanks to all involved in this fight. We haven't had people that would fight us like that in a long time, so thanks for coming to the battlefield. I also want to give props to the BYDI guys for coming back to the battlefield even though we knew they wouldn't bait us with 2 thanatos unless they knew they enough caps to take us. We wanted a fight, and we definatly got one. I got out of there by the hair on my chin.

yeah props to bydi, we were slightly lucky imho that they blew their hotdrop load in the first engagement, if only 2-4 caps jumped in initially, we would have moved ours in, at which point we were carrier heavy and would have gotten spanked, so mix of a little bit of over-excitement from BYDI and luck from us.
As probably my last decent fight before i leave, like to thank you guys for making it a good one. Specifically kudos to your alt falcons who kept me jammed, very frustrating with the warp in, jam, warp out, before our support could get ontop of you
