a murder of crows indeed
"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Step 1. Use cloaker to get warp in thats in alpha range of a group.

Step 2. Warp to cloaker at 10 or so.

Step 3. Lock up whats aligning to come get you with its mwd on.

Step 4. Alpha it.

Step 5. Warp off laughing in local.

Step 6. Die trying it a second time as Red Fed wised up.

Yes, I would miss the class to roam about in a crow :)

HUGE SUCCESS

(Closer to 40 kills between us, but my kills dont get included in the campaign at this point - they will when i upgrade on the 20th!)

93 actual kills from the entire night:

OSOM night!

Had to hurry to make this after the Agony class, which didnt have a roam but covered the really interesting aspect of fly-by fleets. I think both I and Rexorr got enthusiastic about this and will deffo try to make a fleet or two with this :)
I slammed together a fit and sped towards Bosena, which was the losec gathering point. Our first destination was M-M (GW), where our (now former, prolly) friends of the Republic Alliance live. Our first kills were near there actually, when we managed to catch a few battlecruisers and below in one system, and a Blackbird in the next - showing that intel in the region aint too good. After that our route swung north (and not south, which would've caused Wongnim a heart attack prolly, so might have been for the good all things considered) into Geminate where our scouts found a POS where some players were mucking about outside the shield. With our strength in numbers and agility, we braved the POS guns and got 8 or so kills of cruisers, battlecruisers and t2 cruisers. We lost a few ships there, incl Mang's, but the fight was a clear win!
While Mang was picking up a new ship we moved on, killed a few transport, another BC and a t2 frig, mucked about in a station for repairs of ships and bladders, and moved on, to our next fight in M-M (the Geminate M-M this time), where Mang had just rejoined us - right in time to get some killing blows on a few smartbombing battleships and kill a few more BC's. Funny enough, this was the same alliance (and a few of the same ppl) as the guys we raped at their POS. Apparently they didnt learn anything from their first encounter with us, especially because they brought smartbombs to kill longrange frigs  :D
Our last stand was in BWF where we met Bricksquad alliance with an annoying amount of Hound stealthbombers (that didnt do much damage but annoyance really) and quite some BC+ stuff. Our thinned out fleet (we started with ~70, but at that moment were with about 45) still managed to kill 17 of their ships before we buggered out. A lot (incl Mang and me) in our pods, but quite a few in their ships too.

All in all I had a crackin night!

Date poll for GN 26 is up:

http://www.scrapheap-challenge.com/viewtopic.php?t=39087

Theme is "Dongs"  So thorax hulls (Thorax, Deimos, Vigilant, Phobos etc) Interdictors (not hics) and scouts can probably get away with a less strict theming.

That was very much lulz on comms when that started, so much WTF going on because of it (given half the fleet rushed back from afk on hearing all this too).

Thorax and stabber hulls (for scrubs who don't fly gallente) only + dictors and scouts.

Close range shield fits. Blasters, ACs and Pulses.

Fuck rails.

Anyone who deviates from this will be kicked from fleet and primaried.

That's what we're gonna do. I've called it now. We shall charge down the throats of our enemies and they shall be choked by a thousand silver dongs spewing hot antimatter in their faces.

I guess thats what you get for continuing to kill npcs when neuts enter local instead of getting somewhere safe.  :D
My first ganknight and it was fun. Will be signing up for more in the future. Hopefully with some better overview settings and ships with longer range and faster locking. :)
