Involved in an Empire war at the moment, but logged on late last night to find no war targets around.. not letting that discourage my desire to watch something explode i swapped out my interceptor for my Prophecy (gate gun tank) to go gank some poor sod in a low traffic low sec through way.
Traffic in the area mostly consists of a smattering of pirate corps, and Legion of xXDeathXx minor member corporations logistics. So it can occasionally yield some fun. Hanging on the gate with a Vexxor companion with his pile of drones (vexors last a while at the gates in low sec for all the drones they can spew forth and even if they don't they are cheap enough)
Hurricane jumps into system and arrives at our little gate camp at 0 on the gate... and holds. Hmmm I think, Nano fit Cane vs an all tank 103K effective Prophecy and cruiser ... drones or not, no thanks. I give the order to hold.
Cane locks me up, and holds... I smile to myself , Cane vs prophecy and vexor (nooo) cane vs prophecy and vexor AND gate guns.. hell ya! i wait patiently, and lock the cane.
Er1ck > cmon agro me
Diamond> nah, s'ok im good
Er1ck> 2*1? cmon, take the gate guns
Diamond> no.. im good thanks
The pilot then flew to a planet and announced his location "im at planet 1 cmon 2v1"
I responded Politely, "no we're ok"
The cane warps to 0 and jumps i thought, that was pleasant, i felt good about not fighting that fight, as there was no way to win. even if by some manner of fortune he was fail fit, he would have to be retarded to not get at least one of us, plus gates would kill drones and ... risk versus reward is what eve is all about right?
too risky.
Cane returns in seconds, i assume he checked to ensure we had no nearby friends. as he arrived he locked me up again. "so wut? you guys like mission running or something?" a fair question i thought, not insulted, normally a gate camp involves a gank right... normally. but i replied " no just not stupid, nano cane will take me, slowly maybe, but you will kill the cruiser, and me if i try and fight.
Well I guess he decided that there was a chance, and he red boxed, YAY!
knowing he was burning at me, i knocked on med neuts and blasted his cap into oblivion while Hit Nrun scrammed him up, shutting off his micro warp drive and throwing drones at him, i AB out to range and throw on a web to keep him back while i do, loading scorch and blasting away at his armor (shield was gone in second volley of gate guns) his drone cloud washed over my prophecy and then were mostly gone, he called them back with 2 remaining, gate guns instapop drones when they target them. Don't get me wrong, this guy knew his fits, he was chewing into my armor hard, and took me down to a quarter, before he realized that he wasn't going to take me, the incoming damage was too great, and switched to the vexor, hoping to take a kill home.. unfortunately for him , it was too little too late.
"nice dps, i like your cane"
