So the cruiser refit .. i love my cruiser, i think i will take this opportunity to tell you that, the cruiser is by far my favorite class. It has no form or function to be honest, anything it can do, the battle cruiser can do better , or a frigate can do better, or a hac or a hic, or any number of options..and the cruiser is a sadly left behind fleet option. however that doesn't deter me from my mad quest to get kills in my OMEN. so the OMEN and CARACAL head off to the Roniko Gauntlet just looking for an easy bestower kill or 5, heavy mission running region of low sec. and we sat at our favorite gate.. for a while, eyes on the other side.
Republic fleet firetail.. doesnt stand a chance i say, we lock.. too long he's gone... fine.
Cyno open ... wtf, i move eyes into system, and warp to the cyno, my compliments to the cyno launch, looks like a near perfect launch outside of a POS shield... i suspected so anyway, but i wanted to mention how awsome it is to have a perfect launch, practicallly dropped the ANSHAR inside the shields, took it like 8 seconds to get in ... thats aswome... ! anyway.
Eyes move back into the next system and here come the RFF pilot but in a Cyclone.. he sits at 0 on the gate and locks us both... I take a deep breath and engage. the omen and caracal start in on the shield, drones go out, and he is dropping sloooooow... but we are both heavily tanked and we are dropping slower, he looses his drones and i lock them up, assigning my warrior II's to pop his.
his take breaks, and he starts going down fast, dual medium neuts ftw! i survey the ley of the land, he has a point on me , but his cap is dropping fast.. his shields are crumbling, and his drones are dying..
suddenly ... a few seconds later, i look and his tank ... is back, nearly full again? im out of orbit, and my neuts had powered off, and now he was neuting me, turning off my mods... wth? how did i get out of range... not a rhetorical question im really not sure, but i am, and now im dropping fast, and he isnt, i move back into range and turn on a neut, hoping to break his point.. no such luck though, i pop and warp my pod out.. wth?
I drop him a GF in local but i spent the rest of the night cursing amarr ships, and wondering hth i got out of range ... Combat awareness is THE deciding factor in every single loss mail i have earned myself... This is my weakness, this is what i must make better, i took a simple EASY kill and turned it into an ALARMING loss. This is unacceptable... Every loss has taught me something.. that is the most important thing, but damn I'm sick of losing ships for no reason.
