To make the first real post of the blog I am going to talk about a fight we had about three weeks ago with Probe Patrol.
Was a pretty dull day so far, Raar and Bruh'n are fooling around down the chain trying to catch a hauler coming back from high sec by anchoring a bubble on their POS. I'm sitting in the forcefield of our own POS while I was doing some EFTing when Benjamin speaks up and says we have a new signature in our home system. He grabs his scanning Loki and sets out to pin it down while Wedge pulls his miners out of the ore site he was in.
I said it was probably a Null Sec or a C5, turned out it was an inbound K162 C5. Knowing someone had probably just recently opened it into us there was a high chance of people on the other side or nearby. Bruh'n and Raar start making their way back from their POS camping activities while Ben jumps in to start scouting.
He is immediately greeted by several frigates, a Sabre, and an Absolution. Forced to jump back he is polarized in our home system but he is tackled again and stuck with no where to run. Getting a quick bearing on what they had I grab a Navy Augoror and warp to him, landing approximately 20km off of him due to the Sabre's bubble. Quickly noticing they were attempting to killwhore their Covert Ops scouts on the kill I quickly blapped one. Shortly afterwords Ben went down, and the Sabre had burned out to me and bubbled me. At this point Raar, Bruh'n, and Wedge were getting ready to reship and get to me to help. Fortunately, with my nearly 130k EHP on my ship I was able to live long enough for them to arrive, as well as kill the squishy Sabre as well as his pod of 177 million thanks to his own bubble keeping him trapped. Finally the rest of our gang arrives and we pop the Ishkur while the rest of their forces jump back excluding the Absolution, who stays to fight a bit more.
At this point I warp off and refit to a neut Legion and Wedge jumps inside to take a look of possible reinforcements and to escape damage. On the other side was an Archon, waiting to provide repairs. At this point the Absolution jumps back, receives repairs from the Archon, and then, he jumps back to our side, so he is polarized. Just in time for Shaded to come online to help kill it.
At this point we are baffled, but presently surprised, although at the same time wary of the Archon and that it may jump through. Sure enough it does, but it does so too late for his Absolution corpmate. At this point we had no hope to break the Archon with our current numbers, so I make the call to pull out, losing a few ships in the process.
At this point good fights are exchanged in local, a few debates if there will be more pew and Probe Patrol pulled out. It was a fun fight and it was nice to go at them, it was just a shame we didn't have the EU Time Zone to help us kill a carrier. Good fight to Probe Patrol and thanks for not blobbing.
