So after a few dead chains we finally strike a good one with a high exit two jumps from Jita in our static. While people load their fat haulers back and forth we have others out and about looking for a brawl with someone. We think we find that as well in a C5 down 4 jumps from our home, owned by Ocularis Inferno. After a little sniffing around and them sniffing back, we end up with two Guardians plus DPS (mostly in the form of our Rail Proteus). We push forward with just four guys at first: me in a blaster Proteus, Tard in a Navy Brutix, Andoi in a Navy Harbinger, and Doonka in a Navy Cane. We keep the main fleet two back from Inferno's home.
At the time we were moving out, they had a Loki sitting on the hole with some interceptors. We land, Loki jumps back into his home, we follow. We are able to nab tackle on the Loki and start chewing through its armor, but as we are doing that, an Inferno Sabre thinks its a good idea to bubble the hole, sealing his own fate, and the Loki's. Plus both their pods. We also snag a Crusader somehow.
We squat for a minute or two, until two Stratios come back from where we came and try to fight our little four man hit squad. A neut Legion also lands and to try to help, but they all eventually disengage, with the Stratios warping off home and the Legion jumping through the wormhole and cloaking to escape. With one of us heavily damaged, and the possibility of a Falcon coming, I exchange Andoi for Shiftn in a Rail Proteus. While that happens the Legion jumps back into his home and escapes back to his POS.
We squat, once again, for a minute or two then they come at us head on with double Guardian and triple Legion with some misc DPS as well. We meet them head on as well, and flatten them, with two killed Guardians and two killed Legions. We did; however, outnumber them by a fair margin, so you wouldn't necessarily call it a 'fair fight' but it was still a good fight.
After the fight, we strike up a small conversation with their diplo/FC Vertnormalia and he asks if we want to do a joint op out of their back door null sec into Goonswarm space. We decline for now, but state if they do find something interesting, we can come.
They stir up trouble maybe an hour after the fight we got with them, and we come with the best kitchen sink fleet we could muster: Interdictors, HACs, Interceptors, Assault Frigates, Faction Cruisers, an Armageddon, everything we could. Turned out in the end to be mildly dull though, with the only kill being a Daredevil. The rest of the time was us trying to get good warp-ins on top of their sniping Eagles at 100-200km from the hole, which we quickly turned tired of.
Thankfully, Goons know how to spice things up, so they start ratting with an Archon. Now, we know its bait, there is no way it is not. We are one jump from VFK and there is no way the Archon pilot has not seen us shitting up local. So we know it is bait, but we still want to shoot it. So whats a cost effective way to shoot a Carrier and maybe kill it if it really wasn't bait?
BOMBERS OF COURSE!
And that sums up that night and op very well, us kicking someone's ass then teaming up with them to do stupid shit in null with no grudges. Good fun.
