AAR: The Dedication of Content Creators - Part 1

Every group in Eve Online has that one group of people that always are out looking for some form of content, usually in the form of PvP. For Protean Concept, we make it our little game to reward such people with tags on our Teamspeak.

All of our Teamspeak Tags to-date

Of course you can always sing for a tag if you wish, but sadly that rarely happens. For the majority of people, they earn their tags through a variety of means: training, a special event, or having a cat or dog make noise in the background. For the Content Creator tag you have to be either 1) dedicated to constantly scouting or 2) get a spectacular kill after hours of waiting for something to happen.

And that brings us to the first fight. Recently in the Hyperion expansion, CCP decided to introduce Frigate and Destroyer only wormholes, only allowing them (or Heavy Interdictors with bubble up) to jump. Well, Pyo from TFP was poking around when everyone else was debating of rolling or making ISK in the static, but he is out there scanning in even an unlikely place: a C5 through a Frigate Hole. What he finds definitely peaks our interest though: four Dominixes rolling connections.

Despite the Frigate Hole being a slight nuisance, we grab as many Frigates and Destroyers as possible, and burn. A short while latter, three out of four are dead, with one escaping to cloak in the null that they were currently rolling.

Its a good find, and if Pyo keeps it up he may yet get a tag.

Latter on that day was something much more interesting and instantly earned Illaister his Content Creator tag. So earlier on that day (or maybe the night before, I am not sure as I was not online at the time) Illaister had found some POCOs that were reinforced in a C3 and due to come out in the evening. So he puts a scouting alt in, logs it off, and waits.

Around one o'clock Eve Time shit goes from quiet to explosive: the bashers are using a Moros to kill POCOs, in a C3. We form up as best we can and move the 15 jumps over from our exit to their entrance. A slight hiccup occurs though when I forget I am at -2.5 security status and I nearly loose my Bhaalgorn to Faction Police. I trade ships with Illaister to get the Bhaalgorn to the target system, and then we sit back and wait, as they appeared to have been spooked by probes in their system that appeared not to be theirs.

After a little waiting, they bring the Moros back out again. Despite the fact that their was a Broadsword on the high sec connection, it was not hard to land tackle on a stuck in place Dreadnought due to Siege. So that is one dead Moros, as well as a Scorpion and a Hyperion.

I like the new wrecks CCP added.

We wait a bit for a hauler to come collect the capital guns and repairer, the guns get out safely, but as he comes back for the repairer, the previous Moros pilot comes back in a bomber and pops our hauler. At the cost of said bomber and pod, of course. Good try though.

And so that is the story of how Illaister earned his Content Creator tag, being dedicated enough to keep an eye on that system nearly all day, just to get a few battleship kills as was expected, but instead getting a Moros kill. Well earned.

Tomorrow gets the return of an old favorite, this time a member from TSED, known for his relentless hunting of Marauders back when TSED lived in a C5 with C4 static.
