AAR: The Dedication of Content Creators - Part 3

So a few weeks ago, we encountered a few Dreadnoughts that were killing Customs Offices in their home system. At the time, we figured we had just missed them due to bad luck and timing. Zeras didn't think so though. He thought they would continue bashing in a day or two to reinforce more POCOs (despite them already being set to 0% tax). And so he logs off a scouting alt in there and gets on early each day to scan the chain for entrances. It turns out its a good thing he did.

So a few days after we had our initial encounter with them, Zeras does his usual routine, scans early logs off, comes back several hours later. He comes back to a wonderful sight: a Revelation and a Moros reinforcing POCOs. We form up a bit, and burn over to the entrance system (me staying home thanks to my poor security status at the time being a hindrance). Three to four jumps out from the entrance though, both Dreadnoughts POS up and stop bashing. We get sad, but we hang around anyway just see if they may continue after a short break. After a little patience, we are rewarded with a Naglfar and two Archons plus a Loki logging in. With this comes one conclusion: they are about to run escalations.

Now standard procedure before starting sites is to close all current connections that your system has. This means that at best we would get a single capital kill, which would be fine for us, but seeing as they didn't close their connections before bashing POCOs means they are unlikely to close connections for sites as well. Indeed we are right, they warp to the site without even blinking at the connections.

I grab my alt in an Interceptor and burn to Jita to buy a ship, in this case a Jamgu, and meet up with the main fleet. Still unsure of our current composition though, we batphone Un.Bound, a group we had met earlier that day and tried to team up with against a bigger entity, but sadly nothing came of that since said entity all POSed and logged off. Now we invited them to join us this time, and this time content will be made.

It takes them nearly 20 minutes to get to the last escalation wave, but as the last Sleepless Guardian dies to their Dreads, we pounce. And so carnage ensues. It was a good day.

And thanks to Zeras for sticking it out for us and camping that hole and seeing that there was content to be generated. A well earned Content Creator tag on our TS.

GG, Good Gank.
