Being very bored, Boomer decided to look around some moons in his system and spotted an unarmed POS with 3 large mobile labs active, so we decked the corp, which unfortunately was only 3 man but suspected manufacturing corp of Atlas, and we planned a time for everyone to get together and take it down.
Before Downtime i logged on to check my ammo reserves and cap booster for "just in case" moments, when Kil announced she was shooting it early, so i loaded some regular EMP L into my 800mm repeaters and proceded to undock, knocking a few mining barges out of my way, their pilots keen to hide their frustration as they eyed up my 800mm repeating love makers =)
After about 40 minutes of shooting, the POS was in 2/3 shields and was budging slowly, however downtime was upon us so i anchored a large can with 20k of emp and 100 cap boosters so i can warp straight in the the gan after DT and land some love.
After downtime, and breakfast for that matter, i strolled down the the undocking bay to see my Cohorts prepping their ships for the seige, and noticed 2 of the newer recruits in our training corp, DiusZ and Devistator84 shining up their cruisers for the ops, which made me smile, as they listened to our advice and hadnt rushed into the biggest ship they could find, Instead they chose to buy skills and proceed to train them 1 by 1, with a desired battlecruiser in their minds, a Hurricane and Drake, the are intent on prefecting thier skills before they fly these beautys of creation.
Slentus, was busy dropping ammo and cap boosters around before hopping in his stealth bomber.
At 1:10pm eve time, we proceeded to warp to the POS and hug the shield, pounding on it with our gang, beneath the heavy sounds of cannon fire being thrown out from my autocannons and my gang mates lasers and torpedo batteries, we could hear the sounds of heavy missile launchers and light artillery cannons trying to get a foothold in this sound contest.
After around 30 minutes of shooting, and to our disappointment, the Tower prceeded into reinforced mode, where it would stay for 9 hours, so the time was set, and i hit the sack for some shuteye and payed a visit to my angel, whom ive sorely missed.
Once back on and Plugged into black heart, we proceeded to wait for the rest of the reinforcment timer to expire and we restarted the barrage, after around 20 minutes we had an armor bleed through and then things sped up as chunks of the tower were falling off and the unfortunate maintanence staff were sucked out and flash frozen, awaking in a nearby station with "chills" so to speak.
With some of our members from the previous hit unable to make it due to their sleeping habits or other factors, we worked slower than we would have oped but this POS would be destroyed for sure.
Within 20 minutes of the armor bleed, the Tower was listing to one side as its hull was penetrated, Now Amarr control towers have a knack for having 99% resists to all damage types on its hull, which would seem to slow us down, however it didnt, and it proceeded to be annihilated almost as fast as the armor, as the tower started to bend and fracture down the middle.
30 long minutes later we were rewarded by an amazing flash of light and then a huge explosion, which tore the once majectic tower apart. rocking our ships and spilling my Freshly poured Glass of Kriek onto the floor, which Wiggles, the ships dog quickly because intoxicated from.
With the tower gone we eyed up our origional target, the labs, which would sell for a pretty penny once they were "aquired", The unanchoring process began with haulers en route to pick them up, as i grabbed my own hauler and removed my can with over half of my ammo left in and all of my cap boosters, much to my surprise.
Once these labs were in Kills Hangar, with much surprise she announced that there was an estimated 6 to 10 billion isk worth of researched BPOs, a Tempest, Typhoon, Cyclone, Hurricane, Drake, Myrmidon, Thorax and Blackbird to name them.
All members of the Op received a Copy of a BPO of their choice, however, being able to fly all of the ships on offer fully t2, i havent made up my mind, any help?
A successfull op to say the least, with our recruits thoroughly enjoying it, and a good turn out from all parties, meaning that the bond between us is gorwing even stronger.
The day after i noticed a war target in local, and being only 2 hours of the war left i decided to Hop into Titch, my beloved Ishkur and have a scout, at first i warped to the POS location in a shuttle, to make sure Titch wasnt going to land in a trap, and the target was there, in a minmatar shuttle, so after grabbing titch and fitting him with a Sensor booster and long range warp disruptor i proceeded to warp to the location, and snag the shuttle before it could warp and afterwards the Pod, adding a new Corpse to my Collection.
After reveiwing the Kill concord had recorded for me, i found, to my dismay, that a 500mill Dominix BPO was destroyed in the Shuttle, which annoyed me slightly that i decided to mail the Ear of the corpse back to the origional owner, with a revse charged mail service for added value.
We have a new target planned, but thats for another time.
Stay tuned for more folks.
Fly safe, but not too safe.
