Nice chigger that sounds like a good change. I fought my second carrier last night. Fun time, killed a hac, bs and bc and lost my raven. But the raven had a veeeery cheap fit. Maybe worth 3mil total after hull and insurance costs.
Engagement goes like this:
We fly to RISE territory to [censored] some bitches up. Most of the group is drunk or high since apparently this is a SLOSH op. I am the only bs in the gang which i find out about halfway there (i'm too lazy to check and see what everyone else is flying). Supposedly there is someone on station who is aggressed so we jump the gate and warp our gang of about 30 there. He docks while we are in warp. Booo. We send scouts to belts and nearby stations.
We find a couple of bses on one next door. Warp to the gate, as we get there we hear they docked. Boo. Warp back to station and some people that popped out dock again. We make some safe spots and chill in them for 5 minutes with a scout on station to give them time to hopefully form some [censored] up so we can make with the pew pew. Then we hear the magical words: the carrier has undocked!
30 people insta warping to the station, orders are out to bump it, nothing else at station so it is primary gogogo. We get it bumped away from the undock point and it calls in for reinforcements. A few bses start landing on top of us, a hac and some bcs and frigates. First primary is the hac since most of our gang is cruisers and he can probably insta pop them.
It takes me a bit of time to swap since i still had cruises pouring into the carrier so i'm halfway down the damage list on the hac
. The next target is a dominix, yess. My kind of target. Turn on the cruise missiles and hit the secondary target with 3x sensor damps. Also got a point on him with my warp scram just in case no frigates locked him down. He lasts about 20 seconds. Midway through i become primary target for their side. A brutix, megathron, hurricane and caracal target me.
The mega was like 80km off with 425mm railgun II's, the brutix and caracal both had valkies on me, in addition to heavy missiles out of the caracal. The hurricane lit me up with 220mm vulcan autocannon II's. The hurricane was our next primary and goes down quickly, but that doesn't stem the flow of damage enough and my LAR can't keep up with the damage chewing into m armor. [censored]. I'm in structure at this point so i start clicking a gate to warp off too as soon as i'm in my pod. I lag out a bit as i die and come close to getting podded but make it out safely. A couple of inties, one more bs and about 10 fighters die after i do. Our side gets wiped out other than a caracal and one other cruiser. We wiped out something like 800mil worth of [censored] from them for total losses of maybe 250mil on our side. Half of that is from the raven hull i lost.
Overall a fun engagement and the first battleship i've lost in pvp (other than getting ganked by tyc recon [censored] at a gate once).
