Even better??? First Strategic Cruiser Death!

So 2 days after the Golem kill I was working from home and decided to park myself inside a Class 3 WH while I worked. Not too far into the day I hear that beautiful sound of the WH firing.

As my buddy Anjelle says, it's kinda like the StarCraft trooper taking the StimPack..."Ah... that's the stuff"...

Interest picks up... heart rate quickens... what's coming into my web?

Loki!

Tengu!!!

Raven....

Hmmm.. very interesting!

So... I let them warp off the WH cause past mistakes have taught me that tackling ships on a WH is pretty hard to do.

They head in the direction of a planet and I follow to use the ship scanner. 3 cosmic anomalies on scan... it's a simple matter to use the map to figure out which one they're in.

I warp in at 20km and see the Tengu and Raven sitting right on top of each other and the Loki flying around shooting.... missiles?? mmmm... interesting!

Time passes... 10-15 minutes later they are down to just a single sleeper cruiser and it's time to make my move.

I've been trying to slowly close on the Tengu as I figure he's probably the juiciest fit... but he Afterburners out of range right as they get down to just one sleeper right as the Loki comes to me.

Moment of truth...

Decloak, tackle... close... blasters hot!

Genepool completes his warp in right as the oh to predictable carebear instincts kick in for his friends and they both warp...

"Damn! I wanted to tackle the Tengu also"

The Loki is tanking well until the neuts hit at which point he decides he should switch his DPS from my proteus to my Maelstrom...

It's just as well.. the truth is that without his friends he doesn't have a prayer of breaking either tank...

At this point the Raven warps back in and I wonder if they've decided to protect their friend... but what's this? The Raven is at 100km? Wasn't he torp fit?

Yes... he's either forgetful or just an idiot.. (or wanted to be able to say "Don't worry bud.. I'll save you" on Vent without risking his ship)

At this point the loki is hitting structure and I'm closing to scoop loot.

Ah yes... I think I like this hunting in WH's thing!

The only thing that would make it better is more people to help with the scanning and killing!

1.5 billion isk in the last couple weeks is pretty good profit and what better condition to acquire it than still damp with the tears of carebears?

HOW is recruiting! Contact GenePool Chlorinator in game if you're interested!
