Mercenary Coalition Titan Down

MC just lost their titan to the awesomeness of the Russian horde.  There goes another twenty thousand in real-world assets.  Since this is a forumporn day, and since the Mittani asked so politely for the word to be spreadunto the pubbies, here is the next installment.  This is the taste of dismay when your alliance is judged on always killing your enemies at a 20-to-1 cost efficiency ratio, and you suddenly realise that you'll have to kill battleships from now until until judgement day to make that one work.  They mined as an outfit for a looong time to make this thing, and it lasted only a few weeks.

MC already lost one supercapital in the war in Catch.  The steamroller seems to be having a spot of mechanical difficulty.

Two ships warped in about 12k off of me. Then a couple more. I got decloaked. Set off DD to pop bubbles and everything. STill got bumped and lagged. Never saw a friendly on grid. They never loaded.

I wish I could apologize, but I do not know how this happened.

If I had to guess I'd say they managed to scan you down after logging in before you cloaked.

At least we had the balls to use it.

---

Was it an old safe spot?

---

Fucking lag, ruins everything. My client has been lagged out for 25 minutes, i dont even know if im still alive.

---

No worries, we'll build another .

Can I ask no one posts on coad, that includes you Sel . Explanations no matter how straight forward and simple will be taken as excuses and just used as more ammunition against us. Ignore the eve-o forums completely as they celebrate and concentrate in game on making them regret it.

---

Sorry Sel

Possibly useless info >>>

Pilots who had Mic Muted at time of Thulsa downing = BNC >Ria Satori / EVOL > TWD / FINFL > Ann Ripley / FIX > Paladyn

BoB is waaaay too lax about this on their TS IMHO. It wont solve spies but at least lets not make it easy for them


Hugs Sel.

Loomi *_*

Must have been one hell of a scan. Hurts to lose it that way, but not much that can be done about it. Lag and the state of the game affects the expensive toys much more significantly than anything else.

Looks like we'll have to do the freighter ops in the traditional way again.

---

well this is gonna boost the moral of them like a MF =/

---

Don't apologize Sel, there was nothing you could've done and trying to think you could is pointless.

We'll build another

---

Sel theres no need to apologise to us or anyone else you didn't lose it to some silly act you had the balls to use it which means alot.

Plus looking at BOBs killboard RA/AAA may have killed our titan but so far lost 5 dreads and 3 carriers in the process now if we lose our titan but they lose their cap fleet for a few days killing those POS is gonna be alot easy so lets not get down lets go take FAT people!!!

---
I agree with Zak, its probably that you were scanned down last logoff, and they camped Thulsa logging in L

---

By the way, don't read COAD. I just made the mistake of looking, and nowI want to kill at least 2 dozen people from the EVE community.

---

Now let's GET FAT!!!!

From now on when we enter in a fight we'll scream: FOR THULSAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!


---

Looks like a scan before cloaking or on logoff, ET's comment about being more paranoid supports this so meh, move on.

We'll build another.

---

Fight still ongoing, it seems?

---

Meh, it's just a Titan" to quote bsspewers sig. Next one we get even more paranoid and have tens of safespots for it to warp to. My guess is they probed the SS out yesterday when you logged off. It happens, I'm sure no one blames you.

It wasn't like the Titan was the spearhead of our fleet anyway. It just made things a lot easier. We'll improve for next time.

----

is this the part when we show our anger buy building a duzin of them ? liek we did with the moms first we had one then every one whanted one

---

If that safespot was probed on logoff, it must have been by pilot with implants, full rigs and maxed skills that pressed Analyze EXACTLY as Sel logged off.......

---

Dunno last capital went down 25mins ago making it 5 dreads and 4 carriers at least not sure other than Thulsa if our side lost anything capital size.

Question is do we have the people to take these POS out and cause IAC to lose Sov in the next few days? If thats possible then Thulsa dying may have been unfortunate but least he didn't go down in vain

---

No worries Sel, we'll make another

Note on probes, I'm kicking myself for not mentioning this sooner, even the observators will catch a supercap at 0m deviation.

You basically have 30 seconds if you are a high priority target to cloak, no matter how far you are out. Always align in deep safes, just in case, that way you move off of where they think you are. Hindsight is always 20/20 of course, I don't think there was much you could have done short of starting a major fight at the safespot.

---

Maybe better to just make use of a POS like Natalie. I have to admit I am shocked, I did not see this coming

---

Yeah I've been logging in the POS rather then a safe since I managed to probe myself with an observer on a log in last week, and mines over 100 AUs out... Main downside is the enemy can take out the guns and bubble the tower while you are logged off, when you log in you're fucked...

CCP's pretty much nerfed super caps to the point of extreme vulnerability now :/ Still going to fly mine like a maniac probably tho, I don't think I could handle walking on eggshells..
