Wow strange weekend!

I guess when it rains it pours...

We had a nice time out on the town yogita and i, and i looked forward to some action in eve. Instead most of the pings were for move ops. Since we are well settled now even our archon's are safe now we had nothing to do.

Basically it was a sleepy weekend for me I could barely keep my eyes open. It was on Sunday or perhaps late Saturday that tragadey struck. A large number of supers (blue supers) were tackled and destroyed. Oh yeah...capitals and super capitals can take gates. With the new changes you stack up time before you can jump again. In the past it was just, jump, dock, undock, jump. Also jump ranges have been reduced so it would take ages move carriers via cynos. With max jump drive calibration you only get 5light years. I think it was like 14-15 light years before.

So as I was falling asleep there were many pings for people to help out tackled blue super capitals. I slept....

Then I woke up some hours later and a few details from chatting with people who were there came to light. The super fleet had one of our ubiquitous harpy fleets escorting it. MY GOODNESS we need to stop replying so much on this ship composition. So instead of battleships with loads of t2 logi ships, they had little harpies who could not free the tackled the supers, oh and logi? t1 cruisers, or t1 frigate shield logi....


So it was bound to happen harpies are not the end all solution. I sucks that we the imperium are so risk adverse even though we have some of the richest ratting grounds in terms of anomalies.

I have been in so many harpy fleets where we simply could not kill 75% of the targets because our weapons were too puny!
