War is on!

We have deployed to pureblind. This time it was to clear out some alliance that was a "threat" to our allies. Actually I think it was just meant to stir up the hornets nest and have some good fights.
Well last month Yogita and basically took ages to actually deploy and when we did we had a nice fight in a ferox fleet racking up about 19 billion isk in kills.

That was november. We then headed back to branch and focused on preparations for the next major patch. I want us to have a nice set up with mining, ratting, and back up capital ships. Perhaps even building 2 super carriers. So this means loads of ratting, looting, the basic grind.

Well now we are in a new month and we need to support our corp. That means spending time on the front lines. We stayed up way too late so Yogi was knocked out. I had a bit of insomnia. I am so glad I did! This happened!

We ripped apart a black rise low sec faction battleship fleet. The same basic set up that defeated 3 of our allied fleets. The setup was very impressive, 800mm auto cannon macherials, which can project damage quite far for auto cannons. At one point 2 hurricanes (battlecruisers) literally just vanished under a hail of fire from their fleet as we were jumping out of system to reposition ourselves.
I was a bit nervous. Seeing that firepower I realized this would be a very short fight.
So what happened? Well the fc call a macherial primary. I understood the choice their logistics ships where not fully set up so killing a couple of battleships can happen at that stage of the fight. Well next he calls a triage carrier primary. I was not so sure about this choice because carriers in triage don't die quickly. And this thanatos class carrier was hanging in there even though we were breaking him. We lost a 1 or ships in our fleet by the time the carrier was blown apart. Next a series of battleships were called primary and our smaller 720mm cannons blew them away!!! You see with out the carriers massive repairs they simply melted. The logistics ships they brought along where few in number due to the presence of the triage carrier which is a force multiplier. So with the carrier down, those battleships simply melted. We had ewar assistance from a Jackdaw fleet which help with pointing and holding down the enemy fleet. I bagged a Nestor class battleship!

So for the second time.....it pays to stay up!!!
