![]() ![]() That what what we had been assembled to do, to kill the Mom, which was the common short hand term for Mothership, which was what super carriers used to be called back… well… a while back. I have never done an incursion before, but I know all this slider and all these little symbols mean things.įor us, I was told, the important item was the little skull appended like a footnote to the end of the word “headquarters,” as that indicated that the final event for the incursion was ready to go. It took a little while to recover from that and get everybody settled and pointed in the right direction, but after a bit we did start the march to the back end of Venal and the incursion at the seeming crawling warp speed of 2 AU/sec, eventually arriving in the area. ![]() MOA got some of their own back on that one, though they got hosed by the loot fairy, as almost none of Clay’s faction modules dropped from the kill. We jumped back through to try and help him, but being 100km off the gate made him too close to warp to and too far to burn to, so it was buh-bye Tengu. He was dual boxing and while focused on one screen apparently failed to notice that MOA did a command destroyer snatch on his Tengu on the gate. ![]() Well made it to the out gate and jumped through when Clay called out that he’d been snatched. Then there was the call to get under way again, complicated by the fact that there was a MOA gang wandering around. Also, dual boxing has never been a good thing for me, as I have mentioned in the past. I considered throwing my alt into a Drake, but then realized I had stripped the one Drake I had left in YA0 and didn’t want to spend the time fitting it back up again. It was also a chance for people with shield doctrine ships to join in. When we arrived at YA0 we were given a five minute break to do whatever before setting out for the incursion. Instead I joined the trek to the first waypoint, warping along at battleship speeds. I could have jumped straight to YA0, where I have several Scimitars stored, and waited for everybody to arrive. Of course, one has to be careful one does not conflate “easy” with “quick.” If I had gotten on coms and listened for a bit, I would have heard that we were heading back to YA0-XJ first and then to the incursion from there. So why not? It was a call for the Maze Fleet doctrine, which is Rattlesnakes with Scimitars for logi, so I jumped from my high sec clone to the staging system where we were starting off, got in a Scimi, and joined the fleet. He turns MOA into kill mails fairly well. My experience with him has been good so far, having gone out on a couple of his short Harpy fleets to clear out local space. This particular ping was for a fleet under Clay Hakaari. Asher casually pinging for some people to go do something generally means he has a well thought out plan, and disappointment is rare. And joining a reinforcement fleet for a fight gives you about a 50% chance of sitting on a titan or staying docked up for 45 minutes before being given a participation link and being told that you are excused.Īnd who is running the fleet also often an indicator as to what to expect. For example, time has shown that multi-day hurfs to get max numbers for a guaranteed fight almost never results in a fight. On coms the other night somebody mentioned that there is clearly a skill in being able to read a jabber ping and being able to divine what it really means.
