Posted by: Havohej : Category: ¶ When it rains, it pours and this week it seems to be raining supercaps.
¶ Posts appeared on CAOD this morning regarding a Tau Ceti Federation titan being destroyed. Shortly thereafter, Evil Thug, executor of Against ALL Authorities, submitted a battle report which has been confirmed by TCF’s own killboard.
¶ With the help of former BoB pilot Jake Noble, now a member of Rage and Terror corporation with .-A-., Against ALL Authorities coordinated with G00DFELLAS to bait and trap the TCF Avatar piloted by Brennan Mulwray of A.L.E.X.I.S corporation in LJ-YSW.
¶ According to Evil Thug’s battlereport, this op had been months in planning to ensure that it was carried out perfectly. Thug relates that .-A-. had tried previously to bait out the titan, but that their fleet and their reputation gave TCF’s forces pause. Tau Ceti Federation, which is notorious for hot-dropping supercaps on small roaming gangs (which G00DFELLAS specializes in!) was unwilling to drop a titan on a seemingly small but HIC-heavy gang.
¶ Judging from the scant bit of information available to me, it looks as though GODS sent a normal-sized roaming gang and harassed TCF long enough for them to get annoyed. People who make a habit of hot-dropping capital ships (let alone supercaps) naturally come into the mindset of “lol you’re all noobs, I pwn you with my uber capital ships!” For a titan pilot, this rush of power must be all the more intense. Most roaming gangs today are nano gangs - these ships don’t take much damage to kill, so one detonation of a Doomsday Device by a titan can eliminate an entire roaming gang. This makes the titan pilot with a penchant for hot-drops say, “I pwn your whole fleet with just one button!!!!!!1!”
¶ Behold the price of hubris:
¶ Interesting to note is that Brennan Mulwray’s Avatar was not listed on Fitz VonHeise’s list of known titans.
-Havo out.
