A1-AUH battle report

Just quickly to begin with, a Zenith Affinity and KIA attack squad came into the BY-MSY constellation looking for a fight, which they got. We got a defence fleet together, with me in a Taranis, and managed to bait them into attacking a Dominix on a gate. The fleet then jumped them and cynoed in a carrier (overkill I know). I managed to tackle a Vexor, a Crow and then an Arazu, though the Arazu forced me to warp off when he deployed his drones on me. Final kills were an Arazu, Vexor, Rook, Crow, Drake. Can’t remember all of our loses, but I know we had a Falcon and something else.

 

Duals

Now for the important part of today. When I logged on Hawkeye (my CEO) was looking for some to dual in his Crusader. So I brought out my Taranis and asked him to bring it on. However, before I could even meet up with him a neutral poped up in BY-MSY flying an Executioner, which went pop when I caught him on a gate.

Hawkeye and I then set the rules for our dual, which were stop at structure and warp in at 30km. The battle was to take place in asteroid belt were the rest of our corp was mining (they needed some entertainment).

So we squared off, my MWD was running hot and my guns were loaded and ready to fire. The flag was waved and I burned straight towards him, the distance between our ships was reduced to nothing in a matter of seconds. I managed to lock him first, with my scrambler knocking out his warp drive, though, with surprise I noticed that mine was still working fine. My blasters quickly reduced his shields to nothing, with mine following shortly behind his. The armour was a little tougher but it melted under my sustained DPS with my drones adding in that little extra damage. My ship had being taken close to structure, but it had pulled through. I had won this fight; just.

After this we had another three fights using various fits. However, I managed to win every time, which we attributed to my use of a damage control, reducing the damage he was doing and my drones doing constant damage even when my blasters were missing him.

The next dual was against Hansgrit in a Vengeance. The battle started with us closing into range of each other, after which my blaster made short work of shields. My shields though were staying strong as my speed was faster enough to avoid the majority of the damage being applied to me. Then I ran into trouble. Hansgrit was able to repair all the damage I was dealing out (and he was only using one rep) while my cap was starting to run out. As soon as it did my MWD went off and his rockets began to tear my shields and then my armour apart. Victory went to Hansgrit in his Vengeance.

  1. Manasi Said,

    Good news on the duel’s..Taranis is a mean lil ship I’ll give you that for sure. If the vengeance could have kept you outside 10KM…perhaps things would have worked out better? Sadly I do not fly the vengeance…yet.
