I had a couple of Blackbirds to loose so we drew up a small T1 Cruiser gang today with my alt in 0.0.

I had a Blackbird and was chosen to FC since it was me and another in fleet with working mics at first.

We started out getting nothing. Then we went over to Period Basis and started looking for a fight. After a while, a torpedo fitted Raven engaged our scout on a gate and we pounced. The raven went down pretty fast and we had drawn first blood!

Later, our scout reported a hostile Nomad on station besides a Harpy. Our scout got aggro from the Harpy and pointed the Nomad and in we went.

The nomad docked up but we got the little Harpy, no losses yet. Fate was smiling!

We then got a report on a hostile bubble a couple of jumps out from our home system so we started picking our way back from Period Basis.

A lonely, sniper fit apoc with fighters assigned tried to take down an anchored bubble at a gate but he safed up right before our scout could get a good warpin.

Nothing much happened until we almost were in our own constellation, a rapier suddenly aggressed our scout and again, our T1 Cruiser gang took no prisoners! We were feeling AWESOME!

After this, our luck sort of ran out, we got word of gangs roaming and local spiked from 15 to 29. We docked up and took 15 min break. During this time, local spiked to about 50, talk about timing!

Undocking and heading back, our scout was tackled by yet another Rapier and again, our cruiser gang tore it apart.

After the last kill, we really wanted to get home, everyone felt that our luck was running out. Guess we were almost prophetic! This time we werent so lucky a bubbled gate, ten or so reds and I got the pod express back to home base.

Total tally for the op: 1 BS, 1 AF, 2 Recons killed and 1 Thorax, 1 Arbitrator, 1 Caracal and 1 Blackbird lost. A good day!

A couple of corpmates were going out and trying to stir the hornets nest a little.

They formed up in a recon gang and I joined in my blackbird. I still have 5 left to loose so I thought I’d try really hard this time.

But it seemed that the residents have learned who Lonestarr is, because every last one safed up or docked when we entered system.

Had a small comedy moment though, a Ishtar flew by us and we didn’t catch it so we jumped after it. We didnt get it and we were later talking to the pilot. He didnt get what it was all about since we were all blue to him, but we had in as a neutral.

It turned up that they were still blue to us since way back and the upper management had to deal with that.
