So I finally got around to making another battle report. The first fight had us showing up late - only to find the field already littered with capitals everywhere. It looked like a salvager’s dream, dreadnaughts scattered, and I honestly have no idea how so many of them died that quickly. If anybody knows the backstory there, please drop it in the comments, because I’m still confused.
We third-partied the mess, scooped some killmails, grabbed cinematic footage, and extracted clean. During our extraction, we overkilled a response fleet to save a rorqual since it was on the way.

Days later, it began with one of our members, who had some rough family news, deciding to sponsor a fleet, giving out cruisers and bringing his Phoenix to the fight and blow off some steam. Naturally, I decided to support him in the least practical way possible - by fielding a Revelation Navy Issue, stuffed with CONCORD fittings and backed by a pod that would make most people question me.
We warped into G-Q, anchored right in Horde’s ESS, and then we waited. And waited. And waited. A few people warped in and died, but seems like they were nervous if it was bait or not.
Eventually the enemy trickled in, and then the full fleet of battleships landed, and the fight erupted. They battled with our subcaps for abit until they died, and thats when the Phoenix went down first. Drained its cap and destroyed it faster than a newbro exploring low-sec. Then they came for me.
I was holding out pretty well, repping the damage and surviving, but with the riveting and exciting gameplay mechanics, they drained all my cap and I couldn’t do anything. Somehow a titan was on grid and I missed it in the footage. They tried to snipe the kill from everyone with its Doomsday weapon but failed, and eventually I was destroyed. Soon after, my pod was wiped and I was not able to capture my own explosion.
So yeah, billions were fed, footage was lost, but the content was worth it. Cinematics, killmails, and questionable decision-making - all wrapped up in one, and we can’t wait to do it again.
