Amamake Rage

As our killboard quite clearly shows we have been on vacation for the past week. Leaving our normal base of operations in Brin for the insane twirl of pvp that only Amamake can provide. As part of our Rifter program I moved 50 Rifters including fittings at the cost of the corp over to our new office in Amamake and we had the fun commence. I wish to add here that I even won a bet with Von on if my cyno alt would survive. See I moved the Rifters in with my Jump Freighter and of course I did this in peak EU timezone. Lighting the cyno with my alt in a normal Heron frigate, to all our surprise I actually lived out the full 10 minutes until the cyno ran out. No one even came to gank it!

Anyways back to the much more interesting explosions. Our vacation week starts out great, after I go off for dinner. I had literally logged of for 10 minutes, when sure enough, the guys probe down an help kill a Rattlesnake. Seriously a Rattlesnake, in Amamake and it was missioning. Granted the fit wasn’t the greatest, but still. After I came back from dinner, and yelled on comms because I just missed that, we continued on with our killing spree, killing frigates and destroyers in quick succession. We thought we bagged something nice when we caught a Vagabond and swarmed him with our 3 Rifters. Then a hostile rapier decloaks, but we quickly surmise that he is neutral to both parties. So we shout in local at him to help kill the Vagabond, as that is a much tastier targets then a bunch of Rifters. The Vagabond enters structure and we warp off, not wanting to lose our ships to the rapier and thinking the Rapier will easily finish it off anyway. However hilarity ensues when low and behold the Vagabond warps off in structure as the Rapier had no pointed it. In all honesty we should have just traded the Rifters for the Vagabond, but damn that Rapier failed. So smack ensued in local, while we hatched a plan to now murder that Rapier. After all that would be justice, right?

Getting another friendly aboard we set our plan in motion. The entirety of the plan consisted of springing there trap and then swarming the Rapier in hopes that it died before we did. Sure enough they sprung there trap and engaged our lonesome Rifter in top belt, so we went for it. We got point on the Rapier as their support warped in. They now had one Rapier, one Fleet Issue Stabber, one Taranis and one Thrasher against our three Rifters and one Taranis. However we had the upper hand as our friendly decloaked his Falcon and presumed to jam the stuffings out of any hostiles on the field. We quickly burned the Taranis to prevent it from eating up our Rifters and continued munching on the Rapier. It went boom shortly after. The Thrasher was next as the Fleet Stabber had quickly moved away and was now well out of range. He was no match for our mighty Rifter army and we got our last pretty explosion of that battle. They smacked more in local, we laughed on comms and thanked our friendly neighborhood Falcon as we parted ways.

The following days we got many more kills and much hilarity, as the poor T1 Rifters killed T2 and faction hulls. Mostly interceptors but some unfortunates like this Dramiel and another Vagabond. Even one on one some didn’t stand a chance, lie this poor Navy Slicer that Von caught. In the end our total rampage ended like this. 105 kills against 61 losses, 59 of our losses were T1 frigates. One particular highlight I still think are the 19 Interceptor kills, which just proves that T2 doesn’t always beat T1. This ends our lovely vacation in Amamake, though I have left the Rifters there. You never know when we might go back after all. Now we’re back to our normal routine of engaging SCUM. and ridding the universe of anything that looks like a mission ship. I look forward to our future kills and as always: This can only end well!
