Low Sec Empire

[Durzel]

Flew my Bhaalgorn out of a wormhole yesterday, jumped through a lowsec gate into Maut and got pointed by a cyno Falcon which proceeded to drop a damn Nyx on my solo ass. What the fuck?

Pretty sure he had no clue who I was with because he just dropped said Nyx right on top of the gate as soon as I jumped through, and I had only previously done 2 lowsec jumps so wasn't like I'd been followed for some time.

Having no experience of supercap warfare, and particularly none of having a super dropped on a lone faction BS, is there a batphone I should be using to get a Nyx-killing fleet involved?

[Bacchanalian]

There are a bunch of groups in that area that would jump on the chance to kill a solo Nyx, but tbh almost all of them are at odds and the chances of counter drop to counter drop or tarp etc are high enough that I'm not sure how many of them would be willing to commit major firepower to it. Rooks and Kings might be able to scramble 20 guardians and 30 Abaddons or something, but I have no idea how long it takes them to batfoan their entire alliance online.

Was it Muppet Ninjas?

No idea to be honest, sorry, was too busy trying to GTFO (T2 trimarked full faction fit Bhaal with 2 plates and no stabs is the best travel fit Bhaal)

Got away huh? Nice.

[Durzel]

Yeah sorry I should've said. Had a corpmate who was incidentally in a Rook (without any Caldari jammers) who managed to break the point twice and we got away. This was the cyno guy, so if you're looking for a solo Nyx hotdrop he's your man!

[Bacchanalian]

Just venturing a guess, but the Nyx is probably the one on this mail. That said, it's the only kill I can find in the last few months with a Nyx and him on it, so who knows.

Almost certainly him - he flies with that corporation quite alot.

As a side note, Corps/Alliances that can probably kill a Super in <15 minutes near Placid are:

- Shadow Cartel
- Rooks & Kings
- Veto Kapelle (or however you say it)
- Muppet Ninjas
- Invicta
- Pax Romania Alliance

now why would we do that? we drop shit from time to time, but dropping a super on a lone Battleship is just plain retarded. especially dropping on a bhaal, could be a retarded bait with full neut fit.

It actually was anti carrier fit, full faction neut fitted.. was used shortly afterwards to nuke a sieged Dread.

Unfortunately I'm too ~foreveralone~ to have the contact details for anyone who could've dealt with it, all my contacts are wormhole corps really who wouldn't have the firepower to deal with a Nyx. It caught me by surprise to be honest, was expecting a blops drop or bridge (as odd as that would be with a non-covert cyno), I certainly wasn't expecting a solo Nyx.

[whispous]

Why are you all still hurf blurfing about how gay or stupid the nyx pilot was? Some people do stupid things, or some people get blobbed or ganked unfairly all the time. Deal with it.

We're just chatting bro, chill!

There are indeed a lot of groups around that would surely be interested in opportunities like this. Ideally you need a Shadow Broker character like Itsmehck1. He presumably leafs through a leather-bound book of contacts when the call comes and then selects the party to emerge as the heavens open. Which is not to say he can't kill them himself, for that matter.

This said, if the mail is important to the person doing the batphoning, then it would be best to call someone with PL-style firepower to make sure the super can't self-destruct in time. Smaller groups often have the supers self-destruct. We killed a Wyvern yesterday, for example, which SD'd in structure, even though we had a respectable (if not extreme) amount of firepower on field. He was originally tackled by a couple hics, 2 Bhaals, 3 Vindis and an Archon, and initiated early, just before more dps arrived:

John found him unanchoring a tower.

I think Itsme mentioned it to me, was he there?

[Lord Maldoror]

No, though he also killed a different self-destructing Wyvern a day earlier, iirc.

yep

Serious 420 bender on that reply

But then....who was batphone???

[TimNeilson]

who the hell says "let me just unanchor this tower IN MY WYVERN"? I mean it's not like anything could go wrong with that at all!
