It happens but... so sad...

Pod pilot report Agatir Solenth: 2013.06.02 

Greetings my fellow pod pilots and blog readers!!!

Well our defense of W-space is complete... with mixed results.  I'm not usually the kind of guy to blame CCP for the "FAIL" of an op... but in this case, I'll let EvEmail report do the talking:


USTZ TRECI Defense Outcome

Xxxx/Xxxxx/et al,

Since I ended up FC'ing for most of the USTZ I wanted to let you know what happened and where we're at right now from my perspective. I'm not sure who would want to read this from the other corps/alliances but figured that you know most of the personalities who were interested. Please forward this to anyone else who might want to know what happened.

The bottom line up front is that a server crash enabled RAZOR to take down the bubbles around their POS and get their caps out to a safe.

Up until Tranquility started having issues around 0300 EVE everything was going fine. Bubble cage was fully in place and with about 20-30 pilots on grid at the RAZOR staging POS we were able to hold them inside. We killed a couple of sub-caps and locked one or two enemy scouts out, but no major engagements.

Once the server started to have problems and they rebooted Tranquility most of our people who were still online were not able to login. RAZOR did not have this problem, or at least not to the same extent that we did.

This enabled them to nose their tempests out of POS shields and take the bubbles down. Dreads and carriers warped off to a safe. Some RAZOR sub-caps started to self-destruct, which appears to be a trend which is continuing.

Where we're at right now is keeping eyes on the RAZOR POS, on the static, and keeping the few ships online inside the staging POS.

That's all I know as of 0500 EVE or so. The situation remains ... fluid.

Thanks for the opportunity to FC a good bunch of folks.

All I can say... I logged off with us having control (looking forward to a fight when reinforcement timers expired), yet I got a Twitter alert the enemy was evacuating having destroyed our warp disruption bubbles, and when I was finally able to log on...  All Razor Alliance did was sit inside of the POS shields before running out of the wormhole.

Oh well, next time null comes back to W-Space, it will be a different story!

Until then,

Be Bold...
