War has again been declared on the corpopration.
This time we decided to fight or at least try to fight off the Decc. I don't claim to be a very seasoned PvP'er, because I'm really not, but I know how to lock and shoot.
We had wartargets docked in Dodixie and several of us set up outside the station. We waited around for a bit wondering if there was going to be any fighting, when suddenly 3 Battleships undocked. We were a little surprised at first and our own force consisted mostly of BC's and cruisers, some Ewar and Logistics. Scorpion, Apoc and Mael drifted down the undock pipe and we opened fire on the Apoc. I know, Scorp should be primary, but hindsight is 20/20 and I was only jammed once from the Scorp. Whether down to Scorp pilot or our own Blackbird I don't know.
Apoc was however steadily going down, but as he dipped into low armor he started suddenly shooting back up. Neutral Guardian had undocked and started repping him. I don't know if they used the neutral repper or if they just wanted someone to agress them randomly, but the guardian was fired upon and a Machariel undocked right behind it. At that point we did'nt stand much of a chance. The Mach chewed through my Prophecy rather quickly and he pounded the rest shortly thereafter.
We did kill the Apoc though, before the Mach could pop our small fleet.
I'm not sure if the Mach pilot was working with our wardecc'ers or not, as I said, the corp could just be looking for people agressing. The Mach pilot did score a killmail on our WT's Mael which is why I'm wondering what actually happened.
Regardless, we learned a lesson and had a good fight, we also got a bit of PvP experience under our belt.
While we did loose most of our fleet to that Mach pilot we did bring down a WT Apoc so we did'nt exactly consider it a complete loss. Fleet chat was full of reflection after the fight and very little resignation, instead of bad moods, whining and accusations we were examining the fight and what we'd done. I don't think any of us have a lot of experience with PvP, but I'm still proud to fly with my corp and of their attitude after the fight.
