Oh Noes, how depressing!
I'm ashamed to write this.
Today...... I lost a Battleship..........To a lvl 4 mission.
It's the first time I've lost a battleship to a PvE mission, I've lost them in PvP but never to a mission.
It was Serpentis Assault, I fielded an Apocalypse class battleship, and it died, horribly in a fire.
I'm not even sure what happened, I'd just moved an old Apoc up to my primary agent and decided to do a mission before calling it a night. I get "The Assault", check my hardeners and undock, I punch in the gate activation as I land and stuff started happening from there.
I lock up the rats, smallest ones first and start firing. The destroyer dies in one volley, naturally, but my modules are stuck, I've had guns stuck in a few lag heavy situations before, but never in a highsec system with 77 people in it.
By the time my guns start cycling proper again, everything is on me. The whole room aggroes for some reason and my tank is failing horribly, I'm pointed and my drones aren't killing the scrammers fast enough for me to warp out.
Apoc goes boom and I'm left staring at my wreck in disbelief.
I did fetch my trusty Megathron right after and headed back for some proper revenge on the Serpentis Corporation, but the damage was allready done. I suffered a severly bruised pride and my ego took a serious dent.
First Battleship loss to a mission has now come and gone, fortunately, it was an Amarrian ship, I could not bear the loss of my precious Megathron.
On another note, I've bought a Noctis and set it up for salvaging, was a little expensive as I bought it early, but well worth the investment. I payed around 58 mill or so for it, but I don't forsee loosing them very often and I'd still have bought it. I have to say, it's awsome for salvaging.
The tractor range, speed and salvage speed makes cleanig out a mission site a breeze, nothing to it, very little moving around and the increased cargo space you get is worth it by itself.
You can even pick up all the cap boosters and scrap metal without worrying about cargo space or docking up just to clear out the Destroyer.
Fly safe.
