Roam Report: 3/8/112 YC

By Xeross Posted in EVE Online, Pew Pew Leave a Comment

Recently I’ve been playing EVE not as much as I used to, this mainly because of the fact that you mostly PvE when you’re on a lot, so instead I’ll just tag along with any PvP ops I can find, this is one of them.

After forming up we decided to head into ev0ke space to see if there was any action there. However before we got there we got reports of a red roaming fleet in NC space, and we decided to head there.

Upon arrival in NC space it seemed that the roaming fleet had left and we missed the fight, though we were near Cobalt Edge (My old home), we decided to pay them a visit.

Upon entering their space and letting the scout do, well, some scouting they managed to gather a fleet of around 70 people if I recall correctly, so we decided, even though we were outnumbered, to take on the fleet and see if we could do any damage.

After some jumping around trying to get a tactical advantage IRC managed to drop upon us a bit unexpected. As soon as they landed I should have warped off, but for some reason I don’t recall I didn’t warp away in time, and my Rifter was lost.

After trying to do some damage our FC decided to cut the losses and try to get the remaining ships out alive, though most had already been lost a small part of thie ships was saved.

The remaining forces decided they still wanted to continue roaming so I decided to check if I could dock at a RAZOR alliance station to buy a new Rifter, unfortunately I couldn’t so that meant the roam was over for me.

So even though I lost my Rifter before I could even hit anything I had fun, even just roaming around chatting on Teamspeak is better than the repetitiveness of EVE”s PVP.

Well now to wait for the next PVP op which will probably be the next time I play EVE.

After roam report 11/07/112YC

Today we had a roam with the alliance, we started of in XX9 waiting for any reports on incoming gangs, after not a lot of stuff happened we decided to head into RA-N to see if someone was there, but it was pretty quiet too.

After this we decided to place some bait in HLW and after a while they bit, the gang quickly jumped in and we managed to kill an Oneiros and a Hurricane after this we went back to RA-N and left the bait on the gate.

After a while reports came in of a drake gang, they warped into us and we decided to engage, however it became clear our fleet couldn’t break their tank, and we went home with heavy losses (Though we managed to kill a Lachesis and a Saber).

Luckily for most of us their ship would be reimbursed as it was an alliance approved fit however as I didn’t have the money for the said fitting I had to fly a non-standard fit thus I didn’t get my Hurricane reimbursed.

All in all a successful roam, we had fun and we’ve learned a few things here and there.
