Confirming if he had had barrage, that first pass would have been my last. Didn't get neuted on first pass, wasn't jammed on first pass. Second pass he was jammed for one cycle I'm guessing (yellow box dissapeared on approach). I didn't stick around at web range when that cycle ended, as soon as other tacklers were in range I bailed to 20km orbit. He had a couple moments to warp out twice, but he was burning away from gate the entire time... and not in a direction that had celestials. Doubt he would have had time to notice dropped point align and warp before someone else locked him down.Perseus Kallistratoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01605751794994099766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-408383559984579074.post-54767099668756380192010-03-30T13:52:26.730-06:002010-03-30T13:52:26.730-06:00Nice report!

Even if he had left the drones on you I'm not sure that he would have been able to kill you before the drones were out of range. Was he jammed when you made your approach?<br /><br />Looking at the fit, he made a few mistakes, one being not fitting the medium range tracking bonused ammo or even barrage in a few or all of his guns to give him better protection against approaching inties or ships at range. Next is that he had his drones in his bay when he died, well minus 2 drones, 6 Warrior II's reported on his mail. Not sure how that figured in but I always leave my drones out until I die!<br /><br />You are correct more than 100 percent when you say inties are still a threat at 50km, but I'm not really sure what he could have done in this case. I would have tried to neut you on your second approach, likely neuted you on your first pass and killed your velocity enough to kill you before you had a chance to get out of range, I also would have been using barrage so a bit better engagement range... stuck my drones on you for the duration since there weren't any other inties on the field judging by the KM. Then again I wouldn't have tried to stay on the field if there was a moment I could have warped out!<br /><br />Do you manually pilot to get the approach you want? I tend to do so, but it is a bit trickier done than said. Sometimes it is just easier to set a orbit at 40 KM, then 25, then 15 then 5. Either way takes a bit of getting used to.Logan Fyreitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18020193253139376508noreply@blogger.com
