Da nimmt man sich mal einen Tag frei und dann sowas…

Erneut brachen an diesem Tage schwere Gefechte in L3-I3K aus. Wie bereits in einigen anderen Systemen ein paar Tage zuvor, lag die Vermutung nahe, dass die lang erwartete Gegenoffensive von Kenzoku und Co langsam ins Rollen gerät. Waren es anfangs nur vereinzelte Roaming Gangs, so treten mehr und mehr ausgewachsene Flotten in Erscheinung, welche den Koalitionsmächten durchaus Paroli bieten können.

Am diesem Tage wurde daher der Einsatz von Massenvernichtungswaffen beschlossen. Die hierzu verwendeten Titantypen Leviathan und Avatar richteten ein Massaker unter den Gegnern an. Mehr als 100 Schiffe fielen der gewaltigen Schlagkraft der Doomsday Deveices zum Opfer.

Das ganze Ausmaß der Zerstörung findet man auf dem Pandemic Legion Killboard:

KIA- Stern Black war hautnah dabei und hat hierzu einen Bericht angefertigt:

Think it was around 18:30 that 170 AAA fleet was spotted in one system while another 100 where in another. Fleet was quickly formed for a bridge from PR- I ran to UHKL to get my carrier while caps staged at POSs in UHKL and 319.

Cynos where put up and we all jumped into L3 at Planet 1 and aligned to gates. At this point local was approximately 200. While we where at planet 1 enemy fleet jumped in local up to 350. There was a stand off in system then their BS started arriving at planet 1.

Carriers dropped fighters and primaries where called. Not much damage was happening due to the large amount of carriers on our side and logistics for the enemy. Around this time another cyno was dropped and more friendly carries and support jumped in. This is when lag kicked in, local up to approx 500, my overview disappeared. I re-logged (big mistake). Back on field support was ordered out to the sun to kill enemies warping out, carriers where several time ordered to withdraw fighters and but no DD came. Support then carriers where ordered to Planet 2.

Warped in and fight continued, due to lag serious delay in launching drones also as ordered to keep fighters in could only attack ships relatively close. Continued with support being ordered to several planets while carriers kept their BSs busy, realistically at planet 2 neither side could do serious damage because of the lag however they where slowly going down. At this point I hit a lag spike and could do nothing, lost overview and drone window while reppers where stuck on active. Order was given to warp to planet 5, I did this and logged off while continuing to listen on TS rest is what I only managed to piece together.

Rest is kind of self explanatory, hostile fleet withdrew to a planet and got at least double DDed there, not sure if other DDs where at separate locations or all the same. Enemy fleet was decimated those still alive left system. I logged in again and finally got my overview/chat back and managed to jump on a cyno home.
