[Jester's Trek] Kill of the Week: Bait capitals
Kill of the Week: Bait capitals
This was a big week for high-sec missioning Machariels blapped by Tornadoes. There was this Machariel. And this Machariel. And this Machariel. And this Machariel. But for kill of the week, I was tempted to go with this Kronos, also killed by Tornadoes. That ship died in a 0.9 system. Can we all just agree now that security status of systems in high-sec means almost nothing any more? Let's just all assume that all high-sec systems are basically 0.5 systems and should be treated as 0.5 systems for purposes of risk.
But for kill of the week, I'm going to turn my attention within my own alliance. Any player, regardless of experience, can sometimes do an incredibly stupid thing. This qualifies:

There are seven things wrong with this kill-mail, each worse than the last. See if you can find them all. The pilot involved claims that the bulk of those blueprints were BPCs, so the value of the loss shouldn't be as high as is reported here. While the API can usually distinguish between BPCs and BPOs, this doesn't apply to blueprints inside cans. Anyway, expect to see this pilot seeking his fortunes elsewhere in a day or two. This is not the sort of thing you can do in Rote Kapelle and survive in Rote Kapelle.
Number of dead super-caps this week: 2
Only two super-caps to write about this week. First to die was this Aeon. This one was a very straight-forward bait gank. See that Thanatos on the kill-mail? The Aeon pilot was apparently baiting with a Redeemer alt, so Ninja Unicorns gave the Redeemer that Thanatos. Once the Thanatos was committed, a cyno Executioner comes in, calls in the Aeon, and then the counter fleet arrives:
Dead Aeon. The Aeon, of course, got no kills (you can see a rep Archon keeping the bait Thanny alive in the video).
Second super-cap to die this week was this Nyx, also to a much more massive Nulli Secunda gank. EVE News 24 has the story on this one, but you can skip it, honestly. It was exactly the same story. In this case, a bait dread was dropped on a TCU. Nyx jumps on the dread, Nulli fleet jumps on the Nyx, dead Nyx.
Felt like a pretty quiet week this week, honestly...
