Kronos in C4a

After two days waiting in Hisec due a forced trip, I was able to return to my home system. The highsec system that was connecting the chain was not far, neither the chain was looking dangerous.

I had bought a new venture and fitted it again with the gas modules and some agility rigs, so perhaps next time I am more bright and I warp away.

At home there was not much to do, just a few people online, and probably half of them AFKing. I did check my PI, updating the extractors timers and moving products to the POCOs. Nothing really exciting, and neither I was in a mood to explore the chain.

I was about to join the AFKers team when suddenly tgl3 said in the channel: "Kronos in C4a running sites". PVP mode quickly triggered, fleet advertising, pings through Jabber announcing a possible target, comms, Guardian pilots requested... and update status in the channel:

Jabber ping did work, Mick and later Omaristos logged in and joined the fleet. We got a good set of ships, logis and DPS. I was sitting in my Hurricane and my alt Kippel was flying the second Guardian, being Mick in the other Guardian. A must to be able to cap transfer and hold the possible damage from the sleepers and Kronos.


C4a (J171225) is a Black Hole system, so flying an armor based fleet was going to be slow with our align times.

 

Raul was scouting with his proteus, watching how the kronos was dealing with the sleepers and waves. Meanwhile we were already waiting in the wormhole home->c4a waiting for Raul's call to jump. As soon we got the go signal, we jumped to C4a, and warped to the site, DPS ships to 0km, logis to 50km.

 

I am convinced we caught by surprise the kronos pilot and soon he was in structure. Through comms tgl3 ordered to hold fire, we were going to bring a HIC to catch the pod, when the kronos started his own self-destruction. He wanted to deny us the kill and loot.

 

 

 

We tried to bring an Onyx but it took us too much time, so when the timer was about to end, we engaged again and finished the kronos. The pod warp away before we could catch him.

 

 

Loot fairy was not very generous with us, neither us with Arkarot:

 

 

Before returning back to our system, we grabbed some of loot from the sleeper wrecks that kindly the kronos had killed.

 

This is wormhole life, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
