Group Drake Gank -> Drake Downed.

Posted by Captain Charismatic

Hello readers… My EVE name is Captain Charismatic. Recently, Paul extended the invitation for me to join Jerks. Of course, I jumped at the chance. :)

Anyway, even with a couple wars going on, it’s been pretty dull around Dodixie. It so happened that all 3 of us were online tonight, and Khalia had just found a Drake doing a mission. As soon as he looted, the Drake fired, and Khalia warped off to get his gank Harbinger.

Arriving back, Khalia made the call for RR as he pointed the Drake, Paul and I rushed over, ready to assist. I had my remote repairs going for a good 2 minutes, when the Drake locked me and fired. I immediately attempted to warp to the base with my gank Raven, and ended up getting out with around 57% structure. That makes 8 fleet engagements that this Osprey has survived in, with almost all of them getting it into hull.

Not long after, Paul was shot at, and warped off to get his Tengu. Both of us landed at around the same time back at the mission, with Khalia taking heavy armor damage. Khalia managed to hold the drake off JUST long enough for Paul to get a point on him, and was into structure before his Harbinger warped off. I was out at a crazy range, and needed to close the distance, but Paul, being in the faster T3 ship, started tearing into the drake. Surprisingly, the Drake was pretty much tanking Paul’s T2 missiles, and it was a bit of a stalemate.

Finally, I got into range, and started laying into him with Caldari Navy Juggernaut torpedoes, apparently the correct choice, as I started receiving damage notifications of over 1000 per volley. His tank dropping like a rock, Paul convo’d him and requested a ransom. Which he promptly denied. We resumed fire, Khalia even managed to come back in his Abaddon and get some damage in, and his drake was overpowered.

I started Fraps recording the moment I remembered it was on, and it pretty much covers from when I started blasting him with torpedoes. It’s here.

    Whenever you kill a Drake, another two are born somewhere else in the universe… just so you know.
