![]() ![]() Legacy still has some work to do if they plan to reduce all of those.īut they can point out to their allies in Fountain that they now hold 25 ihubs in Querious compared to the 20 that PandaFam hold in Fountain as of this writing. As I noted, many of them have citadels of ours anchored in them, safe spots where we can land and repair. However, those systems are not completely lost to us. It you hold the TCU you do get notifications if somebody drops a structure in the system, which is how we have been so quick to track down the POS towers that Legacy has been trying to drop in our space. Holding the ihub gives the owner effective control of the system, though I did learn this week that the TCU is not as useless as I thought. Querious systems where Legacy now has an ihub They have now managed to blow up and replace 25 ihubs in Quetrious. In the end though, Legacy won the objective. SRP will cover that, plus I got the final blow on one of the entosis ships, which adds another 50 million ISK in bounties, or basically another interceptor fit for these sort of ops. I ended up lowing two interceptors… both on my main. It was on its way to 3am for me when I finally logged off. Asher called it a night as the sun was rising for him, but another fleet was forming up to take out place. Our efforts took what might have been an hour long operation for Legacy if unhindered, into at least a four hour effort while we were around. ![]() This allowed us to tether up safely… a Legacy interceptor fleet landed on us just as we tethered at one point, so they couldn’t do much save warp off and try and catch us elsewhere… as well as repair the constant thermal damage from overheating guns and prop mods that came as part of our attempts to catch and kill entosis ships that are often equipped with MJDs or prop modes that let them hit the maximum 4K meters per second allowed with an entosis module fit. While their individual firepower is not great, a large enough group of them can focus fire and take down a hard subcap target. Interceptors are fast align, warp, and move in general and are interdiction nullified, which means that they pass through warp disruption bubbles unaffected. Asher Elias formed up an interceptor fleet well after midnight his time on the east coast (the ping for the fleet hit just before 11pm my time… the vulnerabilities were set for Chinese/Austrailian hours) and set out to see just how annoying he could be. Losing the ihubs being the accepted outcome, we instead chose to simply make the effort as difficult as possible. The way Fozzie Sov works, any alliance can attack during an enotisis contest, but only the alliance that owns the ihub can defend, and there seemed scant chance that we could find enough pilots in UED to make any difference. On the Imperium side it was seen as a foregone conclusion that we were going to lose these ihubs. So they managed to setup a set of events by reinforcing ihubs that would allow them to destroy a large batch of them in on big operation. ![]() Plus, as an added bonus, notifications when sovereignty structures were being hacked only went out to UED, which meant they usually got little or no response. That meant that the systems had low ADMs, which meant their vulnerability windows were large and the time needed to reinforce them was relatively short. The targets were in eastern Querious, systems owned by the United Earth Directorate, a 114 character alliance which was set up, as I understand it, by P.L.A to claim the space that was abandoned when the Querious Fight Club was disbanded on the eve of the war. But last night and this morning some something of an actual coordinated effort. But, with rare exceptions, their efforts were largely harassment level efforts, doing entosis runs to ping warnings on GSF alerts and even setting some timers now and then, but with very little in the way of follow up. Not that Legacy had not been operating in Querious up to this point. Or maybe they wanted to show PandaFam, which battered its way into Fountain earlier in the week in the face of stiff resistance, that they were carrying their weight in the war. Perhaps they felt they needed a tangible win for morale reasons. After nearly three weeks of trying to gain ground in Period Basis, which saw their early gains reversed while their POS tower dropping campaign did little to change he balance, TEST alliance and its Legacy Coalition allies decided to focus on a much softer target. ![]()
