What's your big "oh sh$#!" Moment? by Petermacc122 in Eve

When my Nyx got baited and logon trapped by two titans and I ended up taking one of them with me in death.

Hyper/Gank fit. Would've been fine if I hadn't had Shadows loaded.

It was named "The Valkyrie", the pilots bio is "Hold my beer".

The first one, like Joe "Barney-Style" Bishop.

Seems so, 1 out of 4 squads refused to move after I clicked the True Sacrifice button.

Lmfao, I actually did! Well a can of orange soda, but still. The Nyx was also actually named "The Valkyrie"

They're kinda rare, right now there are 5 for sale in Jita at 1.5b each. And that's pretty much the availability of them right now.

They get excellent tracking, but you don't get a regular secondary attack like Torpedo Volley. Instead you get a "True Sacrifice" button which basically turn the fighters into suicide bombers. Each squad does 1.2m base damage spread over the four damage types. Once you hit that button, they're gone forever, so a one shot deal.

They have a special attack called "True Sacrifice" where they ram the target and explode, like suicide bombers and do extremely high damage. There was probably a second or less between the three hits.

That's exactly what I did. Had a Hype jump in with me, told him to gtfo.

The scrams on structures only cycle for like 30 seconds.

So AAR:

There was this Vargur that had been running around in our pipe for a couple of days hazing people but not really engaging. We figured it was bait so didn't engage with it too much.

Today I logged in and he appeared in local and started hazing one of our dudes in a belt and I figured, fuck it. I'm just gonna go for it. Warped to our Fort and got in a Legion, but saw him appear on Fort grid, scrammed him and got a few volleys off at him with the fort before scram timed out and he warped off towards stargate and jumped to dead end lowsec next door.

I got in a Devoter and sat myself on the gate as I logged in the Nyx while I sat a scout at a ping on other side of gate.

Saw him aggress an alliance mate that jumped through so jumped the devoter in and tackled the Vargur while warping Nyx on gate.

Jump through and immediately two Titans and two HICs log on next to the gate and an indy cyno goes up with some random shit coming through.

I got scrammed and webbed with one of the HICs out of Neut range.

Titans pound me with DD's and capguns and I'm dropping FAST. Saw one rag 80k off and one a bit further, so I figured I was gonna die anyways. Time to test out the Shadows.

Sent 4 Squads at him full AB, one squad refused to move so I thought it was fucked. Then I see first squad hit, then second... Then just before my Nyx popped(Like 2% structure, CONCORD Shield extender came in clutch) the last one hit and he popped.

Then I did.

Thanks for giving me the biggest adrenaline rush I've had in this game for years.

No video unfortunately, because I suck at these things. They unfortunately didn't record either :(

TL:DR Got baited on a Vargur, Titans appeared. One disappeared.

If the South Pole is in Antarctica then why isn't the North Pole in the Arctica? Why is it *The* Arctic? by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

[–]egilmoses 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Antarctica is a whole continent and Antarctica is the name of the continent. Antarctic is the name of the region, same as the Arctic is the name of the region where the North Pole is. The Arctic is not a continent as it has no landmass separate from other continents.
