D3vil’s Childr3n lost a Erebus to the hands of Pandemic Legion thanks to his excessive use of the bridge button.
Yes! Bridging you heard it right. This titan didn’t fail jump, no. His bridge secured his death. Pandemic Legion had been told that Cercis InoAtari‘s Erebus had been bridging fleets many times and that he could potentially be bumped out. While monitoring Cercis InoAtari’s behavior they found a potential PW and decided to give it a shot.
Today, Cercis InoAtari logged in to bridge, PL’s cyno alt moved to the other side of the POS so that PL was in a good position to get him out of the POS shields should the PW work. Sure enough Cercis InoAtari lit his bridge and PL took the chance. They lit their cyno and Bump Machariels jumped in. All Machariel pilots injected the potential PW into their hull and started to MWD towards the Erebus. All Pilots were able to enter the shields at high speed while Cercis InoAtari’s Erebus was still in his bridge cycle, making him unable to move.
A successful bump meant that the Erebus flew out of the pos and PL Hic’s who had jumped in too quickly got tackle. Before finally dreads were jumped in to secure Cercis InoAtari’s death.
PenifSMASH, One of PLs senior members only wanted to give the following statement:
penifSMASH: I’m pretty sure this is the first time in EVE that a titan died because he bridged instead of jumped
What do you guys think will be the reason for the next titan’s destruction? The Bridge or the Jump? Let us know in the comment section below!
