Last week, the NCDOT alliance moved staging systems to be within range of the Querious region. Their goal according to alliance leader Vince Draken is to ”make INIT CRY”. With this goal in mind, NCDOT just took the first system off INIT’s Hands!:
On Friday, the rest of the timers were coming out of reinforced and Kcoler, on of the CFC FCs, had pinged for around 36 hours so that they could form a fleet to fight NCDOT. By 18:00, his persistent pinging resulted in a CFC fleet of approximately 900 pilots stretching from YAO to Delve. In support, INIT formed what Vince Draken described as ”the biggest fleet he had seen them field”; a 250 man fleet.
NCDOT knew that CFC was able to support INIT with large numbers and had reinforced all jump bridge POSes that CFC would use to get to Querious. this meant that CFC had to use titans, which would slow their long march to the battlefield.
In total, NCDOT had formed 379 pilots in Gehi, while other N3 groups filled up a Tengu fleet and Nulli Secunda brought a 120 man Cerberus fleet. PASTA decided to support N3 as well and deployed their infamous bomber fleet.
With all fleets ready, N3 and Co. decided to start moving. NCDOT managed to get their 250 man Tengu fleet into the system first, followed by a full Tengu fleet let by Sort Dragon. The 120 man Nulli Secunda Cerberus fleet was next to jump in, bringing the local count up to 740.
Earlier, NCDOT had logged their super fleet outside of their POS in system, but with the system filling up the order was given to log in. A total of 110 super carriers followed this command, putting local at 850 pilots.
Everything was now set to rock and roll. However, CFC/INIT never showed up to the party, claiming that they couldn’t fight without the CFC capital fleet to back them up. CFC/INIT all moved back to their homes, docked up and stood down. This resulted in N3 pushing the system into the final reinforcement timer. After this abject failure, the CFC didn’t bother to form for any timers created by NCDOT in Querious.
At 22:34 last night the A2-V27 Station fell, uncontested, to 350 NCDOT pilots.
Is INIT/CFC not worried about Querious? Are they planning something else, preventing them from moving to that particular region or that far across the universe? Are they too scared? These are just a few questions coming to my mind when typing this out. All in all, I’m sure that we will see some interesting developments, and I will be sure to report on these after they happen!
