On the 15th of September, AMC. corporation from DreddedEVE alliance scored an Erebus titan class kill in L1S-G1 in Great Wildlands region. The Erebus was spotted in Egbinger by a interdictor pilot from AMC. corporation while hunting for a thanatos in the same constellation. According to Padecain Hakoke of AMC. they had eyes on the titan until a neut cyno logged in L1S-Gq. Interdictors were sent to intercept. Bubble up. Dead titan. The following interview was gratefully provided by Padecain Hakoke of AMC.
[15:45:49] Aon Flux > I can see that the titan has a travelfit. How did you find it? Who found it?
[15:46:17] Padecain Hakoke > my corpmate found him in Egbinger
[15:46:21] Padecain Hakoke > 6? 8 hours ago
[15:46:52] Padecain Hakoke > he was in egbinger local and found a cyno at nowhere
[15:46:59] Aon Flux > ok
[15:47:08] Padecain Hakoke > he warped there and didnt see what jumped in
[15:47:37] Padecain Hakoke > he checked in local chat and found an Erebus
[15:47:48] Padecain Hakoke > we had eyes on him
[15:47:53] Padecain Hakoke > he was online until DT
[15:48:11] Aon Flux > eyes on him in Egbinger?
[15:48:19] Padecain Hakoke > we made perfect guess that he was coming toward us and set up a fleet
[15:48:22] Padecain Hakoke > yes there
[15:48:25] Aon Flux > ok
[15:48:46] Padecain Hakoke > we just waited and he came
[15:49:09] Padecain Hakoke > few cyno ships have passed
[15:49:12] Padecain Hakoke > we let them go
[15:49:26] Aon Flux > how did you find him in L1S-?
[15:49:37] Padecain Hakoke > finally a neut cyno came into l1s and erebus logged on
[15:49:50] Aon Flux > ah, right
[15:49:57] Padecain Hakoke > a heretic just warped to cyno
[15:50:09] Padecain Hakoke > failed to bubble titan on cyno
[15:50:15] Padecain Hakoke > erebus warped to P3
[15:50:29] Padecain Hakoke > another dic warped there and bubbled him
[15:50:46] Aon Flux > ok, so you guys had a good dic pilot?
[15:51:19] Padecain Hakoke > yep
[15:52:13] Aon Flux > I have looked at the titan pilot’s killboard. He has a lot of cap kills. Did you know him as a cap hunter or did you guys just “find” him by coincidence?
[15:52:35] Padecain Hakoke > didnt expect him
[15:52:47] Padecain Hakoke > we were after another thanatos in Egbinger
[15:53:04] Padecain Hakoke > we lost that guy and Erebus came
[15:53:06] Aon Flux > well that is a target upgrade
[15:53:53] Padecain Hakoke > just a bad day for him
[15:54:07] Padecain Hakoke > we wouldn’t see him coming if he came 5 min later
[15:54:32] Aon Flux > well, that is bad luck
It has not been possible to get a comment from the Baxalusx, who piloted the titan or his, now previous, corporation. It should be noted that titan was lost at 14:47 and Baxalusx was in a NPC corp at 14:54. Baxalusx’s killboard shows both large and small kills before 2011 and then there is a long hiatus. The pilot might have come back to EVE after a long break and logged into EVE in his titan. But unfortunately there were a carrier hunting team in the neighborhood.
