HOOKERS AND BLOW. REVENANT DOWN IN QUERIOUS

May 26, 2016

On the 26th of May, 06:18 (EVE Time), a Revenant Super Carrier belonging to Hookers And Blow. pilot MrMephistopheles was destroyed by a Brave Collective fleet with contributions from allies from across Querious in system V-LEKM in Querious. Brave Scouts had known MrMephistopheles was in the area, having lost some ships to him recently, when a scout saw him in local chat in an adjoining system. Following him into V-LEKM, the Revenant logged off in a safe and pilots from Brave made a commitment to camp the area he was last seen in hopes of being able to tackle him and hot drop a fleet of capitals to burn down the Super Carrier.

After a weeks worth of tracking from Brave pilots, during which MrMephistopheles taunted multiple attempts at finding him while cloaked in a safe (see below), a POS was set up to hold a response fleet of interdictors to ensure any response was rapid, and any losses in tackle were replaced quickly. Reddit poster cruftbox was making a delivery of interdictors in a Lif (Minmatar Force Auxiliary) when the Revenant was seen again, taunting the Lif pilot that he ”was lucky I don’t have a point, or you’d be dead”, little realizing the trap that was being created around him. Waiting clocked in a safe spot, MrMephistopheles logged off again, but not realizing the danger relogged a short time later, and sealed his fate.

Unknown to MrMephistopheles, his safe spot had been compromised and a Broadsword Heavy Interdiction Cruiser pilot, Roartak lay in wait, pouncing on the unsuspecting Super Carrier as it logged back in, directly into the waiting warp disruption field. With the Super Carrier held in place, the cyno went up and the call was made to all Brave pilots online as well as all members of the Querious Fight Club, including members of Rote KapelleI N F A M O U S, and Affirmative. Ships ranging from Raptor interceptors, to Purifier and Nemesis Stealth Bombers, Tengu Strategic Cruisers, Armageddon Battleships up to Chimera and Naglfar capitals were involved in the kill, which was recorded and posted on YouTube.

The Revenant retaliated using Antaeus I heavy fighters, but was unable to break the Brave Tackle against the amazingly fast form up of the enemy, and once the capitals arrived on the field, the fast response fleet quickly burned through what was left of the Revenant’s shields, armour and hull. The Final Blow was dealt by Hideo Hetoshi in his Revelation, with the Top Damage being dealt by Dannar Hetoshi in his Naglfar. When the fight was over, the Brave Fleet and their allies had lost ten ships – one nemesis, 5 manticore, one flycatcher, one broadsword and one Armageddon, three pilots of which lost their pod, totaling a loss of 951 million Isk. MrMephistopheles lost his Revenant and pod (courtesy of Lumpymayo), at an estimated total loss of 131.56 billion Isk (3 billion Isk of which was implants). All told, 61 players were involved in the fight, which lasted approximately 14 minutes.
