"Chaos, you're really good at identifying guns on ships, right?" "Nope!"
The winner of this week's killmail of the week (kotw) is Schadsquatch. His fleetmates didn't all come out alive, but they sure claimed some glory and ISK en route. It's a little longer than some of our kotw winning videos, but we recommend watching the full clip to watch the drama unfold. Here's the story:
"This was my second time flying a Stiletto on stream. I was nervous about being the head scout after the world’s greatest Ishtar hunter, kjeezy, had to leave the fleet.
"We were flying around Nullsec and were ringing the locals' doorbells. We entered a dead-end system and found ourselves face-to-face with a multiboxing capsuleer. As predicted, he docked up his Ishtars and Vexors. The ESS had 200m+ in ISK stored away, so we thought we would stick around and wait it out. I went to go keep an eye on the Athanor in the system to see if the locals were hanging around. I warped in and noticed a few Praxis undock. Excitedly, I told my fleet that the locals were wanting to engage. And then a couple more Praxis undocked, and then some more. Turns out that the person’s door we were ringing had a lot more ships than just the one!
"The Praxis’ were then slung towards the ESS. I pumped on the accelerator and rushed back to my gang, hoping to get on grid before the Praxis. The Stiletto must have had some NOS in the hyperdrive because I got on and orbited the ESS beacon faster than the Praxis did.
"I skilfully kept the Praxis on grid, snuck under their guns to grab their escape frigates and capsuleer pods, and managed to get off grid after being targeted multiple times. Obviously we were ISK and fun positive by the end of the engagement. The multi-boxer came into my chat and gave a GG, gifted a Friendship Astero skin (the one I’ve always wanted), and we had a good laugh. I went from hating how the Stiletto looked to now buying up a dozen to use on future adventures."
