Definitely needed this topic, I'll take the liberty to recount the recent story of a friend and corporation mate, for us it was simply a stroke of genius.
Moving ships from one system to another is quite common, however, moving an Orca is a slightly more complex ritual, as it's a command ship for mining operations support, so it usually doesn't pose much danger, or so the poor victims thought.
The ship was in warp, in the middle of a fairly large system, everything was going as expected, listening to the sweet hum of warp travel, there were only a few seconds left to finish the journey when suddenly a small fleet of 10 T2 Frigates appeared at the gate where the Orca was arriving, and those small ships had enough firepower to destroy it.
Upon reaching the gate, there were only a few seconds to react, so he decided to wait until at least half of the enemies aggressed him, which would prevent them from crossing the gate for 1 minute, thus reducing the DPS he would receive. When his attackers started firing and he saw the opportunity, he crossed the gate and started aligning with the hope of being able to escape before the rest of the aggressors followed, however, the enemies were much more agile and faster so they caught up with him in less than 2 seconds, and here, my dear readers, is where the Orca shows its more aggressive side.
The enemies did not expect the Orca to have more aggressive equipment than usual (let's remember that it's usually a support ship, not for PvP), so without hesitation, he activated his shields and started targeting his aggressors, deployed his first drone and his best card: a Gekko, and coupled with his stasis module and his neutralizers, he slowly began to inflict damage on his aggressors. The combat was at its peak, he quickly managed to kill two of the five frigates, however, his aggressors identified very quickly the drone that was punishing them so hard and went to destroy it, however, this managed to give the advantage to the Orca, which by reducing the DPS it was receiving and while they were killing his drone, managed to shut down two frigates leaving them floating in space unable to do anything, so when he released his new set of drones they were an easy prey, at this point, he had already managed to kill 4 of his 5 aggressors, the last one simply surrendered and asked to be killed, the rest of the fleet crossed and left, not without losing one more frigate that got too close, all the enemy pilots praised his response and how he had managed to escape alone in a situation where he clearly had a numerical disadvantage, while they retreated another player from our corporation approached to care for and escort the mighty war Orca, which managed to escape and give us this incredible story.
The combat was too fast, the mental response of our protagonist was simply spot on, and I consider that I probably wouldn't have thought at that level in just a few seconds.
I also share a screenshot of how the Orca ended up and a link to zkill as evidence of such a magnificent feat.
