I'm going to have to up my game this week... with fleets on Weds, Thurs, Fri, Sat & Sun... I am hoping that I can deliver! :D

You've very narrowly missed out on the last two. Hard to contest with a charity stream though 😁

No specific entry this week from me sadly... not because we didn't kill stuff - on the contrary we killed loads - but none of the warranted a KOTW entrant imho!

That said, - here is my after action report for what turned out to be a cracker of a week!

The tl;dr for so many fleets was that my Mrs was on holiday, and with nothing to do in the evenings that equates to a fleet every night!

15/11 We kicked of proceedings with FWYW: Fly What You Want

• Round 1 included an assortment of battleships, BCs cruisers and support with a filament into Period Basis

• We encountered a Wolf gang (around a dozen) that was incredibly risk averse, and would not come down to us rolling bubbles, eventually catching some stragglers, killing around 600m piecemeal

• Goons then formed up 5:1 with a mixture of Harpies so we took heavy losses, but had a brawl to the death - we came out isk down, but had great fun in the process.

• We took the chance to regroup and reform and went out for Rd2.

• Rounds 2 saw us form up RR Battle Exeqs, and once again we got a brawl, but 3 vargurs vaporised us pretty quickly

• all in 1.4BN destroyed, and pew pew was had!

16/11 ShrinkWrapped

• incredibly quiet in null tonight as everyone was out in FW space

• Nothing really notable, until Rev caught a gating Providence, which melted incrdibly quickly - alas he was empty

• 5.1BN destroyed

17/11 was a Wheel of [Mis]Fortune fleet

• we rolled the wheel and got kitey cruisers and dessies & support

• yeeted and had a decent run through nullsec until we bumped into the PH standing fleet that was happy to engage (which allowed me to head out on Friday Yarrr!)

• 6.1BN destroyed

18/11 ShrinkWrapped

• Muon suggested heading to the border system where a large fight was occurring

• Content from the off

• We anchored a bubble catching from 2 in gates, and the feed began!

• 158 kills, and 9.7BN destroyed!

• Fleet of the week - with non-stop content right from the word go from once we hit nullsec

ALL IN ALL - 22.3BN isk destroyed, 226 ships destroyed!

22 billion, eh? Sounds like a productive week left to your own devices. Here's your next opportunity:

Kane Carnifex - it looks like you might have a winning entry in your hands here, but can you send us the killmail please?

Let me give you some more Context:

This kill happend in the "Mining Ambush" Site from the Pirate Insurgencies. A NPC ORE Rorqual will be hold down by NPCs and dependig who is who, you shoot the others. But true Pirates cashin the Ransom and kill you anyway :P

Therefore this is just a nice big PVE Kill which unfortunately doesn´t generate a Killmail. But let me qoute your Bounty:

We want to see the video of your best PvP or PvE kill from the last seven days,

I would love to see some of the mighty Belt Officers or some death Titans in a Sanctum :P

KOTW should defo only be focussed on PVP imho!

If a KOTW was awarded for PVE, all it would mean is you out-tanked the red crosses and read up about what ship would beat the NPCs! 😁

Alex Sinclair's avatar

Nice, thanks for the explainer Kane Carnifex. Consider yourself awarded!

FUN INC - I think that once we have a larger community with more weekly submissions, we can look at moving it to PvP only. In the meantime, it's safe to say that tricky PvP kills will be weighted in the judging process when we have both PvP and PvE submissions.

Ah yes - i see the logic - fair point!
