Delve Day One

I and one other wingmate finally arrived in Delve, and after logging in for a quick 30 minute session, I checked the map for "average pilots active" and found that NOL- happily had 30. Smiling, I headed over there and waited on the station with a Scorch bomb. Sure enough, some time goes by and a Coercer undocks. I shrugged and sent a bomb his way, then warped off. I sighed as no damage message informing me I had hit someone came up.

Then I suddenly see a message in local.

Durendale Zukuri > oh no
Durendale Zukuri > my empty itty

What? Then I checked my kills, and sure enough, there was a killmail for an Iteron there. Apparently the Coercer had warped off while an Iteron undocked a second later.

After the Iteron kill, everyone in local began smacking for some odd reason. I thought that you normally smacked after you had killed someone else, not the other way around, but obviously in Delve the rules are different.

Durendale Zukuri > or a sapce hold ing alliance
Durendale Zukuri > boosh

At first I had dismissed SamHandwich's threat of a doomsday as a joke or smack, but sure enough, within a few minutes a Leviathan appeared on scan. I guess us two in Stealth Bombers must be pretty scary, eh? Scary enough to pull a titan, anyway. I wonder what they'll throw at us when the full Black Ops fleet arrives.

I also spotted a neutral (probably Triumvirate) Strategic Cruiser flying around, but I didn't have the firepower to take it down with only two bombers. I soon had to log off, but not before I wasted another bomb on that Coercer.

  1. Nice work! SBs work better using a covert cyno than trying to use gates. You should talk to the guys in Dirt Nap Squad and see if they'll share some pointers.

    You sir, have made my day.
    Thank you.
