Rebel Roam In Destroyers


Starwalker had killed this Incursus, cyno-ship and pod but the highlight of the week was that he had joined the Rebel roam that was themed around destroyers. He had elected to fly a Corax for no real reason other than it was a Caldari destroyer and he liked rockets. The fit was simple and straightforward:

[Corax, MWD Ancillary Shield Booster]

Pseudoelectron Containment Field I
Ballistic Control System II


Limited 1MN Microwarpdrive I
J5b Phased Prototype Warp Scrambler I
X5 Prototype Engine Enervator
Medium Ancillary Shield Booster


Rocket Launcher II,Scourge Rage Rocket

Small Anti-EM Screen Reinforcer I
Small Bay Loading Accelerator I
Small Processor Overclocking Unit I



The Corax lasted four jumps when the fleet ran into a battle going on in Heydieles at the gate. It was an opportunity too good to miss and the fleet set to work killing targets: Navitas, Ishkur, Enyo and Wolf. Inevitably Starwalker lost his Corax but he was happy, it had taken down four other ships before dying in a fire.

Starwalker jumped into a Merlin and continued on with the Rebels. This Hawk was simply unlucky, wrong place at the wrong time, he jumped through as the Rebels were waiting on the gate. The pilot, Sparky999, thought he had been insta-locked but that wasn't the case and his surprise at not making it back to the gate was misplaced - there was simply too much firepower for him to survive.


A few jumps later and a Comet and Condor were playing with the fleet on gate. Neither of them were flashy red and so Starwalker knew not to engage. The Comet aggressed and Starwalker opened fire but he was out of range but Patrick Kasper killed it quickly. Meanwhile he saw that the Condor was tracking disrupting his Merlin and assumed it had aggressed and so he opened fire on it too but he then took gate gun fire.

Starwalker realised his mistake instantly and aligned to the sun to warp out. His shields were only depleted by 25% so with some luck he would warp and escape in time. He did not have the luck and just as his warp drive engaged he was destroyed.
