UPDATE 25th DEC:
Looks like our numbers are going to be much lower than normal - I guess people are planning on being too hungover to fly internet spaceships tomorrow! So let's plan on fitting for gank - HSSR.
Any frigate or destroyer of your choice, fit for gank, fit for speed (mwd or ab), figure somewhere in the roughly 6km-15km optimal range.
Have a medium or large shield extender available in case we get one or two flying logi frigates, which if we do, let's go with shield logi frigates instead of armor. Thinking shield will be better since our gang will be about 1/3rd the normal size.
Still would be really cool if someone could scan out a wormhole or two to provide us a nifty backdoor into some random nullsec region or another
=========================
Twas the day after Christmas, and all through null space,
The pirates were gate camping, such a disgrace!
Their snowballs were flying with nary a care,
In hopes that Agony soon would be there!
The Alumni were nestled all snug in their pods,
With dreams of explosions, they formed up their squads!
And Greygal the FC, then said with much glee,
It's time to undock and make them all flee!
Santa came early to New Eden, bringing us so many new and revamped shiny toys to unwrap and play with! As is traditional for the day after Christmas, it's time to go out and show all our friends and neighbors what Santa brought us for Christmas!
For this roam, we're going to play with the all-new Destroyers and the new logistic ("support") frigates!
Fit out one to three of the new Destroyers of your choice, using the fits listed below as a guide (feel free to use T1 mods instead of T2 mods depending upon your skills/wallet).
For those who are willing and able to do so, one logistic Frigate of your choice (Inquisitor or Navitas), fit for remote armor repping. If you're choosing to play with your shiny new logi frig, have one or two Destroyers on hand also, on the off chance we have too many logi frig pilots and not enough Destroyer pilots (although an all-logi frig fleet could be evil fun...) I'll post suggested fits for the Inquisitor and Navitas later today.
Yes, I know armor-tanked Destroyers and remote-armor-repping logi frigs sound insane, I'll explain the reasoning in voice before we head out
Here are suggested fits for the new Destroyers for this roam:
Talwar
Corax
Algos
Dragoon
Form up in Berta (Sendaya for you flashies) by 21:00. We'll spend about 15 minutes going over the basics of flying a fleet with logistical support, broadcasting, anchoring, and do a quick practice or two on it then we'll head out into nullsec and see what kind of trouble we can cause!
This fun roam is open to all PVPU Alumni and also to all our friends who are currently a member of the Amarr Faction Warfare Militia. There is no cost for this roam. I expect to roam for around two hours, but don't be surprised if we're still flying around as the sun comes up.
Please RSVP to this party by posting below using our usual sign-up format:
Forum Name - Character Name (TICKER)
This roam is free, and will be held on Agony's Teamspeak server. The FC will be me, Greygal unless I can sweet talk someone else to do it Good thing I have Sweet Talk V trained, but it's a chance-based mod!
HIGHLY recommend cheap/empty clones. Don't say I didn't warn you....
If you would like to try your hand at scouting or skirmishing, please state so in your post below and have appropriate ships available in
Berta, along with spare frigates. I should have enough Agony support to fill these roles, but just in case we don't, good to have backups available.
If you have experience as a logistics officer and are willing to lead the logistics squad and keep them organized, please state so in your post below!
If you have the time and are willing to do some scanning an hour or so before the roam, I think it would be terrific if we could find a
wormhole or three that provides us with some back-doors into nullsec. I don't mind throwing us at the usual gate camps in Doril and/or HED-GP, but that's getting kind of predictable and boring... and ya'll know what happens when I get bored...
Remember, I'm better at poetry than I am at FCing, so expect to die! This roam is for fun, giggles, and explosions, of course! Alcohol recommended, sense of humor required!
