Another Late Nite... a tale of four Drakes
…Without any big battles (it seems most Amarr were in Imprerial space battling Sanshas), but there were a few notable occurrences.
When I got into pod, there was a clamor of calls for me to organize the typically dis-organized crews. We had some normal Late Niters, but more than a few guest pilots as well, well-known to me, but not completely savvy on the Late Nite Rules. The pilots...

With the expiration of the Faction War Report, Shalee has taken it upon herself to continue a tradition of yellow pro-faction journalistic reporting on Faction War. (Predator Elite, “one of the militia’s top commanders”?! Puh-lease…)
To her great credit, she is allowing other quite opinionated writers to participate as well, with the first guest none other than the notorious...

Readers, Lovers, Haters and Trolls of the Icy Hawt… Hello!!
After a short hiatus due to the launch of Incursion and the heavy RL workload of the Editor, the Icy Hawt is back in criculation this week. While there is a general lack of overall awesome stories, the overwhelming retardation of…
Finally past the 2K mark...
This fight finally pushed me past my 2000th kill, helping retain my tenuous position in the Top 30 aces in TLF. I will note with some satisfaction that Eran Mintor was my 2000th kill (totally icing on the cake).
Although I have long passed my 2000th all-time kills, passing 2000 within militia feels like a decent accomplishment.

Pilot Profile: Zostrallis
I was browsing some of my other pilot records kept by CONCORD and an interesting statistic jumped out at me. Of all Late Nite pilots, Zostrallis was by a wide margin my most frequent wing mate. (Sadly, she’s such a prolific destroyer of Amarr and pirates that I rank 10th on her own list.)
‘Zos’ (as she’s known to her comrades) is ranked 8th in the Minmatar militia with...

Just like the good 'ole days
Many of us in Late Nite miss the days were we could just pop over to KBP in Providence, then roam around and get into fights with CVA and their supporters, find belts filled with unwary ratters, and general wreak mayhem against Amarrians and their allies.
Even before CVA lost control of Providence, the early days quickly ended. Minmatar militia pilots were reported passing through on their way,...

I had my 11-year old daughter create my Avatar to look as much like the RL me as possible. Except for the beard, it’s admittedly pretty close.

Fail Fit of the Week
Last night, just as we were preparing for a battleship slug fest, I was called station-side to attend to an extremely urgent matter (ooc: severe wife agro). We had just caught a couple of Amarr who were trying to evade our battleship fleet; at least I was able to get on a few kills, including this Sleipnir left by his fleet mates to die a horrible death.
I missed the main battle, where Late...

Industrialist with teeth: Bait Haulers →
marlginnishi:
I admit it, the kill in a Mastodon I started this blog with isn’t too impressive, since the Mastodon is quite well tanked in itself. So I did again, this time with a Mammoth which looks like a much easier target. And it worked. Twice.
Looks like you engaging haulers in enemy hisec has…

Eytjangard Blues (Epilogue)
I woke up with the familiar feeling of being podded. Only, I wasn’t podded. I had just blown myself to plasmafied gasses, but here I was in a clone vat.
Damn, it worked. No implants yet. I coughed out the goo and asked my tech if Commodore Lianne had made it. She nodded and said Commodore Lianne’s clone had activated the same moment mine had, tech Lao was with her, and all...

Eytjangard Blues (Part 5)
Shalee looked stunned. She looked at me blankly, as if not believing her own eyes, as I helped her to her feet.
“Are you really here?” she said. Still smiling, I put my blade away and lifted her up.
“Is this over?” She sobbed and her voice shook. ”Oh god, Lora! I think they killed her…”
Lora… that must be the other person. A quick glance...

Breaking News: Massive Cap ship battle in Aug...
In what appears to be an ominous portender of the sorts of fights that we can expect once full-blown Sansha Incursions begin to take place, two cap fleets battled in Auga. Members of both militias appear to have been involved but it isn’t clear yet in what way Faction War corps participated in the battle.
Pandemic Legion looks to have dropped 13 supercarriers. Dark Rising appears to have...
Late Nite Hot Drops Amarr, Ganks on Carrier...
… and I missed it all.
With heavy support from a separate AA led fleet, Late Nite successfully hot dropped an Amarr carrier in Huola last night just off the 24th Imperial Crusade station. Numerous support ships were also killed. This pilot arrived just in time to watch wrecks being looted.
Having to leave pod to go stationside for a couple of hours, I got back to comms just in just as...

Uisper Bunker Bash
Minmatar Militia forces retook the Uisper system this afternoon with a fleet consisting mostly of stealth bombers and a few battlecruisers and battleships. The fleet was lead by different commanders over the time, Annah Kitheran being in command when the bunker fell. The only Amarr resistance encountered was a small skirmish in a plex a short time before the attack on the bunker. During the...

Amarr Miltia Drama-Fest
The complete report is best read from the latest ICY HAWT, but the summary is that CVA (Amarrian loyalists) and Core Impulse (an Amarr militia corp) hot dropped Amarrian Retribution (another Amarr militia corp) and Dragoon Federation (a pack of dirty pirates) and blew up 5 carriers, four of which belonged to Amarrian Retribution.
The attack occurred while Amarrian Retribution and Dragoon...

End of Winter Festivals brings Late Nite back to...
Although I just missed this fight, a large battlecruiser engagement where there was heavy use of logistics on both sides (a reported six guardians for the Amarr, and four scimitars for the Minmatar) but the edge in numbers and DPS for the Minmatar led to an Amarr route, with 18 losses for the Amarr and only 4 for the Minmatar.
As the headline notes, it appears that though the Amarr can continue...
