While I don’t hold any particular grudge against the Eve-Uni Ivy League pilots that often roam about the war zone looking for pirates and other targets, they are an irritation, and many Late-Niters feel an obligation to teach these arrogant-yet-inexperienced pilots the real hard knocks of low-sec capsuleer warfare.

Thus it was that a group of merely five Late Niters—albeit among the best pilots—found themselves facing off with a far more numerous Eve-Uni fleet in Ardar several days ago.  Even though the Late-niters chose to initiate the fight and face gate guns, the results were predictable.  11 Eve-Uni ships down, the rest fleeing, with one loss (albeit a much nicer ship) by Manos.

Well, Eve-Uni was apparently spoiling for revenge.  A few days later, they re-appeared and this time engaged the Late-Niters,  with no less than 5 blackbirds and swarms of ECM drones, and all taking a criminal flag.  With most of their fleet perma-jammed, the late niters took heavy losses but still managed to kill 9 enemy ships.  Some cockiness on the part of the Late Niters may have contributed to the losses, methinks.

Finally, last night the Eve Uni fleet learned some lessons in CONCORD Kill Rights.  Having GCC’ed against LP, many of these Eve Uni pilots failed to note that he now had kill rights against them.  A strong fleet of late-niters pursued the Eve Uni fleet in Amamake, and when pinned against the Osoggur gate, they jumped to what they perceived as the safety of high-sec.

LP, having scanned his kill-rights list and noting at least a few of the Eve-Uni fleet pilots on the list, jumped his Abaddon into their fleet, and proceeded to lock up and pop two pilots before the rest realized what was happening and warped to safety.  The rest of us lurked nearby, hoping that the other Eve-Uni pilots would foolishly agress LP and let us pop them, but alas, it was not to be.

We can only hope that we can provoke more Eve-Uni pilots into GCCing in the future…
