So it’s a day or so late….but I thought I needed to go ahead and share…

I was missioning in low-sec with my raven. Just got done with the mission (The Damsel) and had just finished looting Zor’s wreck for the hardwiring. Moving to Krull when suddenly I see I’m yellow boxed (insta-lock anyone?) and have been warp scrambled.
I notice I can’t get out and that it’s a frigate hull, so I just send my drones at him and pray to any god that would listen that my wraith cruise missles would do SOMETHING to this guy.
I waited for his buddies, but they never came. By the time my third missile hit, I noticed I was actually doing damage to him! I had him down to a quarter shield! Him using cov-ops had torpedoes and was taking me down, but my booster had held out just barely and I managed to pop him where he stood!
I managed to warp out JUST as his two friends had shown up and I was yellow boxed by another. I didn’t stick around long enough to see what he would throw at me.
I had gotten some kills before out in null-sec, but not many. But I have never been in a solo situation against one (three somewhat) and gotten a kill….I was excited and proud that I didn’t loose it too much and was able to maintain enough composure that I didn’t just freak like a WoW player.
Looking forward to another like this!
Note: the Killboard link is our own killboard…i haven’t decided yet if I’m gonna link us to a major killboard or keep our own private hosted one. Thoughts?


Nice escape! Its not so much an instalock as the fact that a covert ops will lock a battleship super fast and if you're not watching the yellow box will be the first you know of it.
