Every time I showed my face, was like a mad crazy pile on... Hardly got to fire a shot.... Most dissatisfied, to top it all off I angered a station. Woops.

Yea, we hit heads a few times. And at the end, A lot of your side angered the station more times than anything. xD
I know what ya mean mate
Saw you a few times but don't think I battled you once.
Once an interdiction was won on either side it was carnage

Im only one poor tiny little pilot in a FDL.... Was quite flattered to be attacked by so many pilots, even had 1 FDL and 3 Condas focusing me at one point.... But it did mean the others Had time to recoup. Ordeal?? The fact that it was so hard to undermine us, or that I chose to defend my clan? Do tell. Shame we couldn't meet in even wings.... But I hear our boys gave you a run for your money.
Anyways dare say I will see you soon.

Dunno where your getting the three Anacondas from, out of the seven people we had, only one of us had a Conda. The rest were pythons and FDL's.
Ya'll got got.
The 3 Anacondas and FDL wing is somewhat unrelated. They interdicted me while i was scouting. I tried to contact them to see if they were here to help EXO. They chose to continue to attack, so i instanced a PBSF wing in and we sent them running. No Casualties though, afterward i tried to contact them and still nothing. More than likely someone down the Pipeline knows the and they only came out for some old good PvP.
I will have to admit the instancing was terrible. Crypto and his wings ganked quite a few EXO caught without a wing while re-instancing. Though i would have done the same. But i had heard of a few decent fights between their wings.
To bad i could not get in on the action. I was waiting for PBSF to inform me on their decision to enter into a temporary cease fire to aid them against the Coalition. But while i sat around i saw some crazyness...
EXO had at least 4 solid wings and an unimaginable amount of random EXO scouting instances.
PBSF had 2 Wings that showed up later.
Military Militia Had 2 Wings in system within an hour
Corvos had 1 Wing on standby started early this morning.
Cryptos Coalition had 2 Wings around the system all day.
Then you had random fuel rats, and others looking for PvP.

Is there still any action to be had?
I have no side...just a lonely raven with no one to call my own
Wow, it was pretty fun night after all. At least the most action I've seen during my short piloting career.
I had four decent duels (1-on-1s), but unfortunately none of the attempts to enter the same instance in a wing worked... which is a shame, since that's exactly what I had built my FAS for.
Short summary:
1. Before the things started really heating up at Wolf 1301, I had a semi friendly duel with a guy called "Brandon" something, he flying a FdL with four medium multicannons. I didn't catch the huge hardpoint, maybe a cannon? We agreed to fight until hull is under 30 %, which was respected. The fight went pretty quickly to a turning game, with shots interchanged at every window of opportunity. After spending several rounds of SCBs, I decided to ram while firing few shots with rails. This worked surprisingly well, I actually accidentally brought his hull down to 1 % without noticing. Well, he said goodbyes and waked away. Good fight, I'd say. I tried many times to have a rematch on the course of the events, but the pilot waked away after a successful interdiction. (or tried to gank me in a wing).
- Then there was a countless number of attempts to get into the same instance in a wing, without a wing and of course guys ganking (can't blame you since this was probably the same from other sides as well). And many times escaping a ganking attempt. I almost decided to let it be, but then there was two or three pretty decent fights I got into.
2. Python interdicted me. Can't remember the name of the pilot. This was actually the first serious fight with a Python I've gotten in my FAS, so I was somewhat nervous what to do. Again, things went pretty quickly to a turning game. I tried and tried to take the shields down, but those SCBs just kept pumping the glowing things back. I figured FAS is really nimble ship for its weight. I actually literally tried if I could just fly circles around the Python and I could, though, that's not a very good idea considering the damage output. The problem is, if it gets to a turning game, you eventually make couple of mistakes here and there and a Python can really tear FAS's shields quickly when its facing you. I guess an experienced pilot won't let this happen, but I'm bound to make mistakes here and there. Well, I high waked after I got a soccer ball sized hole in my front glass (which made targeting a bit difficult too
)
3. Lock'n'reload and countless ganking attempts. Few attempts to instance with a wing without success. What started a ganking attempt by two Pythons, turned out to be a pretty fun fight after all. Again, can't remember the pilot's name, but seemed to be the only Python I encountered running prismatic shields. First, the two Pythons were just chasing me while I was popping chaff and SCBs to keep my shields up. Eventually, the other Python left and I guess the prismatic shield one was up for some 1-on-1 action. This time I was a bit wiser than in the first fight, trying to give less chance of the Python facing me. Though, again it went to turning games. Man, those prismatic shields were hard to take down, but at least I made the pilot to cycle few rounds of SCBs. I think it was going pretty well, but after some time my shields went down and I continued until maybe 14 % hull left and high waked to repair my ship. I think one should just try to hug Python's aft, no matter how gay that sounds. In turning games you're bound to make a mistake if you're not very good, which gives a nasty window of opportunity to the Python. Well, next time I guess I'll be able to give a better challenge. And anyways, Python when outfitted is at least double the price compared to FAS. Actually, makes me want to try to outfit one for combat... it just requires some serious credit grinding.
4. I was already about to go to sleep when I found out a FdL was interdicting me - and not in a wing! I thought I could have one more duel before going to sleep. This time it was Crypto54 (if I recall right) I guess it was a pretty good match-up, I tried to use as an advantage every point where the FdL was turning to charge again to another attack. Crypto54 can probably comment how it looked from his side, but I think I was able to give some trouble every now and then. Unfortunately another commander in FdL joined the fight (on the wrong side from my point-of-view) and I decided to go back to the station and called it a night.
Afterall it was tons of fun. To me, it was first really good PvP stuff this far. I think there was a decent smell of danger in the air. The instancing problems of course spoiled 80 % of the time spent... and it was a shame I didn't get into any fight in a wing, since I think it's there where FAS really shines. Anyways, the short moments in between the instancing problems I think I haven't had so much fun in Elite this far.

Oh and forgot to reply yesterday, sorry. Didn't even know you were coming, I was out waiting where you trade to ro.. I mean to say hi, maybe have a cop of coffee have a little chat.

Not only was instancing bad but I had some bad rubberbanding issues, and that is very bad if you use projectile weapons.

Regarding the "Ganking" you seem to mention.
I do not condone to calling out certain players due to their ingame actions, but when you mention 'Ganking" i must respond.
EXO Seems to favour the word "Ganking" and seem to accuse players of such behaviour on a constant basis, but what they fail to mention is what happen during our first battle.
Supposedly we agreed to have 2 wings engage eachother from either sides but EXO seemed to have other plans and quickly tried to arrange for 3 wings to drop down before our second wing was able to join the fight.
Our wing succesfully managed to drop on our wake, but we were still outnumbered 7 to 9, Even when the odds where against us we decided to stay and fight in a battle we knew we would loose (This is our first wing battle against EXO).
The tide of the battle quickly changed as the players from EXO one by one started to High wake out of a system just to appear in supercrusie a moment later and continue the battle.
Some EXO members allegedly tried to Instance block us so they could gain an even better advantage of a battle of which they outnumbered us 4 to our 1.
Our losses where minimal with only 3 player deaths, Compared to their 10+ of which i would even raise to around 20+ EXO, PBSF and Military Militia losses.
But to this you responded by camping the station and engaging our pilots whenever we left to Re arm. Most of these attempts resulted in failure seeing as how you lost 2 Vultures to your station but i digress.
One rather funny encounter which occured as i left system was the sudden appearance of a lone Ip1lot in his DBS stealth build. My shields were already down due to my previous battle and my hull was at a merely 73%, but i took that as a challenge and interdicted Ip1lot to which he also responded to by High walking out of system. (Rather odd coming from a players who has threatened to Destroy me until i'm sent back to a sidewinder)
The battle of Wolf 1301 was great and i'm not alone when i say that everyone who participated enjoyed what happened last night.
