First I wanted to say thanks to our crew, that was willing to let this hit go and let me handle it. This hit would not have been possible if everyone was taking shots at baker and angling the whole time. Thanks for your confidence and patience.
Ace thanks for tracking this down with me. That was truly fun. I have never had such a useful task for google docs! I guess we need a new sheet for the next one on the list... let's see, just title that new tab Spartan
Story:
Basically just tracked baker for some time, noticed some habits developing. With enough info we saw the opening we needed that provided a better chance than the typical move in quick and fly on sitting fleet. Baker had saved about the same time of day in the same trackable pattern. From there we just watched for a good opportunity and set up and flew. We didn't want to alter the pattern so no probes before hand. Blind lanx, I am pretty sure we had this fleet +3s of its return and had it locked after the point of no return so even if Baker came on we had it....
Baker was on about 20min after hit and congratulated us. Thanks Baker! You were a good sport. I know that is a bummer coming on to see. We did miss about 800 rips we were hoping were in there and after wreck fields should leave a pretty good fleet still. If you are bouncing Good luck in RL!
Dedi to our Alliances, Together, CaDi, and NF AND our Deut Suppliers! Keep that sweet honey coming...
For those that are not supplying us consider it. It is a good way to stay off our target lists. hint hint.... get in touch with one of the larger fleets in those alliances.
