Our scout warped to the moon and quickly identified that the freighter was sitting at the pos and the pos was unanchoring. Due to the distance involved he was forced to bookmark the pos and warp out and back in to get the tackle. There were a few nailbiting moments while he warped as we expectantly humped the gate to the system. The call went out that the freighter was tackled and we dived in. As we shot into warp to the target our tackler reported he was being damped by a lachesis and had lost the lock!. Fortunately he was able to get close enough to retackle and we swiftly arrived and dispatched both lachesis and freighter.

Note token noobship on killmail

We then loitered around the area getting a few more kills (involving a funny fight with a myrm and a raven were PL couldnt engage so me and a couple of sniggs had to kill them with our terrible dps which took forever). Once the tower unanchored we grabbed it and i was happy with the thoughts of my 100mill share of the profits.


The Next Day

The next day i logged in within the ussad system and immediately got another gang invite from a PL guy. Accepting i asked what was going on i was quickly told

Fitzwilli > there is a tower unachoring in ussad firk

Another tower i thought? Turns out it was the same guy unanchoring a tower from the night before. Happy at grabbing a medium TS tower we sent some scouts out to check near by systems and low and behold

Fitzwilli > go to 5 3
Fitzwilli > plantet 5 moon 3
Firkragg > rgr
Firkragg > lol another tower

We found a few more after that. Turns out this guy was unanchoring all his POS towers in the area at the exact same time. He kept trying to get to towers before us but we managed to scoop all but one taking our grand total to

1 Large Caldari Tower
1 Large Amarr Tower
1 Large Shadow Serpentis Tower
1 Medium True Sansha Tower

My share came to a cool 350mill isk and never again will i leave a system without checking system for POS and forcefields

As a tasty after treat we also found a hurricane autopiloting through low sec

I hope this story was interesting enough for the eve pirate readers. The next one i write will be filled with pics and more shooting i promise but i couldnt let the tale of the worse pos manager in existance go untold . I must give a big thanks to Gneeznow and all the other snigg and PL crew who i had a wild few days flying with.
