Someone called in some friends to 'deal' with the two dozen or so pirates that are enjoying freedom of movement in sector 369. This new alliance, 222bk, is playing the role of sector police. They talk tough, and have a buddy alliance named JUP with them, who drives submarine fleets to every engagement.
222bk_Nico came in and started spamming coordinates in comms, of all the pirates that have been giving the sector a hard time. I laughed, and said something smart to him. He posted his base coords after launching his Yellow and Orange HammerHeads, Dreadnaughts and Scorpions. I explained to him that players that use their wallet don't impress me. He started to explain how he is not a 'coiner' and he heard that we've been harassing the peaceful players of this sector long enough, and that it's time to pay.
Nico sent 3 yellow HH fleets and a dreadnaught fleet, and JUP sent at least two submarine fleets to my base first. He sent the dreadnaught in, after scouting my base. I told him which direction to come at me from, and that he should use a missile fleet if he wants to get the job done. He ignored me and lost a fleet of 2 dreadnaughts and 3 yellow HHs. I giggled and made good fun of him in comms. Then he attacked a handful of other free pirate players in our group. Same result. Free 18 hour bubbles for everyone, thanks man.
I sent 8 fleets of 1 longship to his base, and probed every one of his colorful guardfleets. One fleet was all siege cannon HH's, but every single other ship was a d53 assault missile setup, with booster3. There wasn't even enough time since the booster came out, to refit all those ships with those missiles, and missiles were near pointless before booster. His plastic fleets aren't worth hitting... at least not while he's online. I told him that he should leave them out, and that I'll sink them while he's offline. He dock'd them all before logging out, and the adjacent sector came in and smashed him. I laughed.
222bk Irishman has some very nice fleets, and the next day he waltz'd right thru my base with barely any damage. The large pinch helped, but his 3 speedy dreadnaughts with siege mortars made short work of my nearly finished base defenses. I thank him for the bubble and congratulate him, explaining that Nico, for all his glitz and glamor, couldn't do the job that Sorry_For_Ya sent them for.
Every single day, I ask.. 'Is this still a no-hit sector'. The first couple days, the locals would fiercely defend the fact that there is no insector hitting allowed here and that I should leave, that I'm a coward and a bubble boy and blah blah blah. It's day 5 now. Now when I ask, I get no answer. When we arrived, all the minefields were taken in every drac field, and almost every single base had guards and no bubble. Now they all buddy bubble before bed, guardfleets are very rare, and almost no one mines at all. Their salvage armada is now one ship, the one hitting salvage, and they guard it till their cargo ships show up. It's a shame, I enjoyed killing multiple heavy fleets while they painstakingly torpedo's the level 8 salvages.
They still talk tough though. Very tough.
