Hulkageddon Suicide Ganks

Starwalker was in Tividu picking up some data cores and this happened to be just 8 jumps from Kador Prime where Kaeda Maxwell was preparing for some Hulkageddon suicide ganks. It was too good an opportunity to miss and so he joined the fleet, where Kaeda even supplied the T1 Thrasher, ammunition and fittings.

It was not long before a target was spotted in Khafis but it was either nervous or just finishing mining operations because it docked up. However, that initial excitement and disappointment was soon gone as another Hulk was found in Amdonen. 

The fleet warped in and locked up the target and fired with Starwalker doing the same. Nothing happened - Starwalker had to acknowledge the message that he wanted to fire! He did and Rum Stiltskin and his Hulk were shot and killed. Concord arrived soon afterwards and then Starwalker was in his pod heading back to Kador Prime.

It was his first suicide gank and it had been a success. It was perhaps more exciting to have targets shoot back but this was fun too. However, the next potential victim was lucky due to a mix up with bookmarks when using out of corporation/fleet scouts - no fleet warp in. By the time the bookmark had been transferred to someone in fleet the Hulk had left the system.

Iader Saimon was in a Hulk in Khafis and the Rebel fleet arrived at the scene and locked him up. Starwalker had his overview set to fleet and realised the error of his ways as the Hulk position moved in the overview and Starwalker targeted a fleet member instead. He cancelled the lock and reacquired the Hulk but it was too late - he was dead. So instead of dying with his fleet mates he witnessed Concord blowing up his fellow Rebels.

Starwalker immediately reset the overview to "combat" and returned to base. He got it right the next two times as Maxim Thodt and Drannar Deddog went down. Dreksl also found it amusing to get in on Starwalker's death to Concord. However, what was more amusing was Kaeda Maxwell entering local on the way to Kothe and a local shouting a warning that he had arrived. The warning did not save Serena Jarati who was either too slow or did not see it. 

The final suicide bank of the night was located in Kamda and the fleet warped out. However, a Raptor on gate was very fast and managed to snag Kaeda Maxwell as the fleet jumped in. Fortunately Kaeda's scout Kohana Maxwell was part of the fleet and able to provide the final warp in. It was Deathamarr's turn to die and he did but not before launching drones onto Starwalker.

Starwalker had great fun. It was his first time on a suicide gank and over the course of a few hours he had been on five kills and two loss mails. It was also a timely reminder of how dangerous the Destroyers are, especially in a gang.
