Having just killed two dominix, I dock up and repair my cyclone for the fifth time in a little more then 12 hours. Poor little buggers bulkheads already have hairline cracks, shes gunna die soon. I report back to the Huola gate and jump in to find a hurricane at range about to get tackled by a friendly frigate, and proceed to hold cloak until I get that confirmation on my HUD.
A friendly firetail lands point on the Hurricane, at which point a few friendly frigates joining in the fight, but as I am not in fleet with anyone, I am unsure of our numbers and getting into neut range of a Hurricane is always bad news for a Cyclone. Throwing caution to the wind, I MWD the 50km and provide heavy tackle on the target. Resigned to his fate he doesn't even try to target be, and his shields are dropping rather quick.
At this point a enemy rapier lands on the gate 50km away and now I am a little nervous. The Hurricane is dying but I am unsure if my ship will make it back to the gate in time if they have a gang en route. The Rapier starts moving at MWD speeds towards me and I know I am a goner. 45km, 38km, 30km and I lock him up. 25km, 18km (wait what? drop point on hurricane) 15km (overload warp scrambler and MWD and fly towards rapier) 10km and SCRAMMMMM. Leave the drones on the Hurricane in hull and focus fire on the rapier. Full overload, I don't care if you're in a gang you're dead mate. Hurricane explodes (artillery? you fail at life), Rapier shortly after. No one comes to help, though a few enemies jump out of the system during and after the fight. Seems we lost the hero tackling firetail. Loot the field, dock up to repair my top slots, and give the firetail pilot his share of the loot.
Apparently a friendly BC helps out a little bit, and the falcon explains the lack of locks on my hull (opens the question of why did the firetail die, however, or why the rapier pilot decided fighting in scram range was a good idea).
The pilot begins broadcasting in local communications that we shouldn't have used the ECM boat (which, seriously, arty cane and rapier? We definitely did not need his help, though appreciated) I point out that the ECM pilot did not really matter, as he stupidly brought himself into the scram range of a MWD battlecruiser. This starts a debate.

[ 2011.04.19 18:29:05 ] Aznwithbeard > lololololololoololol
::: Ending Log of Huola Local Communications :::
The pilot is under the assumption that given no jamming ships present and scrambled by a shield tanking battlecruiser capable of over 1700 M/S, his (now MWDless) Rapier with its 2x stasis webifiers could eventually gain enough range (before dying) to get himself clear of the fight.
Things to consider;
1. He has no speed modifications to his ship other then his MWD. At full power with decent skills and a shut down MWD he is moving (with average skills) approximately 240m/s.
Assuming my calculations are correct (top speed no heat = 1266 x .4 (1 web) = 506.4 x .4 (2nd web) I am going around 202m/s, which is (albeit only slightly) slower then his rapier. However, using the same formula with my MWD overheated (his DPS is piss poor, so I don't really need to worry about running the booster too much and I am cap stable until out of boosters, which I will not be any time soon), I am going approximately 287m/s, enough to keep pace with the rapier.
2. I am in a battlecruiser capable of approximately 500 DPS. He is in a lightly tanked Recon Cruiser at point blank range. Argument is now invalid.
3. his webs outreach his long points range of 24KM somewhere around completion of the training program "Recon Ships Level 3". Why was he anywhere NEAR warp scrambler range?
4. He is Amarrian. He preyed to his god to help him win this fight. His god failed him. Better read more Pax Amarria until your god loves you.
5. Matar victor.
