I love combat in w-space. In my opinion it's the best in the game. There are some instances though when people generally avoid combat in w-space, such as on a wormhole that leads to high security space, but it does happen from time to time.
One such opportunity presented itself yesterday. A Transmission Lost pilot, Draconic, was utilizing a hi-sec wormhole that was at the other end of a chain which opened up as a K162 into our system; he was moving in some ships and supplies and had garnered the attention of a small Wayward 7 gang.
On his way out Draconic, our resident pedo-bait by the way, spotted a Harbinger and Drake sitting on the hi-sec side of the wormhole. I decided to go sit on the w-space side of that wormhole and keep an eye on things. Not long after I arrived in my covert Proteus a Phobos landed on the wormhole and bubbled up.
Now I'm not sure what these guys were thinking would happen. It's possible that they were waiting for Draconic to get back and try to kill him when he jumped back into the wormhole, but were they under the impression that he would jump in with a Harby and Drake chilling out at the hole? If so he would be able to jump right back out. Maybe they were hoping some other ships would be coming to access hi-sec and the ships in k-space would jump in, but why leave them in k-space? It's not like someone watching d-scan would jump to the wormhole with a Phobos on it, but not with the two battle-cruisers. Like I said, I don't know what they were thinking.
Nevertheless, I did intend on killing them. Draconic was on his way back with a heavily-tanked bait-Abaddon and while I was waiting I'd also seen a Tengu arrive and cloak up on the hole. It was obvious these guys had no idea I was there, which was perfectly fine with me. They were under the impression that they were going to net some easy kills in this "tarp" of theirs.
Guys from Loveshack, our home system, were already shipped up and sitting on the other side of the wormhole one system back.
A few minutes later Draconic jumped through the wormhole. Remaining cloaked I moved toward the wormhole, but kept my distance. We could never kill the Phobos since he could jump the wormhole as soon as he got in trouble. I waited for the Tengu to decloak then dropped my own cloak and immediately engaged him. Draconic's Abaddon drew the Harbinger and Drake in behind him.
At this point a hostile Proteus decloaked and engaged us, but our own gang was coming onto grid and the enemy began to flee through the wormhole to hi-sec. Unfortunately, their Harby had followed the Abaddon too far off of the wormhole and could not make it back before his ship and pod were destroyed.
While we looted the field a Wayward 7 Hound decloaked and launched a bomb. Bravo, sir! Once again I have no clue what you were thinking, but who am I to judge?
