We let the BAF| know of our presense in Cambridge and we moved to the New London jumpgate after two failed attempts to pirate transports. We saw an indie Templar and one of the two engaged him and then shortly after a BAF| templar jumped and I engaged him. Then more of you started jumping, two paladins and 2 battleships but only 1 Paladin engaged. After the Templar died, another one jumped, on a bomber this time and engaged us but he only hugged the jumpgate and your battleships and after he got drained he jumped to other side and escaped successfully as there was yet another BAF| templar waiting there.
Your whole group jumped after us in New London and the bystander Paladin also engaged, that makes it the 5th ship to join the fight against the same 2 fighters. At one point I was drained and asked for a refill from the other fighter while your Paladins kept restocking each other with the help of the templar. After I was whittled down to 50% hull again, I successfully nuked one of your paladins that had 25 nanobots after being restock and I grabbed those and repaired myself. Then the other templar joined the fight and shorty after we killed the other paladin. Then yet another templar arrived and engaged and I asked for nanobots from the other fighter (which was pretty low on nanobots mind you). Few minutes after, a fighter joins our side and afterwards I die and the 4rth fighter on our side jumped in.
We didn't hunt NPCs for the nanobots, there was hardly any time for that as we had a swarm focusing us. We traded nanobots twice so far. After I died, more on your side arrived and we eventually died.
Long story short, despite your overwhelming numbers, bot trading and jumpgate hugging, we enjoyed the encounter.
