or just take it as (whatever time you spend in local reading how shit you are in local + time to warp back to gate bored) + then being laughed at for 'running away' while jumping through 3 gates and pissed off going back for promised gfgf + not having a fight if they die too fast at the station undock despite having bigger number OR 1 carrier for every 4 undocked.

SIGH
You say that sarcastically but that would actually be boss for me.

correction you must be confusing MM wit the old br1ck, new br1ck is like watching all the parts about old br1ck that scooter+ darius+ all of the decent FC's, hated and putting it into the discreet package that came with the fail ME and other assorted northern corps.
Are you surprised, really? I'm not. You need decent to good FCs, you need co-ordination, need leadership. It doesn't take long for the wheels to fall off the wagon, it can take a whole lot longer to get new wheels. Most of the decent/good MM FCs I flew under I don't think are playing anymore. It has been the nature of NC fighting, have always had massive fleets be they sub-cap or cap and it wasn't a good learning environment for potential new FCs.
I assume MM is still heavy in the EUTZ, can someone give me a quick rundown of which TZ the other major entities are in? I know something useful in a kugu post is a lot to ask but someone might step up to the plate.
I wouldn't be surprised if the bomber fleets are mostly off-peak fleets, if this is the only thing they are doing in euro time then their leadership needs to extract the digit a bit faster. Even if they are not in Delve for sov, if they want to train up potential FCs then they have to start adapting to the current trends in sub-cap fighting.
Ya, I don't think Test has been a major player in Delve in terms of regular fleet presence, but they are a ummm...."structural" factor. Without Test and AAA guiding the course of events, there`s a lot more room for mm etc to maneuver. I think it will come down to whether nulli want to be big dick players or if they`re still pets. They`re definitely not terrible, so it would be interesting to see how they do when the batphone doesnt get answered, or at least gets less reliable.
Black Legion are parasites and only a factor as the extension of someone else`s will to coordinate a proper defense or offense, but gd are they a good looking bunch!
To be honest I would say that TEST has a far larger presence than AAA does. I rarely if ever see AAA fleets in Delve, however I have regularly seen and fought TEST fleets. I think AAA's presence is more of the big guy in the back of the room, kind of like goons. Not really a threat on a daily basis because of distance, but anyone trying to invade knows that if we cant hold our own, we can always batphone in support from them.
If I'm wrong about any of this, I don't give a shit:
Brick probably have a large EU presence now and a sizable US one as well.
BORG are all EU.
MM are well split between US and EU.
RZR are almost entirely EU.
Nulli can field good numbers in both US and EU.
Vera Cruz is Brazilian, so US TZ.
AIF is Australian.
Hun is EU.
Chaot is US.
Gents are unicorns.
Black Legion is US.

wait jeffm8er is in origin?
That's a real cool meme bro just what jogyn was looking for
TEST is abandoning all assets in Delve to go back up goonbros in Dek.
BL is roaming around in search of ~gudfites~
MM, brick and an assortment of others are still locked in some sort of quasi-sov war. MM reships to bombers if they don't outnumber 3-1.
Nulli are engaged with in the sov war with brick and friends, but are doing a decent job of buttfucking brick caps.
Brick continues to lose lots of capitals.
I can't think of anything else really. Someone else can feel free to fill in the blanks.
[B]I PAID 25 EUROS FOR A SIG AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS SHITTY TROLL ATTEMPT[/B]
Sure.
Broneck/MM/BspaceOspaceRspaceG have had their sov grab attempts continually denied and rejected. The most recent attacks were on MO- and NOL-, of which both were safely rescued by S2N/CHAOT/HUN/ROL (someone please give our coalition a name). Last night said coalition had to head out to Querious to help defend a FAIL station system, during with time Broneck were able to pull together a 200 man ihub bashing fleet (assorted supers and shield bcs) to tackle M5-, which was very much unexpected. That ihub comes out tonight, I would imagine a fight will occur since the system is in its final timer.
I realize that's a pretty weak regional update, but no serious fights have occurred over the past few weeks within the region. If I had to give a TL;DR of the events that have transpired, "structure violencing, lolbombers" would suffice.
Edit: Dammit Vonq
Damn it MM put yo tech jewgold to good use. Hire Brack Region.
"It pains me to say it but you are a good poster." - Vonq
Vonq and spaceships covered everything afaik.
Here is an attempt,
Major players in the area are the following;
Southern Coalition:
Nulli Secunda
Hun Reloaded
Vera Cruz
Chaos Theory
Other players are -A- and Cascade Imminent, who send fleets over sometimes depending on if they're asked or if there are interesting timers. Cascade are mostly focused around Querious, which Razor are hitting.
Then there's the aptly named Refugee Coalition which currently includes;
Morsus Mihi
BORG
Brick Squad
These players are in Delve mostly, with Razor sometimes coming over to assist.
Then there's the Clusterfuck;
TEST
Convicted
Gentleman's Agreement
However these guys are mainly fighting over in Dek, so they only sometimes show up and the RC has been hitting their space.
Then there's the neutral group, mainly Black Legion.
Overall the current situation is all follows. Brick attack are focused primarily around northern delve near the entrance to Sakht, they have taken some unclaimed space there and are also hitting Chaos space there. The south has been defending Chas space successfully, and has managed to take a couple other systems up there from Brick. However the south has not yet managed to completely remove Brick sov from the area. Regarding fights over the space, Brick has defended mostly with bombers, but has used battleship fleets/a-hac's/and supers on occasion. Brick time their I-hub's for late US TZ, which means there's usually not much else to help them, which is perhaps why they use bombers. Bricks have lost a bunch of caps so far in 2 hotdrops, as well as an aeon which BL. caught and the south whored on.
Meanwhile, BORG with help from Bricks and MM have been pushing hard on the Gentlemen's Agreement constellation, so far a few strat ops have managed to prevent them from capturing the area but they seem intent on taking it. BORG's conventional fleets are very small, but they have the most active supers so far seen. Otherwise, you will usually see a few BORG in MM or Brick fleets. MM has yet to make any serious sov pushes themselves, but help with fleets (mostly bombers though) in most of the sov contests.
In Querious and Arida, Razor have been taking moons and fighting Cascade, so that theater of operations is related to Delve but sort of different. The Delve southerners have helped Cascade in Q and Cascade has helped S2n and co in Delve, depending on the situation. In Delve, loads of fights have also happened over neo moons as a sideshow to the sov contests, and that has actually been pretty entertaining.
The fights that have occurred have been mostly fun, but the RC resorts to bombers alot, probably due to a combination of southern numbers and relative fleet comp comparatively.
As of now, S2N took NOL from TEST and killed the MM TCU on-lining there after TEST made it clear they withdrew from the region. Reinforcement timers continue across the region has the RC continues to push.
Would S2N/CHAOT/HUN be interested in joining The Clusterfuck South? Then you'd have a name!![]()
Seeing as this is a place for it...
Did you guys know that the pirates in Aridia, seem to have more money then all of TEST Alliance...
In the last hour ive seen more faction ships in a fleet since PL got smug in the north.
protip they run 5s all day
Sigged himself retarded.
With the onset of this conflict in Delve and just after Black Legion's arrival in the region, Montolio gave a motivational speech to TEST and announced that they would deploy to Delve to pacify the region as increasing amounts of sbus were being onlined and infrastructure being attacked. TEST came with a 220 man fleet to NOL but were immediately met with 120 Nulli Secunda and 40 Black Legion that made short work of them. No hard feelings were felt, however, as shortly after this fight, TEST brokered a deal with the Delve residents to synchronize standings and form a coalition against the incoming refugee coalition. This saw TEST, Gents and AIF, all blue and members of the Clusterfuck coalition bluing up with Chaot, Hun, Nulli Secunda, and possibly Vera Cruz. Nulli Secunda was already blue with the Querious bloc and the coming weeks would see increasing amounts of activity from them to assist Nulli on major operations in Delve.
Meanwhile from the other side, the Refugee Coalition was growing in size: BORG took in a few new corps and swelled to 900 members up from its original 400. Br1ck grew from 600 members to a whopping 2200 members in the span of just a few days as it took in many former Majesta and RAGE corps. Meanwhile MM continued to bleed members -- whether this was due to cutting of inactive members or people simply leaving is not clear to me. Razor was also seen in the area killing a few supers in Querious, but so far, has only appeared at a single fight in IT style shield-tanked pulsepocs.
Black Legion, of smugposting, PL alt corp fame was the only somewhat neutral party present. After their initial fight working with Nulli Secunda against TEST, they were soon approached and contracted to do as much damage to the refugee coalition as possible. Black Legion refused to blue TEST's blues and instead opted to work with the Delve holders on major ops, but kept neutral standings with all but TEST in order to allow for additional roaming opportunities. However, most of the damage done by Black Legion was focused squarely upon Brick Squad, including the destruction of an Aeon that was found afking and drifting 70km outside the POS shields.
With the sides formed up, after only a week or two, TEST received the call to honor -- they would fulfill their obligation to Goons and abandon Delve in an effort to save Deklein from the increasing pressure of NCdot, PL, Raiden, Ev0ke, and WN. Gents would follow them along with AIF, though I never really saw AIF anyway because they're Australian. With TEST gone, it was up to Nulli Secunda to take up the mantle of administrators of the coalition, and since doing so, they've recently captured NOL while planning and leading all major ops against Br1ck, BORG, and MM. So far, they have proved their mettle with 150+ man fleets with mostly everyone in the ship that was expected of them and flying with the right fits and under their guidance, all refugee attacks on sov have been repelled.
At times, these attacks met with crushing defeats for the refugees -- with Brick having lost an aeon in an embarrassing way recently, it was only several days later that they lost 15 conventional capitals on a midpoint pos, with a nyx narrowly escaping. Whether these repeated losses will lead to internal strife is unclear. Time will tell if Chib's leadership will see them through this. At the same time, MM and Br1ck have become exceedingly efficient with bomber gangs, wreaking havoc several times on their battleship heavy foes. Meanwhile, angry internal alliance mails from BORG have been leaked showing a surprising amount of resentment for MM after having handed over an R64 moon that they captured.
As it stands now, the sov map looks about the same as it did before the start of this conflict, the only significant change being NOL now being held by Nulli. Despite the consistent sov grinding, the holders have not given any indication of flagging participation -- most likely due to consistent morale boosts in the form of capital kills. On the other hand, Br1ck has proved persistent in their constant poking and jabbing at infrastructure and sov. The primary target for the refugees in recent days have been Gents space, specifically MO-, with BORG repeatedly and angrily stating that this will be their new home. With Gents deployed in Deklein, this is likely a wise choice. However, MM still insists that they are not here for sov, and despite the loss of Imperian, the renowned FC and alliance leader, Vlade Randal and Traderjohn have taken over and done well to keep morale high so far.

Yeah
Here's a kb br

At least when we whelp fleets, we do it in style:
http://killboard.nullisecunda.com/?a...d&kll_id=32802
has a more accurate representation of refugee coalition losses.
I was out looking for a good fight, and got one. Knew yall had a fleet up, but some bad intel on what/where(was also reported to me as being engaged), so went for it. Overall was a very fun fight to FC, even though I knew we were fucked as soon as the BS fleet bridged in on us![]()
GJ bringing the fight Refugees!
well in all fairness a 2nd reinforcement fleet (which was alot bigger) turned up at the end of the fight, where we were made to run. Seems like a good call to me :X
