The best part about good bombing runs is how utterly and soul-crushingly demoralizing they are. You log in for your REDPENCTACTA, listen to nerds yell at eachother for an hour trying to get organized, sit in a pos/on a jb/on a titan for another 30 minutes, then just as you finally get ready to actually play spaceships, some assholes drop 20 bombs on you and wipe your whole fleet.
You know that half those guys that were there today will not be there next time.
IRC have a long history of whelping fleet after fleet after fleet, day in and day out. I don't think whelping yet another fleet in hilarious fashion will keep them from showing upOriginally Posted by Some Market Dude
I know it seems I was on 70-80 mails from bombing tonight.
It actually took IRC an hour and 30 mins to go 7 jumps into Tenal because of goons harrassing thier 102 man fleet with 15 dudes. and then they died 21 seconds after they arrived on the field.
I expected there to be rage on comms, but what it sounded like was more akin to suicidal depression, even the FC didn't say anything.
Gicer.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
And now I see :eleetpeeveepee: tengoos dying.
Lookit dat - anything without the word "Tengu" in it dies horribly.
Clearly that is unpossible. UN. POSSI. BLE. I bid you good day, sir.
edit:
@DP: THE HUGINNS SURVIVED LIKE MEN!
It's me, I'm an asshole.
who needs friends when you have allies like these?

Heres the deal guys. We have temp blue standings with White Noise for the duration of this war. If you guys have anything trapped in WN stations grab it now while we can dock. I for one have some pvp ships in ZLZ that im gonna grab and Im probably going to jump a carrier up for them.
So just giving you the heads up, GET YOUR SHIT!
my initials are DP
I almost feel sorry for IRC. They trudged for near an hour to join the fight, and this is how it ended from their perspective: http://irc.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=11951770
<3 Vee Bombing Runs
We had just under 20 dudes actively bombing, lost 0, and killed about 90, then two more smaller successful runs afterwards.
Nothing like burning 14 jumps through Elitepvp Blackops bubbles, finally warping to the POS you're there to shoot, and then blowing up en masse to bombers on landing.
It's just like the 1905 Russo-Japanese war : Far east fleet (WN) are wiped out completely by IJN (we shall substitute the many weaboos in GSF for the IJN), and reinforcement fleets from the Baltic (IRC) travels halfway around the world only to be unceremoniously wiped out.
I'm sure we can work in Raiden. watching from their invincible non-contributing boats somehow if we try
The evil CFC have no spacehonoure!
The fight between Raiden. and CFC was rather fun though. Killing the goon tower that was set up, and replacing it with our own. A goon cyno lit which was immediately killed, and local spiked with some 300(?) reds, who warped to the tower and started shooting it while it was onlining. We were around 120 total in fleet, warped down to the tower and the brawl began. Lag was okay'ish all things considered.
KB's are synching at the moment, so not really sure how the ISKWAR will end up, but we managed to gank the Goon tower, and afterwards the Raiden. tower was popped. So the dance continues. Next time it would be nice of our allies stopped dying before the fight started though.
if you're relying on IRC not being terrible you've lost before a single ship has explodedThe evil CFC have no spacehonoure!

wow
are you serious?
It was glorious.

Judging from the use of caps, and the fact that the poster isn't a mouth breathing pubbie, I'll wager "No"
Although he is in Raiden. ...
Good sir, I seem to recall several times the beast that is IRC having killed Goon fleets in the past!
But still, even with it being IRC, 80 BS should be able to do some kind of damage, not that I am expecting too much.
I was referring to the Raiden. vs. CFC fight, as it was that I was writing about in that post. Obviously adding in the IRC losses, the "win" is clearly CFC's. Between Raiden. and CFC, Raiden. are in the red by 3 bil, but that is also including the lost Raiden. tower, and without the lost Goon tower. But who cares about the isk war anyway?
Well, we can see what the damage a 80-men IRC BS-fleet can do after a bombingrun
We were going to get a good fight with IRC but they spontaneously asploded.
Don't forget the unfitted Raiden. Nyx.I was referring to the Raiden. vs. CFC fight, as it was that I was writing about in that post. Obviously adding in the IRC losses, the "win" is clearly CFC's.

smug as fuck, gf irc
Unfitted Raiden. Nyx? I haven't heard about that one?
Holy shit. Is this real life?
He is talking about the WN. nyx prolly
I knew we would be victorious when Some RZR dude freaked the fuck out at DBRB for being racist while we were forming up mainfleet. Boat then warned that if anybody went and started acting "mega-pubbie" he would kick them from fleet and like ten guys dropped fleet immediately. Getting people to rage about nigfleet is almost as fulfilling as shooting blues.
Looks like Eve-kill pulled it again which is funny, but here it is on the FA board. I guess WN have convinced Eve Kill that they'd never not fit a new Nyx.

Edit: My mistake, it's a WN nyx, we killed a Raiden. Rev. Got confused.
We've killed so much stuff through reds derping that i've lost track.
Stop posting and being smug and make dinner so we can HoN already. Im tired
Confirming IRC were a great asset towards the higher cause.
Hehe, fair enough.
That WN Nyx loss is hilariously retarded. It's not rocket science to not accept random fleet invites (even though I almost accepted DRBR's invite some days ago just to break my cherry and try it) in your super. Well, apparently it seems that it just might be.
The amount of fail from our side so far has been pretty big with the Nyx loss, the tower timers, that Rev(!) and the JF's. I wonder if I can sneak in an "overview bug" and kill some Shiva dudes. I still have a hard time grasping them suddenly being blue. The fuckers too lazy to leave the north properly.
Props to Raiden. for at least showing up, and IRC, and Hellas, it is kind of surprising though that White Noise didn't show up for a fight in branch.

here is a killboard link, now let's get some uniformed teenager from the other side of the galaxy to tell me what really happened in my war
wn isn't scooping up the tech out of their reinforced tech towers. we've lost probably 15b in scoopable tech because goons must shoot everything on a grid in a pos shot, always
(for those who know anything about warfare instead of shitty posts, unscooped tech in a rf'd tower is a sign of serious organizational drift, what i am saying is that wn is fucked)

what is there to be smug about? ccp has dumbed down bombing even further this patch, literally anyone can do it. there is no risk anymore. warp squad, approach, press button, warp. also: http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=11926214
Anyone remember that fleet op down in Delve where MM had like 70 bombers try and hit us throughout the night and of that 1 bomb actually hit us and 70 bombers killed themselves or died horribly?
I remember that fleet.
Please tell me you were recording.
link? also that's before this patch. remember this fleet op down in delve? http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=10918317
INtarkill in "smartbombs kill frigates with relative ease" shocker
More at 11
killing 13 bombers solo is impressive (and pretty hilarious) though
Holy shit son check out all the MM on that BR you must be so proud of your alliance gg gg
If you're going to link out of context goon losses, why not go the whole hog and link every single Goon super cap loss from deadtitan to DaiTengu that'll show them who's boss!
Then anyone should be able to do it. Lets not forget how often everyone has tried (and failed) to bomb effectively.
E: I just realized who I was responding to...
Then of course, there are those who toss out 40 bombs, kill 1 Maelstrom and brag on comms that they killed 70 goons.
War is a very big word here, it is more like a turkey shoot to keep the Goons and their pets morale high.
Bombing run was pretty epic, guess bomber blobs will become the FOTM sometime 2012.
So bitter about dem dum goonies...like honestly concerning levels of bitter, from a general human compassion standpoint. You need to unplug for a month or two, bro.
Judging from White Noises bombing the other night it's either not as dumbed down as you think, or white noise are literally the worst.
Honestly I'm fine with either answer.
INtarkill, take some time off work (I'm assuming you're being paid to follow goon posters around and try to make them feel bad about being bad at EVE, because I'd want paying for such a herculean task too), go to Costa Rica, to the town of Dominical. Once there, ask for John Chapman, an Englishman. When you find him, ask him for a job. He will solve all your problems.
Based on the bombing runs I've witnessed from WN in the last couple days this is not a true statement. Sorry INtarKll you're wrong again.
Gather 'round and listen to the tale of the smart-bombing tempest.
One day a man, a man whose name rhymes with 'Gee', asked for volunteers to join him on a trip to a far-away land in order to lend aid to an old friend, Death, who was under siege. A dozen men answered his call.
Being Goons, they did not have wives or children to leave behind.
After converging from the North and South, the merry band let slip their lines from ports in Empire, and moved silently east under the cover of their cloaks. After many jumps, they arrived at their staging point, under the hot sun of R-ag. There they made camp and gathered around their leader and his mighty steed 'Redeemer'. While they waited, they told tales and made plans of attack.
Unbeknownst to them, Death had not told his subjects the small band was there to help. While the band waited, a follower of Death noticed signs of their presence in the area. Death's servant was more adroit than most, and tracked his hitherto unknown allies to where they made camp. Death's subject marked the spot, and retreated to gather strength. Soon he returned, and out of the darkness, Death's servant struck. He arrived, a whirling, blazing tempest of destruction. Most of band were destroyed where they lay gathered around Redeemer. Redeemer, and the steeds Prowler and Viator carried their riders away to safety as the tempest raged, but most were not so lucky.
Carried away to safety by Redeemer, the leader informed Death what his servant had done. All agreed it was very impressive work, though ill-timed. Death has probably since promoted that man.
Those scattered back to the ports of the Empire gathered new steeds, and traveled once again to R-ag. Once the survivors were assembled, they rode to the home of Death without further incident. Nothing else happened the rest of their journey, and they returned home with their balls blue and a story to tell.
Rep cool down is a bitch
Please nerf it
