I never would've made it in CVA.
Wait did we actually bomb something successfully for once? The fuck?
The worst part is that apparently Wolfy was responsible for it. I don't know what to believe any more.
Cause I thought he had to go and Wolfy took over. hahaHow can you not have faith in Mr. Ephraim?
Hey get fucked, it's not Delve's fault. You're just going to have to accept that the mythic land of perpetual good fights will always be where you aren't.
"Hey guys we were winning in preseason! We're still a good team!"
Preseason doesn't mean shit.
yeah but that's normal when fighting PLI guess PL is pretty bored.... dropping supers and capitals on 15 oracles... gud fight
I shot a station and a TCU today.
It was fun.
HardinSalvor was originally FCing, when he got back he had to go for a while and iso could only stay for so long so I basically emergency-formed like 30 bombers and got them set up on the QY1 gate. PL cyno'd supers in so I took 10 bombers with me to try and bomb some F/Bs. This didn't go very well and while we were busy goons jumped into C3N. We bombed them as they came in with the 2 squads that were still on gate but this turned out to not be enough. After that we got set up with all 3 different squads in different spots around C3N station and probes on the drakes. Drakes started pinging around a bit and we caught them at their fourth ping. Wing-warped all bombers, got the first 2 squads to bomb and popped a couple of drakes. Then the last 8 or so bombers in squad 3 launched and it ~hurt~
nulli just showed everyone how it's done. Pro FCing there from PL and Goons.
So Goons saw some action too, good for them!
And how does ev0ke fit in this play? Are they just fighting stragglers?
don't blueball vee it's a bad idea xdxdxdxdxd

Just so you know -- defeated Red Alliance was brought into the Southern Coalition and given space in Querious. Nemesis -- which held some space in Delve (basically as squatters) was offered a spot in the coalition if they would relocate. They refused. Consequently Red Alliance invaded Nemesis' Delve space. Nemesis capitulated almost immediately and sold all of their Delve space to Red Alliance for around 20 billion. Suddenly red alliance was on our doorstep, which we didn't like even though they were in the coalition. It was agreed by coalition higher-ups that -- as we wanted -- we would fight Red Alliance for Delve but neither would invade beyond that -- meaning we would not invade Red Alliance in Querious and they would not come into Period Basis. So we were neutral, but part of the same coalition. We also never claimed that we weren't part of the same coalition. We ended up going blue after an outside force invaded. It's my understanding that many coalitions have neutral members who agree to band together when faced with an external threat.
I just thought this situation called for some clarity :-)
They are our Bros (some people call them pets but that's just mean). When Shadoo went ape shit and started trying to assemble
proper blobski, we invited them to participate and they agreed (as bros always do).
You're only as good as your last fight.
I don't think TEST is the superior part of the force in question.
Wait a minute, you called in half the south.
Who's blobbing now.
This little saga reminds me of the time of the DRF, none of the entities up north wanting to rock the boat up north and so coming down south attacking sov hoping for some fights, however using the assests (Supercapitals) and numbers that is usually reserved for northern fights where tech is concerned and the risk vs reward becomes worthwhile. Once these assets though are brought and used for fighting over space that has less worth (the south) against entities that cannot escalate to that level, this enevitably results in blueballs and structure grinds for the attackers. The southern alliances will shrug their shoulders and play the long game only fighting on occasion when favourable, waiting for the assault to subside and for the boat to begin rocking up north again, likely after a much anticipated tech nerf.
Simply put if you want fights in the south you should scale back the use of Supercapitals every time it looks like you might lose a sub cap brawl or you could all grow some balls and start brawlin in the north with each other but both of these solutions encompass some form of risk. The ball is in your court and it's your choice how you want to play.
When both fleets average about 600 you can just fight without making up shit excuses.
More like a fifth/sixth, but okay.
Yeah, but today that wasn't the case. There was about 500 between S2N & Delvebros, RA, and -A-. PL, TEST, Goons, and Ev0ke were 700ish. This is already a problematic force ratio - especially considering PL caps/supers - but S2N at least was planning to make a go of it. Then -A- got cold feet at the last moment and decided to turn around and take their 150ish home, which suddenly makes it 700 to 350 and thus downright suicidal without massive force multipliers - multipliers which the hostiles had an unassailable advantage in.
doesn't sound like -a-, are you sure this is accurate?
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
No, the case is what the case always is.
One or more of you southern slumlord shitheads coward out and point fingers, then try to damage control.
s2n has blamed -a-, now we sit back and wait for -a- to show up and blame s2n. The cycle continues.
Northern trash blues everything from fountain to geminate then wonders why they can't get a fight.
To be fair to Makalu, S2N's form-up WAS something of a gong show. Trying to get Progod and/or Guderian to get fleets rolling on time before 1700 or so is often a hit-or-miss affair. Progod in particular has a nasty tendency of sleeping through alarms.
-A- must have brought their Scaredycat 100mn tengus again.
Grats on creating the first doctrine designed around putting your tail between your legs.
Lokis this time, which means no easy way out when things go awry. They might've actually gone for it if they were in Tengus.
You're right to stand down with those numbers. This was more directed at -A-
Dear DurrHurrDurr,
Could you please point out where you have taken Nulli Sov?
HM-XR2?
FM-JK5
Vale, tribute, geminate are all either red or lack standings.
We were even making moves to shoot up the place, but southern niggers had to step.
Illiterate, risk-averse, cowardly finger-pointing shitposting mongoloids.
If you're gonna hit the "reply" button at least put some fucking effort into it, christ.
And it appears they've now taken FM- as well.
So don't be an idiot.
Y'all fucking brought Ev0ke down here because you were afraid you might have an even fight against Nulli and -A- so I mean, yep you are.
In MY Delve war we shot Ev0ke.
edit: Uphill, both ways, relogging at every gate.
TEST isn't blue to ev0ke, on the contrary.
Well there's your fight then. It's like going out for hamburgers and they give you a steak.
ev0ke was dabbling around in Aridia, we had timers running out. Why would we abandon those timers and go hunt them in lowsec? Sincere question.
I don't know why you'd chase a fight instead of shooting structures lmao
edit
quoting for the new page because did you seriously say that
i think they must have real high hopes for freeport delve/elite space guild 2012
better get those structures ground down
Yeah, let's chase random germans in Aridia.
Great idea nerds
Don't know why your leaders are talking down numbers -- but we counted 600 hostiles in fleet, in delve today. We had 700-750 in fleet.
NULLI/A/etc vasty outclassed our ships, since our dudes were mostly in Tier3s/Drakes and NULLI/RA had almost 2x our BS numbers, thou of course we did have dozen dreads and as always supers on standby (this time especially since RA had called for supers).
But -- Makalu is probably the most risk adverse coalition FC in EVE right now, not that I blame him since they don't have endless Tech3 faucet like some others ))). So they pulled off field and announced their DEPLOYMENT TO C3N about 1 day early since their hand was forced.
With the entire Southern Coalition now unified, deploying within a single region and ready to roll -- I guess it's time to make Delve into a proper shooting ground.
Why won't this thread stop?!?
Just when I thought this thread couldn't get any worse.
Who gives a shit about rep anyways, it'll just end up getting cleared out when people get "too much" anyways, so fuck it.
every shadoo op theres 4 new pages to this thread, only seeing a trend here
What I dont understand is why AAA insist on flying over priced fleet doctrines that they literally cannot afford to lose. It seems dumb as fuck to continue doing that when you dont have the ability to replace it without having to spend a good portion of your isk. Although I guess other doctrines dont run away as well, so I imagine that is an important factor to consider.
