Well, with all these happening around us, I'm amazed we still have ADSL connections to play internet spaceships![]()
0P9Z-I Battle Report - INIT perspective.
Prologue
Its Friday night, all sides are forming shit. Game on.
Form up starts at 19:00 the call is for Brawler Drakes, we are told the target is a POS. By 19:50 we are at 200 with about 20 scimies and 5/10 recons. At about 20:00 we get the order to bridge in, the titan fail-ahoy's into the system without us so we quickly form on another titan at which point we jump into a mid way system PF-. PF- stands at about 900+ local the majority friendly bar about 20 or so hostile bombers, I didnt realize they were in system amongst the sea of blues untill 20:58. 20:58 we have been sitting on our mid way titan outside the shields for 20 minutes, a large group of bombers land on us and bomb. The pos is passworded so we have to warp out ASAP, during this palava we get hit hard and lose 58 battlecruisers (NC. lost some BS as well on a different pos http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=12404513).
We took a huge hit, we get the order to dock up and those who are able to, titan bridge home and reship, this takes about 15-20 minutes. In the mean time FC changes tac and we get a temp pos pass, we are soon joined by a bomber (vee) who tries to bump the titan (ULTIMATE SPY). RDN and Evoke jump 500 out into target system 0P9Z, we follow them after 10 minutes. GJ to the guys who reshipped so quick.
Actual Fight
RDN (titans) /NC. (Abbadons)/INIT+M (Drakes)/Evoke (Drakes)/PL (Oracles) 900 /+smalls VS CFC (Drakes & Maels) 900

21:08 we jump into 0P9Z 350k off the main blob of friendlies and some reds, after a short skirmish we warp to the pos at 60 and fire on it. Local rises at 21:10 and by 21:20 local is at 1690 (highest it will be in the fight). 5 minutes later the Goon pos is down. Objective complete, Right? Wrong. First the enemy blob warp on the INIT drakes, we are aligned and warp off without loss. We warp back onto grid at 30k from Test Drakes, we start hitting their scimies. At this point TiDi stands at about 20%, with missile time it was a long wait. We kill about 9 with some other targets of opportunity until they warp out, we are left turley shooting the rest of the poor fuckers in no mans land. During this time we are getting hit by bombers, the majority are damage but as we re-warp down onto the fight we are hit by a few void bombs. This fucks a few of us for a bit because we are constantly MWDing, it doesn't last long because we recharge cap enough to by varying mod usage (invul off, mwd off, guns off. You get it). 21:58 After another bomb run we warp out on grid, NC. and evoke are duking it out while we warp in at 50k. Local is at 1476 by 22:00. We start shooting primaries again in the form of scimitars and a couple of command ships killing them all successfully. They warp out and the next enemy group seems like mostly Goons, we MWD from 90k to 20k shooting primaries and killing most of them (mix of drakes and scimies and recons). It is mostly NC. and INIT on them, I dont see PL or Evoke at this point. They warp to a tactical and we cool more stragglers (you start to see a cycle). At this point we find ourselves left on the field outnumbered, not sure where blues went but we warp out to sun. TiDi is at 13% at this point, this means the 3 AU warp there and back to a tactical takes ages.

22:57 Once we are back ongrid a new area of fighting is taking place 300k off us, below us 200k is a red drake gang. We both warp to the fight and the same wreck at 0 almost simultaneously, this is a massive royal rumble at this point with both sides essentially at 0 fucking up the other guy. There ships fall fast, but for the first time we get calls on comms that our logis aren't holding up. We Mwd follow them to the side of bubbles to give ourselves the option to warp out. We are still on scimies and recons. We are really taking a beating, it seems friendlies are hitting a different fleet to us or warp out because there reps slow our damage. Where ships were falling in TiDi 13% 1minue they are now taking 5 and some surviving (heres looking at you hero claymore). We get another comment from logi's saying we are losing dps at an alarming rate now, we lose the anchor as well by now we get a call for supers to log in. We start killing shit quicker again but are forced to warp to safe by another bombing run and continued enemy pressure.

23:38 We warp back onto grid. Suddenly titans, numbers at 15 at first and rises to 30+ by 23:50. CFC are closer to home and reshipping a lot faster than we are, RDN want to end game this shit before it turns bad. NC. Join them with a couple of their own.
23:00 We MWD towards the fleet at range and pick of people on the fringes, mostly targets of opportunity. It is clear they are losing numbers, local is at 1197. 5 Minutes later they warp out to ZK gate, the majority get rhough but we pick off another 15 who warped late. The next 15 minutes is clean up, local has fallen to 700 or something by now and it is clear we are no longer in danger.
By the time all the turkey shooting is over we are at 12:00, it takes another 30 mins to get home TiDi following us the whole way.

We hold field and took the objective, its fair to say we won that fight. Very GF to CFC, props.
I've been playing eve now constantly now for 5 hours so dont mind me while I go and eat some super noodles. PS those photos were put in alliance by a corp mate.
i like how you spin that tower saved and having to drop your last hand into objective complete
We also killed two BL tengus on the way home. vov success.
hurf blurf blurf durf objective saved
We could have dropped 200 supercaps at start if we cared more about the tech then the fight, its not like anyone can deny that m8s v0v
so basically goon cowardice and inability to risk their supers costs them another fight
The most impressive thing from today was when we managed to do a full circle freighter run get everyone reshipped in oracles and back in system by the time the people actually fighting had reloaded their weapons
yeah off course I can explain that.
Gordon cain is my old char. I made the retarded mistake of getting rid of all my accounts and give the isk to corp when I "stopped"(dont ever do that!). Then came back and beg isk from Flumz for new char. Worked my way back up again and got The Supremacy. After endless grind in nyx and sanctums I could buy back my old char.
So gordon cain is my old main. The Supremacy my new.
EDIT: Dammit beaten to it by Init!!!
Regarding the fight tonight from RDN POV:
We had joint ops planned and knew that goons would bring "everyyyyyyyone" (Leon). Last night we spotted super capitals and capitals moving to Branch, and mails and ops plans indicated a major push being prepared.
This naturally made us a bit more carefull how we throw the supers around. We know that CFC would love to get the chance to pop a few titans or moms.
Tower came out in 0P9 in Branch. A good timer for both parts. A bit late for our eu main power to be put in effect. It is in goons interest to drag the fight on for the night. Allied fleets consisted of PL, NCDOT, INIT, EVOKE and RDN. We got off to a bad start with some coordination issues again. NCDOT and INIT got bombed waiting on titan bridge in PF. We manage to get into system pretty much undammaged with evoke and rdn fleet.
To our luck CFC choose to pull entire fleet 2 jumps out and let us get setup in system with all the allies. Super Fleet put on standby in PF- and rest of allies setup in 0P9.
Fights kick off and we duke it out. Abaddon fleet, drake fleets, oracle fleet + bombers vs. mael and drake fleets + bombers. PL goes down fast to good bombing run but reship and get back in fight later.
We pretty much fight continusly for several hours (or about 30mins if it was non tidi) with both sides bring in reinforcements. Near the end Goons orders close range ammo and go all in close. We choose to put in titans to end the last 100 Maels before it gets to late. Titans in and goons withdraw to neighbor system. We safely extract supers and sub-caps from system since tower is reinforced.
At some point evoke brought a tower but when launched disappeared in system somewhere. Also nice to see that even if Tidi is 10+% then tower still online realtime !weeeeelp!
All in all GF to all and thx to ncdot and pl for giving a hand with pewpew.
fags with no sov get no respect
We formed them up 3ish hours into the fight when we had to go to bed, yes?Originally Posted by tgr
If you say so.

what a homo
300 is the new 200
everyone seems to have fun why are mummy and daddy shouting![]()
I've noticed that there's a pretty big disconnect between the general consensus of kugu and what's actually happening. It seems enough people have said it in this thread that people are taking it as fact.
Meanwhile, in test jabber.

tl dr; ncdot promised not to help rdn, baww supers, hey PL lets blob rdn togheter, mittanis fanily has a street in italy
Guys I have a spy in a bad alliance.
Today's status report![]()
Yeah, that was in general chat. The cesspit of jabber.
It was way more funny if you were actually reading that shit as it happened ....mittens and shadoo were like - poke.. poke... goonswarm 2012...smug...poke..blueballs bawww..smug smug...fine we'll engage it's TESTs birthday.....ok bye whore your're fleets gone! v0v
So what does he ^ have to be smug about?http://dog-net.org/brdoc/?brid=4399

"lololo i was just trolling"
I'm just going to sit out of this one and bury my head in the sand. I have enough problems mismanaging my alliance's military.
PL got smug bombed all is well
vote mittani 2012
I wasn't sure if I was supposed to walk away from reading that thinking "Oh, goons are kind of like -A- because they don't want to fight with the threat of a super blob?" or "Supers are bad and we shouldn't fight people with lots of them."
I ended up closing the tab thinking "AAAAAAAAAAA Oh mittens turned yet another conversation into talking about himself."
I would say GF but tidi was unbearable.While modules still cycled and everything worked,the lag was fucking bad.I had time to cycle my weapons on a target go take a piss, and get back before the missiles had landed.I survived the entire fight but I cant say I found it to be Fun.Must say tho it's good to be fighting with test again. We missed ya bro's happy birthday.
GF raden and co see yall tomorrow.
you can normalize tidi by smoking weed
My op got more Scimitars than the Alphafleet earlier today. We got bored and I tanked our whole fleet. Op sucess.

Goddamn it I thought I would be the first to comment on that [s]fight[/s] slaughter. After our ~strategic shit~ that consisted of inanimate targets that don't move, Black Mark. jumped into our 100 man Drake fleet with like 40 Muninns and rather than gate crashing or just running they started shooting and as they failed to burn range as we raped things as fast as I could say the names. We warped to a planet and killed a few more there then they fucked off and we went home. gfgf m8 bonused Drakes go as fast as your Muninns, hope this helps. Also, I think the only people we lost didn't broadcast so v0v natural selection.

you mean black legion.
I have to agree with Shadoo.
I like shooting my allies too.
well we knew you had like 20 scimmis. but we have max courage and minimum brains
Respectable. Yeah Black LegionDOT, same shit.
Let's hear some more about how RDN are literally BoB because they throw their allies under buses
Since it hasn't been mentioned in the other reports, Init landed a pretty good bombing run on us when we warped into the big fight. This will be a very short report since its how little of the fight I saw :P
We got in system, and warped towards the hostiles, landing at about the sweet range for alpha Maels. We probably should have seen it coming as our targets warped out as we started locking them. Suddenly bombers. I don't know if they were short on numbers, or TiDi screwed them a little, but we got away with only light casualties (about 8-10 guys x'ed up as having lost their ship). At least we had plenty of time to see them coming and overheat hardeners, that probably saved a few guys who would have died otherwise. We tried to warp out as the bombs fell, but took the damage anyway. 5 minutes of dilated warp later (the warp effect does look quite pretty at 10% speed), we landed... side-by-side with Evokes Drake fleet. This is the last I saw of the fight, as I was at 10% shields from the bomb run, and Evoke primaried me right off the bat *curses having an A name*.
I thought it was a fun fight and I'm glad 2000 people didn't get blueballed which would have been retarded. Dropping massed titans on a GOODFITE is poor form but you gotta do what you gotta do to get a victory I suppose plus we saved the tech moon woop woop.
