Of course they wasn't. I was referring to the "old BoB titan" part. That titan was from 2011 and the Pilot was never in BoB. But hey, if it gets the Goons motivated I guess it's okay to lie.

Never sleep. This is solution that works for me.

**gala gidas** · 2012-01-21

I was in the fight since the begining.Goons and co had about 600 subcaps at a POS of theirs and waited the timer for the RDN POS.Meanwhile RDN had saved another tech POS somewhere else and goons chose to skip fighting for that.Propably because it would be hard for them to bring easier reinforcemements.I had a sniper tir 3 gang and warped in the fight grid witch loaded in less than 10 secs.TiDi was there and everything was in slow motion but it only helped my gang perform better.Artis seem worse than lasers and rails with TiDi so its more about actual DPS than alpha imo.When we landed on grid the goon dreads jumped in and after a while the goon supers jumped in.At that point local was 1200+ and altough TiDi was bouncing reducing speed to 3/10 of normal time sometimes it went to 1/20 or real time.Propably because people were jumping in etc.
game was playable,in lower speeds,stuff were getting blown although we were poping maels and canes with 2 gun cycles the real time was about 40-60 secs.At this point RDNs position looked bad bad bad,since they were cornered in a POS just out or rf and the goon subcaps were far less.I was thinking they were going to kill the tower,perma the bubble the RDN supers and after killing the support proceed to kill of the RDN supers.This didnt happened.A goon erebus jumped out 80% in armor and soon goon supers warped off.I thought that trading a titan kill with same amount in losses in subcaps for the second time will be ok for them.Problem is that this way they gave a way out in RDN imo.First they cleaned the field from from goon dreads,then subcaps and got away with only 1 erebus down when it looked alot more worse for them.
The Levi kill made the score even so in the end this was a clean victory in all levels.Subcaps were clearly won by RDN and co,goon dreads dead(around 40 of them),more goon carriers dead than RDN and that RDN POS still up.
I still cant understand goon warped their supers off,in my mind it made more sense to kill the tower and bubble them till tomorrow and accept possible supercap losses.it looked like the time you put more expensive toys than die in a mael and reship to a cane and die again...

**penifSMASH** · 2012-01-21

so tl;dr Raiden commits supers, goons commit a few dozen jihad dreads and supers, HOWEVER their super pilots are cowards so only 6 of them stepped up to the plate

then a gsol guy who was given a director titan loses it like a retard to brave non-coward warriors

yup sounds like GoonFleet 2012 to me

**Kazanir** · 2012-01-21

i wonder if durrhurrdurr is going to be as annoying in his next alliance as you are in your current one

**KWyz** · 2012-01-21

Calling Penif on this one. Why?

**penifSMASH** · 2012-01-21

don't be upset at me over the risk averse coward lifestyle of your leadership and the effect it has on your playerbase

**Hellkitty** · 2012-01-21

Another fight is happening right now over what used to be an SMA tech moon. After the blob warfare earlier on, goons returned home while init quickly reformed a 100man bs fleet and 20 man bomber wing. With the help of raiden dreads, we popped the tower and started anchoring our own.

exactly 48 mins later (tower anchored, 12mins remaining on onlining), goons bridge into system with a 200+ fleet; our main fleet gets a hero dictor to bubble their cyno while our bs fleet warps off.
Goons burn out of bubbles, warp down to tower and get bombed - however we kind of fail our bombing run and they warp off, calling us all sorts of names in local. Init main fleet warps back to tower at 100-150 or so (tower has like 8mins left on onlining at this point), goons soon warp back in again IN THE EXACT SAME SPOT AS LAST TIME.
Needless to say, we didnt miss our bombing run a second time: something like 50 dead goons from the bombing run and a couple more picked off by our bs fleet before they warped off and disengaged; tower onlined and stronted.

Right now goons are having another go at it - not sure what local is at because i managed to get my bomber killed, but its basically goons vs init shield bs (+ init bombers )+ raiden hellcats + ncdot something (cant confirm the latter- i think they're in ahacs).

Edit: seems like goons won this one, lots of stuff blown up on either side.

**Some Market Dude** · 2012-01-21

As Sun Tzu said, a Leviathan isn't a real titan anyway.

Paraphrasing of course.

**Elise Randolph** · 2012-01-21

Mad impressed that Goons did it right, for once, dropping suicide Dreads on a bumped Titan, eating DD's, and then counter-dropping with supers. I had at least 15 titans on my watchlist that were online, pretty hilarious that only 4 jumped in. Baby steps, baby steps.

Actually, 4 were only able to get on because they were the only ones out of system. The titans in system couldn't get through the molasses of TiDi before we killed the titan and cynoout.gif

Your assumptions are what make you gay. The rest of those titans were already IN SYSTEM and tried to warp to the battle, which was essentially prevented by 16% TiDi.

EDIT: FUCK, BEATEN BY CANADAGOON

**Vile rat** · 2012-01-21

Two titans were eating burgers and playing rock band at my house. Regret nothing. They were AWESOME burgers.

you should say thanks to that ''newbee'' hictor that bubled us just as you were launching your bombs

, my mael survived at 50% struct

the fight that happened afterwards was one of my best fleet fights in years of playing this game, tidi is a solid adition to this game!

I'd also like to point out the mild irony of Grath gushposting about this fight. I've said time and time again that it's the big battles, the epic struggles, the clash between (literal, in some case) titans that makes people play Eve instead of Star Wars, WoW, WoT, SoaSE, etc. This requires the organizational capability to round up hundreds, sometimes thousands of people at a time (sometimes on short notice) and grind them together against each other until one or both sides are rendered to a fine paste. These are the fights that test tactics, strategy, coordination and communication, not some two hour roam to trap random Drakes in belts, or breaking up a couple HACs on a gate, or even sieging on an unmanned POS, but massive 5-fleet or more bloodbaths chock full of maneuver, feint, parry and commit, with everything from the rookie ship to the supercapital being rent asunder at the slightest error, in a grand race to sieze the objective before the rest of the universe comes dogpiling in on both sides. It's such a rush that PL brought subcaps across how many regions? just to catch the tail end of it.

I think we can all agree that, while we may not want to do this day in and day out, these are the sorts of fights we subscribe to see, to be a part of. Mere months ago the technical limitations of the server and distinct balance issues would never have let this happened, but hopefully now we can see this sort of derring do more often.

koryvarn · 2012-01-21

Big fight just went down in DCI7-7 in Branch. Init. were putting up a tower, Mr Vee called for Alphafleet.

We titan bridge in and try to catch the Initiative fleet while dodging their bombers. A cunning plan to catch bombers fails when our own HIC bubbles us and we lose a bunch of stuff. Most people are in armor and structure as Init. land on us. We bail to the nearest SMA station to rep up and bridge in some more dudes to replace those who died.

We get word that Init. are 100km off gate on other side. We jump in, get aligned, when Raiden. lands an Abaddon fleet on top of us. Primaries get called, stuff dies. NC. Joins the fun in Zealots and T3's. We pew pew for what seems like an hour before Mr Vee warps us out.
And then straight back in, for more Abaddon kills. The 3 carriers on field get called primary and they die in a fire, though the secondary tech 3 ships also died before carrier died. KM whores!
At this point Init. is sitting what seems to be 100+km away from us and not doing much in sniper battleships.

We have very little tackle left and the stuff we shoot mostly gets away. The field clears and we jump to the UQ9 gate where there's an NC. gang sitting on gate at zero. NC. Jump and we jump, some T3 stuff dies.

Went back to the tower in DCI7-7 and put it into ref.

Good fight everyone

**tgr** · 2012-01-21

If a fight in EVE could make a fella fap furiously, the two huge fights I've been in today have been exactly that. Not once have I thought I was going to die because the servers were shit, everything worked just as it should, albeit sllllooooooowwwllllllyyyyyy.

WTB: more of that.

I'd postulate it's because Grath has said one of the main things that keeps vets subscribing is to get more shiny toys to train for.

I don't agree with that, the reason is fights like today. The first could've gone better, but I still got out of it feeling like I'd won, and the second engagement of today was just fap penis raw-inducing.

And, that's what the SOV system should be like, as well. Give both sides a chance to feel like they've won, and both sides'll be more inclined to keep fighting, instead of capitulating after, say, 3 days.

i think 'the axis of hypocrisy' is a good catch-all for our assembled anti-blob, anti-blue foes who nevertheless blue each other and blob up against us at every opportunity

tidi owns bones

i also almost got my titan in a fight today, but due to the tidi e-warp lag by the time i logged in and got in fleet and finished warp to the pos in 92d, the hostile titan was down; only a couple of our supers made it onto the km but everyone was trying to get involved vOv

**Some Dude** · 2012-01-22

1) Time Dilation is in fact, an improvement.
2) No Limits in Warfare considering numbers and ships
3) Lag doesn't count as excuse anymore
4) ???
5) Profit

Haha, about that run, we were fully aligned and ready to warp away until a heavy dictor thought he'd be a hero, put up his bubble, then realized he cought our entire fleet and not your bombers.

Despite him being personally responsible for 70 completely unnecessary losses, I have forgiven him and it was a legitimate case of unintentional stupidity.

It was really tempting to pussy out and bridge back to WLF after that, but we decided to jump back into the bombers + init fleet at sniping range + rdn abaddons + nc. ahacs cynoing in. Good brawl was had, no titans were dropped and all of a sudden Eve Online is a fun game. :-o

I love this weird mentality in Eve... The greatest hero of todays battles from Raiden.'s point of view was Huntet Lifeform, just because he died :P

His merits in the battle is even making him eligible for the Purple Fart medal!

If we're going to be the Axis of something we should get to have the German uniforms, best reason to be a Nazi was those pimp ass uniforms.
