I am Dental Floss. That's like a 4 month tradition now.

On page 87 of this thread about how the NC is dead and people are evaccing, what exactly is there that's so much more interesting? The argument about whether or not supercaps are overpowered? Because I personally find that debate riveting, especially when there's 4 pages a day of sperg about it.

Blah blah.
If you guys just stopped using fighter bombers and stuck a 100MN MWD on your nyxes, you could just take out those stations with a single super each.
No sov grind, much faster. Plus ~isk sink~.
- 1 Tenal Station for -RZR-
First one out of the region to fall.
Those aggression mechanics show what is really at the core of the problem. Logoffski works because it takes too long to chew through the buffers. The multiplicative effect works because of those buffers as well as it takes too long to kill massed supercaps when they are doing their full damage in return while repping in the meantime. The buffers are why supercaps need to be brought in because it takes subcaps too long to chew through.
Here's the problem with using 3G as an example. IIRC NC's supercap fleet split approximately in half, with fifteen SCs repping the jammer while two, later three titans plus a handful of SCs went to the gate. Supercaps only become a problem when they push over the size required to self sustain against the enemy fleet. Fifteen Nyxes can probably sustain themselves against any subcap fleet; there's no indication that any were ever in danger while the jammer was online. It is not, however, enough to rape a subcap fleet with no tackle. The two titans and handful of supercaps at the gate were NOT self sustainable against what PL and friends brought, but thanks to the huge buffer supercaps have been given they also weren't in any real danger with the jammer up. When the third titan and some more supercaps arrived, they became self sustainable (a "supercap blob") and PL and friends stopped trying to kill them (kept them bubbled to hell though) and left them to quicken things at the jammer. Everything about the 3G fight follows from what has been known to people for months now - supercaps when blobbed don't have a counter besides more of themselves. Supercaps that AREN'T blobbing are not overpowered and die all the time. Caps and subcaps in blobs die to other shiptype formups all the time as well. Only supercaps have this issue.
NC committed supercaps piecemeal in this fight and did not mass them properly like PL and friends have successfully done. Imbalanced doesn't protect from incompetence. Put fifteen titans and fifty SCs on that jammer and see if PL and friends can bring enough subcaps to ever get it down.
Isn't this the same with a triage carrier/dread combo fleet? The counter for this is bring more DPS. Remove titans/supers from the field and this means more dreads and carriers.
Traditional EVE counter - bring more DPS. There's just nothing in the game bigger than a super, so people bring those to counter supers, cause you can't realistically bring in an organised 3000 man subcap fleet to deal with it.
Its not rocket science, its just the top of the food chain. Something's gotta be at the top.
So I'm not a bittervet, but as someone who kept up on 'big eve events' before I ever dreamed of going to scary nullsec, the fall of the NC here now seems anti-climatic like some of the old "big stories of eve" now that I'm a grunt out here. There were no final huge pivotal battles, just a couple ganked straggler/stupid supers and a lot of stand-downs

Every rifter counts friend
This basically.
Mittani has quoted himself many times saying the "NC were wise not to go against those odds". PL has a different attitude and is how they can happily go 70 vs 300 without batting an eyelid (without supers).
The thinkers in Eve won't do that, as on paper it makes no logical sense unless victory is assured.
e: after a few fights at the beginning Atlas went down the same. -A- saw what happened to Atlas and just imploded when we mentioned their space. There are no alamos, no last glorious stands in Eve. When PL does whelp a fleet or bunch of Supers they're considered stupid by the great thinkers who predicted such a disaster.

This whole episiod of eve online has just reinforced the number 1 aspect of the game that will help you win against any alliance no matter how big or how many supers they have.
Am I having FUN ??????
The members of the NC are not. So they aren't in fleet. Until fleets become "fun" the NC won't log in. Till people log in then you can't even begin to talk of tactics & strats.
The NC stopped being fun an so now they will die.
The most interesting part is now "what the political map will look like in 2-3 months"
When 8 months ago i where talking on the rmt thread about 200 supercap fleet, none believed me, since major fleet from a single alliance where Pl with 6-7 titan and 20-25 ms.
now that we have for real this fleet. whiner say OMFG SUPERCAP ARE OP.
No supercap are not op, they are op, when you have it and your enemy dont/or not use it., exactly like will be OP have 200 carrier fleet when your enemy use frigates.
the main problem is not that blob of supercaps are op, but how many alliance in only 6 months literally quadruplicated theyr numbers. if you look the past. the supercap proliferation was much much slower.
So as once i say that in 6 month will be 200x supercap fleet,(and that they will become the true game balance break ) i can say that for christmas probably this number will be double. becouse now to botting this alliance can add technetium. and i am sure that they will not make it vanish on rmt like nc. but will express in more supercap.
So a relatively small number of ppl, will OWn the majority of "conventional alliances" , maybe for once in the eve history, now the possibility that a coalition can really control the entire 0.0 is possible.
russian have theyr bot empires and shitload of region. and other elite alliance will have the technetium and probably create another bot renter empire.
whats lefT? goonswarm test, and aaa&co, who have 0 chance even together to block the incoming 300 supercap fleet. this time even sustained by technetium.(goonswarm is already dead, they just need to wait pl+ evoke+trimk999 and what remain of bob to come )
(4:35:39 PM) Shadoo: they just want to fight supers on supers
(4:35:55 PM) Shadoo: even if they lose 60 and kill 30, these dudes think it's awesome endgame shit v0v
And this is why i love the DRF.
I'm getting ready to go to bed, but I really don't want to because I know there's going to be 5 pages of truly awful posting when I get up...![]()

In a very poor attempt at "leading by example", I replied to the Supercarrier discussion in the supercarrier thread:

Topic:
7 outposts in Tenal and 22 in Tribute is a bit over half the outposts in Vale, so I guess about 1-2 months for those? Is Branch getting hit?

I can't help but feel trolled. Im expecting at any moment a horde of NC dudes to spring from the bushes with some clever ambush. NC you have 50 thousand member accounts at your disposal. It just seems so wrong am terribly disappoint.![]()
Shut the fuck up Jogyn. Your trolling is bad, your numbers are wrong, and your posting is shitty.
For anyone who cares, I posted an image further back in this thread that is the accounting of GSF's income for the months of March and April. We haven't had "all those tech moons" for "at least a year" either. You're also ignoring the many other costs involved with sovereignty (tower fuel, fuel for caps and bridging, reimbursement of subcaps, I could go on) and I have no idea where you pulled the 20B/month number from. I mean Jesus, your post is offensively wrong, especially since GSF goes to farther lengths than any alliance in the game to have open accounting and make sure no one is stealing any ISK.
For reference, here is the chart in question AGAIN:
[spoiler=Warning, real numbers within][/spoiler]
Tbh we stand the fuck down when met with impossible odds just the same. Altho we try a little harder to fight outnumbered and come up with good strategies like the POS shooting ravens, dont post like we go die in a fire no matter what.
Basically you guys are starting to post like the old bobbits and unless you are a member of Nibbletek you should feel bad about that.
I was just going to ask if PL would Leeroy 30 supers or 200 dreads into 75 supercaps and I'd be willing to bet that the answer is no.
Stop whining about capitals. If you pulled your supers out of sanctums or out of safe zone maybe you would have a super fleet. It's nobodies problem but yours.
Ofc it's easier to lose them one by one to a total of 10 supers and 5 titans in last 30-40 days then to field them all together.
Nc had admirable capital fleet 6 month ago with 100 dreads, 100 carriers, 40-50 supers and 30-40 titans - ACTIVE. What happend in 6 monthverconfidence:
I think we were in a similar situation during the PB contract from molle. No we did not suicide 200 dreads but we didnt stand down either. We formed bombers for every CTA and tried to kill people bridging. We formed herocats and tried to snatch straggling supers (hero Fintroll almost succeeded in this once). Perhaps our success was moderate but at least people didnt get completely blueballed.
I'd leeroy 200 dreads into 75 supers if I had enough dictors and support --numerical superiority is always something the NC had, so yes, if they weren't cowards they could have killed supers. Sniper dreads aren't totally outdated.
That doesn't mean supers don't need a nerf though.
Lets see how many - reps i get out of these comments
Just slightly over a year ago i predicted that the NC will die soon. When i said this people laughed and said 'grab a chair while waiting'. They spoke of themselves as been invinsible. I said that every greate empire crumbles and in eve is not different. I am happy that eve proved them wrong. At the end much of the reason for their loss is their own fault. Welcome to the North DRF!
