for 1000 Alex what is,
the only thing to kill a supercap blob is a bigger blob?
In my opinion?
1) Being able to beat a 15 minute logoff timer reliably.
2) Soul-crushing lag, mostly induced by FBs, which helps with #1.
3) Massed ECM bursts.
I'm not sure what any of this has to do with blowing your supercap fleet on a system you can just let fall and take again later, LXQ2 style.

Couldn't resist, had to go see this epic battle...that wasn't
It was pretty funny to hear DRF dropped 35+ supers on a stealth bomber fleet.
I think you have little experience in massive lag fights. Heavy lags usually prevent supers from disappearing in 15min and 30 dead titans in Uemon and o2o are best evidence. Recently CCP made progress in lag problem, and lag manifestations also have changed. We are still trying to find in what way and how repeatable/reliable they are.
ECM-bursts are also hardly a problem in no-lags, targets die anyway in 10 seconds, in heavy lags it depends.
There are rumors goons are coming today. Troll or not?
That's gotta be a troll...DRF doesn't need Goons. Raiden(dot) is bringing a superfleet down though to add to the dog pile lol.
We were down in Fountain but that was just to help our old bffs MM test out their Sacfleet.
HED has fallen.
So, we know that Vuk killed off the NC..... so who is at fault in the case of AAA and it's demise.

nc also defended tribute a few times, but obviously not the most recent attacks sometimes its best for things to die including -a-
Elite PvPers hurry up and reset your Russian masters so there is a little competition. Our map will look like Chinas soon, except all one color.

There will be no AAA demise. They fall back to Stain and regroup. Some dooders will leave...they have new targets in Catch and eventually, they'll attack.
Question is whether they will again blue up with SE and C0ven or whether they will simply roam the shit outta each other in Eastern Stain.
Russians are how they are.... Overlord masters of eve. It's just sad to see how pathetic the once great and free alliances like evoke and NC. have become like the alliances they used to fight. They're just pawns to the DRF. They used to go up against the odds, but not anymore. Shame.
They're going to reset you once your usefulness has run out btw. The map will definitely look like the Chinese server. It will turn into a Russian server. =)
Lagged out battles with supers I've been in:
LXQ2
Y-W
Uemon
O2O (every battle where supers actually died except one)
When PL logged off their supers in Y-W, they reliably disappeared after 15 minutes. Crazy-ass "logged off for 17 hours" stuff happens, but in general, they'd beat the timer. Otherwise there would be about 200 dead supers in O2O instead of 60(?).Heavy lags usually prevent supers from disappearing in 15min and 30 dead titans in Uemon and o2o are best evidence. Recently CCP made progress in lag problem, and lag manifestations also have changed.
It's a problem for the side that doesn't have a capital/supercapital advantage, since they are forced to rely on scrubcap logistics.ECM-bursts are also hardly a problem in no-lags, targets die anyway in 10 seconds, in heavy lags it depends.

i'm always intrigued when people whine, whether local chat or on kugus, about the other side not suiciding into them. Whether its a rifter fleet into a bc fleet, or a small supercapital fleet into a giant one, as if the complaints will inspire the other side to dismiss all logic and jump in anyways.
You want a fight? Bring less people.I mean shit, you have everyone minus PL that was used to drop the entire Northern Coalition. OR... use strategy and sneak raiiden/nc. down for a specific timers and see if they can get the drop on -A-. Alas, none of that happened and DRF gets exactly what everyone expected. A system without a fight while -a- drops back and waits for the next opportunity.
“Isn't it funny how the mood can be ruined so quickly by just one busted condom”
We want to win and are doing just that. Good fights and all that is for the main stream poster...the goal is to win and move onto the next target.
Winning is all that matters........ the rest is just words.

When are we going to start using Cold War analogies? Because clearly the iron curtain is descending on the free lands of the west.
"It pains me to say it but you are a good poster." - Vonq
See, this is the thing. I'm not going to pretend -a- should have dropped all their supers into HED and hoped for the best, that would have been dumb. I'm saying that the fact the current eve metagame makes people prioritize their supers over their sov, when it should be the other way around, is madgay. -A- were in the right to just go "fuck this shit, we can retake it later", but eve shouldn't be that way. Sov should be valuable and worth fighting to keep.
Since you negrepped me, I'll assume you thought I was whining, I wasn't. If you had jumped all your dudes into HED I'd have called you a dumbfuck. Instead, read my reasoning. If anyone is to blame for the terribleness of all this, it's CCP, not -A- or DRF.
Given the combined forces of NC(Dot), Raiden(Dot), WN, XEATHXX and RA, ABloc would've been hard pressed to win a fight even if PL were standing right next to em in all of their smug glory.
Peeps can call ABloc shitty in general, DRF shitty for super blobbing or whatever but its a simple and brutal numbers game now. ABloc doesn't have a fucking prayer with numbers like that. So yea they'll shake their epeen in local chat while docked/safed and pull back to Stain and let the DRF Bloc grind away.
Overall I'm very disappointed. There hasn't been a real scap battle since O2O- and Uemon and before that god knows. At this point it's a matter of perception, I think. MM had the decision to welp its scap fleet or lose tribute (or both but honestly who gives a fuck) and they gave it all up. The point is fuck scap pilots for not wanting to welp the shit out of their space-tombs.
lol meanwhile in impass, a bot is configured incorrectly http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_related&kll_id=10374153
-A- are giant risk averse pussies in total non shocker
No wonder AICO can do nothing now, "we control their game". But when DRF were fighting NC, initiative was in hands of -A-. They used an opportunity and attacked WN lands, forcing DRF either to fight on two fronts or abandon regions. WN chose second option. -A- took empty WN regions and stopped on RED/Solar border. And that's what I never understood, why did they stop. The moment they stop they lost initiative.
Yes, there are many "what would happen if" -A- would attack RED, but in any case -A- would fight real people, not structures, gain some experience, gain some understanding how laggy blob fights work etc. -A- pilots were crying on ever forum that they are ready to face everything DRF gonna send down south. Well, we are here, and somehow I don't feel -A- are ready, looks like grinding structures did no good to them.
My point is, -A- did attack DRF but didn't evolve that attack to it's logical conclusion - second front on DRF, and that was biggest mistake. They cried how ready they are to fight, but when it really came to start fighting, they did stop.
I'd be risk adverse too if my supers had a 1% of victory. Especially if i knew i couldn't replace them easily with moongoo isk.
The truth is..... all we need to kill now is 1 cyno jammer at a time and its game over. No one has the ability to match our supers and at the end of the day its all that matters. The goal was to remove AICO supers from the game by blowing them up, but taking Catch will do just as well.
Learn Russian or get Omeega to translate. 0.0 is game over now.
I have waited for over a year to do this .....![]()

OK then, I misunderstood you, my bad. I also agree totally, it shouldn't make sense to simply trade your space to maintain your supercap fleet.
The way I remember so many of them beating the timer was the FC saying, "check these fuckin' supers, find one still in local!" and we'd pick one, he'd drop from local and 15 minutes later disappeared.

Unfortunately, what this man says is true. The Russian players have taken control of the better part of 0.0.
They likely will have control/influence over 0.0 for some time to come.
This isn't due to supercapitals being overpowered. It isn't due to broken game mechanics.
It's simply a result of our inabilities as players to adapt and overcome.
The Russian people have proven that they are more disciplined than we are. Rather than bicker amongst each other, or allow chains of command to crumble, they work together for a common goal. They build a sense of camaraderie with one another and work like a family. Western alliances do not share that and have less loyal and weaker pilots as a result.
It is in this ultimate demise that we must now realize how weak we really were through it all.
The mistakes we have made will haunt us for many years to come.
Unlike the Russian players, we won't learn from our mistakes, but ignorantly take steps backwards as history has proven.
I don't represent -A- in what I am saying but I am speaking broadly about the entire "Western-world" player base. ( I have no affiliation to -A- or its allies )
The bear is disciplined, it is eager, it will continue to conquer us until we realize that we must deal with it.
In the real world the Russian people have proven their iron resolve on numerous occasions in history. The same should have been expected in this game.
Their mighty nation and its satellites was barely kept at bay by the threat of sure and definite annihilation. ( Oppenheimers deadly toy; nukes ).
Without those weapons of mass destruction the Russians would have undoubtedly engulfed the West as they have in this game.
Unless you are a member of the DRF, look in the mirror, you allowed this to happen. What will you do now?
WE DIDN'T LISTEN
Forget it. That is how Eve goes. We pull back, bunker up in Stain and hit from there.You want a fight? Bring less people.I mean shit, you have everyone minus PL that was used to drop the entire Northern Coalition.![]()
