No, they made a campaign called "MAX" which wasn't about gaining SOV. It was simply about doing MAXimum Damage.
BoB humbly accepted Delve as their home. They had the means to take down more regions, I'm sure.
However, unlike GoonSwarm, they liked to keep enemies. Which, in my opinion, is in good sportsmanship. What is the point of NAPing everyone and gaining complete control.
There will be minimal conflicts. Major power blocks will dictate if you're even *ABLE* to live in 0.0. It's unfair monopolization.
IMHO, it's going to ruin this aspect of the game.

While EVE-online is a spaceship video game. Many IRL naval tactics can still be used within it.
While this is digital make-believe warfare. So are the flight simulators that aviators utilize.
So are the video games four and five star generals use to understand tactics better.
So are games like America's Army that US Soldiers use to understand warfare better.
Digital simulation, while make believe, is an effective way to understand warfare.
Man created war. Man created games that employ war.
It's all the same.

1.) Attrition.
Please take a moment and explain how attrition is not a part of every war.
Well, lets first look at what Attrition Warfare is.
Attrition Warfare is: Attrition Warfare is a tactic in which one party in a conflict attempts to wear down the other through use of superior forces in NUMBER. Meaning Quantity.
This will also help you understand: Most military theorists[who?] and strategics like Sun Tzu have viewed attrition warfare as something to be avoided. In the sense that attrition warfare represents an attempt to grind down an opponent through superior numbers, it represents the opposite of the usual principles of war, where one attempts to achieve decisive victories through manoeuvre, concentration of force, surprise, and the like. On the other hand, a side which perceives itself to be at a marked disadvantage in manoeuvre warfare or unit tactics may deliberately seek out attrition warfare to neutralize its opponent's advantages.
at⋅tri⋅tion /əˈtrɪʃən/ Pronunciation [uh-trish-uhn] ûnoun 1. a reduction or decrease in numbers, size, or strength

Ah, Snowden Vel. Your time in goonswarm has diminished your intelligence.
Remember, the word "attrition" is only ONE part of the tactical designation known as "ATTRITION WARFARE". Congratulations, you have been educated.

What is even funnier, I wasn't even talking about "MAX" .. BOB/KEN failed the minute they "Stole Chowdown's Targets" (Molle's words paraphrased) .. Pity those targets shot back .. Ever since then, Bob has lost region after region. Dispute the figures or not, but that is when they were at their height ..

In RL, attrition warfare is mainly to be avoided because *oh wonder* soldiers don't magically respawn when they die.
In EVE, the fact that everyone respawns pretty much instantly without significant losses (plus current POS mechanics) make attrition warfare the default situation for any territorial conflict.

Originally by: Virum Acuedalla This is what makes Eve such a wonderful game. Invariably after the take over of Delve is complete and things "settle down", you're going to see someone get ambitious. Be it because of disgruntled leadership, new leadership etc. one of the many alliances may try to make a run at the NC, or they tear themselves apart. It may not happen for a while but everyone gets bored some time, and when that happens it will be all out war again.
You mean like the time ED/IRC started a new conflict with RA after BoB was disbanded and ended up having some of their assets stolen by goons, atacked by RA, UNL, Rebelion and whatever other alliance from the south and Majesta and the rest of the NC b-teams from the west in a classic 10 alliance vs 3 blob warfare?
Yes, i too think EVE will resume its fair non-blob honorable conflics once the things "settle down".
Heh, I was thinking more along the lines of something massive but the point is well taken. Wars are raging all around! Under new ownership |

because we understand that eve is a spaceship game, goonswarm is a successful spaceholding alliance
because you are desperately trying to apply sun tzu to a spaceship game, you are some guy in goodfellas, one of the most catastrophic failures vomited forth by the GBC vassal system
voluntary participation and no risk of death or bodily injury ruins most of your silly ideas about 'real world' tactics and war advice
why am i even explaining this ugh go back to your sun tzu and your clausewitz and i'll focus on sov claims and towers and jammers and stuff that actually involves eve

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attrition_warfare
Look at your post that I initially quoted. You simply said we use "attrition".
That's like saying wars are won by killing people.
If you meant "attrition warfare" you should have used the term "attrition warfare". You have now been educated on ~communicating your ideas clearly~

Teki, people don't die or get hurt in eve. People quit when they get bored or frustrated.
This is why sun tzu never said anything in the ballpark of "thou shalt not blueballs your young warriors on a friday night with a pos shoot" (a word of wisdom that the famous FC Shadoo should learn to heed)

Yeah Flinx you gay.
In eve when the FC calls: "GIVE 'EM A BROADSIDE" you can do that just like in RL. Also in RL the FC can call siege green and shoot RL POSes with RL Dreads except Battleships are the ones you siege in RL because they are bigger buy whatev. Double clicking in space is like exactly like flying in RL. Americas army, you get to do like pretend medical work which is the exact same as RL medical work.

hes got a point really, i mean what do main 0.0 alliances do now..just kill poses thats it really and thats when the large fleet battles happen, and alot of the time its just waiting about, then big flash DD everyone goes home!..Yes ok ppl do roams but most of the time its killin poses and no time to roam. Somethings got to be changed, dunno what tho. I still think limiting alliances to the amount of space they can gainwould be better, would encourage more real pvp in 0.0. Would cut down on blobs, just constant pos bashing. You cant add more space cos the napfest will just take it, but more and more ppl are joining and dont have a chance. I cant understand why CCP are not doing anything about it.

You're very simple.
First of all, modern day Navies don't utilize battleships anymore, they don't "broadside" anyone.
However, for some odd reason, they still utilize the same principles as they did when wooden ships existed with cannons.
Maneuvering all falls back to its basic roots. Logistics all fall back to their basic roots.
Tactical awareness, stressed decision making, espionage, all of these factors come from the real world.
After all, it is real people behind the computer screens.
IRL we don't have scouts, I guess.
IRL we don't have naval logistics, I suppose.
Hell, we don't even refit our war planes, ships, or land craft for specific purposes, do we?
What I was getting at is the basic tactics still apply to war in any degree.
