Figured I'd start a thread on battles around Delve. This appears to be the main theater at the moment for the war between the GBC and the Coalition.
Date: January 24/25 Systems: YZ9-F6 & 319-3D
Around 20.00 EVT Stan from DICE formed up a gang in PR-. Scouts had reported multiple hostile gangs towards W-K, near the border with Querious. Actual numbers are always hard to estimate, but between the different enemy alliance it was around 150 ships.
We set out from PR- with about 60 pilots towards 319, to see if we could pick a fight with elements of the hostiles before they could all merge. We jump into 319 at around 20.30 and a fight starts at the gate. Loading times and lag weren't too bad. TCF and UNL first engaged at range, but then started warping in closer. After the jump-in, we reformed at planet 6 to get everyone together again from the emergency-warps. We took the fight at the gate, planned to be at 100KM, but we landed in a dictor bubble, about 10 off the gate.
Boost MWDs, align for the sun, zoom zoom. BoB got hit hard in this engagement and we were forced off the gate. We regrouped at a friendly POS to assess the situation.
About half an hour goes by, reinforcements are formed up in PR- and proceed to a nearby system. At 21.20 we light a cyno and a friendly titan bridges in our reinforcements, at the same time our fleet already in 319 warps to a covert ops near the gate, about 100k off one of the two enemy groups off the gate. Divided up, the enemy fleets eventually get forced off the YZ9 gate in 319 and we regroup on the gate with our reinforcements.
About 10 minutes later, more coalition jump into 319 and together with what was left of their earlier fleet, they all land on the YZ9 gate in jump range. BoB fleet was about 0-20KM off the gate and I tell all support to start jumping into YZ9, start dropping bubbles and BS to approach the gate with MWD and get ready to jump.
At 2145, Carnage unfolds in YZ9. Dictors drop bubbles, people emergency warp all over the place. Local is at 210-250 and lag for the first minutes is harsh, really harsh. Eventually we start loading, targets get called, start taking some damage, then the nodes starts catching up. I die horribly on my battleship char and the battle rages on for another hour and fifteen minutes.
Both sides bring in reinforcements and the system keeps laggy, albeit playable. BoB pilots that lose ships get told to group up in PR-, because some enemy support are camping the route from PR-, good move on their side. We end up finally holding the field on the 319 gate after what seems an eternity. Final targets get called and our PR- reinforcements get in. After some small skirmishes around the station in YZ9 and the FWST gate we call an end to the looting, pop all remaining cans and head back to PR-. The euros need some sleep badly.
Thanks for the fight, could do without the lag, but it is to be expected when you jump 200+ people into a system together and start shooting ****! :)
I'll try to keep this thread updated with fights. Others feel free to do so as well, but try to keep away from inflammatory comments. (oh gosh, what did I just ask..) -

Edited by: Lasakywa on 25/01/2008 00:17:41 Nice report, waagaa.
It was a great fight, i enjoyed it.
The lag was horrible at the beginning, but it was still playable, even after 20-30 minutes.
You finally won, your HQ is 2 jumps away, our is 10 jumps away
Get ready for the next battle (and without titans, like this time )

Sounded like a good fight on TS, I was one of the unlucky few who did not load into 319 correctly and e-warped right into the main hostile fleet. Thanks for the good times CCP. :P
gf though!

Edited by: Jane Spondogolo on 25/01/2008 01:00:56 Observation: Overdoing the supercap thing makes the fight boring as hell.
This is what happens if its not overdone. :) People have fun.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again; Supercaps are buzz-kills for both side. Sure theres some fun in watching the other side anihilated by someone elses single butan press, but its never as fun as doing it yourself.
Its even better if the concept of mutually assured Titan carnage is absent, so folks can put on the best duds and bring out the fun T2 junk.
Sounds like fun boys. ______ Unrepentant Southern Federation Cheerleader.

This is the first fleet fight that I've enjoyed in a long time. I managed to get a lock on quite a few people when the grid finally loaded for me, and pew-pewed in my Brutix of Doom before finally melting (Couldn't turn my armor reps on!).
Podded back, grabbed another ship and headed out, but by the time I was 2 jumps away the order was given to warp off.

This is probably the 3rd time in 3+ yrs of play that I have posted on these board.
But I had to log in and say, that was no Fleet Fight, that was a "BRAWL" on the 319 gate. 0-50 km range, no fancy dancing around for position, both sides just jumped in and started shooting. And both sides stayed until the very end. Well done everyone. I had a blast.
Thanks for the fight.

Was a blast, no pun intended!
Lag nuked my alt Caelum when i logged back in at 319 @ yz gate; saw the gate, no hostiles then exploded.
Switched to another alt, Alumar, somehow after 30min of loading got the raven on the field and had a great time finishing up the field. Good slugfest

...GREAT battle report, Waagaa! That was a pleasure to read, informative, with a real glimpse into the strategies of both sides. And an even greater pleasure to see that both sides are avoiding flame wars here. Believe me, the greater Eve community could care less about e-peen, we just wanna read about the war like it was a pager-turner of Ludlum novel! Keep it up!
