We all know how you took Delve in first place. That alone makes this very different. Not to mention you actually started with coalition **** in first place. Well not you. Goons.
Also Fred0 wht they are referring is large fleet fights that matter for taking space. They are completly skill less now as what they used to be. Not small scale pvp where skill still prevails.
But nice spin.
Hardly. I know that remembering the "golden age" is the cool thing to do, but fleet fights were lagged messes with people never loading, black screening, crashing, 10 minutes module activation, relogging games... same went with capital spider tanks and titans, the lag was often so thick that people couldn't do anything about it.
Now with Stackless IO people can actually control their ships, manouver and fire. How is this worse than the laggy pieces of crap we had to fight, I have no idea.
One other thing about this "coalition" thing you seem to despise so much. Goonfleet (the corp mind you, not the alliance) was founded in late 2005, and at that time BoB already had pet alliances, not to mention the help of "neutral" entities like MC, making your assumption wrong.
Nostalgia and pink-tinted glasses make things look different from what they actually were.
I'm not going to bother logging in to verify, but I can't help but assume you didn't play in 03/04.
Now, what others and I are referring to is fleet fights pre-caps. Fleet fights weren't complete lagfests due to the fact that the amount of players present didn't create it. That, combined with the fact that numbers were far less meant that the quality of pilots meant far more due to the quantity present. If 20 bs aren't shooting the primary in a fleet comprised of 300 bs the outcome of the primary isn't going to make much difference, however when 5 bs aren't shooting the primary in a fleet comprised of 30 bs it makes a huge difference. Loss's were also amplified because of the small amounts of numbers.
Seriously, someone here really beleive that piloting a BS in a fleetfight requires skills? MWD out of the bubbles, and listen to your ****ing fleet co to shoot at the primary? Does that require such an insane amount of skills to be well exectuted?
