This way, a lot of crappy ships died, resets were had, content was created, people were outraged, amused, intrigued, but in any case the strong reaction proves that it was quality content. Plus Hans got to smugface post "Working as intended" again.
Op success.
I think you are under- estimating what Caldari did over the last few days. We were very close to capturing Rak and IMO would have captured it had the rest of us known what was planned there. The biggest reason Rak wasn't captured is because the plexing started far too late and the amount of time need to go to vulnerable, drug us into time zone when you Gals could field better numbers.
There was a group of us on the night before, that could have very easily had that system close to vulnerable prior to that attack. We were actually looking for a target system but got bored and PVP'd instead, figuring there wouldn't be anyone to shoot a bunker anyway.
A little shared information among Caldari corps that knew, would have gone a very long way and I'm pretty sure had that happened with the numbers we had, Rak would of been ours.
After Rak, Caldari pushed Aiv into vulnerable status I believe 2 times. I wasn't around for this as I was a bit tired from fighting all night & day in Rak, so I dunno what all happened there other than I know the bunker was shot at at least two times.
However prior to this we had already seen some of the Gals bringing Caps into Eha.. While maybe we did not manage to force a system flip, we did manage to stop you Gals from capturing Eha or any other target systems you may of had prior to the attacks on Rak/Nis & then Aiv.
You guys really didn't have the ability to capture any new systems because we forced you to defend systems instead. I think Caldari didn't have any big pushes today prior to DT simply because most were likely burnt out on it and you Gals were not making any pushes at that point other than small attack on Akadgi and that was held off as well.
