Why Danton is emo-raging about people losing ships in ways that they actually want to is beyond me, but tbh it's not your decision to be made. The fight was epic, it made history, and it's wasn't nearly as laggy for me as it was alliance mates and allies so I enjoyed every 900 seconds worth, or close to that. True shame the last 2 moms got out :( but who can ***** about breaking a record :)
-- Relating to the hotdrop, shame it didn't happen....although the odds might have been against us it would have been interesting to see how it went down, I can't complain, i'm still hanging on to my ship ;)

Danton basically just missed the point of EVE ... which is actually to have fun.
Putting 8 MS on the field is fun. I know this, I've done it. You're riding high on a boatload of expensive hardware that can perform above and beyond what ordinary carriers can pull off. You know that at any moment the sh*t can hit the fan and that enemy cap fleet will be there to fight. Then its a question of how you react and whether your pilots pull through or panic.
These guys knew Tama was a high traffic zone and they were going to get a fight. They brought ships, they brought friends, and they said "bring it on".
Fighting 8 MS is fun. MS are a pain to hold down, and they're a shiny trophy to land. A support fleet makes it that much worse, as they can break your tackle and screw you up at any point. We flagged for that engagement, so every single one of the 100-odd guys in local had the option to shoot at us at that point. The hostiles had sniper BS, ECM, boatloads of random tackle, and just pandemoneum throughout.
We knew during the whole fight that there are a zillion eyes on Tama, so we're on the timer from the moment we touch down. Any one of the larger forces can muster a response bigger than ours, at which point its our turn to fight our way out.
The battle took place back and forth near the gate. Initially on jump in most of them were at the gate itself. Sniper BS hanging off the gate, and boatloads of small support at close range. HICs grabbed as many as they could (about 4) and the rest warped out. 2 left altogether, 2 stopped at range. We ignored the sub-caps and just put damage on the motherships to drop them fast. Needed that Hel to complete my collection ;) It vaporized in a flash and we ground through the others and the triage carrier trying to support. Meanwhile, we got a warp-in on the two more that were still at range, and got HICs on those plus all our support that could extricate itself.
With the MS by the gate down and the supporting carrier, we swept any other subcaps that were at close range and waited for the siege cycle to finish. Our subcaps struggled to keep the two others pointed against the enemy fleet and we sent the carriers up to help out. Finally the dreads came out of siege and we went to finish the job.
Both MS went down after that and the call was made to finish cycle and jump out. Most dreads made it out, but a few were still stuck in the mass of hostile tackle all over the field due to disconnecting at a key time (when we were warping) or getting tackled as we moved ou. We sent the carriers back to run off the tacklers, swept them off the field, and got our last dreads out, followed by the carriers.
In other words, we had a blast. Which is exactly what you're _supposed_ to do when playing a game. If that's not what you play EVE for, I'd suggest finding something more fun.
Cheers!

I'm not like you who just revel in ships killed, I see if from both ends and I hate to see bad losses.
I do not see any indication of seeing it from both sides from you, all I see is a one-sided argument about "killing FW-motherships doesn't matter/isn't significant". As for my opinion, I don't really 'revel' in ships killed, but I do think it's pretty cool when high numbers of supercapitals are used and get blown up.
Why you need to make it your agenda to try and belittle this achievment, I dunno. What is it that you've accomplished that makes you the compass for what is noteworthy or not. And before you start using the "It's my opinion"-card, try backing your opinion up with argument - otherwise it's plain old whining. Thus far, you've not convinced anyone but yourself that this wasn't a good feat by Cry Havoc and friends. The fact that lag/skills/mods affected the outcome? Well dude, welcome to EVE.

Those militia guys are
Well as CEO of WOLFY I get asked "Can we lose 4 motherships!" ... I'm like "We have 4 motherships?".
It turns out a RL friend of an old corp I'm very much friendly with from time back in Fountain and up north with the MC invasion have lost a RL friend and want to throw motherships at anyone.
Knowing our neighbors we knew once the word got out they would get hot dropped by someone and I put two conditions on the floor.
1) Don't be in WOLFY, Wiz is a great guy but I knew he'd be first to die. I can see it now "another 30 minutes and I'll have that taranis". 2) If we see flames coming out of the mom we are shooting it! **** blues we want mom kills too!
Glad it was BYDI and friends who came in rather than some random NC blob.
Only mail I have in my eve box is from Wiz saying he never had time to get out of corp /o\ And OF Course he dies! And glad to see WOLFY shot him too!
As I didn't know the guy who passed away I can't comment on if this was a fitting tribute, however if anything happened to me in RL I would love for something like this to be done in my honour!
So KUDOS to Channel 4 News Crew. Mad props to BYDI, Invitica et al who must have been totally lost to where the **** did Gallente Militia get all those moms from. Glad it was you and not some 0.0 alliance trying to get into our low sec fun (you chose 0.0... enjoy the blue list now get out of low sec).
Best thing in all this is Psyflame (caldari blobber) on EVE O all excited that the Gallente lost moms. Dude, its internet space ships, try fighting when there is a chance you won't win, trust me IT MAKES YOU FEEL ALIVE! Please resize your signature to the maximum file size of 24000 bytes. Zymurgist |

Edited by: The WiCk3D on 01/08/2009 08:55:28 Six moms killed, new record. Congrats to both parties, it seems like good fun. It is always nice to see multiple super cap kills
And like some of you pointed out - its great that kills were made by lowsec dwellers, not by some big blue blob from 0.0. Maybe it will make some new pilots interested in lowsec, and that can't be bad.

Originally by: Danton Marcellus Going after FW caps is weak, Cry Havoc usually has more praiseworthy kills. This is just fish in a barrel and will do wonders to Federation morale.
Good job dorks suiciding wearing the colors still.
Im not sure how you can call engaging 8 motherships and a support fleet, shooting fish in a barrel. Most people **** their pants at the sight of one super cap.
The hot drop took some organising no doubt, along with one personal hictor for each mom, thats a pretty well pulled off drop.
The bydi/cryhavoc/invicta/laconian's pulled off one of their specials, gg and the milita appear to have honoured a rl friend in true style.
I also take personal offence to your suggestion that FW caps are somehow weaker targets than what? 0.0? nebula rasa?
Go ebay your account to someone who has more clue than you.
Who are you to talk about clues? First you say people would crap their pants seeing one mothership and support then you profess to knowing it's what Cry Havoc do. Why would they then **** their pants when it's them doing what they do and know how to do? Choose a leg and stand on it.
Yes FW caps suggests a weaker opponent as the guys throwing them away themselves admitted, they joined FW for the explicit purpose of showing themselves weak to get a fight. FW fleets really doesn't have capitals to match Cry Havoc, let alone them and friends.
Whoever said Rasa was interested in Caps Online?
Which incarnation of Mitch Taylor are you?
how about this: go be stupid in someplace else. would rephrase this but dont want to get banned again...
