 Local topped out a bit over 1200, very laggy but playable, before the node crash. It looked like the crash really hurt CVA's chances in the fight; after the 49- debacle AAA and Stainwagon are quite familiar with the node crash experience and were able to get formed up and back in position promptly. In contrast, as far as I could tell, CVA took about ten minutes longer and lost a much larger chunk of their overall numbers (whether to hung at login screen or disgust). Post-crash, local topped out around 900ish.
 
 I'm not in the know, but I really doubt that 'Providence will burn'; that'd be a couple months of work for space that neither AAA or Stainwagon really wants. But some sort of response is necessary; the stab at AAA's space while they were deployed to 49- was rather obnoxious. I doubt AAA would have been that ****ed off if CVA did a little sov-skirmishing in low priority systems when AAA was bored and looking for a fight (though I could be wrong..), but doing it while they were committed to a difficult campaign was a thumb in the eye.

 What? I thought that was just supposed to be a diversion so IT could take fountain, now you're saying that was a difficult campaign?
 
 
 I think it was something like this:
 
 Primary Objective: pick fight with goons to inconvenience any goon attempts to support PL
 Secondary Objective: get some action
 Bonus Objective: take 49-
 
 If we'd taken it, I doubt it would have just ended there, 'cuz you'd have tried to take it back.

  Originally by: Itzena Okay, now explain why the 'fight' for Fountain was pretty much all over before 49- was hit.
 
 
 Because SOT were carebears, PL were stale, and GoonFleet was a lousy ally.

  Originally by: Lord Zim I still don't see why this should be classified as a "difficult campaign", given the primary and secondary objectives don't really involve a lot of required effort if that was all you wanted to do.
 
 
 Given the current sov mechanics, any attempt to take space from a healthy alliance is a difficult campaign. Doing so on a scale that involves node regular node crashes moreso.

 Looks like GoonFleet, after their rather ugly attempts to link themselves to CVA, are making it up by dropping sov to distract AAA and Stainwagon. Only time will tell if this gambit succeeds, but one cannot help but applaud such a selfless gesture on GoonFleet's part.
