CVA and friends (now Goon pets) have awakened the sleeping bear, provi is gonna burn, get your stuff out now before its to late!

~seriouspost~

I agree CVA & Co made a mistake assaulting Catch, especially at a time when they knew AAA / UK were busy in 49. It was an extremely annoying distraction. They deserve to have an arm torn off for that (ie, D-G), if only to keep them in check.

But I don't for one second think they're seriously allied with Goons, but the goons like to give that impression by sending bomber squads etc, seemingly to support them. What the Goons should bear in mind, is that if they like CVA, that is not doing them any favours at all.

Because SOT were carebears, PL were stale, and GoonFleet was a lousy ally.

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.

LOL G**n's, you have spies in AAA and SYS-K, but now they seem to not know about the "big plan". Liam talked about it days before PL lost those Titans. If your spies were as good as you think they are, you'd have known our plans. Actually, I'm thinking you know the truth and your just chest-beating...again...

Our mission was to distract G**n's in 49- so they could not assist PL or SOT in Fountain. Mission accomplished!!! I'm thinking some G**n feelings are hurt here. Butt-hurt even, c/d? In fact, you guys even admitted it many times in 49- local during our little diversion. So to say you didn't know about it? Lies and deception, what G**n's are all about.

G**n's, you had to make a choice. Fight IT and loose 49-, or stay in 49- to protect your space. Either way you were screwed. Now your friends are in trouble up north yet you still refuse to help them out. Your even laughing about it on your forums! And so are we, thanks!

tl;dr: AAA and friends are controlling G**n's game.

I like the new goon propaganda:

1) Alarm clock cta will make you loose your work/studies.
2) Liam is obsessed with goons and hate them in RL.

Guys, this is a game, no-one hate you :) i even had good fun at the fanfest in RL with goons guys, sorry, but the way this game works is pretty simple:

A) You pick your friends based on common goals/intrest or just because you like them
B) You pick your enemies based on your intrest or what the hell you want.

Then the group A and B kills eachoter for having fun and actually playing this game, it can take weeks, months, years, as long as it's needed.

I chosed goons as my enemy and i want to kill you in game, i understand that you guys live out of propaganda, but come on, find something better!

Have to go now, my obelisk is in jita waiting for cta-escort it to esoteria

PS: just in case someone missed it, the goon capital fleet left fountain the day after we attacked 49, then, PL officially stated that they will not defend their home anymore, don't worry, i know you miss me but be patient please, you can live without me in local for some days come on!

Not convinced that is the reason really.

Looks more like CVA/Proviblock made a dash for some unimportant systems in the HED pipe (prolly aiming for HED later, who knows) and that -A- didnt take kindly to so they decided to burn their space. If you poke the Russian bear it can get really angry, could have told you as much

I have an alt in the battle on provi's side and I can say the biggest problem with this region is you have about 6 or 7 entities that should be one alliance. The end result for members is you have to try to decide which of the competing fleets is the "real" one, then hope the right entity happens to have your alliances standings set so you can get in, then hope the TS/vent info you've saved for the various friendly alliances is up to date.

Frankly I think the region needs to either reform or rightfully get burnt to the ground.

Either way, talk about biting off more than you could chew.

I really hope the "powers to be" within CVA and company pull their heads out and get this aggression with AAA settled. Otherwise, you are going to loose more and more systems, and in the end loose your player base. This is something that I'll bet 80% or more of the Eve community doesn't want to see happen.

It's not that unbelievable when you consider that probably 3/4's of the fleet never loaded grid. Those that were able to had a ridiculous amount of lag; it took me over two and a half minutes to lock the SBU, and a similar amount of time to fire a single shot from my Ferox. You can beat your chest all you want about how you were able to destroy x number of capitals, y number of battleships, etc..., but it's not like it's hard to do when your opponent can't move, shoot, warp, or even see anything on grid (if they can even see anything but a loading screen).

Bear in mind I'm not saying that we'd have won if the conditions were better; I very much doubt we'd have been able to defend against 15 titans, 13 motherships, and lord knows how many carriers/dreadnoughts + whatever you had on standby. However, there would have been more losses on your side, I'm sure.

I really hope the "powers to be" within CVA and company pull their heads out and get this aggression with AAA settled. Otherwise, you are going to loose more and more systems, and in the end loose your player base. This is something that I'll bet 80% or more of the Eve community doesn't want to see happen.

You know I really screwed up. I was suppose to grab the suggestion box on my way out of d-g but forgot. Please drop a note in there and we'll pick it up later kay? ;)

As for chest beating .. well tbh I think the boys have a right to celebrate, its nice to finally be able to dock in Providence again.

Hmmm, I seem to have got dragged into replying to rubbish on CAOD, I must be in a good mood

Anyone else simply amazed that the node didn't just die, period? Talk all you want about losses and whatnot, but 1600 peeps in local is a record, isn't it?

If I remember correctly, during the Delve Mrk 2, a certain system hit 1700+ people. HOWEVER, I could be wrong. If not, you would be very correct and I'm impressed at the number.

I had fun.

I was my first large fleet engagement. I haven't been playing the game long and the preparation and time to set it up and get into the fight was a lot of fun. It felt epic.

We were cyno'd in and the grid seemed fine with our fleet inside a PoS. We were directed to take our fleet and assist in a SBU takedown. When the grid loaded, the reds warped off and we were directed to begin taking down targets.

I began to lock the first on the list and attempted to launch drones. It took me roughly 3 minutes to lock my first target down and my drones never made it out. Other people in the fleet were able to cycle weapons, however I never got the chance.

Eventually our fleet was able to take out the reds on grid and begin attacking the SBU. I eventually got the SBU targeted and took roughly 5 minutes to lock. My drones weren't out yet so as a low skill Gallente pilot, I really wasn't doing any damage. Sadly, we didn't get the SBU down because a cap fleet warped in on us and we were directed to warp off. At which point I activated my warp drives and preyed.

I made it out safely... and then my client crashed with some kind of EVE memory error (sent the report).

Couldn't load back into game for a few hours when the node finally cooled off.

It was a cool experience to get into a large cap fleet fight like this and was a lot of fun getting setup to fight. However, the final encounter was very disappointing. If only I could have gotten my drones out and participated.

Anyway, GF had a lot of fun. I hope CCP is able to get their servers up to par so that much larger encounters are possible. With the growth of EVE, battles will only become larger, not smaller.

Omal, great attitude! Seriously, I'm glad you liked the big fleet fight, its a real shame that the grid was so locked up for most players on the field. Personally, my Mega's guns were taking anywhere from 30 seconds to 4 minutues to cycle. And forget about even switching ammo on the grid. In the last engagement where Provi lost most of the Dreads, you guys warped in a BS/BC/tackling fleet. My FC was calling targets that never did load on my overview.

In short, big battles can be fun, just not when they are this size with 1600+ in local. Stay positive, have fun, and remember one thing. Eve is just a game, its nothing personal!

I have had no real personal experience with CVA in the past (other than having to shoot them around HED area for the past week and some). They do not seem that diciplined. I see them kinda like militia - a somewhat loose assosiation of all providence residents (that hit you more with mass than quality). They can draw some impressive numbers occasionaly but dunno how sustainable those numbers are. 40 stations is long to grind thru also, so dunno if we can spare the time. If we can spare the time then I do not see how the militia style organization would be able to face the 'regluar army'. Battlecruiser blobs do not cut it when you are facing dozen titans and few hundred capitals with support.

Have not been online past 2 days but as far as I know several capital fleets in AAA+Stain side have not been involved in the CVA thing so far so there is additional room for escalation.

Then again I'm sure the CVA leaders are not dumb either and might have some aces hidden somewhere in their sleeve. Or be able to sort this thing out diplomatically somehow if this is still possible). We will see how this turns out. One thing is certain - I am far too high in the alphabet. So do me favor will ya, sort from Z to A next time.

The great thing about Operation Deliverance isn't about having the opportunity to fight in massive fleet engagements. It's about having the opportunity but choosing to continue ratting instead.

As far as I could tell, numbers at 1600 were approximately 700 -A- block and 900 Providence block. The number of Capitals on each side seemed to be about 160 each, with the -A- block having more super-capitals.

Anyone else care to provide a more exact set of numbers?

From my perspective as a grunt fighting on the CVA side, it was mostly frustrating. I constantly felt like I was on the verge of a really fun fleet fight (something I'd never done or even seen before, having newly migrated to 0.0)...but I'd spend the whole thing staring at the loading screen, or load but my guns wouldn't work, or load with working guns and targeting didn't work. I don't mind dying, I don't like losing but accept that it's a fact of life in 0.0 sometimes, but it sucks to not even get in on the pew-pews because of server issues.

Personal highlights from the Battle of D-G: seeing a Titan up close for the first time, cyno-jumping into a hostile system, and seeing a fleet of 17 carriers up close from my pod. The frantic escape from the system just minutes before the jump bridge failed was exciting, too.

As for the overall battle: Provibloc pilots need to dry their tears. We got our butts sawed off and handed to us because -A- fought better. Period, no excuses. Crying on the forums about lag or blobs or "AAA pets" is just acting like a sore loser. If you don't want to hear AAA pilots talking smack, then you and me and everyone else in Provibloc needs to be better next time. GF to -A-.

Provibloc, as you know AAA and UK can field a very substantial capital fleet with a ton of support. Just remember, they have friends that will have their capital fleets free in a few days. SYS-K can field over 300 capitals, and IT is only a few jumps away in Delve/Querious, with a massive capital and support fleet. If you want to continue to escalate this situation, I would advise you do a few calculations first.

To the grunts of the Provibloc, go to your leaders and ask them WTF! I still don't get what Provi is trying to accomplish. I think the obvious is quite obvious. Am I missing something?

Seeing as this whole thing started by Holders getting basically Goon allied by attacking -A- while it was attacking Goons in querious it is highly unlikely that IT would be interested in opposing their removal if Holders keep insisting on escalation of the conflict. If Holders think they can win this conflict then they must have helluva ace somewhere in their sleeve. Granted robes have big sleeves, but not big enough to keep capital fleet of that size. Other than IT there is no one available and able in the area to tilt the tide for them when it comes to opposing Souther Axsis. IT is impressive force well worth the respect, but I do not see currently motivation to get involved in Holders side.

Goons might still pack enough puntch to be that ace also, but that kind of Joker has some rather fatal strings attached to it for Holders as it would flush down the remaining shreds of peaceful solution. And to be honest I do not think even getting properly in bed with goons would save their arse as at that point IT would most likely get involved, and not on the Holders side.
