supercaps are superfun for people who are supershit.
not even kidding, caps are a great leveler for people with no ability at the game as they require no personal ability to fly. |

I just watched one of the most boring battles ive seen in awhile which is a shame because it could have, should been so much more.
You had over 500 CAPITALS on the field at once. 15 titans, 182 supers, 250+ carriers, 100+ dreads, and over 500 subcaps on the same grid.... Instead of being a glorious battle it was a slow moving blob.... FC calls target... everyone fires at target x super//carrier//dread. Ship dies. Next target in line gets killed. Even without the TiDi at 10% I don't think it would have been that much better....
Where's the tactics, the excitement, the enjoyment of a big capital space battle??? After seeing what actually happens when you have an amount of isk that in real world dollars could easily buy a fairly nice car that took years of total player time to build you can have it....
I just can't see the fun in flying a super or titan anymore....
Side Note: Alt.... I am quite happy in null sec currently doing skirmishes..
Welcome to the wake up call .... now enjoy those small fights mate .Specially the 1vs1 you should treasure even if you did loose 
We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

To be frank after watching this supposed "epic" clash made me want save the Damsel for the 7439th time compared to engaging in large fleet battles in low / null sec. How could you be remotely satisfied with the fight? You been **** on that much, friend?
All I could think when watching was....really?? |

It's quite simple , there are people who enjoy being told what to do and there are people who like to keep it small so they're part in the battle evolves around more then just pressing F1.Also if your in a small group what you do ''shows out more'' then when in a large blob making it more satisfying for the person flying that ship.Certainly if your not into sov stuff.
Is any of these two lesser/better?Helll no we all play how we like it but it's not because the OP says he doesnt see the fun in blob warfare that he should be seen as someone who dislikes pvp , is risk averse or is a hghsecboy.His flavour just more lies in small scale wich i can really understand.

Well to most vets that play, losing a Frig, BC or BS doesn't get the adrenaline rushing anymore. The possibility of losing or inflicting billions of isk loss still does tho. A battle can be all smooth and easy going and you feel invincible in your supercap with all your supercap friends around, and all of the sudden you get spammed by dictors and hictors and hostile supers jump in and no one has a clue what is going on, what to do, fight or retreat? I would say that gets even the most bitter vets adrenaline rushing still. It might look boring from the outside, but on the inside it is hectic, wrong decisions can break your neck, good decisions can save your life, and sometimes no matter what you do, you are ******, you just dont know it yet.
Also, no one wants to lose a super, it is humiliating no matter how good you fight. So you see, there is alot at stake when you fly a super, and you will be VERY eager to NOT lose it in a stupid or even glorious way. |

Hey man, if you're the kinda guy who likes sitting in a blob of capital ships while watching your modules flash for hours hoping you actually do something, power to ya!
I guess we all find different things entertaining. For me I like combat.
Anyways logging off for now. Next time you have one of these epic encounters don't bother waking me up. I got better things to do like...keeping my eyes shut. |

Its ok, every fresh player dream about titan,nyx etc, but after some time like 90% of them realize this is totaly boring and expensiv playground, in general large battles are full of stres and lag, and even titan may explode in less than 50sec when large group of capitals focus fire. EvE isn't game, its style of living. |

So let me get this straight: So some high sec people ar ein this thread commenting about how "boring" a big huge epic supercapital fight was.
The same people that constantly tell us that "we" ruined null sec because everyone (especially huge groups like Goons and TEST) are "blue to everyone" and that null sec is so empty because no fights ever happen there etc etc.
High Sec people....
The same people who defend AFK MINING and and other super boring activities and who can't be bnother to risk so much as a rifter outside of the protective skirts of CONCORD are in this thread looking down on people who (in te finest EVE tradition) risked ships litterally worth 10s or 100s of thousands of real dollars....
If you ever want to know why I and others like me dispise the average "high sec/carebar/solo player" and wish they all GB2WoW, this thread is a very good point of reference. |

goona put my grain of sand here, well the battle sounds like fun 6000+ guys in local, but most part of them blues sh*tting each other with their capital ships.
to be honest, i dream to have my own cap, but seeing more big ships than small or medium sized ones just doesnt feel like combat, i mean.
im used to the philosophy of fighters vs caps, or more realistic planes vs battleships. so it looks a bit weird to see such blob on the battlefield, without organization, this adding that these ships are slow has hell that they practically arent moving.
also, the effort that has to put the server in mantaining the battle without going down, and the number of players which doesnt allow to see sh*t on the screen, you have to see the battle from far away.
dont want to discourage cap pilots, but man, i was expecting something more, you know, dinamic (at least in terms of what dinamic means in EVE) |

Try understand that large group of hi sec players or these who for some reason stop pvp, are also veterans bored of this game mechanic because they taste this game aspects (sov war) years ago, realy come on, not every player are slave of pvp forever for years, i was in null space involed to this sov war long time ago, few years before you create this character which you use it in forum, why you generalise all people, you sound like student with big ego who think is smarter than old proffesor.
Focusing only on pvp doesn't make you better, it may boost only ego, but nothing more. EvE isn't game, its style of living. |

wish i had been in on it, don't have the isk or the connex though, i'm too a point where everything i can do in eve with a few billion isk bores me, the problem is that i don't have many billions of isk to do something entertaining, i'm starting to see how people eventually quit EVE.. even if i did have the isk, i'd probably just get disconnected and lose my super  |

I dunno I was on the field in a HIC and I must say I personally was bored as hell, maybe for the capital pilots it was a bit more exciting I hope. |

Being there is way different from watching a stream.
Being surrounded in fleet by your alliance buddies, watching as their ships go bang.
Or watching your fleet slowly eat through the enemy.
A direct quote from a super pilot in my alliance last night as they jumped into Asakai
" I'm shaking so hard i can barely configure my ship "
Huge cap battles are a rush, and are most definitively one of the finer experiences the game has to offer. |

Well, the video has taught you that fighting in huge fleets isn't your cup of tea. That's good, now you know something new about yourself, and you can adjust your career plans. I don't like fighting in blobs either, I learned that in DAoC. and so i've never considered nullsec to be a place I want to go. Some people love fighting in big fleets. A few of them posted here. Yay for them. They can go out to null and fleet all day. Do whatever you think is fun and dont worry about the other people who think something else is fun than you do. |

I think it is a bit harsh to say "there are no tactics in supercapital fights" - especially with this being in low-sec.
the battle was all about clearing HICs, getting supers/titans capped up and timing ECM bursts. I'm a NPC corp alt, any argument I make is invalid. |

Yah, for people used to fighting in nullsec, lowsec can be extremely limiting. Bubbles, bombs, and doomsdays are usually an important part of fleets of this size, but none of them were available because it happened to go down in a lowsec system. |
