LetĘs reexamine what happened.
Foundation and Co. form a blob of 100+ in their system that attracts 100+ [5] and Co. fleet. Foundation camps the gate with drones out to lag out [5] (thatĘs the only reason to have drones out, since they are useless long range or in fleet battles). Of course [5] will jump in. We always do. Problem is, not only does [5] get lagged out, so does Foundation by their own doing. Now everything stops working, so both [5] and Foundation start logging out or ctd. However, some Foundation members that were already loaded start shooting [5] as they started to de-cloak yet still unable to load in to the system. [5] members are dieing while Foundation is taking down every ship that they can. Finally some [5] members load in and start returning fire. The Foundation members that are logging back in are appearing on the battle field and are engaged by [5] while also taking losses. Here comes the funny/sad part.
Immediately Foundation starts blaming [5] for killing them while under cease fire? Cease fire? You have to be kidding me. LetĘs have a ceasefire so that we donĘt loose any ships to the lag that we created while killing every [5] ship that de-cloaks. LetĘs call [5] a bunch of bad names because they shot back. Lets blame [5] for the lag because they jumped in, since the drones donĘt cause lag. What a bunch of whiners you are. No wonder we are still shooting you.
If you wanted to make any deals with [5], you had the opportunity to do that before the fight, not after we start shooting you back. Never closed convo? Lag caused the window to close? That must be some bug, since a convo never, ever, closed on me before. You said that you told everybody to pull in their drones as soon as [5] jumped in? Yea, IĘll bet you did. You realized the lag was lagging out your own people, not only [5]. So honorable.
Next time expect us to jump in (we always do), make arrangements with us before hand to minimize lag and we can have some fun. If you think that by deploying drones you will make us turn back, you donĘt know us very well. Arranged fleet fights with no drones are a lot of fun, ask FIX about that, but you have to be willing to fight in the first place. See you next weekend.
Wow you have some warped perception of events...

its not the drones we are whining about, altho its lame, its a valid tactic, its the fact that you say something about a ceasefire that gets people going. dont see any point in this argue anyways. Especially since I wasnt there.

It was quite clearly stated in a thread in the Eve General Dicussion forum by "Velios" of "M.Corp" of "The Five".

This is more or less what happened.
Foundation had their drones out
5 jumped in
Foundation started shooting
5 started shooting
5 complained Foundation had our drones out making system lag.
Foundation pulled their drones back - as best they could.
Lag remained.
Some ships we lost, quite who's ships I have no idea.
Everyone's screens froze for 20 mins.
Quite a lot of good humour in local, very little smack (a bit of drones talk)
Some people dropped, some people didn't
Someone mentioned an amnesty.
Foundation beleived there was one.
V beleived there was one.
5 didn't beleive there was one.
5 have turkey shoot.
Some people in Foundation lose ships
Foundation realise there is no amnesty
yadda yadda amnesty - drones - lag - ccp - new content - just you wait - pwn - look how uber we are - no your not - etc etc.
Foundation alliance forum advise to petition losses
5 alliance forum advises to petition loses
Lots of people start ranting on forums more yadda yadda - drones - we would not have - yes you would - ccp - lag - amnesty - we are 5 - no your not, your 7 - If V hadn't - If foundation hadn't - I never loved you anyway, etc etc.
think that's more or less sums it up.

I want to say that the turn out was great and it was really nice to see so many people with the same passion for fighting.
This is what it's all about... Fighting, offcourse there is smack and flaming, I don't take all those thing serieus anymore, it more like propaganda.
I find it dissapointing that ccp hasn't take any action for the fleet battle, while serveral people had warnend in official eve channels.
when people finally could log back on and 5 started shooting that really sucks, but I think it's not 5 there fault but CCP fault, if they fight went through without the server freezing up, we would had a clear and fun fight.

Seriously now who doesn't know that drones cause insane lag in fleet battles? With all due respect it is rather strange that experienced PVP'ers seems to right now be struggling with this fact. It's pretty well known.

Originally by: Shayla Sh'inlux As posted in the thread on general, the map thread crap put aside, total respect for V alliance for honoring the cease fire after this mess and allowing pilots of both sides to get their stuff together.
100% disrespect for The Five, for ignoring this cease fire, getting on the gate where everyone crashed and ganking people as they logged back in. Especially interesting to see that they did deploy their drones, which they beforehand accused us of for causing that massive lag spike.
I just want to clear up that our last gang size was not 100, but 57 Foundation and 23 Ushra K'han when your fleet jumped in on us. Considering the fact you jumped in and we were in position, a pretty even fight.
Cease fires make poor Sass cry
Please dont ever mention that word again in my presence.

Exactly.
This is not a real war!
We warned you about drones causing lag in huge fleet battles. You felt that all is fair in war. OK. We jump in to a disadvantage and you want a cease fire and go asking for one on public forums? V knew that there was one? Well, IĘm sorry, but first of all we donĘt make agreements on public forums, second we donĘt fallow any agreements that V makes since we are [5]. If anything, we make the agreements and check with V, not the other way around (No disrespect to V, itĘs just how we are with everybody).
Then you start calling us lame because we turkey shoot you? What about you attempting to turkey shoot us with your drones causing lag? We gave back to you what you had in store for us and it hurts, hey? Good. Learn how to fight and you wonĘt need drones to save you.
If you remember that this is a game, next time maybe we can have some fun. Believe it or not, that could have been one of the best battles all of us had in in a while. I hope you guys learn your lessons and donĘt make the same mistakes over and over. Kill or be killed, itĘs the experience that counts. This is a game after all, not real war. Get it?
The truth will set you free

I think this is the whole problem with the situation. People wanted a nice fight. We were going to have one until the server went nuts. This is what people are really ****ed about I think, even got frustrated over. I don't think that anyone really cares that much about the lost ships. (at least I have heard none complain in foundation about loosing a ship) People just want to try and point at a guilty party, because we were deprived of what would have been a really good fight. The guilty party in this case is clearly CCP's server, not being up to the task.
All this talk about drones and a cease fire, is just allot of hot air IMHO. And has nothing to do with what happened.
Just to clarify, I understand that [5] didn't know about any cease fire. There was a post by a -V- member in these boards that the people in foundation read. this info was relayed on TS as a possible agreement. Unfortunately the servers went back up before anything could be officially discussed with -V- or [5]. I don't blame [5] for shooting our re-logging ships, although it would have been a nice gesture if they hadend.
As for Foundation being asked to recall drones. As you could have read in multiple posts, no agreement was made. No mention on TS or chat of your request. Should you have had patience while making this request, it might have been carried out. On the other hand, drones are there to be used. Everyone does. Foundation, -V- AND [5] all use drones when in the "defending" position. Not only to produce lag (which works both ways) as you seem to try and put it, but they are a very good defense against tacklers. On a side note to that, I was in a tackler and got battle messages that I was being missed by LD's drones. So IF drones were the "killer" here as you make them out to be, then you guys are just as guilty for launching them the moment you uncloaked.
K i'm done. this thread is making me sick. _________________________________________________________

It was I that proposed "an amnesty" while both fleets recovered their position once the lag subsided. This however was not popular (and on reflection rightly so) as we could not be sure whether it would be honoured on either side.
Remember, 5 fleet was completely in the dark for a good 30 minutes while all this was being suggested, we were completely unaware of what the damage inflicted upon us would be when the dust settled.
When 5 members were able to log in again we found ourselves holding the gate and began the process of recovering our lost cans and the cans of enemies at the E02 gate.
We were also sat amongst many many enemy drones that had been abandoned at the gate. Finding ourselves in this fortunate position the 5 fleet was able to hold that gate and insure the safe arrival of our returning pilots to that gate.
The whole affair was very messy. I personally have no beef with the deployment of drones. Battles of a similar size have occurred before with no problems and tbh... I don't blame FC's for using any tactic they can in a battle to gain the upper hand.
I am sure we will repeat this battle in the future !!! Exciting times ahead guys.

We all (F/UK/friends = -V-/.5./friends) wanted a nice fleet fight. We all entered this system for a nice fight. We all see the lag and many from all sides was a bit disapointed about the lag.
After reboot from system we all was a bit confused. And so missunderstand was programmed.
So. Next time we hope we all get a better fight without the lag.
