Slowly the world turns, day by day. Each day like the other... with a few exceptions. This was a exception.
The day starts early, local time 9 am, global evetime 7 am. And it was expected, we just didnt know exactly when and who would try it first. A POS takeover. One of our stations in Delve gets compromised. A hostile fleet of ~40 pilots, several industrials, and a freighter. Someone is going for a POS invasion. It's Imperium along with UnAssociated. A small force from Exuros Mortis is in the area, scouting it with their 6 interceptors. The call is sent. "Hostile takeover in progress, move."
About a hour later, Exuro Mortis are fighting madly with their 6 interceptors to harass the hostile fleet and delay them, while we gathhr upp a small fleet from fountain, aridia, delve. Exuro Mortis with Slackers at the helm do the impossible and downs a armageddon and some industrials, industrials are the key. The hostile POS's being erected wont be able to have all their gear, fuel. All cans from the industrials are destroyed without a blink. Slackers and Exuro... respect.
Our little fleet of ~10 bships and random others finally makes it into the target system after a little manouvering. 1 large POS has been anchored, another is going up, a third is being deployed, all large towers. Our fleet prepares to rush them. Covert ops are looking all over, watching the POS's. Finally we get the call.
"The POS is online in 3 minutes, their whole fleet is there"
Quick count of hostiles, quick grouping, they have 18 battleships... this is going to hurt, but it doesnt matter, no ones knocks down our door. At this instance, ganglader makes a fatal mistake, and warps the gang to a planet instead of the moon where the POS is. Total confusion "WTF, where are they??", "Planet, we're at wrong place", "POS online in 35 seconds", "fck align fast".
We warp in. Everything is red. "THE POS IS ONLINE". We're inside the bubble... the POS has no password, we're inside, we cant touch anything. We warp out. "Half their fleet is outside the bubble" We turn as fast as we ever can, warping back at range..... their ships are running like mad for the bubble. We start toasting those outside, those entering into the bubble cannot do anything, they forgotten the groundrule "If targetted outside the bubble, the locks stays on you when you enter the bubble". It's a turkeyshoot, they get totally slaughtered. Since we never frapsed any of this, i'll simpy use IMP's own video to show you the utter confusion....
The fleet is gone, dead, out of 3 large POS being setup, 1 is offline, 1 is online without guns, a third is online with large artilly. We go mad. As downtime comes, the first POS is halfdead. After downtime, the last part of the first POS is toasted.
2 large POS remains. 1 with lots of large guns, 1 with 1 large gun. We tank the 2nd POS, but 1 gun isnt enough.... it dies without strontium in it.
1 large POS remains. large guns... We decide to tank it.
For those of you who have tried tanking large guns..... you know. For those who dont;
 Quote:
[RONA]<IMP> strikes you perfectly, wrecking for 12602.0 damage
2 battleships are instakilled at the POS without warning.. they just disappear. We decide to stay and try and tank it despite this.
4 hours later, we have killed our 3rd large POS for the day without any more losses.
IMP have been screaming exploit at us the whole day... They messed up and forgot a password on the POS, and got roasted trying to make a run for the bubble. We care less if they get their stuff back from petitions or not, its not important.
Imperium and UnAssociated tried to do a POS invasion at our backdoor, and paid the price. They tried running for a quick sov takeover just prior to downtime. Everything they tried failed, and at the end of the day...
No takeover is welcome our backdoor, please come again. Anytime.
Have a nice day gentlemen.

yes indeed, waking to the sound of "get your ass into mo-" then pwning all day was great.

For more than a single foe to attempt to fight the Reikoku at once is an act of supreme folly. |

Would have been a better read if Istvaan or someone equally good wrote it for you.
I'm sure Imperium will learn from this and do it good next time...

Maybe it is just that BoB have stuff to brag about?
Maybe not.
Who knows?
Who cares?
Who dares to wonder?
If anything, this is a bit of a compliment to Red Alliance - Imp tried to copy them, and failed. It shows that you guys are the POS war kings!! (For what that's worth).

Just want you to know - bragging about every killed POS is no good :)
but BoB's comments like "its great to be us! sux to be you!" make sence )))

Yeah, I agree.
However, I think this is more a reply to the accusations made about how we did this, rather than the act itself.

Large Artillery PoS guns hurt more than your feelings... Getting slapped by those is worrying sometimes.

So true, it's also no good to scream exploit every time something doesn't go your way. Anybody that continues to do so will find themselves teleported in to the middle of an asteroid.

Though I can only applause to SirMolle for this great read and BoB for the fast response I still think it is a bug.
CCP was not able to program the way shields work so it doesn't need the workaround of targetting/locking. (I mean the proper way would be that Damage aimed at objects inside the shield would be stopped but EVE just isn't designed that way)
Now there is this bug that stuff that was locked outside doesn't lose it's lock once it passes the barrier. And BoB deliberatedly exploited this (if they discovered it just yesterday or earlier doesn't matter).
I don't think thats stuff to brag about.
PS: not saying POS wars are great but that wasn't great either. |

"On the video some ships looks to be in the forcefield and getting attacked 
I'm not sure but... erm... Since when can you shoot ships that are within forcefield ?
You're prolly gonna tell me much about game mechanics 'n stuff..."
Olyyy, reading the opening post ftw -.^
""Half their fleet is outside the bubble" We turn as fast as we ever can, warping back at range..... their ships are running like mad for the bubble. We start toasting those outside, those entering into the bubble cannot do anything, they forgotten the groundrule "If targetted outside the bubble, the locks stays on you when you enter the bubble". It's a turkeyshoot, they get totally slaughtered."
