As promised SNIGG has now delivered to the players of eve a peek of what a battle fighting 3 dreads and a bunch of battleships looks like. This is the thread for discusions about the battle. This could be footage of the most amount of isk being lost by any group in one engagement.
At the end of the battle the kill count was: (in order of kill mail time)
SNIGG killed Raven - battleship Dominix - battleship Phoenix - dreadnought Moros - dreadnought Revelation - dreadnought Apocalypse - battleship Capsule - uhm capsule
Vogon Deconstruction Fleet killed Megathron - battleship Helios - covert ops
A little bit of info when trying to kill a dread with a battleship, you will get stuck on the dread if you try to orbit it too close. Then die really quick when you are sitting still. Kinda funny way to loose a battleship by getting stuck on a dread. But hey what are you going to do.
The original thread about this battle a little while ago ended in flames and a lock. To not let that happen to this one please keep the smack out of this thread.
If a certain person starts it up again mods please leave the thread open and just "snip" them please.
Thanks to the brave Sniggles that took the time to turn on fraps during a battle that could have killed them for doing so.

Thats pretty damm good. Ive never actually firsed on a dread before, must be alot of fun!
As to the vid; I liked the editing, but at the same time I didnt (yeah im cookoo), there is just something about it that doesnt seem right, but yet again it adds alot to what would be a boring vid of missile and turret spamming.

The chunk of video in the middle is actually 19 minutes long regular speed. I sped it up or no one would have sat and watched the whole thing. It was a really long battle taking down just the 3 dreads. Capital armor reps give back an unbelievable amount of armor per cycle.
Really the whole idea was to take over as many minutes of people lives as i could. The goal was for them to watch it twice. Thats 10 minutes of you life. HAHAHAHA, it just shows that I do have superhuman powers that allows me to waste 5 to 10 minutes of peoples lives I always knew I was superhuman

A dread is safe in a blob, yes. But 5 BS vs 5 dread...who will win??? The 5 dreads hit $hit while the 5 BS - if propper fitted sink 1 dread after the other. And it doesnt not mather what pilot sits inside i guess. Believe me: a dread is useless without a fleet to cover it and the SNIGGS show this here. Dreads are prenerfed and should not be used without carriers, BS support, webber HACs and a recon team.

Unfortunately, many of you here running your lips are quite ignorant of the circumstances in which this transpired, and are forming your opinion based on facts you yourself have fibritated. This video only depicts one aspect of the fight; the only aspect that really matters - the killing of the dreadnaughts. If it weren't for the shot at three juicy dreads, snigg never would have shown up. As such, this video is not of VGND vs SNIGG, it's of SNIGG killing three dreads.
To fill the rest of you in on what actually happened, we(VGND) were tipped off to possibility of Ginger Magician running a POS in the area of Lermireve. Further inspection (you don't simply ignore information this good!) revealed Ginger not only ran a POS in Lermireve, but a network of POS (consisting of 2 small and 1 large tower). After much deliberation (more like Guy 1: "These POS belong to Ginger Magician"; Guy 2: "Lets blow them up!"; Everyone else: "Okay!"), we set a scheduled a time to commence operations.
The day before the operation, we started moving our stronthium into system, right under Ginger's nose - infact, he tried chasing around one of our haulers to no avail a time or two(this alone made the operation worth it imho.) The final count for our forces were 16 pilots; 3 Dreadnaught pilots and 13 battleship support pilots(that's roughly 4 BS support for each dread, for those of you who have difficulty with maths.) This was the first time we'd used all three dreadnaughts at once, and I must say - they are incredible one you get a couple going. We were able to take all three of Ginger's POSes into reinforced mode in roughly 2 hours!
The next day we return as each of the POS exit reinforced mode. The first small falls to a Moros with 2 BS support; also during the engagement there was one rather expensively fitted Megathron lost on behalf of mr Ginger Magician. The second, two hours later goes down, again only the Moros but this time with more BS support. Finally, the third and final tower, the large, comes out of reinforced mode. I think the showing for this was a little disappointing, I beleive we only had something to the tune of 9 pilots (3 Dreads, 6 BS) due to several of our pilots having other real life obligations to attend to. However, we proceeded all the same.
Shortly after we had commenced the seige, SNIGG start filling up local. After a quick discussion on TS, we decide to leave the dreads in seige mode and fight tooth and nail; they will never be able to make it out of seige mode in time to warp out, they are unable to use their jump drives when warp scrambled, and just may be able, granted a long shot, might be able to hold out long enough to peel off enough of the attacking support ships to force SNIGG to retreat. This was of course assuming the tower would also attack the SNIGG pilots.
Ultimately, we had no such luck. We were quite simply outclassed by SNIGG. Not only did SNIGG have us outnumbered (our 9 vs their 13), but they also had the POS guns on their side as Ginger had set SNIGG to positive standing after they agreed to his pleas to bail him out. Meanwhile, our support ships were set up in a quite funky, but effective (for POS tanking purposes, anyway) fashion that put us at a real disadvantage for actual combat.
In addition, while the tanks on these things(the dreads) are absolutely incredible, SNIGG came prepared with a dread's worst nighmare: engery vampires and neutralizers. Jamming our support ships, they were easily able destroy the cap of each of our dreads' effectively rendering one after another 1.5bn paper weights.
There was virtually no other possible outcome given the situation. We once again send grats out to SNIGG for fielding a rock solid offensive strike. We just wished you would have waited another 35 minutes or so and swooped in as Ginger's tower blew up in a glorious display of fireworks!
This is not, in any shape or form, a flame of SNIGG although... [char limit ]

Edited by: Mesasone on 03/03/2006 04:51:14 ...just a few closing comments I couldn't fit in due to the char limit.
This is not, in any shape or form, a flame of SNIGG although I have little doubt that some will try to interperate it as such. I am simply putting forth my account of the rest of the engagement, as I hope it will not only provide a good read, but quell the comments of the blissfully ignorant (ZOMG u shudnt be flyin dredz!!1). Other participants from either side feel free to make any additions.
And, to the poster(lifewire) who displayed his disappointment of dread's performance and feels they have come pre-nerfed: I must say, that I feel it is quite the opposite. The perform incredibly well at what they are designed to do: seige starbases. They seem to be much, much more effective with more than one dreadnaught; two was nice, but three performed well above my expectations. Additionally, in the video the dreads are in seige mode, which accounts for their poor performance against battleships orbiting them at 5km. You can against Ginger about his encounter with our Moros in this rather expensively fitted megathron at his first tower, if you are curious about out of seige performance.

What Mesa said :D Dreads are siege machines, not super-battleships. With thre uses, large fleet support and POS removal and station capturing.
That movie reminds me so much of taking out trebuchets with calvarly in Rome: Total War.

LOL.Nice vid. Keep making excuses vogon.You screwed up and it has cost u very dear.Your corp is in tatters and significant numbers have left since this happened as well as the ongoing empire war against me. One point I would like to make is that I believe vogon only found out about my poses because a few days beforehand I actually had 4 pos in that system and was taking down one when one final module refused to unanchor and I had to ask for GM assistance.The GM took down the pos for me and there was only 3 left when vogon attacked.However as I know that most GMS have player accounts I cant help but wonder if this guy was a member of Vogon or otherwise informed people as to the location of my poses.This is obviously a cause for concern but to be honest the 2 small pos had paid for themselves during the time I had been running them and my losses were insignificant compared with the massive ones incurred by vogon and the enormous enjoyment of being there to watch the dreads go pop.

I did not doubt that dreads are good at sieging starbases, but in fleet battles they are pretty useless big targets. We now have 3 dreads too and i feel quite unsafe with these ships. Dreads can be compared to war machines of the middle age like catapults: expensive to built and good at destroying a castles wall. The difference is: a catapult is also usefull in a field battle once it is set up. About a dread i am not sure if it will be of use. I really think without webber+painter support ships, dreads are next to be useless (in fleetbattles). However, thank you for letting the community participate in your experiences.

W-hat?
Ginger, since you have war decced us, we have only seen you a hand full of times. And, of those times, only once have you actually come out and fought. And, the one time you didnt sit, cowering in a station, you ended up pouting and smacking in local because you couldnt kill our one of ravens. Funny what happens when you're not shooting newbie ships, huh!?
Also, Ginger, we have not lost a single member since your little war dec has been in place for I dont know how long now. I dont know what fantasy world you live in where you know the status of our members and wallet better than we do, but I guess you can keep living there for all I care.
The rest of your message is so rediculous, I'm not even going to bother addressing it.
Finally, my name is TomB and dont you forget it. It was me, and me alone who, with one swift swing of the nerf bat, rendered your megathron, and yours alone, useless against AFs!

ROFL, another one..
I too have been war dec'd by the nublet ginger spice.
Ive gotten countless emails re: you gonna die, end yourself, re-roll your char etc, and NOT once have i seen hide no hair of the fleabag.
Its appearant now that hes spent his time mining ice, while beating his chest on forums for ganking indy, boasting his kill mail record while hiding behind the force field.
Its too bad the dreads were lost spanking his whiney butt, but it also shows that he couldn't defend them himself, so he called in Snigg. I hope they charged him an arm and a leg for the service.
At least i NOW KNOW where you have been hiding all these months while my agents worked feverishly to find you, and to Vorgon, id be happy to attend the next ginger-spank, and might even pay you myself to return.
Oh and spare me the "you never log in poo response" or the "bring it" retoric, we both know when faced with a superior foe, the tail tucks, the GM calls go out, and the forum spamming begins..
You waste my bandwidth 
Your master,
Zell

That has to be some of the best fiction I have ever read. We have replaced one of the dreads already and we are waiting for the other two to come out of the production que. We have also added 2 more cap ships to our line up and have a couple more waiting in the production que.
I think we have lost one member...he wanted to try different things and was not even involved in the pos take down. Our wallet is stronger than ever and still getting better everyday.
I was calling the shots for VOGON that day. Once SNIGG started showing up in local I knew it was too late to get the dreads out. It takes way too long for them to come out of siege mode and once they do they would be scrambled so leaving was not an option. For example the revelation did come out of siege mode a couple of minutes after the fight started and he was jammed and scrammed almost immediately. I told him to go back into siege mode and ride it out...do what you can etc.
SNIGG jumped right in on us and went to town...they took out one of our ravens almost immediately and I ordered the rest of the support ships to jump in and out. The intent was between the dreads, the POS and the warping in-and-out bs that we should be able to make them leave.
Instead it was reported that the POS was not shooting at SNIGG and at that point i realized that we were out gunned to the point that we would not win this one. We kept warping in-and-out in the hopes that we might still be able to pull something off. I was not going to let the dreads go down without support. So we kept it up as long as possible...once the last dread was taken out I called a retreat on the remaing 3 battleships and we left the system. Our job was done 
I have not seen one thing come from ginger that had any amount of truth other than the fact that we lost our dreads. And we lost them to SNIGG not ginger. SNIGG did a good job takeing out the dreads and a couple of our bs...hats off to them.
and your war gigner is a joke...you actually have to stay around for the fight to actually mean something. so far all we have seen is you hide in a station and smack in local.

Just to clarify, Ginger did not "call in Snigg." As far as i know we contacted him and said if he set us to high standing so the turrets didn't kill us we'd kill the dreads.

Thank you to the VDF guy for clearing it all, I did see the pos in the video, but was really unsure of how it "all went down".
Ive seen some dreads in action, after a 1on1 being breached against one of our corp members we got some people with dreads to come to our system to whipe out the unhonerable players pos.
Watching 5 of them take down all his pos was amazing to watch, a local smacktalker started a gripe; being abusive towards the dread pilots and warped back to his pos at long range to be one volleyed by a moros.
So under the right setting they do perform amazingly well, your mistake was to continue to engage the pos even though your support ships were leaving/logging which it seems sniggerdly exploited to their gain.
I cant help myself, I keep trying to find really good points with the video and I believe I found one: Its creative, but on the other hand, so is a house shaped like an egg!

Too be fair to ginger he has sent his alt out "Cromar'lev?" to high sec where we have our corp HQ. He even docked up at the station I was at. But by the time I noticed he was there (was busy putting together my paper rifter) he took off and logged soon after that.

Sorry I wasnt referring specifically to the quality of the thread. Rather that the design of Eve can give rise to such stories/situations. You know, as opposed to watching vids or reading stories about a group 60 players took down the mega npc spawn, or player made content that has nothing to do with the actual game. etc

I would just like to say I was involved in this op on my third day in SNIGG! It was an amazing experience, a well planned and well executed op.
I have also made a vid to keep as sort of a record for myself of what went down that night.
Props to SNIGG and Vogon.

OK a few points
Zell - a pondlife who logs for 5 minutes a week and sits in station during those 5 mins but i cant fight ghosts.Nevertheless war will continue indefinately.Those who grief me in game or on forum will be hunted forever.
Necro - I contacted Shamis for you guys to help me with Vogon and my alt was a member of the gang while this battle took place.I know you wanted me to keep quiet about this but after the disrespectful posts of your ceo any loyalty I might have shown to your corp has been lost.Why worry anyway this acheivement is undoubtedly your biggest publicity in EVE ever and I'm sure its a great recruiting sargeant.When u mess with the best everyone gets to hear about it.
Emmerich - my alt did dock at your station but he was in hauler fitted with 4 local hulls.You should have come out of hiding lol.I guess u dont like being alone eh.
Mesanone - your quote is unattributable - maybe that is your friendly GM speaking? plz clarify
Katamarino - your post makes no sense and I believe it to be lies.If you had warped to any of my pos with a hauler u would have been instantly destroyed.To say u sat there watching me is ridiculous.

IMO the most impressive part about this is how the vogons behave, a whoppin' large "gg" to you guys for taking this huge hit so well. Awesome display of sportsmanship and maturity.
One point though, the video itself is absolutely horrible. All this picture-in-picture stuff is confusing as hell, it's hard to see what's going on.

Ginger aint the most annoying person in eve, the most annoying person in eve was that commander guy who kept saying that all pirates in FE were eve devs and that eve was a big experiment on how to upset all "normal and nice" people who play games.
Tbh I used to find Ginger annoying, now I just find his posts amusing now that he has toned the chest beating down a bit. Infact he behaves exactly the way Tank did on the forums, and I used to love reading his arrogant egotistical threads, atleast Ginger dont rattle on every 5mins about how many sp he has

Ginger, that information is from our internal files. As such, I can not and will give you any 'proof' that we have it, nor who distributed it, however I will tell you that it is dated the 26th of January.
I only posted it to acknowledge the existance of your fourth POS, confirming that we knew about it, and that you had taken one of your POS down between the time that we collected our intel and the time we initiated our attck.
I dont know why you have to be so difficult

Anyway, I dont think wardecs from ginger will make any difference since he packs low with stabs, likes to snipe newb ships and is currently (as far as I am aware) living in the lowsec pocket near Haine. I believe he is currently in Obalyu. As we see here, the wardecs mean absolutely nothing as he never actually goes hunting the dec'd corp. However, if the corps he has dec'd on want to go find him and let him actually do some war'ing on you, go to Obalyu.

As far as I'm aware you ganked one of my corpies about 2 months ago, who was a relative noob. Then you decided it was time to leave, when we had your ged scrammed for about 6 . Oooooh, ginger likes teh stabs huh? Nice. show's how much you expect to die. You have been in our operational area once, and made one kill on us. And this was before the alliance was formed. Go float your ego over somewhere else, because tbh, no-one gives a damn, or believes a word you say.

Originally by: Ginger Magician LOL.Nice vid. Keep making excuses vogon.You screwed up and it has cost u very dear.Your corp is in tatters and significant numbers have left since this happened as well as the ongoing empire war against me. One point I would like to make is that I believe vogon only found out about my poses because a few days beforehand I actually had 4 pos in that system and was taking down one when one final module refused to unanchor and I had to ask for GM assistance.The GM took down the pos for me and there was only 3 left when vogon attacked.However as I know that most GMS have player accounts I cant help but wonder if this guy was a member of Vogon or otherwise informed people as to the location of my poses.This is obviously a cause for concern but to be honest the 2 small pos had paid for themselves during the time I had been running them and my losses were insignificant compared with the massive ones incurred by vogon and the enormous enjoyment of being there to watch the dreads go pop.
IIRC, Vogon posted a log in which your alt was begging for your POS's not to be destroyed. Equally, you posted that you could have single-handedly also taken out the SNIGG forces that turned up. And now, you're accusing the GMs of exploiting their position? 
Edit: just read the other two pages. ROFLCOPTER. I think the only person heading for an exploit/forum ban/petition is Ginger.

Props to snigg, I was there that day, and for Ginger. VLINC has killed you and what do you know, a full set of stabs fell out. If you think you are l33t carryin 425's, t2 ammo and a cloak w/ stabs is hardley leet, just shows how scared you are of your own lack of ability.

Good detailed post by Mesasone. Nice to see a corp using the Dreads in force... Shame you were short on support ships, bad luck on that .
Personally if I could afford a Dread I would hope for atleast 10 BS class ships per Dread for protection againt smaller energy suckers, jammers etc.
Well done to Snigg for good tactics, although it wasn't made so clear that the POS towers were in your favour and the other guy had little support. Good hit nonetheless guys.
Ginger... no need for the flaming, you don't come accross too good in this post.
Let the good time role!

Did George Lucas himself make this EPIC of cinematic history? :)
But really, jolly good show, my only snag was the lack of a long full size view during the middle part, I would have liked to see the battle in more detail.
And, oh yeah the balance between ship clasess in this game is pretty well thought out, its obvious that you will always need plenty of backup from all ship classes if u want to protect your nice new toy, incidentally, we've been taking down cruisers with frigates, the same applies here.
Proper game balance FTW!

I'm a little surprised that formations of turret dreads aren't more effective. I'd have thought that between the moros making life hell for the little guys, the turret Dreads could park 40-80km from one another and make life hell for any BS that approaches one or tries to snipe.
A Dread can't defend itself very well, but I have little doubt that it can defend another against all but a fleet. Even then, that fleet would take heavy losses.
I think the point is made obvious that there is little point in achieving a single Dread, unless you are going to have support ships on hand and only wish to take on medium towers with it. Of course, once you've got a dread, it's much easier to replace.

Stabs are tatical equipment....a full set of lows on an armor tank may be a bit much but they are still viable tactical equipment and require more skill to actually get a kill with. I'm sorry to let the denizens of EVE know about this secret of modern warfare: gurrilla works.
Its been proven throughout history that a larger army will moan endlessly until well after the war is over about "honor" and "fair fights" but it never changes the fact that it is the most effective form of combat vs larger groups. So please don't complain because of that.
Lets examine his fitting that you claim he was using: 425s--weapons (everyone has them or they wouldn't be much of a fight) T2 ammo--good ammo (superior more power per hit, a mainstay of armed warfare) Cloak--tactical positioning (they used to say the same about camoflage...bright-colored unifroms FTW!) Stabilizers--mobility (we really should just line up and shoot at each other)
As far as his setup goes, it seems to be close to an appropriate setup for any person/corp relying on fast tactical strikes rather than warp in and shoot until everyone on one side of this line is dead. I'm sorry that he doesn't subscribe to the particular brand of war preferred by EVE players which seems to involve the majority of tactics that have been outdated since World War I. He may be the worst player in all of EVE but its not entirely due to his ship setup.
BTW: Ginger... as well as the people complaining about him... please stop the forums as a method of personal attack, it gets you nowhere. Forums should be places to debate ideas and share events, not attack or defend people.

Er... not sure how much of the thread you read, but you either do not read very far into it, or did not comprehend what happened. You are right that a Dread can unleash some serious damage from afar, however SNIGG had a covert ops pilot warp them in, directly ontop of our dreadnaughts. On top of that, the lock time on a dreadnaught is somewhere in the vincinity of 45 seconds for a battleship while in seige mode(and, as previously stated the dreads were left in seige mode for reasons already explained), as such a BS simply has to warp out and back in to break the lock and force the dread to go through another 45+ second locking time.
The lack of support ships was largely due to the fact that we never expected anyone, especially s******ly, to have aided Ginger in any fashion. It is obvious that we under-estiminated bloodlust three dreadnaughts will bring out :P
Anyhow, I think I'm arguing for the sake of arguing at this point. As such, I'll shut up ... for now.

When VOGON decided to have their little adventure in Lermievre they had approx 100 members in their corp.It is now a little over a month later after the dreads loss and the continuing empire war being waged by octobersnow corp. I wont tell u how many members they have now but enter Vogon deconstruction fleet in the search function of your p&p.CEO is still rocky spaceman btw who dont play atm .It makes very interesting reading. This is what happends when u mess with the best.Whatever u have,however much isk,however many members u have,no matter what alliance u have,no matter how many GM's are helping u,YOU LOSE EVE.

I wont tell u how many members they have now but enter Vogon deconstruction fleet in the search function of your p&p.CEO is still rocky spaceman btw who dont play atm .It makes very interesting reading. This is what happends when u mess with the best.Whatever u have,however much isk,however many members u have,no matter what alliance u have,no matter how many GM's are helping u,YOU LOSE EVE.
You ċrack me up 
no skills, just luck.
