Why has no brain in a box work has occurred? This surely would have improved the jumpin/out experience of so many that were stuck in warp tunnels for hours.

CCP Veritas wrote:Actual work has happened since Brain in a Box was announced. I don't want to go into amazing details 'cause it could be a devblog of its own, or maybe a Fanfest presentation or something, but I spent about 6 months solid on it personally before I got promoted to technical director. Early in the process I discovered that the fundamental design of Dogma was going to get in the way of implementing BiaB, so I started rewriting that foundation. Since then we had one failed attempt to boot it up with a different team. In December we gave it another spin and I'm very happy with the composition of the new team. I believe once they've come up to speed with the system they'll be able to knock out work at a great pace and put me to shame.
This is great news. If you had to throw a wild guess at it and I know it is truly a guess. Less than a year out?

Prior to the fight CCP had to take down G-0 (our staging) and HED. This was because they were both located on the same node. This has occurred many times and has been escalated before. Why have more nodes not been put in the reinforcement pool?

Yep, that was extremely dumb. And the people involved should be shot. Luckily, that's not my call.
What is my concern is that we have another situation where 'on grid first' wins.
This seems like a very contradictory statement to me. You admit that jumping 1000 domnixes (which did absolutely nothing in terms of doing damage in the fight) was a stupid decision that caused a large amount of lag that severely hampered your dreadnought fleet. If those 700 dreads were actually functioning, even at reduced level, it would have been absolutely terrifying. This effect is compounded by how it was so laggy that the drone assist on slowcats was not working at all, and that the modlue lag was long enough that it would be very difficult if not impossible for the carriers/supers to get any reps down before the targets died to overwhelming alpha. Even if you lose the majority of the dread fleet, there were a heck of a lot of soft targets (ragnorak/hels/wyverns) to kill off first to at least get the isk efficiency number in the green.
I agree. The fleet we had assembled was going to murder. The only thing that could have went bad to end that fight was CCP. We are very fortunate we saw the impacts happening before we jumped the supers and titans in. If the FC's hadn't gotten concerned carriers were not loading this could have been the most expensive turkeyshoot in gaming history.
However, for us to get the fight we all want, CCP is going to have to make some serious changes to how EVE handles big fights. Subcaps or not, this is not going to happen within current mechanics.

We only live remapped G-0Q86 because it was on the same node as HED-GP. (We also live remapped Rens and Hysera at a similar time, but for completely different reasons.)
That is even worse. One side was completely screwed by this.

Exactly. Think it through.
