Greetings all, this is Smokemon from GSY, Huzzah Federation....just thought I'd chirp in just a bit...
First I want to say thank you to FIX for the fight, you guys have been fighting hard since the beginning of our war and I hope to be able to get in more fights as it progresses :)
As for the fight in question, I personally was not there, but I did hear the aftermath on Ventrillo. Unfortunately, like GO MAZ said, you win some you lose some <shrug>. I do want to clear up something though, (even though it makes no difference) the group we faught when HF/SA jumped in (I know this because I was talking to a cov-ops who was there from the beginning of the HF fight, all the way until the BoB fleet started engaging the egg) was numbering over 100 (on the gate) along with several carriers as support, you may check our losses for confirmation of the presence of carriers. Once we had finished our fight with fix, their numbers on the gate went down to around 40 (according to our cov-ops again)and their carriers left (not sure where they went). Also they moved in a dreadnaught about an hour after our fight and about 30 mins before BoB showed up. Once BoB entered the system the dreadnaught fled (and was later destroyed I hear, gj) and the force BoB had to fight was roughly 40 pilots at the gate with about half the bubbles still up that we had to deal with. To be honest here guys, that 40 man group is a lot smaller than the 100 man fleet with carrier support HF/SA flew into and you also had less ships than HF/SA which ultimately results in less jump-in lag. I guess my point here is the two fights were completely different because they involved a different amount of ships from not only FIX, but the fleets brought in by BoB and HF/SA were also different, so its not right to compare the two as a measure of skill. I'm not going to argue who's better as that's a childs game and its not important, I'm only going to say that the chest beating between everyone involved in this thread makes you all look stupid. Just leave it as a "good show, hope to see you on the battlefield again soon" and leave it at that. There's no need to go on and on about the specifics as long as you had some fun, it doesn't matter if you won or lost.
I'd like to point out again that my information is from a Cov-Ops who was stationed over the gate where the fight happened through the entire night so I'm 99% sure its accurate as he had no stakes in the BoB vrs. Fix fight and would keep his opinions to himself and report only the facts. Of course you can disagree with me and as always you should take whats said here on the forums with a grain of salt, but if you compare what I've said and others here I think you'll find the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
That said, HF has long since held itself in high morale standards and those who have come here as unintential representatives of our Alliance (aka Audrea and some others) do not share the same thoughts as the majority of our alliance. We do not put the blame for losses on game mechanics or ingame problems such as lag, and we try our best to take responsibility for our losses and learn from them. The majority of HF and I'm quite sure SA too, are thankful for the fight we had and the fights we've had in FAT over the past week.
Regards to all involved,
