I will give you my personal writeup of the events so far.
It all started last sunday when we had a small gank gang in XZ (D2 and GS have been sending gank squads into each others space for a while), just tooling around. They descovered entirely by accident that they could shoot the station, and then noticed sov had dropped. This sent the alliance into a state of hyperactivity, as everyone and their mom rushed up to see if we could properly take it from D2, just to say we did.
Apparently D2 are abandoning the region, and have no interest in it whatsoever.
We were completely unprepared for taking conqueable space, it is a goal that I think the higher ups had considered impossiuble until at least Christmas, but we had the oppertunity, and by jove we were going to take it.
A couple of ex-D2 corps left behind formed the YouWhat (-Y-) alliance to try and retake the system. Since then, the fighting has mainly been over POS's. Since our prime-time is well after theirs, our dead fleet (provided by our allies SMASH) has walked all over their POS's. Their prime time however is an entirely differant story.
GS is global, and D2/-Y-/others are not. Their prime time, they have been outblobbing us 2:1, and field twice as many cap-ships as we can. We have been giving our all, and defending our POS's, basically holding the line until our enemies log off, and the Goonswarm primetime begins.
In total we have destroyed a total of nine dreadnaughts, and have only had our POS knocked into reinforced once over the last week. Our oppnents have destroyed an instane number of our ships, and are probably 3:1 ahead in pure numbers. As is already stated in this thread, we like to suicide our ships, and are not afraid of losing 90% of our fleet if it means that we hold out until our alliances primtime hits and we get heavily reinforced.
This is a battle of David and Goliath, we are the new guys flying 60-70% frigates and cruisers, against an established powerhouse who are 60-70% T2 fitted battleships and HACs, and we are trying our damndest. We are mainly one alliance, with SMASH supporting in their American primeimte, against D2's entire PvP force, RAZOR, YouWhat, NFC, and even NORAD have been seen helping them. Thats three alliances against our one (two in American primetime).
Lets see what the weekend brings shall we.
