I have a feeling whoever is in charge of GoonFleet's logistics could write a book on the subject. They're losing hundreds and hundreds of ships (over 200 on Saturday alone) but somehow manage to replace them and keep coming back for more. The amount of minerals required to replace everything that's been lost in XZH in the last week (on both sides) must be staggering.

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 dread 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.

EDIT: Turend 'our dead fleet' into 'our dread fleet', what an embarrasing typo.

w-hat?

Can ospreys recharge POS shields fast enough to counter the damage being dealt by dreads?

edit: well obviously if blob the POS with ospreys I'm sure that you can, just wondering how many ospreys you deployed to the fight

Could you imagine how depressing it is, seeing tons of Ospreys OUTSIDE the forcefield on the "back" of the POS boosting shields during a siege and not beeing able to kill them!! :/

Yeah, the station has a screwed up grid as well... I wonder if CCP can change the grids or if they are set in stone.

So does anyone have any Videos of the fights yet? Or has the lag simply made recording to difficult?

I'd love to see the cap ships fighting :)

This entire campaign, since inception, has been magnificent, and more fun in a computer game, than I've had in a long, long time.

Nos/Neu + EW + Drone setup. Maybe you have heard of it under another name... sometimes its called the "I Win"-button.

---

There are a small handful of ships in this game that I run screaming from. The Dominix, Vexor, Arbitrator and their T2 variants. I figure that if they scare the **** out of me I'd be better off flying them myself.

Unfortunately that Domi died with all of it modules turned off. Never could get them turned on. Thankfully the ogres did their thing own their own.

Edit: Except the hardeners, those were since the moment I logged in.

It's unfortunate that we are starting to get a bad reputation due to some of the trash talking going on. Personally, if I believed GoonSwarm was using or encouraging exploits or intentionally causing lag I would quit in a heartbeat.

This thread seems to be going along the same route as the last

And i believe the use of one paticular exploit used by the vast majority of goonies (displays simplified images instead of portraits to make spotting enemies/allies much easier - much like the add buddy feature) has been made known to the GM's for a long time now. And if i remember correctly the answer they gave was - its not an exploit.

GM's may have the final say when it comes to game mechanics, but theres no escaping their bosses - the majority.
