Looking at the ranks of Outbreak and Celes, I see some very old and experienced faces. I wouldnt be suprised if these forces make their attacks with the finesee of a brain surgeon, firmly being a pain in the ass for BoB operations. Though I doubt they will have any impact on the geo-political structure of BoB. Every alliance has their own troubles in their backyard, so not a big deal really..
Besides BoB is not the only superpower out there anymore, we have ASCN, the coalition (LV,V, etc), D2 up north, etc..

I agree with what darth said. CELES have never been range monkeys, too easy, too boring and nowhere near as much fun as a >20km slugfest.
I was really dissapointed with Xelas/HORDE (same thing tbh) last night though. 2 BCs a cruiser and 6 frigs vs my Absolution, i got as far as taking down 2 frigs and a BC and they still hadn't broken my tank, then they cyno'd in a carrier...

sry dabs, in my laziness I didn't diffrentiate between you guys and toxin, the latter I've engaged recently and omglotsofewar.
Not that it's a bad thing ofc, just that it pushes us to engage out of range of it.

I read the OP's post again and guess what, he didn't say anything, he just asked a question.
Originally by: Arano Tizogo For me it just seems like Bob dont want to fight back
Actually it would help if you read again
Very nice quote mangling. Lets add the last part: +"cause they dont feel it`S needed.."
The last part makes it very likely that he is in fact thinking of BoB as the very much stronger entity at play in that conflict, and would only consider the other part a negliable nuisance.

Has been some very interesting skirmishes so far, although like Darth said, not our prefered range. But I'm sure Darth is coming up with a master plan as I type
Anyway keep it friendly guys, its been very respectfull by all sides, keep it up

Nonono, you misunderstand. He plays the videogames while he's awake.
Anyway, with luck I'll find the time to make it out to Fountain early next week. Should be the best chance of getting killed I've had in a while. \o/

CELES and Outbreak are like a couple of badgers sharing a den, fending off the snakes that are after our, uh, grubs. Who is the man badger and who is the woman badger isn't clear at this point, and all the questions about what the seahorses have to do with it will go unanswered . . . for now.
The erection of a strategic POS in YZ-LQL by the reptilian encroachers will not draw any response from our team of elite combat vermin. The size of the potential loss for Outbreak and CELES, ie. our dreads, when considering the fact that BoB really can blob the pudding out of us if they choose to do so, and the 10 minute cycle time of the dreads which effectively makes you unable to react for 10 minutes, all mean POS warfare is not an option. Which is as it should be - thats how the POS system is designed to work - if they have the means to cyno in 30 dreads on your 15, then you shouldn't risk those 15. Couple that with the inevitable lag and the reports from D2 and the RA conflict about the vulnerability of dreads during lag, and POS warfare is right out.
So where does that leave us? Currently there are two roughly equal sized forces squaring off in YZ-LQL, engaging in sniping battles for the simple reason that we appear on each others overviews. I think BNC/DICE will soon have a few more pilots than CELES/Outbreak in system, and the carrier count of the BoB reaction team is slowly climbing up.
But Outbreak and CELES have the advantage of having lots of assets in system. We can replace our losses fast and alter our fittings as we like. We're stocked for this battle and pleased that it has finally come. Once our supplies run out we'll be in trouble - we have nowhere but here, while BoB have the rich reserves of Delve to fall back on.
Once BoB pilots move more of their ships into Fountain things will get very interesting for us. We'll suddenly have the option of small gang fights during quiet hours instead of watching them in their POS in their sniper fitted BS when they dont have the right sort of setup to venture out in small gangs.
The situation will remain dynamic and interesting for at least a few more weeks. Outbreak doesn't give a rat's tailbone about politics or pos's. We're interested in fun situations. If we can figure out how to stop these sniper battles we will, but trying to set up a short range fight is really hard. "Jump in on us! Please?" doesn't quite cut it. The versatility of long range setups dictate that they be used in situations like this, unfortunately.
So the long term goal of this conflict is a bit unclear. Is it to have great fights? I think so, for CELES and Outbreak. For BoB the goal is mainly the same, but it also might involve something like, "make these turkeys leave Fountain." CELES might also want to blow BoB, specifically, up. I might try to figure out some really sweet ancillary goals for Outbreak to make the situation more interesting, but at the moment its all about the killmails, baby.
So there's the context of the fight as I see it. To complete the picture, imagine backroom deals between certain unnamed parties, the forging of a shadowy coalition of unnamed allies, and the transfer of billions of isk into an escrow set for Seleene to be claimed during mid-fall and you can imagine the epic battles to come. But don't worry - thats all just in your imagination.
Or is it?
This has been Marko Debreault, reporting to you live from a safespot roughly 60au from the center of the YZ-LQL system. Gentleman, align your battleships.
