It's a damn shame for a corporation to have to withdraw it's wardec just because lag makes the game uplayable, I hope someone has mailed the mods just to bring this thread to their attention, I really think its that important that they see this, when server performance impacts playability on such a massive massive scale, then the whole coding team should drop whats its doing and look for a fix (that's if all of them aren't already)
sorry to hear you cant have fun guys
Afaik it is not the number of pilots on the node alone that causes the problem. Some (prolly many  ) actions cause memory leaks. That's what brings the server down to it's knees i think. Once this is fixed more people should only lead to more lag but no node server crashes.
As soon POS are involved it gets very bad usually it seems.

Never under-estimate a bunch of freedom fighters backed into a corner with no place to go.
To our allies - my thanks - it won't be forgotten.
To our enemies - well fought - you sure sharpened our blades.
To my brothers - victory is ours! Onwards to freedom!

Although I am mostly inactive due to RL, it was a fight I couldn't miss.
To be honest it's the first time we have encountered well thought out and continued resistance to a POS op, kudos for that.
I totally agree, was only there for the first CCK POS battle and what fun that was, sure there was some lag but it was holding well, shame about the second attempt as the node crashes denied them the full use of their assets.

It's been fun. I can tell you that Ushra'Khan has learned alot in the last month.
It's a shame that the servers can't handle POS warfare though.
Thanks to EST and Veto for a smack free war.

Both sides have had plenty of practice I would say. That is one of the things I have noticed over the last few weeks, the development of different tactics.
Many times we had to think outside the box then after using the same trick a few times we noticed the enemy using it. Then we would develop a counter tactic etc. Of course there was plenty of camping / camp busting and all the other cheastnuts.
Lots of interesting stuff came out of this. I have loads of ideas for new ship fittings / roles and squadron level tactics now.
There were a few moments I got a lump in the throat (I can be a soppy bastard at times). When I was upgrading one of the POSs in my care after it had been brought back to 50% shield a bunch of guys I had run into many months ago turned up out of the blue in logistics ships because they had heard we were in need. I won't name drop but you know who you are  . Amongst all the corp thieves, macro miners and escrow scammers it's folk like that really keep me playing Eve.
I'd just like to say a massive thank you to everyone, alliance or loner, that turned up to help us out.

Pilots in system wasn't the problem. It was when said pilots dropped on the same grid, especially at a POS. On one of the early POS assaults I was on recon duty, scouting the POS, and everything was fine until the attacking fleet arrived. At which point lag spiked, and the node died soon after.

Well, just want to thank everyone involved in this, both enemies and allies, for the great fights I've had during the course of this war 
Couldn't believe otto's moros managed to survive in that first hit on our poses by the MC ^^ Good job taking out the fighters quickly there  Didn't get to see the fight at the reinforced pos tho 150 fighters in the air seems a likely culprit for crashing the node

Had a lot of fun last days, thanks for fighting guys , we needed someone that actually undocked and fighted us after moths of boredom.
I was in the support gang and in cover ops duty both days, first day, even we attacked without any proper planing (morning atack) was very fun, we lost bss in the morning due to this nonpreparation but in the evening attack, the pew pew duck shoot was fun ( sniping fighters ), i dont know the numbers, but from my point of view i had to lock targets a lot of times, meaning that the 6 i had targeted died or returned to the carrier.
Second day attack was crazy(thanks to node deads), in the first fight the problem we got was that in the same moment ur frigs warped to our support gang with the fighters, our TS crashed !!!!111!! ( no tin floit hat here, just big load in server stuff i supose), then the MC guys joined the proper channel but the guys in UK and ISS needed to be moved from the lobby, our gang leader was stating orders in ts but 65% of the ppl coulndt hear him.... little mess at this point but we need to thank the guy that fitted his BS with smartbombs, he did a fine job i think
Then, the first node crash, for us, a nightmare, we need the co to get in position again, reform gangs and sort ts, all to see the tower at 25% shields again  , thank god fighters are bugged and they go inactive when u crash, if not u just need to warp to ur pos and spank the dreads that were sittting ducks without support and with some of them offline, instead you had to pick the fighters, thank god(ccp)on that.
Good fun, shame is over

I would like to say a massive thank you to UK and ISS for the best two/three weeks of combat in my EVE career. I have downed and lost more ships in the last few weeks than I have in all the time I have been playing.
It was a blast!
The lag is already well documented so I will say little about it now.
To Ushra Khan. You are fearless, uncompromising enemies. Well done to you.
To ISS. Well organised, passionate and professional. Good job guys.
To my allies. Guys we have had an awesome few weeks. We should console ourselves with the fact that the skirmishes were great fun and we took less losses than kills. We as pirates have turned our skills to show how effective we can be when we pull together. I have made many new friends outside of VETO and look forward to maybe working together in the future.
In the meantime I am hoping for a standings reset so I can shoot at yah!!
Good luck to all involved on both sides. o/

Larsson had so much fun in that damn Zealot that I couldn't get him into a BS for anything this weekend.
Anyway, I just wanted to add a few things:
Local was completely free of smack from both sides. Even the convos I received from the opposition were enthusiastic, respectful and fun.
As I watched the clouds of fighters get thinned by our drones and support during three major fights, I realized that I have never wanted kill mails for fighters more than now. On Saturday alone, there must have been somewhere between 50-70 of the things popped. That's no small amount of ISK to have to replace, especially considering the build time on the suckers.
Our enemy truly had balls. This is how you're supposed to fight a war. I had an blast trying to think of how to counter whatever nasty surprises the pirates might have in store for us during the next fight and how to best counter them. Best of all was that we knew we weren't wasting our time with all the preparation.
Lastly, ISS and UK did an outstanding job of integrating into the ops MC ran this weekend. While I had a good idea what to expect from ISS due to our past contracts with them, UK was a new experience for us. Prior to this weekend, the only time I'd even seen more than one UK ship on my scanner was during the alliance tourney in July.
In less than 48 hours, we went from being total strangers to watching each other's backs with tens of billions of ISK in hardware on the line. We told ISS & UK what we needed from them and it happened with great speed and efficiency.
Maggot, Eddie and Count - you guys rock. It was a pleasure to work with you. If I ever have to fight against you in the future, and I think I speak for all of MC here, it will be with a newfound sense of respect.
I'm very proud of the tenacity and just pure guts that all the pilots in 9UY on both sides showed. When the node held, we all got a glimpse of the real promise of how varied and intense combat can be in this game. Hopefully CCP will cure the 'Dragon Flu' soon.

Was a pretty nuts last couple of days fighting. I've lost count of the number of times i warped in and out of the hostile POS's to dogfight with the frigs and fighters right next to the bubble in my claw. Props to both sides, our support was risking, dodging, tanking or just plain dying to POS guns and you guys were flying straight into the teeth of a larger well equipped, determined fleet.
The lag was a git to start with, but after the second node crash it seemed to clear alot. Also most of the fighters by that point were dead, lost, returned etc etc. Maybe a corrolation.
Whatever, nice fighting to all.

If CCP wants POS to be the way forward in this game, they will need to give us a game that supports it. It might just be that current computer technology just cannot support engagements of this
scale. :(
Of course we can't tell WHY the dam nodes keep croaking but they could buy a couple of 8 way servers (like these) for when they know there are going to be serious resource problems. I wonder how 9U would have performed if it had been run on something like that rather than a crappy blade.
Even so.. I have to thank EST, Veto and friends for a great couple of weeks! Who needs shore leave (no MINING dam it!) when you have these guys to keep you busy and the MC simply rock.

I've had some of my best and blackest days since leaving the academy over recent weeks. We've had glorious victories and have taken some deep wounds, sometimes on the same day. This has been one of the most vicious and focused conflicts in capsuleer warfare. It may lack the sheer numbers of some deep space wars but this month has seen what was considered a strategically minor area of space draw the focus of the galaxy. New technologies have been testing to breaking point, a truly epic battle of wills has played out.
I think that the war was effectively deadlocked for several weeks. Neither side could hurt the other hard enough quickly enough to really decide it. In the early weeks we were on the backfoot against superior numbers with every pirate organisation in the area worth mentioning lining up against us in unprecedented co-operation (I have to credit EST with pulling off something special there, there has never been a pirate coalition like it IMO) and we saw groups quite foreign to the area such as Veto coming across. Over time our allies and old friends gathered and came to help defend the symbol of Matari freedom, Unity Station. To all we are eternally grateful and honoured.
In the last couple of weeks I think the war reached a rough equilibrium. One side had dominance here, the other there, and it all shifted around. This could have gone on for another month until someone brought in more forces to tip the balance, and both sides did. Muffins Of Mayhem arrived in the latter stages and things tilted the other way for a little while. SMACK were hired briefly to tip the balance log enough to take out a few pos, MC were finally brought in the bring an end to the war.
On the issue of lag, I think it screwed both sides pretty equally. SMACK were hired to help kill two large POS. Both were put into reinforced but when it came time to kill them a GM ordered an 8hr ceasefire in 9UY to prevent server crashes. EST were able to rep both pos and we lost all of our invested effort and advantage. At other times we probably came out of node deaths better off than the enemy. I don't think it's fair to say that lag won the war, it crippled both sides offensives at times and which is one reason the mercs were brought in. Quick decisive battles were the only way to end it.
As monumental as the past month has been I look forward to a return to our true mission - the liberation or our people. Soon the Amarr will have us to fear once more. We come for our people!

I would like to congratulate U'K, ISS, friends and hired mercs on a job well done.
Not only did i enjoy the fights we've had, but also the almost smack free nature in which they occured made this a pleasant engagement.
We tried and fought hard, but between the massive resistance and the server problems it was simply to much to overcome.
I like to thanks FZN, ED, EST, VETO and all the others for their support and the fun i had flying with all of you. and who knows what the future might bring us.
The Atrocitas alliance has stopped their attacks on 9uy and U'K & Co in general, yet we will be around to be annoying and irritating as usual
Catch ya later guys.
