Just out of curiousity... what was the ratio of Celes:ASCN forces that worked together to gain control of the outpost?
Was this mainly a Celes op, or mainly an ASCN op.. or both in equal measure?

Celes had the system locked down alredy when we brought in the cap ships. ASCN had 0 battlships for the whole op, all ascendant ships were either capital or support.
Cool.. so ASCN provided some heavy firepower.. how many capitals was that?
I'll understand if the information is too sensitive to divulge.

I went there at 100km away, and I saw so many capital ships... I was astonished.
.. thankyou for your input, but you do sound like a relatively new player, possibly easily impressed by a largish fleet.
I guess both Celes and ASCN are reticent in answering the question of how many ASCN capitals were on the field.
I assume Xelas won't be as reticent... Xelas, how many ASCN capitals were brought to bear on the outpost system?

The answer is 42.
That is a substantial logistical achievement then... fair play to ASCN.

I don't think Nez got the joke.
I guess I'm not a 5 year old.. so how many Capitals did ASCN bring to take the Xelas outpost?
ASCN has made a big song and dance about this event... making a post on the map thread, and Cyvok with his "spin this" topic....
But actually we have no idea how much of this is down to ASCN at all.
We know ASCN brought some support.. but we donŠt know what else.
You could have brought 5 capitals only, in which case ASCNŠs cheast beating would look awfully hollow.
So I think you might want to answer the question now or we can get Xelas to answer it.
Either way is fine as far as I am concerned.

Nez, ASCN is not going to give you that information. You should know better then to even ask.
I donŠt care wether ASCN give that information or not.. they ought to as its only going to come out anyways..... one way or another.
IŠm sure Xelas/Horde or BoB will answer the question.

it is not hollow chestpounding on behalf of ASCN, they moved that huge capital fleet many jumps very fast and stood for the majority of the POS pounding with Celest assistance.
right... what is a "huge" capital fleet xendie?
IŠm sure somebody would like to supply the approximate number of ASCN Capitals that helped to take the outpost down.

It is enough to pound 4 large hardend deathstar POS's into reinforced in a few hours and the fleet was also supported by a number of carriers... so do the math its not 5... FAR from it.
k so there were more than 5 capital ships between Celes and ASCN.. we are getting there... how many of the total number were ASCN capitals?
No bothams will die if you let us know.. I assure you.

Methinks the answer is fairlly apparent - they had 40 or so in gang and the system count was 120 ASCN had all capitals so 130 - 40 = 80 capitals.
The answer to the question was given by Cyvok in the other thread "spin this".....
Originally by: CYVOK
For the record,
17 ASCN Capital Ships & 3 Celes Capital Ships. Celes poked the hole, ASCN dropped the hammer.
Celestial Apoc were very orgainzed and it was awesome flying with them again after so many years on oppsite sides of the political fence.
-CYVOK-
It appears the ASCN forces totalled ~ 100 support + 17 Capital ships.
A sizeable force by anybody's standards. So ASCN do deserve credit for ASCN/Celes taking the station..
How much or how little credit? .... well thats debatable but neither here nor there.
IMO ASCN deserve some credit here for thinking outside the box, and waging war on more than the bog standard lag-ridden single front.... the question is.. can they keep it up?
If they can.. this war may surprise a lot of people myself included.
