I'd make a nice banner, but it's 7:20am, and like many other Fixians, I'm aching to go get some sleep.
Yesterday, FIX went to place it's second Egg, with the desire to build it's first outpost. The first time around saw our egg get scrambled. Well... this time it hatched, but not without a tremendous effort on the part of AAA to see a repeat of history.
I wish I had Seleene's skill in doing a battle report, but I'll have to make do with providing some simple details of what has taken place.
Things got off to a rough start, but we were on schedule to get our outpost filled in time for DT. That wasn't to be however, AAA arrived on the scene in force and made it into the system intact. The next several hours saw some intense fighting take place, with many ship losses, before DT came around, the egg was at 45% structure, having come under assault by Dreadnoughts, two of which were destroyed, but the cost in ships lost in return was very high. (I think that happened by DT, could have been the next morning... my brain is fuzzy as hell atm)
Fighting continued nearly unabated after DT, and during pauses in the fighting FIX haulers were able to get the filler into the egg. The objective was very straight forward, protect the egg, at any cost. Well the bill was pretty **** high. In the space of 24 hours, over 650 ships were killed in ED-L9T.
At one point, ED saw over 20 Carriers in deployment between the two sides, with Dreadnoughts being moved into position. 8 Capital ships in total were destroyed in the course of the fighting, 3 FIX carriers, 3 AAA carriers, 1 AAA dreadnought, and 1 RA dreadnought.
How can anyone sum up 30 hours of fighting? Nothing I can write can do this justice. AAA brought it, and they brought it in a big way. Equally impressive, were the allies that came to FIX's aid. Were it not for them, I have serious doubts that we wouldn't be seeing a repeat of history. Our allies can't be thanked enough for their aid.

THANK YOU!
You all managed to somehow put up with a hundred tired, drunk, occasionally TS spamtastic Fixians for over 30 hours... more than anything else, that impresses the hell out of us.
To my fellow Fix, you've me very proud for the stamina you've shown, your lemming-like disregard for losses in a time of need, and your inability to quit.
To AAA. Respect. You brought it, and you kept on bringing it.
Regards, Avernus

Edited by: DHB FooFighter on 19/11/2006 13:37:33 Gj FIX. Even though i was temporarily allied with AAA, whos POS's we put into reinforced only a few hours before, to exact some sort of twisted revenge... ( Tyrraxs idea, not mine :P, I was only there to make sure we didn't all die)
i must say i had one hell of an evening...
Edit: which was most definitly capped when we ransomed some storm armada(?) fighter drones that a carrier had left in 2 jet cans outside a station, all proceeds going to tyrrax's tourny fund

Edited by: Evil Thug on 19/11/2006 14:10:04 Edited by: Evil Thug on 19/11/2006 14:07:36 Operation was planned by me and Shifu. We planned to perform "Hit`n run", bringing 14 carriers to do this job.
18 november 07.00 GMT we started to form gang in LGK and launched assault on ED-. We crushed enemy fleet at entry point and entered system. We had 4 hours to kill outpost egg. Unfortunately game mechanic made its correctives. Fighters unable to hit outpost construction platform. Why ? I don`t know. They just stay and don`t react. So, we remained with relatively small gang in the heart of enemy territory, without any firepower that able to get outpost down. And the main thing. We lost our main advantage - suddenness. We tried to get dn`s on egg, but managed to get only 8 drednoughts on a 15 minutes notice. All other people weren`t ready for that.
Despite placing gang in defensive stance (so everyone can fighterbomb with t1 frigs) we managed to get 3.5 : 1 k\d ratio on battleships (140 destroyed - 40 lost). As for capital ships - it could be better. We lost 5 capships, while killed 4.
Do we regret about our coming into ED ? - No, despite stolen by gamemechanics victory, we received loads of fun fighting Fix forces. Personally i haven`t had such kind of thrill since n-crel time.
Well, holidays is over, time to move back to our wartargets. On behalf of aAa i`d like to thank fixians for amazing weekend. gf.

Edited by: Seleene on 19/11/2006 14:50:40 I've lost count of the number of "Egg Warming" ops I've been on over the last year. FINALLY we got one that was every bit as tense and dangerous as it can get.
I honestly had my doubts that this was going to be pulled off. At one point, MC had nine carriers and forty pilots in anything they could fly. We certianly did not plan on this being anything more than a quick in and out. It turned into an insane amount of fun.
Respect to AAA for living up to their implacable reputation. Kudos to FIX for pulling together.
I don't think any outpost in EVE has ever been more well earned.

Grats guys, you've certainly earned that egg in blood sweat and tears. Be proud of it.
I'm only sorry we couldn't hang around for longer and take part in the fun, but we had to keep our appointment ;)
Well done.
