Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.25 12:35:00 - [1] Yes, my posts were removed for lack of corp ticker Here it is again, WITH CORP TICKER. BOB moved to H-PA29 in VENAL last night with 70 ships and 2 freighters. Uknown number of capital ships docked in H-PA29 as well. BOB gangs were sighted in Tribute, Venal, and sporadic BOB pilots were passing trough Taisy-Nalvula systems all night. S.E.R.A. gang operated at the same time in Tribute area, probably under BOB command. Verification pending. Mercenary Coalition capital ships pilots where sighted in Taisy. Verification of their intentions is pending. There are rumors that big BOB fleet movements are planned for the comming weekend, direction Venal. To remind EVE public anout Venal: Very hard to claim due to large number of NPC stations, excellent base of operations for attacks on Tenal, Tribute and surrounding areas. These are not rumours, these are facts. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.25 12:37:00 - [2] It seems like many pilots are trying to troll the thread into being locked? I wonder why are people bothered in hearing the facts. I will be reporting more about northern events in the future. No trolling, just the facts. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.25 12:47:00 - [3] Originally by: ArchenTheGreat Moved? No. At least not yet. I saw their gang roaming at north. Lots of sensor dampeners, cloakers and nano ships (they have to have Vagabond BPO apparently). My guess is they are a bit bored after ASCN war. Read up. Freighters docked in H-PA29. BOB pilots mostly moved back in shuttles after leaving ships in H-PA29. Capital ships docked in H-PA29. Facts only. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.25 15:21:00 - [4] Latest news from the north: Increased BOB activity in Tribute region around station systems of Morsus Mihi alliance. Gangs of 5-7 BOB pilots roaming Tribute and neutral pilots, not affiliated with northern alliances according to my sources, sighted making strategic bookmarks around gates and stations in Tribute at the same time. Morsus Mihi killboard shows increased number of BOB kills in Tribute area. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 11:05:00 - [5] Latest report from the north: D2 patrol activity increased in Venal. H-PA29 was heavily visited by D2 and allies in fast ships. Mostly interceptor gangs of 10-15 members. Morsus Mihi activity increased in Tribute areas, 60+ people gang(s) sighted in their home systems and in the pipe towards empire. Outbreak activity increased in the same period in Venal area attacking northern residents. No BOB-Outbreak encounters confirmed at all. Fast and agile ships used for camping Venal gates and patroling around the area, mostly nano battleships, commands and hacs. 30 man BOB battleship gang went trough Tribute area around midnight without apparent intention for conflict. BOB scouts and suppor ships sighted in Morsus Mihi home systems at the same time. Another ship transport gang suspected. I will keep EVE public posted. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 19:09:00 - [6] Edited by: Husari Painen on 26/01/2007 19:09:55 MC killboard provides evidence about cooperation of MC and Outbreak in attacking D2 pilots. Look for an D2 occator kill in WH-JCA with MC pilot Vily sharing a killmail with Outbreak members. Date and time: 2007-01-26 06:40:00. Outbreak relationship to BOB is still unclear as Outbreak members refuse to make a serious statement of any kind. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 19:19:00 - [7] On 2007.01.26 18:53 Mercenary Coalition has declared war on Morsus Mihi. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 19:48:00 - [8] MC ships sighted moving towards empire space due to 100+ D2 blobs in Venal area. North is currently silent. No BOB or MC activity reported for hours. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 20:41:00 - [9] MC declared on IRON and RAZOR too. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 21:24:00 - [10] Originally by: NATMav Originally by: Husari Painen MC declared on IRON and RAZOR too. You mean MM and RAZOR. IRON was in the initial wardec. You sir are right. Thank you for the correction. Here is an explanation of huge number of spam from different members of the board: It is common strategy for making news worthless trough diverting attention of readers with sensless information. By increasing number of pages posters trigger lazines in common reader who then tends to miss important pieces of information due to skipping of pointless and childish posts. Common BOB strategy when they want their intentions hidden. Part of their information warfare strategy, same as bringing their killboard down when they do large scale operations. If you are expecting a BOB invasion just check if their killboard is up. What is puzzling is identical behaviour of Outbreak members who are only marginal force in the north. Allow me to recap Outbreak behaviour inthe north. Outbreak came into Taisy area and camped Tribute entry points with success in the first month. It took northern residents about a month to organize and sucessfully protect Taisy gate in M-O from Outbreak camps. This can be tracked trough bigger Outbreak losses after the first month. Checking D2, MM and Razor killboard will give you a clearer picture. Not just those alliance but every pvp entity in the north was on Outbreak lossmails. After that Outbreak moved to area of 6NJ and H-PA in Venal. When the heat increased in that area they moved in PF (also Venal) area that they currently occupy and use as their base of operations. What all characters who spam this thread are not taking into consideration is my determination to keep people informed. I will therefore summarize latets news from the north. - MC and Outbreak pilots flying together, kills on MC killboard confirm this. - MC declared war on Razor and MM this evening - D2, Razor and MM forces heavily patrolling Venal and Tribute. H-P29 camped by more then 100 D2 (and allied) pilots - MC moved back to empire due to 'overblobage' - BOB activity not existant in the north at the moment. We deliver then news, you live with them

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 22:39:00 - [11] - MC camping Jita gate in New Caldari. - Sera (7+), Outbreak (15+) and BOB (30+) gangs operating in Venal area - 6 BOB docked in H-PA29, covered by 70+ D2 forces - BOB ceptors roaming trough Tribute, several ceptors downed by MM forces.

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.26 22:54:00 - [12] People who own TV sets will be familiar with a concept of news ticker. That's what it is. We deliver then news, you live with them

Did you just compare me to butter!? Marginal as in: - Low number - Based in NPC stations - Claiming no systems Originally by: Caldess Quote: Allow me to recap Outbreak behaviour inthe north.

So is this news or editorialism? This is hilariously off-base. That is observers opinion backed up by killboard information and historic events mixed with hard facts (like Outbreak movement from Taisy to 6NJ and PF or even marginal northern corporation being on your killmails). If Outbreak is interessted in making a stand and declaring a clear position in this conflict I wouldn't have to try to come up with a conclusion. If you can use 5 pages for spam I can use one for an opinion. I am glad that few latest posts Outbreak are (a bit more) spam-free and I am really hoping on you guys making a public statement. Saying things like "there is no BOB in the north" is not really adding to your credibility though. Simple check of BOB lossboard will prove that you are not right. Anyway, I will keep my opinion for myeself in the future to avoid watering down of this subject. It would be much more interessting to hear opinions of parties involved here then mine. So D2, Razor, MM, MC, BOB, IRON, Outbreak members are welcome to analyse the situation and post opinions. To prove my credibility regarding information I will just say that while I'm writing this 15 people Toxin gang is passing trough QHJ-FW in Venal in a mixed ship gang (ceptor to BS). Denial is useless. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.27 01:05:00 - [14] Originally by: Dash Ripcock Originally by: Husari Painen Stuff. Take your personal opinion and stance out of it. If you're really serious about becoming a source of news for the EVE public, then your posts have to be completely neutral. No 'I's or personal addresses to other players. This is not an editorial. You deliver the hard facts, the readers make up their minds. When you hire me you can tell me what to do. I agree with delivering hard facts part, but I reserve the right to have an opinion. Originally by: Dash Ripcock Have you thought about interviewing any of the key figures involved in this conflict? Or witnessing a fleet-battle as it takes place from a Covert Ops, and then reporting the outcome without bias and without a personal slant? By merely referring to Outbreak posts as 'spam' and individually addressing her pilots, you've already done yourself a great disservice as an independent news entity. Either play the game properly, or don't at all. There is no middle ground on this issue. - Bob denies involvement. Do you think they would tell me what their plans are? They even bring their killbord down when they make big fleet movements. If you would like you can PM me with your view of the situation or just plain post here. No need for a middle man. On the other side I don't expect northern residents to make their plans public as well. - There are no fleet battles in the north (yet). If I get info on one I will be there. - Most outbreak posts are pure spam. So are Bob's. Don't make quote, there is not enough place here. Your post on the other hand is not, and I greet that. Naming spam spam is not taking sides. - Individualy adressing pilots is not bad imho. I am an individual after all. My posts are not insulting. But why limit reporting to only me? All how are interessted can move north and report things they see and find. Their word is as good as mine. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.27 01:11:00 - [15] Originally by: whisk Edited by: whisk on 26/01/2007 23:56:18 Originally by: Husari Painen To prove my credibility regarding information I will just say that while I'm writing this 15 people Toxin gang is passing trough QHJ-FW in Venal in a mixed ship gang (ceptor to BS). Denial is useless. The only thing that tells us is that you have access to the northern intel channels, which added to your ever so slightly "the north is ftw" commentry, as it seems with all this reporting of bob, mc, outbreak loses/running/docked activity and no northern alliances loses/running/docked activity would suggest that your main character is part of one of those northern alliances. Have a nice day. And your comment lead me to believe that you are anti-north and pro-BOB. I could be wrong though, just like you. Saying that D2 overblobed H-PA29 and that BOB gangs are avoding large scale conflicts is not taking sides. Facts. I also posted Outbreak kill information, I mentioned no Outbreak losses. D2 members confirm my intel. Let us not make this personal, it is not about me, it is about conflict in north. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.27 10:26:00 - [16] Originally by: welsh wizard In other news, bored BoB pilots in H-PA accidentally set their autopilot to PF-QHK in Venal. When they accidentally arrived they accidentally engaged Outbreak ships outside the station which they had accidentally warped to. After the accidental fight ended both sides were apologetic and assured each other it would never happen again! Both parties agreed that the accidental friendly fire would not deter friendly cooperation during their joint campaign against the evil north™. Confirmed. 3 BOB (Reikoku) ceptors downed by Outbreak forces in PF-QHK just after midnight. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.27 13:10:00 - [17] Originally by: EnglishBob Originally by: Husari Painen Confirmed. 3 BOB (Reikoku) ceptors downed by Outbreak forces in PF-QHK just after midnight. The saga continues. Your 'journalism' appears to consist of having 3 seperate killboards open, hitting F5 occasionally and then posting whenever one faction kills another. Excellent that you mention it. Would you like to explain to EVE public just how the battle against BOB ceptors went down in PF? Allow me to ask some question that you can use as a guideline when explaining: 1. How many BOB ships were involved in the fight? 2. How many Outbreak ships were involved? 3. Why did 3 ceptors pick a fight with dictor and hacs, that is ships that they had no chance winning against? Was there baiting involved? 4. How would you clasify the facts that 3 ceptors didn't run from stronger force, since we all know that it is very hard getting mwding ceptor who desires to avoid fighting, and you managed to kill 3.

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.28 01:31:00 - [18] After a rather peacefull day and night events started unfolding as I write these lines. MC and BOB show of force in Tribute entry points Sometime after midnght MC entered M-O from Taisy with a force of about 30 fast ships. Small northern force camp was dispersed and MC took over control of M-O. Then 2 motherships were jumped in. My sources also confirm presence of 14-18 MC carrier gang in the same area. MC forces are backed up by 20 BOB gang moving around Autaris-Nalvula area. So far there were no clues about intentions of involved parties. I will keep you posted. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.28 23:54:00 - [19] Situation in the north complicates further This evening Outbreak showed force in PF-QHK by having over 40 active pilots against a fleet of 20- D2 ships. Most interessting detail was that Outbreak gang was supported by MC pilot Alynthir in his aeon - mothership. There was also a reportof another mothership present in the system, and about 6-8 carriers on Outbreak side. This is just one of the many conformation about cooperation of Outbreak and MC inthe north. The facts that Outbreak engages BOB is therefore still puzzling to many EVE residents. Conflict was resolved by D2 forces gathering massive number of pilots in the system (over 200 D2 allied pilots), supported by northern allies, Razor and Morsus Mihi. D2 also jumped in their titan in PF. Bob didn't have any significant presence in the system at that point in time (2-3 docked pilots only). At that point in time Outbreak and MC forces logged off. And interessting information is also that Outbreak forces were flying long-range battleships type ships rather then close range fast ships, and their number matched a smaller alliance fleet (40+). All information can be verified on related killboards. At the same time Roadkill gang of about 20 ships passed trough Tribute core systems, probably using the absence of Morsus Mihi fleet who were at the PF area. No major conflict was reported. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.29 00:54:00 - [20] Originally by: Dave Tehsulei Originally by: Husari Painen Situation in the north complicates further This evening Outbreak showed force in PF-QHK by having over 40 active pilots against a fleet of 20- D2 ships. Learn to count I missed to point out that initial fight started with 40+ Outbreak and 20- D2 pilots. D2 requested backup and got 200+ in few hours. There is nothing wrong with my math. Is my report wrong? Then you, as direct participant of the conflict, could explain to EVE public how it all started. Did you overblob D2 using motherships and carriers initially, and then they overblobbed you with titan and allies? We deliver then news, you live with them

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.29 10:00:00 - [21] Edited by: Husari Painen on 29/01/2007 10:00:25 OUTBREAK CONFIRMS COOPERATION WITH MC AGAINST NORTHERN ALLIANCES http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=446507&page=5 Find post by Outbreak pilot Marko D. describing last night's events in PF. This is the first public confirmation of Outbreak forces about working toghether with MC forces in the north. Quote: We had 3 carriers docked, and the MC brought two motherships, both of which were in space. A good read for EVE public. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.29 10:28:00 - [22] Originally by: OozoO Husari - please make a new thread out of this. I do not intend to. It would be nice if a mod could clean the thread of spam though. I personally hate making gazillion threads about same topic. As for the accusations for being a 'D2 man' I will just say that everything I posted and reported was confirmed by Marko D. in his post I quoted earlier. It is there for EVE public to see. The only part of the story I was missing is the D2 camp of the station and Outbreak/MC vs D2 in PF prior to 'blobage'. If I was a D2 man or had D2 internal resources I would have known that: - They were there to kill a pos - You had 2 MC motherships with you I must express by gratitude to Outbreak pilot Marko D. for comming up with a honest report on how he percieved PF events from the last night. If we had more pilots like him EVE public wouldn't be needing my services at all and my reports would be more accurate. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.29 10:58:00 - [23] Originally by: boeses frettchen hmm 0utbreak was like a long time "guest" in the north, without smack and stuff. no need to begin right now ... So I have been told by my sources in the north - 'Capable piloting and smackless local'. It seems that this rule doesn't apply for EVE forums which saddens me. Outbreak outsmacks BOB in this thread by far. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.29 16:08:00 - [24] OUTBREAK - Northern enigma As many recent events in the north are tied to Outbreak activity it is well providing some information about the them to an average EVE resident. A rising force in the north, with no public agenda and a secret ally list, Outbreak was formed some 9 months ago by pilot named Marko Debreault with his friends from Battle Angels Inc corporation. Outbreak corporation, or Toxin, as known to EVE public currently counts 171 pilots of which about 100 are activly appearing in their killboard reports and in operations. Their current base of operations is system PF-QHK in Venal. After they appeared in the Tributue entry area (Taisy - M-O) the presented a harrasment to northern residents, who were not used to pirate activity that was stopped by long TCF vs North conflict. As we know pirates tend to prefer peacefull and fat areas of EVE space rather then military zones filled with numerous patrols. Since TCF retreat from the north, farming and mining has again reached it's peak in the now peacefull area. What was missing was the 'instability factor' that came in a form of Outbreak. Their early camps of Tasy gate in M-O have caused big losses to northern residents. And the lazines of the north didn't help much in the beginning. Quote from one of the northern residents who wishes to remain anonymous: "After TCF left we all rushed to fill our wallets. Even macro farmers came in big numbers. We got lazy and went out of shape really fast. Then Toxin started ganking our haulers in M-O. People couldn't get their new ship trough without being attacked by them. At first it caused a real problem but then we organised. I think we should be gratefull to Toxin for helping us not loose the edge and grow even more fat and lazy. Average response time for Toxin insurgency was up to 45 minutes, it was terrible. By the time we would get enough ships to counter them they would be drinking tee in Taisy station. Now it has changed, response time is 0 as we have constant patrols and camps set up troughout the region. And if the threat is bigger then patrols can handle we need less then 5 minutes to swap to combat outfits and get in position. At first we believed they were sent by someone to prepare an invasion, but then they moved deeper to Venal and invasion never came. I guess they are just thrillseekers." But are they?

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.29 16:18:00 - [25] Analysing the current active Outbreak pilot roster gives and interessting variety of pilot pasts. There are ex Celes, Iron, Razor and LV members. But most represented parties are BOB (with 10+) and suprisingly even more, FIX old members (15+). So what does that really tell us? Nothing much I would dare to say. Except that Outbreak pilot base had a past of being hostile to northern alliances in their previous corportions as well. I found it very suprising that Outbreak has only one ex MC member (pilot named Uggs386). It seems that Outbreak has big plans for the future. The fact that their agressive recruitment policy has brought them 30 new pilots in the past 2 months only confirms this impression. And pilots recruited are no industrial characters. Will we soon see Outbreak take sides and start claiming systems in the north? I guess future will show. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.29 20:38:00 - [26] BOB SHOPPING SPREE KIA has joined in the fun by declaring on D2, Razor and Morsus Mihi alliances. All other merc corporations are ligning up to get on BOB payrole as it seems that BOB will not try to save money in the north. BOB romaing gangs are regarded as a mere nusiance in the north so far and many northern residents are disappointed that BOB is not acctually invading in full force. It is common belief that BOB's intentions are to soften the north by cutting off empire suply lines but some people in the north are laughing at that tactics as industrial empire characters will be removed from alliances (as usuall in these situations) and PVP majority will remain in 0.0 where mercenaries rarely dare to come. I have recieved a following comment from one of the Razors: "They can camp Jita all they want, but they will be waiting for a long time for me to go there. Very long time". The saga continues. The saga continues We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.30 09:05:00 - [27] BOB STRATEGY REVEALED Last night BOB stormed trough northern systems with gang of 40 people, mostly nanoned ships, but also packing some serious firewpower in about 18 battleships. Even though there was no major clash with northern forces BOB pilots managed to get quite a few easy kills on unsuspecting residents who thought they were safe behind bubbled gates. Well they thought wrong it seems. And BOB gang left towards Pure Blind before north was able to organise. Is this new? According to one ex ASCN member who was kind enough to share his BOB fighting expirience with me here is an explanation of the BOB tactics: - Organize large but very fast roaming gangs - Hit enemy core careabearing systems disrupting all isk making activites - Make as much damage as possible - Move before serious force is organised to defend the system, don't give them a fight - Leave cloaked scout or two to make them believe you are watching and will be back - Do this over and over again to build up frustration among the residents, they will not be making any isk, they will not be getting any kills, they will doubt their leadership and internal problems will surface - Once the whole region is destabilized move in force and seize core systems with bliztkrieg tactics It worked with ASCN, will it work with north? Can north be compared with ASCN? Some would say yes. The "NAP-squad" has grown lazy and disorganized due to lack of action, in opinions of many. Some would say no. One of the arguments is northern cooperation against TCF, where they proved that thay can be both agressive and patient at the same time. Also during TCF conflict whole of north stood together until the TCF was left with no option but to retreat. One more thing worth mentioning is favourite northern isk-making activity; macro-farmers hunting. Many of D2, Razor and MM people claim that killing one macro-farmer is more lucrative them mining crockite for hours. And you get to 'farm' in pvp setup. My ex-ASCN contact continues with a piece of advice for northern residents: "Just don't let them mess with your mind. If they come in ganksquads ignore them. Log, dock, get on pos. Don't give them any fight. They can't harm you in ceptors. Don't waste your energy hunting them around. They will come for your poses and that is the moments when you need to be ready, not before. When they get their dreads in then strike them with all you have, until then save your energy. Also note that if they start smacking in local they are getting frustrated themselves for lack of action. All that warping and jumping is not easy if you don't kill anything. Don't smack with them, they like it more then pvp, and they are better at smacking then anyone in EVE. Deprive them of all pleasures when they come to you." However it is not easy remaining calm while hostiles forces roam trough your systems. This is why north might react in a way that ASCN hasn's even considered. By bringing the fight to BOB. There are some uncofirmed roumours that northern alliances will not wait for BOB to finish their strategy and will strike while BOB forces are split between roaming north and defending core BOB systems. Will it really happen? I guess the time will tell. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.30 13:14:00 - [28] I'll just take a small break to reply to some of you: - To the ones who are prasing my work: Thank you, I will do my best to keep you informed - To the ones proposing improvements: I have read all constructive proposals so far and I will try implementing what I like and find correct. We all have our opinions and I reserve mine to dislike a certain proposal - To the ones openly disrespecting me: You are on ignore. I am reading your posts becouse there might be something usefull information in every line. But don't hold your breath in vain for my reply on your specific post. This is the last time I'm mentioning it. The trouble is that I am the: - News reporter - Journalist on the field - Analyst So forgive me when I swicth from reporting to commenting and drawing conclusions. Dry news are plain boring. Too colored comments are flamebait. I need to find the middle. Even world news agencies do their reporting of the events in 2 ways. When a certain african tribe anihilates 500,000 people its reported with less value then when someone tries to rob Dieter Bohlen (Modern Talking anyone?). If I think that a certain event has no or little value on the topic of BOB invading north then I will skip it or report it superficially. If I think that it has a major impact (like last nights patrol trough north) then I will give it more space and thought. To finish with repeating again: If you feel you can contribute in constructive manner to this feel free to gather your news and put them here. Post your views on the situation, discuss BOB tactics, D2 intentions etc. I also invite ASCN members to post their view on how they could have performed better, since we all know that everyone is a perfect general after the battle. I will go back now to reporting. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.01.30 21:53:00 - [29] KIA and MC vs northern forces As I write these lines 25 MC and KIA pilots are sitting docked with me in only station in Taisy. It seems that there are many more around ready to engage northern gang in M-O. Big conflict is brewing and mercs are well equiped for empire combat as I have seen only hacs, recons and ceptors. Very few t1 ships in merc lines. Content of northern fores is unknown to me as they are in 0.0 system M-O, but if judging by merc forces north should have at least 50 ships in their lines. I will keep you posted on the battle outcome. If you are a thrillseeker and like to witness huge conflicts you may come to taisy but be warned, all the pilots seems jumpy right now. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them

The saga continues. I have managed to get some statements from MC pilots in Taisy local. Here are some examples when I asked about expectations for the upcomming battle: Crovan > Ice cream man. popsicles angelena > 99 with a flake When I asked for a statement rather then tactical data I recieved follwing answers: Idara > yo momma! angelena > "the moon is not made of cheese" Ryunoko > the earlier you die, the longer you're dead Wladomir Jed > in the end of his life he died ZaKma > I like boobs. You can quote me on that. SeckelitE > all good things come to those who wait... SeckelitE > so wait a bit.... Not recieving much I decided to move on and wait for the results of the battle. Unfortunately the battle didn't come at that point in time since MC forces laft Taisy and were followed by Morsus Mihi gang of aproximately 40 pilots. Then Morsus Mihi gang lefte back for their teritory, as it seems with no contact to MC or KIA forces. According to witnesses 10 minutes later MC forces came back in numbers and followed MM gang into M-O. The outcome of the battle in MM home systems can be viewed on MC killboard. It seems it didn't go well for the north. I have managed to get a statement from an MM pilot who whishes to remain anonymous. Quote: "First they came into M-O, 50 of them after we made one of their gangs run from us in empire. We were around 10. By the time we recieved reinforcements they left M-O and we followed. Then they dispersed in empire and we decided to come back to our home systems. Many of our gang members logged and we were caught off guard by their visit, me included. I just hate when that happens, you are online for 5 hours, patrol, and as soon as you log they burst in. But good so, let them come again, next time they will take the pod-express." It seems that north has still not become a true war-zone but hostilities are picking up. I will try getting into northern territories but since northern alliances activily pursue NBSI policy it might prove very hard. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.02.01 00:56:00 - [31] MM PAYBACK TO MC A major battle occured in H-W tonight involving MC capital (2 motherships and 3 carriers) and Morsus Mihi defending fleet. According to killboards most of MC forces were destroyed in a fight that lasted over 30 minutes on MSHD gate in H-W, including 2 Archon class carriers. Morsus Mihi forces lost their only carrier in this engagement also, and many battleships due to huge firepower or MC motherships and carrier. But at the end MM forces stood the ground as MC motherships were forces to retreat leaving most of their fighters on the battlefield. My source in MM alliance has given me the following statement: "Awesome battle, we took on their support ships and after killing all of them we moved to carriers. Their remote repair strategy was good but they had no chance in the end. Too bad motherships are imune to EW and they were able to jump out just when we had them ready for anihilation. I have respect towards them jumping into us even though they knew we outnumber them but I have to say that logoffski tactics of their pods did loose them a lot of points on my respect-scale. I understand that capial ships pilots have their heads filled with implants but logoffski is just lame." So last night's MC victory against Morsus Mihi forces has been annuled by today's battle. Both sides lost a lot of iskies but MM forces stood ground and looted the battlefield which certanly made their losses more berable. There is alos another report of MM an MC forces encounter in empire previous to this epic battle. But it seems some of the MM forces have been living for too long in 0.0 as concord did 'help' MC get some of the ships. At the end MM stood ground as well but concord forces killed at least 3 of their ships due to wrong targeting. As it seems the focus now lies in Tribute area. BOB roaming gangs confirmed killing one MM dread in D7-ZAC but they are still limiting on roaming and nano-gangs and no big fleet movements have been made towards the north. D2 and Razor are also pretty silent. Maybe MM is capable of holding their ground alone for now but if the full scale invasion occurs help will be required in the opinion of the many. The saga continues. I would like to hear MC point of view regarding this conflict. Feel free to post your battle report here directly, I am sure thatEVE public would like it.

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.02.01 13:47:00 - [32] BIG NORTHERN FREIGHTER FLEET SIGHTED LAST NIGHT My sources confirm that big freighter fleet form one of the northern alliances was seen last night moving towards empire and then back to north few hours later. The content of cargo holds remains a mistery. Was it tritanium or were they packed with pos modules that are to be used in invasion on BOB, LV or MC space, I guess we will never know. As for BOB insurgency attempts in the north it is clear that almost 100% of BOB pilots taking part in those operations ar members of DICE. Is BOB trying to split it's forces and cover more then possible? Or is this only a test of northern readiness to defend their systems? The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.02.01 14:25:00 - [33] Originally by: Vily You didn't answer Sel. I believe you owe a response. Do I? Thanks for the encouragement, and the report in the different thread about H-W battle. Very good stuff. But I fail to see how I owe a response in any way, I'm not doing any shooting am I? You let me know if I'm missing something please. I'm grateful for all the hints. I did some research on the E-O fight that happened before the H-W event but all I know is that MC killed few razor and MM ships using motherships. My sources are limited here. As for accusation that I'm a Razor alt: You sir just confirmed the roumours I heard about that freighter fleet trough your accusation. So it was probably Razor freighter fleet? Care to comment for EVE public? Tritanium, Zydrine or POS warfare modules? Or was it a D2 fleet? If it was BOB fleet my BOB source would have stepped up much sooner I have to say. The saga continues.

Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.02.01 14:27:00 - [34] Originally by: Mynas Atoch If we'd known you were going to be this interested in the TRE/RZR convoy, we would have got you some cargo scans while it sat on the Reisen/Akora gate, or at one of the other points it had to pause on route. Next time, ask. Allow me to ask this question in the name of EVE public: What was in those freighters? We deliver then news, you live with them
Husari Painen Independant News Agency	Posted - 2007.02.01 15:03:00 - [35] Originally by: 0raven0 Originally by: Lord WarATron Originally by: Husari Painen Allow me to ask this question in the name of EVE public: What was in those freighters? Tin Foil hats. I have given up on ever knowing what the whole tin foil hat thing is... Allow me: A tin-foil hat (abbreviated TFH), also tinfoil hat, is a general term for a piece of headgear made from one or more sheets of tin foil, aluminium foil, or other similar material. Some people wear the hats in the belief that they act to shield the brain from such influences as electromagnetic fields, or against mind control and mind reading. Such hats are very uncommon in mainstream society, as the injuries they might guard against are highly speculative, and their effectiveness in preventing such harm would be dubious even if the danger were plausible. Instead, the concept has become a popular stereotype and term of derision; the phrase serves as a byword for paranoia and is associated with conspiracy theorists. So what they are trying to say is: BOB is not attacking, it's all in your head. The saga continues. We deliver then news, you live with them
