Hope no-one minds another thread to continue discussions of the fights around the FATAL outpost.
This continues to be a high point of my eve time thus far.
POS lag was bad but nothing like so bad as before and I could at least lock and get some shots off.
Having had LV last weekend it seems this weekends special guest stars for FATAL are 0utbreak (omg!!!) and as ever they were very professional and effective (even if they are now full of E-R nubs  ).
We had a definite lack of tacklers last night which cost us a lot of kills with people warping out in structure (damn HP changes makin alpha strikes very hard to achieve :p) but it was still a ton of fun.
For those that like to know how things were progressing our forces lost 2 dreads assaulting the POS, which was put into reinforced.
From a tactical position, the main problem for me is still the POS lag issue. You cannot remain at the POS to protect the capitals because it completely lags them out but at the same time it takes so long to load and get to them that they are left pretty vulnerable when there is a large force in system

I saw at least 30 Frig sized support on your side ... wish we could have such "low" numbers.
Was a good night, alot of fun and the laag wasnt that bad for such big fights.
Yeah but a lot of those were in AFs and slower ships so unable to get out to you and those that did get out to your ships got instapopped by your CBC and HACS, so we definetly had too few tacklers even if we had quite a few.
I would like to borrow your 14 km/s dictor however

Wasn't fun at all. Bringing "even" numbers like the first few times was good and fair sport, blobbing the heck out of the system is just, well you can tell who wants a challenge in this game. Or was those dread and BS losses starting to mount up  , how much is this outpost worth to you?
Lag ftl!
*shrugs* You roam around with no home to defend in uber T2 fitted death squads pwning people that have a fraction of your combined skill and experience then complain when they don't line up to get themselves killed by you in a "fair" fight

Oh don't worry we're not ganna leave anytime soon. You can blob all you want, but we'll use tacitcs to make the best of the situation. We like a challenge, infact the more challenging it is, the more thought needed to make a plan work.
Could I be right in guessing that the new tactics are something to do with this;
Quote:
we had really nice time last night though. No capital losses and not many other losses
Tell me if I'm wrong though.
Nice to see ASCN hasn't died with you though . Tell us how that works out for you.
*shrugs* we want to avoid unecessary capital ship losses at 1bn isk a pop when assaulting armed POS - wow we must be like carebears or something.

I wonder how much we would have to pay MC to get them to stick around tonight to put all the FATAL pos into reinforced? MC please send me a quote.
As for the fights, we were perfectly happy to engage you last night despite being outnumbered and intent on killing a POS which is lawys risky, right up until the point where MC and 0utbreak jumped dozens of capitals into the system at which point it became redundant as we were never going to put our dreads out in that situation.
Also I must remember to log off when I say I am going to and not sit chatting about the MS loss in corp chat while I get probed out

so you want to say, that 3:1 isnt enough blob for you anymore ? ;)
sorry for making the numbers even ;(
We are always happy to fight where the numbers are approx. even or where we are slightly outnumbered.
However, no-one wants to fight when hugely outnumbered, not us and not you which is why you sensibly brought in outbreak and MC.
Not blaming or criticising you for it, but dont try to pretend any fight last night would have been an "even" fight when your friends had about 40+ capitals in the system as well as outnumbering us in terms of normal ships.
In the same way that if we out blob you by 3:1 then there is little skill in the victory its just a product of the numbers. Similarly last night was not a question of skill it was just numbers and ship types.

I guess Helen did'nt get that memo then?
*shrugs* I am not Helen's boss, if he wants to fly his ship in combat and take chances with it then its up to him errr her.

This quote is priceless...
Anyways...even or uneven..lets expect we have great fun...preferably with even numbers.
I dont get it, what is priceless about it? I state that it takes little skill to win with overwhelming numbers? This is news to you? If we beat you with huge numbers then it wasn't particularly skill that did it but force of arms. If you do the same to us then it applies just the same. Its not smacking, its not flaming, it applies more to us than to you as for the most part we have had a numerical advantage, so I am not getting your point, unless you are inferring something i never meant?
Sorry if i come across as tetchy but its late, i have friends leaving the game as a result of all this devhax crap and that upsets/annoys me and i am sorry to see a game i (used to) love going down the route of sploits and game mechanics abuse (not talking about this conflict but you dont have to look too far).
