how come these systems are so critical, they have other stations to operate from dont they in other systems?
The impostance of capital systems has a big impact on wars.
The thinking is: if we can't defend Rome, what hope does Gaul have? Thus the outlying systems tend to be overun quickly with minimal resistance.

When LV+Allies had 400 ships and bubbles on the gate there were 2 options.
1. Jump in a massive fllet and crash the node.
2. Jump in waves of 200 cruisers and crash the node repeatedly. It took a couple waves of throwaway ships but goons managed to do that several times and thanks to the node only covering that system and not the adjacent ones the rest of the coalition jumped in afterwards while the defenders were trying to log in.
Why would you jump in waves of cruisers when you had enough ships to take the defenders as you proclaim you did?

You didnt kill a titan, you aborted one, and I bet there was time left on its cook timer.
I dont think there was a compelling reason for the attack to happen then, other then 'we want to', which given the consequences to so many people on both sides, doesn't seem really justified.
So if you had a very good opportunity to kill a titan you would not because they have 400 people in local and your gang is 600? LetÆs call it off boys the node is going to crash.
You would rather take your 600 man fleet and put 5-10 POS into reinforce mode that really does nothing for you? Come on dude you sound retarded.
Lets see a titan is billion of isk a titan BPO is billions of isk and that kind of a loss hurts ones motivation to keep fighting. It also gave us the chance to setup a friendly POS to base our operations out of giving us a safe place.
On a side not if LV had 2 titans they would use 2 DDÆs at the same time making it very difficult for us to get anything doneà Letting them finish the 2nd titan would have been just dumb of us. The LV titan was coming out of the oven in 1 week. This was in the LV high command forums.
Why did you guys not jump in your whole fleet at once then if you were there to counter the numbers...
Why did you guys systematically jump in just enough people every time to crash the node, and leave the rest of your fleet somewhere else?
Why are there teamspeak recordings floating around of your FC's telling people how to crash the nodes?
You guys are so anti-bob for meta gaming and being all*****y but I havent seen a single mature decent post from anyone on your side in a long time. On top of that with the constant bragging about spying do you really think anyone outside of your bandwagon respects you any more then BoB? No.
The answer is jump queues. You can't jump in 1000 people all at once.
There was a constant stream of people coming down. If we had said: ok you 1000 people all jump in, do you think the node would have held? There was no order given that suggested to me any intent to crash a node. We wanted to get in there, and we did. We expected it would lag to hell and there was a real possibility of a node crash. We did not want this and did not facilitate it.
Ignoring eve, it is a natural human reactor to seek outside blame or denial during a loss. Football is a great example: The ref was *****. Same in EVE, but with the added bonus of the security blanket that is the internet to hide our emotions behind.
