From what I heard the pos is about to go down, but so are a huge number of hostile dreads (hostile to me that is).
And the lag is horrible. I was trying to make a sniping BM 180km from a gate, but when I got to 180 I could not stop my snip, nor make a BM. I just kept going. At 500km from the gate, I could still not stop my ship, at which point I tried relogging and has yet to get back in.
Lag wins again :(

I think its safe to say that we lost less isk than the atackers did (especially if you include the fitting on the killed capital ships), although the final result will have to wait until someone does a count on the killboards.
And I am sure that CCP wont reimburse anyone in this fight. Cause if they do, they have to reimburse everyone and that would include the pos as well.

If we should compare ISK lost, you also need to consider the fitting and who gets the loot after the fight.
If 50 capital ships goes down, and they each have 500mil of equippment, and 50% of that equipment survived, thats 25B lost for one side and 12.5B gained for the side that looted the wrecks.
I think its pretty clear by now who lost most ISK.

If our support fleet managed to reach ft-e it was a very different fight.... I wish one day we will be able do play large-scale fleet battles but today it's nearly impossible :\
Well neither LV support nor the AXE/PANIC/CRII/XS/Fountain gang reached F-T or whatever the sys is.
I can confirm that, we had 100 people in the system next door, and the lag was so bad we could not even make new safespots to warp to. All in all, there where over 400 people in that system (some where hostiles though).
But if you tried to reach ft- instead of f-t, I can understand your frustration

The 700 cap is old, and was not something the GM set specifically for this fight. Its even mentioned in a dev blog.
And we lost our main system because our attacked crached the node. This time lag worked in our favour.

attackers went for same tactic as when attacking LV space: outnumber the defenders. Node crashes. U stay on the edge of the crashed node and jump in when crashed node gets up. Jumpins have higher priority of loading into system then logins into system.
IN this tactic doesnt matter how many numbers defenders had, beacuse coalition was counting on node crash and their higher priority when jumping into system..
Yea, this tactis seem to be popular nowdays. Its lame and pathetic, but there is no defence against it. I hope CCP does something to stop this from being used in the future, or else 20 dreads and 1000 shuttles can kill any pos, no matter how well defended.

We are no more BoB pets than AAA are D2 pets. This whote "pet" business is nothing but bs anyway, and its only used for immature progaranda.
BoB are our allies: we helpt them and they help us. Just the same way that RAZOR helps D2 and D2 helps RAZOR.
And for those of you who has been around or a while, you know that many in LV and BoB once where in the same alliance called Five. So the fact that we work together is only natural.
A much more interesting question is: how can an allianes like D2 work with Goon and RA?

Politics have nothing to do with personal grudges. At least Goons, RA, D2 and RZR aren't tagged as backstabber by the rest of the universe.
Anybody remember the easter egg hunt last year? How can FIX be BoB's allies?
Anybody remember the EC episode? Who can Axiom be on BoB's side now?
Your logic doesn't stand up mate.
Sure it does, you just dont undertand it. My point is that LV and BoB has lots in common (we are neighbours, many of us once where in the same alliance, our former alliances also where friends, etc).
But what have D2 and goon in common? Or D2 and RA?
You need more than a common enemy to form a functional partnership, and time will show this to be true for the so called coalition, mark my words.

After 2 years of EVE with countless battles, I have learnt that the ones who whines most after the battle are usually the ones who lost
Anyway, it was a gf from both sides, and it was fun in a very unfun (!?) way.
This talk about GM interference and cheating is getting a little old though. I remember we used to accuse Five of that when i was F-E, and they accused us of it.
