To be honest,

who has "won" this "fight" is moot, both sides can replace their losses easily, the actual damage done to either side is not enough to make any of the groups worry.

The main problem as i see it is the following : Both sides have proven they can bring ~1000 people to an important operation. That is then 2000 people trying to play a game, a game that due to technical restrictions cannot provide the environment for said 2000 people.
And this will happen again, whenever either side attacks an important asset of the oposing faction the numbers will be well in the 1000s again causing the game to become unplayable and players getting frustrated.
It is noones fault, not the defenders fault for populating the systems well before the attackers, not the attackers fault for bringing 500 people in T1 frigates, everyone that pays to play the game whether he has 55m SP or 2m SP has all rights to show up at those fights and fight.

I do however think that this is what this war will bring in the immediate future, alot more of those "epic fights" that in the end prove to be a slideshow with unlimited waiting times.
Is this what either side wants ? I doubt it, but i also know there is no other feasable way to fight in this war than to bring all you got, so both sides will keep bringing all they have and then some more.

I personally can imagine better things to do with 7hours than staring at stargates and shooting at enemies that possibly never knew i was actually hitting them since their client long stalled. Will i be there again ? Ofc. Will i enjoy it ? Ofc not .

And this is the only thing that leaves a sour taste when thinking of last night, it is a game , we are all supposed to enjoy these aspects of the game and im pretty sure not many enjoyed last night.
