This is so ****** up. CCP is must be the worst MMO producer on this planet. I dont care about the losses or the kills, it should have been a real great battle.
New tactic arrives, put 600-700 friendly in a system and no one can take it over....
Honesty..CCP stop trying, cause you wont get this game to work ever...
C&C ftw!

such battles will be lag free when ( everyone has quantum computers and .... youre looking at 10MB - 50MB internet connections with very low ping rates as well)
few years off yet i think. Hats off for CCP at least keeping it running instead of a massive node crash that said the titan issue has brought this on youre urge to bring in the supercapitals and their lame industructible under normal gameplay circumstances all for some publicity has backfired, player number growth has stalled.

Everyone complains about the lag but knew it would happen. This battle involved more players than any i have ever heard of in my 3yrs playing eve. My question is if we knew all these players would have been involved then surely anyone with half a brain would realise the lag was imminent.
With regards to the 700 player limit in the system, CCP should never inform either side of such information because it would just be used against the opposing forces i.e. fill the system with 700 players before opposing forces even arrive.
I personally was involved and lagged 2 jumps out from our destination system and there is where my evening ended.
BoB did an amazing job even though they lost the pos and again have proven their ability at pvp is unrivaled in EVE.
I would like to say one thing to the coalition forces though. Surely if you were better at playing the game you wouldn't need so many pilots in the first place ? One good thing about this game is in such situations, turning up with numbers is not beneficial to the battle therefore skill-less alliances such as goonswarm suffer because of their inabilities.
I also keep reading about people saying they are not bothered about all the capital ship losses. You have to be joking right ? You kill 15 LV dreads and there is loads of posts about it but lose 57 capital ships and you don't care ? Well we will see how many turn up to the next similar battle then won't we. This might not be alot to an alliance in terms of losses but to a single pilot losing a dread is quite a big thing. i can't see the coalition attempting anything like this again any time soon and if they do, taking losses like that only reduces their ability at defending their own space when BoB comes to take it, let alone have any offensive ability 
Well done to all though for creating such a historic event look forward to maybe being involved in one again soon where i acyually get to shoot someone. Also a special well done to all the pro-BoB forces for showing the coalition how to kill a capital fleet and not making 100 posts about it.

Titan minerals, if bought, only total about 50billion, and if RKK was building a titan, that bpo would be in a station right now, they wouldn't have let it slip away.
^ Hypothetical.
36 dreads destroyed and 3 carriers.
and remember it's not 1 alliance called "The Coalition" that lost 39 capitals, it's 7 alliances, each with their industry and their isk 
So what? It's the BoB Coalition figthing against "The Coalition", next time there is such a battle the coalition will have 40 less dreads to field...
What will be next? "We didn't want those dreads anyway"? Getting sick of this hypocrisy...
So what? next time there is such a battle the coalition will have 40 new bought on market dreads

Thats very typical BoD:
Limiting the numbers of players inside the system to (all-bob-ship plus 50) so the outcome is pretty clear. And to make sure it is a surprise they don't inform anyone except Bob.
Well, at least I expect a 100% reimbusement rate coz of Lag-Kill, otherwise I expect some more GMs cleaning their desk at CCP for not being neutral. Not.

I just would like to add that the limit of 700 in a system really has to be checked again.
Does this means that if we put 699 pilots flying shuttles and one guy flying a osprey you can sucessfully defend a pos coming out of reinforced mode against a force of capital ships ?

colation would have enough dread + capital building capacity to replace any losses they lost 27 capital ships last week over the course of a few hours and this week turn up with another 60+
The standard bob fleet consists of about 100 odd.
Remember tho that bob in number terms has less support industrial capacity than the other side. If these battles do continue ( remember RA popped 7 of em) if red alliance really rachet up the pressure along with the coalation. taking away the fact they want their ISK producing plexes only any further aggression seems limited.
Then bob might loose a lot more, if RA stay quite the remaining forces are going to need some new friends.

all the ISK talking is bull****. its very simple: If there was a Titan in build the lose of 40 caps was worth it. If not.. well i hope there was one. Even if the loss/gain ratio ISK wise is 3:1 agains the Coalition.. a 3rd Titan for BoB would be such a HUGE advantage on the future battlefields .. maybe even an advantage wich can never again be reversed. If u ever fought against a Titan you know the omnipresent threat a single one Titan on the battlefield inflicts. Now imagine what 3 Titans can do. Was it worth ? for me yes.. Was it fun ? no not at all.. Will i be there again if my Alliance call ? FOR SURE. Should BoB post a statement? No.. if they say there was a baby titan. The eve comunity will point on BoB and say: ahahaha If they say there was nothing buildet .. or maybe "just" a dread or so, everyone(not bob+friends) will say BoB lies. So maybe BoB have the balls and gives the Coalition a clue if there was one or not with the plea not to pubish any intel.. not even to the coalition footfolk. At the end its just a game we all want to have fun with or not ?.

Edited by: Fred0 on 30/03/2007 12:08:35 Well we went in with one goal. That no matter what that pos was going to go down. We achieved that goal. BOB's goal in this op seemed to have to keep the pos alive judging from how they set up carriers to continously remote rep it etc.
Anyways, that's my take on it. If nothing else they now knows the tactic they deployed yesterday does not work against the cap blitz we used, atleast it doesn't work in the sense of saving the pos. Next time I'm sure they'll try something different or make a better job of it.
Oh and the cheery on top here is that if we killed a RKK baby titan it was a 2 day job well executed to annihilate a long and pretty well documented struggle of theirs to get a titan of their own. :)

And hopefully BoB won't be fielding another titan. Don't lose sight of why that POS was attacked. Whether or not there actually was a titan being built, the coalition decided the risk was worth taking.

There'll be many more. 2/3 (120ish) of our cap people never loaded in the system but are likely to be killed when they log on tonight or so to get out.

Good OP. Bad forum trolls.
I used to be part of the north-napfest and i didnt think the pilots there where all to bad, but having read the posts they post it makes me wonder....
what will happen if bob loses and the coalition wins, who will take the south? what will the coalition do turn on itself? i'm less thinking about now more wondering about the future.
i have respect for the OP for having a non bias opinion very rare these days. although i'm not unbiased my views are that im gonna stop reading the reply's as 65% are B.S and not worth the time to find the 35% good posts.
This is not the views of my corp, my alliance or anyone but myself. do not bother replying to my post as i wont read your reply's

Don't underestimate the coalition's ability to replace their losses. I think it speaks volumes about their desire to see the end of BOB and their strength that they proceeded knowing full well they would get slaughtered in the process. Another BOB titan on the battlefield would not make our job any easier :)

Congratulations on a job well done.
Two things i want to add:
1) It did suck quite a lot that I couldn't even get anywhere near the target system and spent several hours flying around querious / delve stuck in various jump queues and lagged gates. Maybe ccp can't organise the game to be able to handle a situation like this, I don't know but I'm not going to insult them.
2) The post from Blacklight about the deterioration of the community and the various agreements from LV and 'others' is quite simply laughable.
Feelings run quite high when it comes to BOB. Some of your 'history' has led ppl to see you as more than merely an opponent in an online game.
Are you really that surprised that ppl are so filled with emotion that they flame / insult etc.. Look at what your alliance has done to players, both within and without the rules: All that lying (won't go into detail but can expand upon if required) and 'possible' cheating, not to mention the arrogance everyone knows you feel because of your military victories and used to d*****brazenly all over the forums.
Is it really any wonder at the backlash??

What's the difference? It doesn't mater what was being built there, we were to kill POS, bringing the fleets of 7 alliances togeher. And we did it.

pfft a "rumor" is an overstatement... it was more of a hunch. I remember somebody was like "Hey, BoB pos here". Everyone else was like "pffft lets WTFBBQ it"

I have to agree, I think this shows a large step forward in the war. There have been a few minor setbacks, but now it seems the war is in full swing.

Doesn't anyone find it strange that up to date, there is no official BoB statement on this? No, they don't care... hell they don't, they must be crushing their teeth over this, but they still continue to play their mind game.
Btw, everyone has information and facts. I believe it, many of us believe it, but you wish we didn't so our morale drops.
Oh, still waiting for the Molle post.

You have no idea what our intel was and you are not ever likely to find out because we try and protect our friends as good as we can.
