To start, gather 50-100+ dreadnoughts and attack a pos, it's going to go down and there is nothing the defenders can do about it. A dreadnought fleet of this size even if piloted by monkeys would be able to take down it's target. You simply warp or jump in, turn on your siege mode, turn on your repairers, lock the pos and start firing, then you twiddle your fingers (or eat some bananas, swing from some vines etc, i'm getting a funny mental image of monkeys swinging on vines with bananas in their hands, in a room full of computers) until the pos is dead. That's all there is to it.

We all knew that pos was going to die, there could have been no other outcome, pick any pos in EVE that is coming out of reinforced mode and attack it with that many Dreadnoughts and no amount of defenders will be able to keep it alive, it's going to die, end of story.

I hear they lost up to 50 capital ships whilst bob lost none atall, that doesn't seem like a victory to me, especially if there was no titan in building, even if there was, bob still come out on top in terms of isk vs losses. However you could say a 3rd titan would have been a nice little extra advantage for BoB so that's the only thing that really could make the loss of 50 capital ships even slightly worthwhile.

The coalition stacked their chances of achieving victory to 100% by using as many dreads as they did.

I am seeing some people claim that BoB didn't want the pos to die, so there must have been something good inside building? How do you know this? If i can figure out that keeping the pos alive is impossible against such a large number of Dreadnoughts, then i'm sure the minds behind BoB figured it out aswell. They took full advantage of the situation and caused as much damage as they could, the largest number of capitals ever destroyed in a single fight in the history of EVE, by far.
