So let's get this straight then.

SF's primary objective in this war is to get CVA to retract their declaration.

Should CVA hurt SF so much that the anarchists only have two pilots remaining, based outside the Empire (and as such, about as effective as asthmatic ants carrying heavy shopping bags uphill when it comes to destroying the Empire) what would happen then?

No doubt CVA would feel that their job would be done, retract the war and at this point SF would declare a historic victory! Only in the SF can a victory be claimed after a crushing defeat!

Or a better "What IF?!??!" question would be:

What if purple time traveling fedos took over a factory and produced tech10 mining lasers that could beam trit straight through the walls of a station and mined all veld rocks simultaneously? Then what if that pile of trit was so perfect that even the Emporor declares it holy and orders all combat activities that might endanger the pile to be stopped? Would you consider that a defeat at the hands of SF or would you make more "what if" questions with very little basis in reality?

If you guys need projectile ammo, ask Rocius or Masim. We have tons stored in our corp hangars, and I imagine we'd give you a good discount.

Mr. Bliss, you've fought in the vicinity of Star Fraction pilots. Do you honestly believe that "if the CVA can't make us leave Amarr, we win" is something we actually believe?

If you were as diligent in your defense of Amarr Prime as you are at scrabbling about, looking for minute contradictions in statements made by individual Star Fraction members, I would almost be worried about our chances of success in this campaign.

Perhaps you would be happier in a position at the Imperial Academy making a career lecturing and writing endless papers predicting the "inevitable victory" of the Empire. Perhaps they'll even force a portion of students to listen to you rant. Won't that be nice?

"Shock horror SF attack wings in choosing the odds of their favour outrage"

I think you loyalists are going to need to learn the art of "bait and trap" as well as we've had to learn it. Offer us a nice target and keep your reserves hidden. You'll be amazed at how that leads to fleet battles. While sitting with 3x the firepower of an enemy force on a gate in plain sight is not going to get you decisive fights no matter how much you might desire it.

And lets face it - we wait 1 hour, your forces disappear - are we then supposed to boast about how your remainder remain docked for the rest of the evening refusing to undock into our superior forces? Or maybe just maybe we begin to accept that both sides aren't stupid and this war is going to involve a lot of dancing and positioning and waiting for the ideal moments while balance of power is varying radically across the timezones. Still plenty of time for this, the war is only just beginning.
