Edited by: Pilk on 03/05/2007 05:34:44 Several days ago, MC and -Y- took control of C4C-Z4 and its station, along with L-C307. In total, D2 spammed over a dozen POS's over the course of the last two days.
MC HC set aside a day to take them out. These are the "D2 Special" POSes--14 hardeners. With twenty to thirty dreads, you're lucky to get them to reinforced in three siege cycles. Early today, the long grind began.
POS after POS succumbed to the combined might of horrifically-bored siege-mode dreads' capital weapons and horrifically-bored carriers' sentry drones. The only winners in this stage were the ice miners. Stront timers were all over the place--barely a day here, well over two days there. D2 showed little coordination.
At one point, a couple dozen BS warped in, supported by a dozen or so lighter ships. A bit of confusion resulted in mix-ups on TS. The FC then asked our friendly local Titan how his Doomsday activation worked out. He was downcast, reporting kills of only a battlecruiser or two.
Shortly thereafter, a single AXE carrier was a bit slow to align to warp to the next POS. Suddenly, a large, light D2 force showed up and began scrambling and attacking it as they warped in heavier ships. More and more D2 arrived, and motherships were called in to assist the carrier as damps began to take hold and he lost the ability to defend himself. Suddenly--a white light! Dozens of ceptors and cruisers popped, and a number of BS. TS is abuzz. Did D2 doomsday themselves again?
Chowdown: "Oops, I lied." Seleene: "Oh, by the way, hi to our TeamSpeak spy!"
Fast-forward several hours. The combined allied fleet assembled in C4C-Z4 and began killing more D2 POS's. And then it got interesting....

Tonight has been one fun event after another. I'm too damn tired to write everything up, but the last fight was the best.
Tonight while destroying a D2 POS in C4C the MC/-Y-/Axe capital gang was jumped on by a larger D2/Sparta/FLA capital fleet. We've been waiting on this, we saw it coming when they undocked in RIOR... so we ran an extra cycle of siege to see what would happen. Then the cyno lit up and it was on! 
We lost 4 Dreads.
The North lost 13 Dreads & 4 Carriers.
I honestly do not know everything that happened other than our guys did exactly as they were told and TS was as quiet as a graveyard during the fight. We did not have a Titan of any type present for the final fight. Janus Drake showed up and DD'd God only knows how many fighters and drones on both sides.
Killboards are currently all over the place. A proper bat retlep to follow from Pilk (above) about all of the events of the last 12 hours or so. I must now pass out.  -

What I dont understand is if I read this correct, MC, Y, Axe have been attacking POS's all day long. So its not like D2 didnt already know what they had. D2 is larger than all those alliances put together, then add on Sparta and Freelancer how is it they didnt get a much larger capital fleet together and due this properly instead of jumping in and losing 17 capital ships.

They DID have a much larger capital fleet. And Iron were there too. And D2 had the only Titan on the field which was used very effectively and took out lots and lots of fighters. And they had a support fleet four or more times our size. The major mistake they made was calling me primary. Once I was down and had warped out someone competent was able to take over. Ha! They didn't expect THAT!

How can you say you fought outnumbered when you killed all 17 of d2 and co capitals, but show on the killmails over 20 MC and co capitals kill the capitals. I heard there were at least 24 MC and co capitals there to take on the 17 D2 and co ones, so why did you post you were outnumbered?

Youde have to see a KB compilation for the complete stats, but while we only killed 17 of their capitals, they brought many more of those to the field. Many tried to jump out, and escaped.

Not sure on the final numbers, tbh. When they undocked in ROIR, we were outnumbered, so we docked for ten minutes or so while we arranged for reinforcements in cyno range. For the actual fight, we may or may not have had the upper hand, numbers-wise, but when they started jumping out, they sealed their own fate.

No capitals on the d2 side cynoed out, their entire fleet was destroyed by a much larger MC capital fleet. It is a shame, I have many good friends in d2 and sparta who lost dreads.

I'm willing to believe that I somehow misinterpreted the jump effects going off on my screen. I'm pretty darn sure that I had a carrier scrambled who ran out of range and then jumped out, but it's possible I've lost my mind and nothing of the sort happened.
But I'm not willing to concede this "MUCH LARGER" (in bold, no less!) business. The fleets were approximately even at the start. Certainly nothing like a 2-to-1 advantage, which is what I think of when someone reaches for the [b] tag. We might have even been a slight underdog--certainly, they had a Titan and we didn't, which kind of makes things uneven NOT in our favor, I'd think.
Please double-check your facts and get back to me. Or present some hard numbers. (As I said, killboards are still recovering from the shock on our end, perhaps your killboard admin is online?)

Well #'s are simple. You guys killed 17 capitals, none cynoed out. If you check killmails, 24 different MC and company capitals shot and killed the 17 enemy capitals. So right off the bat, just via who was included on killmails you see the larger amount. I bolded the fact that MC had more capitals because it is true, and it is a shame MC posted they were fighting against a larger fleet when in fact it was not true.

We were jumped by a larger fleet. We then called in our reinforcements, which might have swung the numbers war back in our favor, I'm honestly not sure. Regardless, they had a Titan, and we didn't, so they were winning in the "tonnage" category.
And I'm certain at least one of the enemy caps cyno'd out. Give me a few moments and I'll get you a name or two.

Silly Pilk, he's saying the 17 that died didn't cyno out. And he's 100% right. I've bolded "he's saying" and "didn't cyno" because they're also true, not because they're MORE true than anything else in the sentence. Stop reading into everything too much :P -----

To say you were jumped by a larger capital group, when your had half of your capitals which outnumber the enemy group are ready to warp to POS is not an accurate assetment. You baited the D2 capitals in, and brought your remaining fleet in for the kill. Good strategy, but at no point should you guys act like having 7 more capitals is not a distinct advantage, especially since a Titan cannot even hurt a capital.

They had more capitals than the number we killed. THEY HAD MORE CAPITALS THAN THE NUMBER WE KILLED.
Oh, wait, bold.
THEY HAD MORE CAPITALS THAN THE NUMBER WE KILLED.
This is because some of them cyno'd out.

Ok, direct from D2, they said their entire capital fleet got wiped out. IE NO ONE CYNOED OUT. I know all of Spartas were killed as well. There is a small chance an IRON capital cynoed out if they were there, but essentially the entire fleet of capitals died.

It doesn't really, but it sounds like in the report that you fought against heavy odds and through pure skillz 'n stuff came out on top, you know, the "This is Sparta" way.
Also, in my naive world I actually thought that MC relied on their own skills and teamwork, not on TS spies. This is not meant as a flame, but that has been my view on you guys. But I guess in todays warfare, everybody uses it.
Anyway, nice to see some action going on up there.

Did you misread the OP?
The spy was on the MC TS and reporting back to enemy.

I know 5 of the D2 dreads got lagged out of game after the DD blast, and the rest of the fleet had a minute of nothing before game came back. Not sure if MC was affected as badly, it was when d2 lost the 5 dreads to the lag when the battle turned over to the MC side.
As I said, a nice rather lagless fight.

Really dude, why do you bother? We all know your BoB history and every time you post on these forums all you do is spitting all over the place and acting like many of the BoB members before the forum silence.
It seems you're still on BoB's side. They chose forum silence. You want to do them a favor? Start behaving like they do, but until that we have here the raw BoB member at its best forum whoring.
It was a nice fight with losers and winners. Some have facts to discuss and share, but all you do is barking...

Sounds to me like you were out numbered but you really weren't. Then it sounds like MC had a lag free fight, which it wasn't for many.

Do you dont have something else then "didnt want it anyway" thing, its gettin anoying and boirng, in every thread you turn up with that sentence. Just get something else or go mine in bob space.
D2 is at least doing something, hopefully this time they learn from it. At least those caps had better fitting then some of the Caps they killed a week or so ago.

1) Pilk says "we" as if Axe did any of the work.
2) This is why MC look like lapdogs to me, they call themselves "mercenaries" but all they do is the bidding of 1 alliance. They're so busy doing it they're not even accepting contracts anymore.

God... it's pretty damn disappointing you people dont see what MC are doing. They are working for BoB at the moment, they have their hands full and can't handle anything more at the moment. And I bet they are being paid well for it.
Even though MC is a mercenary group it doesn't mean they cant be friendly to someone and not accept contracts against them. On the other hand I'm pretty sure if you give em the right price they might even go after BoB. I'm also pretty sure that once this war is over, MC will again accept contracts from whoever.. however again it might cost a huge amount to get them to go after BoB, since no matter how you look at it, it's not worth it for them to lose their space unless they get paid pretty freaking well.
On the topic, great work MC and friends. Also.. people say we (meaning the alliance) as it is allways a group effort. If D2 had attacked before there would be alot of caps from yw and others. It just happens to be that on that moment MC was the main force working in the area. |

Originally by: GreatNick How can you say you fought outnumbered when you killed all 17 of d2 and co capitals, but show on the killmails over 20 MC and co capitals kill the capitals. I heard there were at least 24 MC and co capitals there to take on the 17 D2 and co ones, so why did you post you were outnumbered?
Something about there being circa 120 in local during the fight, and after D2 retreated, there were 40.
It is however possible that I failed math and 40 > 80
We, simply put, did not have a support fleet. We had a handful of ceptors with fighters watching the gate, 2 motherships and some carriers, and under a dozen BS's.
And several D2 capitals did cyno out. I watched SigmaPod cyno out as did pilk, as i exploded in a fireball of glory at the hands of a rapier During the fight I saw at least 3 outbound cynos with little red squares at the center disappearing, didn't bother getting an exact count nor names as I was a tad preoccupied with not dying for as long as possible.
Now if you want to sit there and argue who had what based on what you heard as a D2 pet (that's right... I went there) with "contacts," well, knock yourself out, I'm sure no amount of first hand accounts from the other side will convince you to the contrary.

I don't know the meaning that you give to "troll", but it has exactly zero to do with what I do or RZR does. Check the killmails on those MC dreads than got destroyed. You'll discover a bitting dog. Ha-ha. I wasn't there, I couldn't, but RZR was. Gratz to them for being there for a friend in need.
Btw, you really have some nerve to talk to someone else about trolling, considering what you do. Grow some and log your main when posting in here.

Thanks to D2&co for do something more than POS spam, thats really boring guys! keep the effort to make this war interesting!
I was in the operations, most of the support fleet became exhausted after so many hours of POS KIlling, so i lost my chance to be in that final big battle!
That's the way we will follow until the end, fight, fight, and fight until the last ship we have to destroy you guys :) (D2&co).
Keep the good work!

It seems a lot of people here know about this who weren't there. 
On "the Lag" - as soon as the fight was finished and we cleared up our losses, I asked about lag. A couple of our guys had to relog in the fight but no one reported anything at all crippling. I was running a mothership and a dread for the entire fight and my module lag was virtually non-existent. One of our guys was running three accounts in the system plus a fourth as an emergency cyno out mid-way through and he was fine as well.
A few have said that when the DD went off from Janus Drake that things started going bad for D2 and friends due to lag. That DD went off early in the battle and I just thought the bright flash was another cap ship exploding. The only reason I knew it was a DD was because I had to launch more fighters. 
They outnumbered us in every respect. They had significantly more dreads and a much much larger support fleet. My 'Dreads & Carriers' overview setting was pretty damn sobering. My 'BS & Larger' setting had my "Oh ****!" sensor blinking.
They had a titan and they used it. It is debatable if Janus DD'd too early or not but when it went off it cleared the field of dozens of fighters and drones from both sides. Oh and, near as I can tell, once again Janus set his DD off on grid with none of that 'remote' stuff. 
Local peaked on my screen at 142. About five minutes after the last ship exploded and we started cynoing out our dreads leaving siege, local was around 50.
Call it luck, skill or a cosmic burp of fate, we should of got spanked and we didn't. It takes serious balls to jump in on an enemy cap ship fleet and hit that siege button. It takes an equal amount of balls to leave that button alone and stay in siege when your overview is solid red.
Instead of all the outside opinions, I'd love to see a write up from the other side describing what their thoughts were going into it, during and afterwards. Local was smack-free and actually very pleasant. This kind of fight doesn't happen often and those of us who were there have massive respect to anyone who participated. Thanks for a memorable, if sleepless, night D2 and friends.  -

Once again Selene you missed the point. You did not fight undernumbered, you had more capitals attacking than D2 and company. And local did not spike till the battle was nearly over the D2's support gang arrived 10 minutes late. I really could care less about D2 at this point, that is why I left the north, but at least get your numbers right in regards to the amount of capitals you used.

My numbers are fine, m8. AFAIK, we jumped in two motherships and one carrier right as the fight began and an additional four carriers and two dreads about two-thirds of the way through. Of course it's possible that we ended up with more of a certain ship type near the end.
My side can estimate and post all day about this, but I am sure that most of us would like to see one of the D2 FC's who was there speak up and clarify things. What cap ships did they jump in with? What did they have left when the fight was over? Who was their support commander and what did they bring? What was their original plan? Was this a spur of the moment op or something alarm clocks were set for?

lol at all you guys argueing about who had more numbers, next to the fact that it doesnt really matters all you d have to do is take a look at for example D2's killboard. But to save you all that work i put my my nber maths skills to work and added them up 
D2/IRON/RZR/Sparta: 1 Titan, 12 DNs, 5 CAs (and some small stuff) AXE/MC/Y: 2 MS, 15 DNs, 9 CAs The total involved numbers say 32:33 which looks pretty even :P
I guess some ppl might be missing due to truncated mails, etc ... but it cant be that far off

Originally by: from Someone who was there
We all fought very hard and thanks to everyone who came. The Numbers were even...
After the DD by our Titan. 6 dreads locked up to where they never got a rep in! Until then we had the advanatage. All of there Phenoix's were down and Nag's They had no close range damage left. We had the upper hand. 3 Phoenix and 2 Moros never repped. Those were blaster moros and Caldari Dreads. We were 10K from them. If we were aloud to turn on our gun's I bet about 2 to three more mabye if the whole fleet might have gone down. Stuff happens and it is just a game. Guess what I think we all had fun again tongiht.
Hope that clears thing up a bit for you...some lag some uresponsive ships, but generally a feeling of good fight.

D2 alone had 12 dreads - we knew about this group, it was the sparta/FLA group who we did not know about they were fielding at least 18-20 dreads, if nothing else your maths is concerning as you state 12 dreads on the coalition side when 13 were killed...i'm not really sure how you reached that figure. As for out numbers when the engagement started we had 12 dreads.

I just want to say that good work for everyone :)
For YouWhat and MC guys to have the patience for a boring kill spam pos operation :) and then have brilliant commanders and tactics to surprise our enemies.
And for D2 and co for being brave to make something different to a pos spam that is really boring and kills the game in my opinion.
I was in the that operation as a support bs and it was so boring but when we heared that first DD's trap was so great :) I felt asleep finally and go to sleep so I lost the chance to see that big final battle!
Keep the good work guys! We will fight until the end and the last of our ships :)

D2/IRON/RZR/Sparta: 1 Titan, 12 DNs, 5 CAs (and some small stuff) AXE/MC/Y: 2 MS, 15 DNs, 9 CAs The total involved numbers say 32:33 which looks pretty even :P
I guess some ppl might be missing due to truncated mails, etc ... but it cant be that far off
Glad you took the time to show the numbers, 17 capitals all of which were lost by D2 and the 26 capitals of MC and company.

I guess the biggest lesson out of all of this is let your capitals get their mods on before Lagsday bombing the enemy fighters.
Really sucks losing ships because you couldn't turn mods on.

Originally by: GreatNick Once again Selene you missed the point. You did not fight undernumbered, you had more capitals attacking than D2 and company. And local did not spike till the battle was nearly over the D2's support gang arrived 10 minutes late. I really could care less about D2 at this point, that is why I left the north, but at least get your numbers right in regards to the amount of capitals you used.
You have no point.

Please read up, coalition lost more ships (as in confirmed killmails) than was stated as their fleet here. Maths appears to have gone somewhat wrong :) - dont trust killboards for accuracy :)

that said, entertaining read .. 
D2 alone had 12 dreads - we knew about this group, it was the sparta/FLA group who we did not know about they were fielding at least 18-20 dreads, if nothing else your maths is concerning as you state 12 dreads on the coalition side when 13 were killed...i'm not really sure how you reached that figure. As for out numbers when the engagement started we had 12 dreads.
Sparta/FLA did not field 18-20 dreads....lol....I know because I had to leave due to gf aggro.
Beyond that...and not trying to flame...after looking at the killboard, and I know 2 of ours aren't posted yet, it looks like MC and friends had more firepower according to our KB:
d2 & friends: 12 dreads shown (pretty sure 13 went down though) 5 carriers shown (give or take 1-2) and the titan
MC & friends: 15 dreads shown 9 carriers and 2 moms
------------------------------- I can say the Sparta numbers are exactly whats shown on our killboard minus 2 dread losses that haven't got posted yet (no idea why). FLA brought 1 dread only and that I am 99% sure of as I chatted with the guy after words.
Our support fleet had no losses as you were concentrating on the cap fleet (rightly so). With our support fleet we def. should have killed more caps......dunno there. Lag wasn't horrible but I know a few dreads couldn't do anything after the DD but not a majority of them.
So congrats to MC. Was a goodfight and we should have killed more. Let's do it again in about 10 days .
If there are any innacuracies that you can prove in my post mail me and it will get changed...otherwise don't flame and don't post if you don't have any clue.

Edited by: Darth Sith on 03/05/2007 14:15:37 First, As commander of the Spartan forces in theater, I offer a GF to all parties involved! That was a great slugfest with a crystal clear local channel. Thankyou for the memorable end to a rather ordinary day :)
Seleene - nothing but respect for you and your crew, once again you showed professionalism on the field and an the nads to jump whatever is nessesary onto the battlefield! And quite honestly I really couldn't care less if you are in the war on a contract or by your accord :)
D2 / FLA / SPR / IRON US TZ crew - props to you, my teammates that had the nads to hit the jummp button to start this adventure :)
As any who have read my posts in the past, I just lay it out plain and simple without the political FUD.
This is the way it shaped up ..
Just after logging on I got the call that there was an opportunity to take a poke at MC. We formed up in ROIR and waited ...
Our eyes on the tower showed the MC dread fleet approach the tower and we undocked the dreads .. a moment later the MC capitals left the tower .. we thought the cat was out of the bag and we began an idle chatter on the ts .. some of our dread pilots logged or got wife-aggro'd and we figured the night was done ..
Then they came back .. TS buzzed .. guys this might happen .. but they are not in siege mode ! .. we wait .. they in siege yet ? .. no .. not yet ? ... no .. wtf ? .. then Janus comes on and says . dudes .. the tower is almost through the armour .. they must be in siege .. undock .. lets give it a shot .. :)
Been seeing all kinds of numbers .. the real story is that there were 11 - 12 dreads / 5- 6 carriers / 1 titan on our side .. 6 of the dreads spartan, 1 FLA , 5 D2 if my memory serves me right .. jumping into what initially was reported to us as 11 dread, 1 MS ..
Lag: .. I had no problems at all with lag, but yes when the DD went off, several of the D2 pilots reported unresponsive systems ... such is the way the dice roll in eve :) .. not worth dwelling on ..
After jumping in we started on the target list.. the first 2 went down fine .. started chewing on the 3rd when the fighter cloud appeared :) .. Janus was gonna clear them out but must have been drinking too much caffine cause he hit the trigger a little early (still luv yah man :) ) .. boom .. fighters really should get a KM .. cause a lot of them died :) .. Then I looked at my overview and it was like .. 'guys .. i am seeing a whole lot more big red square thingies on my capital overview ! " .. around the same time the D2 guys were calling out that they were non responsive ..
As a result of our losses and may lag on the d2 guys .. who knows .. took a while to chew the third .. when we came out of siege ..
I asked the question .. "we gonna do this ? ... " ... answer back was yup .. so i smacked the siege button again and rode that flaming horse right down to the river styx :) I took some comfort in knowing that I would at least see a GF on the forums and we wouldn't be called candyasses for jumping out :)
Dam fun fight guys .. we're definately keeping the capital and fighter builders busy these days :)
See you on the battlefield !

I want to add a quick note to this post...
I was there (and left when ordered to jump out).
On the point of the post DD issues.
We were told to recall fighters prior to the DD. Once the DD was done it took over a full minute for me to relaunch fighters and have them engage again due to lag related issues.
I run with no effects and no sound. A single client on system with _only_ TS running besides that. Do I think we had lag issues? Yes. I'm not whining (my carrier survived), just posting what happened to some of us post DD.
GF by all and to D2/FLA/SPR/IRON US TZ crew - props to you... oh, and to the RZR folk that tend to have been neglected in this thread! It was good to fly with our allies!
Thanks for all the fun!
BTW - blah, blah, blah My comments/ideas are mine blah, blah, blah not those of my corp/alliance. I'll probably get flogged for posting.

Dude, your numbers have been shot to hell and back. Perhaps the issue is simply clarity. A few from our side have admitted that it is entirely possible that we out-numbered at the end due to our backup arriving, but I sincerely doubt that the north is dumb enough to jump into an outnumbered capital fight with the people who had a large hand in pioneering capital fighting. They thought they had the trap, but it was the other way around.
Your credibility is blown by two main factors. 1) Providence is a LONG way from Fade. 2) Your "sources" say no coalition ships jumped out, yet at least two RZR carriers jumped out, one by his own admission, according to his orders. Perhaps there is a communication error on your end?
I have great respect for NOS from back in my ISS days. Please stop using their good name to spout your fanboy propaganda. If you want to fight, I believe FLA put out an open call for support. They seem like decent people, look them up, but fight it in the game, not on the forum.

IF you actually read, I said D2 and Sparta did not get ships cynoed out, and I said I was unclear about the other people there. And why don't you check the dreads MC lost to see if there was anyone attacking them who were not also later killed. Once you have done so, feel free to name the dozen guys who cynoed out. I would really like you to pull some real facts, you can flame me all you want, but the kills won't lie.

Go check the killmails yourself, youll see more than a singular pilot who got out with his cap.

Originally by: GreatNick If you check killmails, 24 different MC and company capitals shot and killed the 17 enemy capitals.
You cant even get your own numbers to match, yet you question others?
If you do what youve suggested others do, and check the killmails, youll also note more than 17

Edited by: GreatNick on 03/05/2007 15:34:33 Ok, just for an example on one kill of a MC dread, there were a total of 17 ships on it, and the POS. Of those 17 ships, 8 of them were from d2, and all 8 of those capitals were killed. Six of the capitals were from Sparta, and by checking sparta killboard, all of them were destroyed. Three of the ships were from Razor, from their killboard they are showing no losses posted and I have said I had no info on anyone but D2 and Sparta. There were also 2 IRON capitals, 1 of which was posted as destroyed. This was for the kill of Flying Scotsman's Phoenix, which was the first MC capital killed, and was before the DD went off. The killmail for Goosemen has the same 17 players, plus an additional FLA member who also lost his dread according to the FLA killboard. The killmail for Menf shows no additional capitals from D2 and company. The last kill is from Skinny Boy which shows no additional capitals, but does show when the support came in near the end of the battle.
There you go, so there was a total of 18 capitals for the coalition, 4 of which have not been confirmed killed, all D2 and Sparta capitals destroyed as I said. If MC killboard was up, I would love to see the dread kills to confirm who was killed.

Can argue numbers all day.
In the end, you committed to a fight and both sides probably had a blast.
Sitting in siege within 10km of another capital fleet, slugging it out like you see in the older EVE videos. Nothing but your discipline and your alliance mates to depend on.
Slugfests like this is why I play EVE.
Thanks for the fight guys, it takes two to tango. Props for bringing it. -

For Greatnick's information, here's stats from the MC killboard:
Coalition
Died: Bobby Atlas - MOROS (FLA) Onat Five - MOROS (D2) Warwick Radcliff - MOROS (Sparta) viper zulu - MOROS (D2) Angeltear - NAGLFAR (Sparta) prathe - NAGLFAR (D2) Auronof - PHOENIX (D2) ChefAce - PHOENIX (Sparta) Swiveler - PHOENIX (Sparta) WHOSYADADDY - PHOENIX (D2) Darth Sith - REVELATION (Sparta) Joe Blow - REVELATION (D2) Lady LeJean - REVELATION (Sparta) Ikta Shoridon - ARCHON (D2) Erfurt - CHIMERA (IRON)
Got Away: Munch - ARCHON (IRON) Intensity Green - THANATOS (RZR) SigmaPod - THANATOS (RZR) Talidorn - THANATOS (RZR)
So it looks like the two carriers that Robet and me had our scrams on died. Next time one of our members loses a carrier and gets rediculed on the D2 killboard for fitting a warp disruptor, remember the two carriers that died today. :)
And yes, we had more people in there eventually, because we knew what was going to happen and thus played you guys for the second time of the day. We had 2 motherships online but they weren't in system... That's easy intel? We had caps in reserve in our capital base. As soon as that arazu lit your cyno, we cyno'd in the motherships and additional caps.
It's called strategy. Your side thought they were going to gank an inferior force, you took the bait and got played. Good fight though. :) -

Not my side, but I do appreciate the info. I am indifferent towards the results, but I do like facts being accurate. Was a very smart move by MC as I said earlier, and there is nothing to detract in game from the great job MC did.

Darth, thanks for taking the time to give us a glimpse from the other side. Sparta being around has helped pick up the pace and we always look forward to fights with you guys. It's interesting to see the thought processes that take place on an operation like this.
In situations like this I think it's damn near impossible for either side to ever have a 100% perfect analysis of a situation. There was simply too much going on. Personally, I am clueless about what happened with the support ships other than there were a lot of them and at one point they took an interest in my dread alt before shifting fire to finish off Skinny Boy's Moros.
BTW, that Moros was the second one ever built for the MC and has one hell of a battle history behind it. Damn fine way to go, slugging it out toe to toe in a fight like this. 
Win or lose, this is the kind of fighting you play the game for. -

Originally by: Seleene Darth, thanks for taking the time to give us a glimpse from the other side. Sparta being around has helped pick up the pace and we always look forward to fights with you guys. It's interesting to see the thought processes that take place on an operation like this.
In situations like this I think it's damn near impossible for either side to ever have a 100% perfect analysis of a situation. There was simply too much going on. Personally, I am clueless about what happened with the support ships other than there were a lot of them and at one point they took an interest in my dread alt before shifting fire to finish off Skinny Boy's Moros.
BTW, that Moros was the second one ever built for the MC and has one hell of a battle history behind it. Damn fine way to go, slugging it out toe to toe in a fight like this. 
Win or lose, this is the kind of fighting you play the game for.
Your welcome .. :) .. I too play this for the luv of the tactical nature of the game .. and I am keenly interested in what happened on the other side .. I know when we hit the F1,F2 .. i am always interested what it must be like for the guy on the other side getting his pride and joy lit up ...we have all been there..
One thing you will always be able to count on from Sparta is a crystal clear local and an honest writeup from me if warranted ...
On the support question .. we finally snaked them around what later appeared to be an afk titan in L-c to get them in theater .. Originally they warped in too far then re-aligned and came in to primary Skinnyboy.. was an aweome job done by the support FC .. just too little to late :)
As for history .. yup .. the one Lady LeJean was in was Sparta's first dread and this battle would be the first Dread losses in Sparta history .. prob won't be the last given the complete change to capital warfare that eve has evolved to 
My one political statement :
Good or bad , coallition vs Bob & co , red vs blue , north vs south .. call it what ever you want , i really don't care .. if it wasn't for both sides and the small handfull of people dedicated to organizing alliances and putting in the effort to claim space, this would be a boring game of empty space and ganking carebears in a belt somewhere. My hats of to the leaders who rise above the smack and join their team mates in the lagfest on the battlefield .. I make this point as I grow tired of wading though pages of mindless smack to find those few meaning full posts that actually further the discussion in a thread in a meaningful way .
Apologies for the political banter .. I just purposely refrain from posting in the forums and I have been wanting to voice that opinion for a while .. Most do not know of Sparta as we are silent on the forums and local by design .. those who know of us , know us well, and can count on us continuing to bring it to the battlefield over and over again :)
We lost this fight, but it is a war for the storybooks only in chaper 1 atm .. I look forward to meeting you on the battlefield again ..

Axe has had many fights with you guys in the past few months, and I have to say you are great guys to fight against and I am guessing fly with. No smack talk that I can tell, very determined, and normally ready for a fight.

Nice job D2, Lub you guys 
Just a matter of time and persistance... Who will have the most? That is yet undetermined, but so far the assault on BoB and so-called pets has been completely derailed, with most entities in the anti-BoB coalition fighting to keep their homespace, it seems.

Not entirely true.
While i will admit the northern front is sucking at the moment, the sothern front with Redgoon and all their allies are kicking ass and taking names. The majority of BoB's mainstay fleet are located near the southern front and they cant seem to stop the slow but steady progress our brothers in arms of the southern coalition are making.
Dont forget that just because you hear about all the crap going on up north, doesnt mean nothing else is going on.
A battle was won last night by the MC and friends capital fleet, but I bet you it will be only one battle of many in the north, and although it is not going in the direction of D2 and her allies at the moment, dont be surprised if the tides turn.
This war, though long and drawn out, is still very much in its infancy. I wish the best of luck to the MC, you guys are the single most classy act in all of eve, and you have the balls to back it all the time. It is important to realize that all wars and all battles have a winner and a looser, but we are lucky enough to be playing a game where there are only 0's and 1's getting vaporized. Lets attempt to keep an enthousyastic spirit and hope for more fun fights in the future, reguardless of outcome.
I bid you all the best.

Originally by: Masta Killa 2) This is why MC look like lapdogs to me, they call themselves "mercenaries" but all they do is the bidding of 1 alliance. They're so busy doing it they're not even accepting contracts anymore.
You're right. MC's red to well over half of 0.0 Eve at the moment. Why wouldn't they be taking more contracts?
Originally by: Menf At the moment my dread got destroyed we already had 5 dreads killed...so anything must went wrong on D2-side...and hey..it was THEIR trap, and they surely don't attack when they know we have larger numbers...and they couldn't believe we wont get further ships in during the fight
Important point to keep in mind during the battles over who outnumbered whom. (Quote edited a bit for grammar 'cause I'm anal like that.)
Originally by: Phoenix Pryde But to save you all that work i put my my nber maths skills to work and added them up 
Can you put your nber math skills to work on figuring out how we killed a dread who wasn't even there, by your count? Other counts have been posted since that are much better; I'm making up a link-list in the first post.

Turnschuh was in EoG, which is no longer a part of AXE. For that matter, Turnschuh is now in Privateers, which says a lot, you must admit. Judge not AXE on what its no-longer-a-member corp's no-longer-a-member front-line grunt did 6 months ago, hmm?
And if I'm a nobody, I'm fine with that. That means you'll primary someone else.

So I didn't believe the D2 & Co. had 117 caps + titan line, and I went to the D2 Killboard. Sure enough, on the kill for Flying Scotsman, there are 12 dreads and 6 carriers on the kill, all Northern Coalition. It's fairly clear that your numbers are wrong.

You're right. Seleene giving me the go-ahead to write the battle report's not nearly enough. Next time I'll ask for permission from you as the head of an alliance who didn't have a single member within carrier jump range, let alone participating, in the battle in question.
Your argument fails, anyway--let's face it, if I didn't post this, some random alt would have, and it would have been WAY less informative. At least I was in the battle.

Where did you get 117 caps?
From the KB battle report Coalition had 21 (22 including the Titan), 17 killed and 4 jumped out after the DD went off (about 2 min into the fight [before the reinforcements came in]). The Coalition also had around 50-70 support ships.
At first we had 9 dreads, 3 carriers. Right away we jumped in 2 moms + 1 carrier. About 1/2 - 3/4 of the way though our reinforcement fleet arrived to bring the totals to 27.
Note as stated before we can argue numbers all day but these are the numbers off our KB and they still may not be 100% but they are pretty close.

This was the worst lag ive seen in game for over 3 years ive been playing it. U can say what you want but all your heavy hitters were dead right off the bat. If it Wasnt for the 10-15 min lag spike (WE) all incountered , This would be you all dead instead of us. Always seems kind of funny when fighting BOB and BOBs main pets (MC) of course.

We would have gotten those last 4 carriers if my ares of doom hadn't exploded, once it was down we lost all our DPS 
Seriously though, we brought what we had in the immediate area, very few pilots on at the time, only a fraction of which were in the area, and full of violent tendencies as always we came to the fight. For all involved parties, I beleive, we were far from peak participation. While AXE's presence was arguably not a deciding factor, we had a good time, and after all that's what we pay our $15/month for

Originally by: doctorstupid2 Seriously though, we brought what we had in the immediate area, very few pilots on at the time, only a fraction of which were in the area, and full of violent tendencies as always we came to the fight. For all involved parties, I beleive, we were far from peak participation.
It was late for you guys, I know this because I logged in mid battle.
Normally I miss the battles by two hours

Originally by: Vandervecken Smith So I didn't believe the D2 & Co. had 117 caps + titan line, and I went to the D2 Killboard. Sure enough, on the kill for Flying Scotsman, there are 12 dreads and 6 carriers on the kill, all Northern Coalition. It's fairly clear that your numbers are wrong.
Where did you get 117 caps?
From the KB battle report Coalition had 21 (22 including the Titan), 17 killed and 4 jumped out after the DD went off (about 2 min into the fight [before the reinforcements came in]). The Coalition also had around 50-70 support ships.
At first we had 9 dreads, 3 carriers. Right away we jumped in 2 moms + 1 carrier. About 1/2 - 3/4 of the way though our reinforcement fleet arrived to bring the totals to 27.
Note as stated before we can argue numbers all day but these are the numbers off our KB and they still may not be 100% but they are pretty close.
Sorry, that was a slip of the finger. 17, not 117! Some of the North guys had been claiming 17 capitals present.

Originally by: WHOSYADADDY Always seems kind of funny when fighting BOB and BOBs main pets (MC) of course. They dont get lag but every 1 else Does.
If I'd recorded TS, I'd send it to you to prove it. The only instructions we were given regarding lag were to turn off turrets, effects, and sound. And realistically, there are enough spies sprinkled around through our ranks that surely someone would have revealed the truth by now if there were a "-devh4x" command-line option.
I had graphics lag. My computer froze for about 5 seconds on three separate occasions, I think related to nearby smartbomb activations. That's it. No module lag--and trust me, I've been in ASCN fleets, I know what module lag looks like.
That leaves manipulation on the server side. And if you think the game is THAT rigged, it's time to quit. Please.
Anyway, all this lag discussion is ridiculous. YOU jumped into US. YOU chose the time and place to do so. YOU brought 50+ support pilots into system when we had 20 or so, tops. YOU set off the doomsday that apparently triggered a bunch of the lag on your side. While it'd have been fun for us to (paraphrasing all the previous posters) fight with 15-1 numbers on our side, but nonetheless (paraphrasing you) with no hope of possibly winning, that's just not the reality. It was touch-and-go, with approximately-even numbers and--unlike you--no Titan on our side, and we pulled through from a combination of better fittings, better skills, better coordination, and flawless tactical execution, combined with the (bravely ran away, away!) cynoing out of half of your carrier fleet at the worst possible time for you. Blame it on lag, fine. If you apply for reimbursement, I hope the GM's watch the fraps, first.

We shot at BoB in support of ASCN. Then -A- appeared and took over our home. Given the choice of with whom to side, you'd pick the people who invaded your home?
If you can never shoot at anyone you've fought alongside, we can't shoot at: BoB (EC-P8R siege) GOON (Prohibition campaigns) IAC (Prohibition campaigns) Invictus (former ASCN) MC (fighting alongside them now, shot them during Prohibition) X-Traders (former XF) X-Pact (former AXE) etc., etc., etc.
What a ****ty game it would be at that point! It's a foolish man who walks into the future facing backwards.

I suggest you check my emplloyment history in game, the hint I'll give you is I've been with AXE since we fought with BoB & Co over a year ago sieging G/IRON/TRUST 
Fact is we've had a long standing relationship with corps and members of BOB, in their great standings reset 10 months ago or so, we were no exception to this. We've been shooting D2 and their famed train since before D2 was D2, AXE was AXE, and ASCN was ASCN. So when the eve populace began beating their war drums, we wanted to join the party and shoot the same people we've been shooting for (quite literally) years. So Steel went and had a little chat with Molle, that went something along the lines of:
Steel Rat > hey, we're coing north to shoot at pinheads, can we have docking rights so we don't need to stage out of empire? Sir Molle > fo ****zle AXE Members > yaharrrr!!!!
And we all lived happily ever after. Once D2 is down for the count we'll be going elsewhere, doing our own thing, shooting at whatever we can lock onto. And it will be good.

Having said that, my point was, when he says he had bad lag...then you can believe that he did.
No accusations thrown, other than to CCP for messing up again.

You can look at it one of two ways:
1) We're helping BOB 2) We're shooting D2
No matter who comes out the victor in this conflict, we win. Our goal in Coming north was not to secure space, nor to help assure a BOB victory. We came here to discharge munitions and nothing more, in a sense we won on our first day on the field. We have no real investment in this war beside the ships we undock in, if all is lost, our large assets are still safely tucked away in empire and we've lost nothing more than the ships that were shot down; we have no POS's, no sovereignity, no outposts, and we don't want it. We're not out to carve a chunk of space for ourselves, we're out to produce killmails. That's sort of our thing these days, comparable to nomdas, we lost our space and have never looked back. We go where the targets are, fighting offensively is a lot more fun than fighting defensively ever could be. At 1/3 our size a year ago, with no claimed space, we're doing better than ever and having more fun than most of us can recall in Eve.
When this is over with and we've gone elsewhere, I'm sure there will be another person somewhere, just like you, crying foul because we're shooting them and not ______________

NSA Bivas? Is that you?
Pretty much all of 0.0 is either on the side of the Alliance or the Coalition right now. Does this mean you'd rather have COAD exclusively be the discussion of wars conducted between mining corps in Jita? I'm not sure what other battles there are to write about.

ORLY? where, pray tell, was our 50 man support fleet of equal numbers?
Towards the end of the slugfest we had roughly equal numbers of capitals on the field, initally outnumbered in capitals until our reinforcements made an appeareance, and no support leaving us 50 pilots short of equal numbers.

I'm not debating capital numbers. I'm debating the huge discrepency in claimed equal fleet sizes. So capitals were within 1 ship of equal numbers once all were on the field, yes? You mean to tell me circa 30 battleships and 20 smaller ships vs a support fleet numbering barely a dozen played no role in this? Sure, because as we all know, 50 support and 30 capitals are fully helpless at the hands of a mothership.

I dont exactly know... but arent a support fleet of 50 capable of putting out quite good dps and actually would do something in a capital fight. That is if they dont get dd'd or such. Ofcourse if its 50 frigs... :) |

Doctor, stop living up to your name and give it a rest.
The support fleet that arrived really didn't seem to affect things too much. 6 bs's lit up my dread for a while for effectively no damage, and it seemed that the support fleet in general really wasn't accomplishing much with the exception of nuking fighters. I know a few of our own support got dropped by them but as said before we didn't have a whole lot of support there anyways.
So all in all, the numbers argument pretty much goes for the capships, as those were the types that were really doing the fighting. D2 et al started off outnumbering us (just barely) but when we jumped in our reserve the numbers appeared to be about even. Again, that's capships only.
All in all, props to the Northerners for bringing it. The whole lag issue confuses me, because not a single one of us on teamspeak ever encountered any lag.

We nuked a carrier with about 22 frigs and 2 cruisers, but that's irrelevant since as has been established apparently, support ships are incapable of doing enough damage to warrant a capital so much as activating hardeners.

I really could care less about D2 at this point, that is why I left the north, but at least get your numbers right in regards to the amount of capitals you used.
So basicaly you are saying you know better? Seleene was there, u wasnt.
I was there, the support fleet was bottle up one jump out because of Chowdown. Only reason the support fleet went in is because the IRON FC decided to leroy to come to the aid of the IRON cap ships. Chowdown was apparently afk.

even assuming even cap numbers...i heard d2 jumped in within 10km of your fleet, with blaster and closerange capital fittings, and all nos on the carriers. vs an even number fleet with normal anti pos fittings, with titan and support fleet, you had the upper hand. unless that post on page 1 is faulty. if it is, my bad

Ignore the "News" alts, and the spectators.
Thanks, and done, respectively. At least, I'm trying. 
Originally by: Flinx Evenstar (only slight alteration I would make, is that the battle field was roughly equal. You did not fight outnumbered ...sorry to bring that up again, but at end of day..you guys came out on top )
I chose the wording pretty carefully, tbh. At the time the hostile capitals jumped in, and at the time we docked up, reloaded, and arranged for backup, we were outnumbered. Now, keep in mind I was writing this while still very unsure of all the numbers involved; I posted the only information I was certain of, which was that we were outnumbered THEN. I'm sorry if I didn't make it more clear that we weren't outnumbered afterwards, but I actually didn't know whether or not that was the case when I was writing the post. Also:
Originally by: Prophet Malcalypse3 even assuming even cap numbers...i heard d2 jumped in within 10km of your fleet, with blaster and closerange capital fittings, and all nos on the carriers. vs an even number fleet with normal anti pos fittings, with titan and support fleet, you had the upper hand. unless that post on page 1 is faulty. if it is, my bad
I can't help but feel this is pretty accurate. You had gank, close-range fittings, NOS/neut-fitted carriers, a Titan, and 50+ support. I honestly believe that if those four carriers hadn't jumped out, I would've been writing a battle report about a large loss. Maybe that's just me being nanve, though.
I'd rather not update the "heart", so to speak, of the battle report. But I'll link to this from the OP.

The Titan deployed was D2's Leviathan and the majority of the support fleet was Northerners.
Chowdown never showed up in C4C for that fight.

ROFL. Is this not the approach ASCN took when they started to lose. BOB exploits, BoB gets no lag. Your Funny.
Who gives a fk what you think...you are a 1 man alt corp bypassing forum rules
http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=505447 I so wish CCP had had the nuts to enforce some of that
and btw ...it's you are..or you're. Freaky little alt kid
And MC..lay off Whosyadaddy, he has been here long enough to know what lag is.
Yes you killed a lot of caps, but have some respect.
I think somone is upset due to all the mining he must due to replace all the capitals his alliance continues to lose. Looks like you lost another one today as well to the same MC group lol. Think you would learn to just goto low sec and gank noobs like your good at and leave 0.0

Dear god 'north' please just win convincingly once! The smarm that oozes from this lot is utterly unbearable and we all endure it day after day.
"Battle report by jolly old Happy McGavin of the Axiom Empire alliance! : fight in 0-MFG5 - Today alliance forces smashed 600 coalition poses with 3 thoraxes and the MC mascot, David the goat. It was a jolly good show with minimal lag, no smack and a wonderful ginger ale & jam sponge fight! We held the field in all 80 systems while holding off stiff resistance. Allied losses: some antimatter medium charges, coalition losses: 840 support and 230 capitals! Thanks for bringing it chaps, spiffing good fun as always!"

ROFL. They will get a few blows in I am sure. Probably a big blow to Axe, Xelas, Aftermath, and the other smaller alliances. I just dont think have what it takes to take on MC though. I could be wrong, but doubt it.

How dare you talk about David. He was a secret weapon to be revealed at a later time. How could you? Have we mentioned outbreak's mascot? polly the platypus? Polly
Edit: also a rare pic of David for the non-believers.

Seeing as no one else from the support fleet has posted. I thought I would make a post and hopefully put to rest some of the speculation that is around regarding what our support fleet did and did not do.
I was piloting 2 toons in the support fleet a huginn and a vulture.
When we initially formed up we were about a 30 strong Sparta gang and all we really knew was that we would be rendezvousing with a D2 gang later that day/night. Our composition was probably about 10 recons, 15 û 20 BS, a few BC and some smaller support.
We headed to 0-2 first to look for a some fun and once we arrived, found that Axiom had 5 carriers sitting in a pos 3JN9 near the 0-2 gate. Our scout reported that they had about 50 fighters deployed and a number of support ships with them.
We camped the 3JN9- gate for a while hoeing they would jump their carriers in and engage us but soon a MC gang joined them and we felt the odds werenÆt even remotely looking so good for us any more so we moved on.
At around the time that was going on we met up with another 10 pilots from d2 and combined our gangs taking our numbers up to 43.
We headed out back towards our home system to feign running away and met up with another 10 ish pilots from iron (not 100% on the numbers of the iron gang). I believe that our total numbers were about 52.
We set our destinations to C4C- and moved up the pipe to the L3 gate in K4Y- . We held here, concerned because Chowdown was in K4Y- in his Titan and MC had a camp with a large bubble on the K4Y- gate in C4C-. Mean while our capital fleet had decided to go for it and jump in on the MC fleet. To get into C4C- and help our fleet would mean busting the mc camp and popping the bubble fast... with a very real chance of having a titan jump in on us and dooms day us whilst our entire fleet was trapped in their bubble.
After some fast discussion on comÆs the option to leave the gang was given to any pilot who wasnÆt willing to loose their ship in what could have been a suicide attempt to get through the camp. Some pilots voiced concerns however not one of the support fleet left.
We jumped into K4Y- aligned for C4C- and warped their as fast as possible jumping on arrival.
PrimaryÆs and secondary were called and as we uncloaked our turrets and launchers lit up. To our great relief the hostileÆs warped out and no great white light appeared to ôcleanseö our ships from the grid. We turned our attention to the bubble which we made mighty short work of and gang warped the second it was down to the pos where the battle was unfolding.
Unfortunatelyà as all posÆs seem to be doing these days, when we arrived at the moon the pos was 200 km away from us and the Mc and co capitals out of range for all except some extreme t2 snipers.
Using the wrecks of fallen comrades we warped to more appropriate ranges.
Unfortunately by this time most of the battle was actually over.
The first mail I was on is at 04:08 by which time we had already lost 5 of our Sparta dreads and 5 of our D2 dreadsà ie10 of 13
So I think that we can also claim that we didnÆt have the numbers till later in the fight and with both sides claiming that maybe we should just forget about it. Yes when the support fleet jumped in local was 120 ish but as I already said and can be seen on the mails this wasnÆt until very late in the fight and up until / before then. The numbers had from all reports been equal to start, with a superior MC and friendÆs capital force later in the fight.
I see that some of the Iron were on skinny boys kill mail at 04:05 but this is still 6-7 dreads into the fight for usà and the fact that they are even on the mail shows that something muse have been going wrong for our dread to be out damaged by bs.

I also want to add that we had no (0) nosing ships in the support fleet, so any statements that we were nosing MC capitals hard enough to deactivate hardeners is false. Any deactivation of hardeners due to capping out was not due to the support feet.
The support fleet managed to kill maybe 500 mil worth of fighters (rough estimate) and had no losses.
Thanks for the fight guys and big respect to all involved for keeping it smack free and fun.
Also big thanks to the FcÆs from d2 and Sparta who put in the work to make this possible and although we lost, fun.

Originally by: Masta Killa 1) Pilk says "we" as if Axe did any of the work.
AXE had two carriers + support there. What does it take to qualify as "doing any of the work", exactly? Quit camping my posts, ffs.
Battlereports = "Hey, look what me and my guys just did". Hence, people, who contribute the most to fight should write em. Definately not dude, whos alliance brought entire 2 carriers, 2 interceptors and harpy to the battlefield. Those 1500 dps decided destiny of battle, without doubt 
Leave battlereports to someone, who brought it, because you are not able to bring it by yourself. Seleene for example.
You're right. Seleene giving me the go-ahead to write the battle report's not nearly enough. Next time I'll ask for permission from you as the head of an alliance who didn't have a single member within carrier jump range, let alone participating, in the battle in question.
Your argument fails, anyway--let's face it, if I didn't post this, some random alt would have, and it would have been WAY less informative. At least I was in the battle.
--P
ET is right though. If you wanted to be informative you shoulda postet the facts like who jumped whom, who killed whom, who held the field, where the pos' secured. Instead you chose to write an essay of chestbeating how glorious you are, denying your minimal role and denying you were lucky your oppponent was lagged to hell. That's why you're not getting your rep. But w/e, we all know what's really happening in the north, so let's get on.

That's why you're not getting your rep. But w/e, we all know what's really happening in the north, so let's get on.
Your questions, and their respective answers from the OP:
who jumped whom: "A cynosural field went up, and Local began growing. TeamSpeak was short, staccato bursts of information: "Cyno". "Local going up." And then finally, the legendary: "It's a trap!""
who killed whom: "Total body count at the end: Friendly, 3 Phoenixes, one Moros
Hostile: Thirteen dreads Four carriers"
who held the field: "And we controlled the field."
where the pos' secured: I'll give you this one, that was actually not made clear.
Nowehere in the OP was there any AXE chestbeating, the term "we" does not refer solely to Axe. "we" refers to the alliance pilots present, and was never stated otherwise. Axe had minimal pilots in the fight, and we never asserted anything to the contrary. Axe pilots were in the same gang as every other friendly pilot in system, "we" is our gang, not Axe alone. I hope I've made this painfully clear at this point.
And to be perfectly honest, I can only hear this lag story EVERY time D2 loses a ship so many times before it loses what little meaning it had to start with; naming ships "USS Reimbursment" and adding such witty things as "reimbursed lolol" to killboards does not inspire confidence.

Well, we really, really wanted to kill MC Dreadnaughts, so Xazier leeroy'd us in and we got there in time to help kill the Moros. I didn't even get there, as I crashed after jumping in to C4C, and when I had logged back in all my settings were reset (including overview) and the tutorial started running. By the time I was able to get the basics going again I appeared at an MC Deathstar POS with a Damnation outside the forcefield running a cyno. Managed to get his shields down and believe he was in armor when the POS popped me.

Um... the OP is actually quite factual, and Pilk has been adding links to the first post referencing additional information given later in the thread, from both sides. Without some first-hand account on how what happened, the first post would be nothing more than "Engagement in C4C from approximately 03:55 - 04:15, resulting in 21 capital losses for Coalition, 4 for Alliance. The end." We could rely on one of our local forum alts for that much insightful information, surely to be followed by pleas for exactly what Pilk posted: a first hand account.
it is, after all, a battle REPORT, not a killboard.

Originally by: GreatNick Edited by: GreatNick on 03/05/2007 07:48:41 To say you were jumped by a larger capital group, when you had half of your capitals which outnumber the enemy group are ready to warp to POS, is not an accurate assetment. You baited the D2 capitals in, and brought your remaining fleet in for the kill. Good strategy, and I see no issue with that, but at no point should you guys act like you were outnumbered. Having 7 more capitals is not a distinct advantage, especially since a Titan cannot even hurt a capital.

Originally by: Pesadel0 To the OP good battle report ,but it could be best if you would cut the **** and keep to the facts only.
Thanks for the backhanded compliment, I guess? If you can find a better-written, better-managed battle report crammed into two posts amidst an 238-post thread, compiled in the first 30 minutes after the battle ended, I'd love to see it. I've done my damndest to make the report readable, informative, and of decent quality in terms of impartiality. If I've failed somewhere, quite frankly, you can either point out where or kiss my buttocks. I have no use for, "Thanks for the battle report, but BTW, it sucked!" That helps no one.

Originally by: Firane Its nice to see an alliance that adapts to spies, rather than whining about them. Props.
In times of war, everyone and anything are just another means to an end. 
It was awesome to see a plan come together like that though, the Chow is truly evil! :) - Your SIG is to big please reduce it to fit these limits

Originally by: Tassill Edited by: Tassill on 05/05/2007 08:09:08 Seeing as no one else from the support fleet has posted. I thought I would make a post and hopefully put to rest some of the speculation that is around regarding what our support fleet did and did not do.
I was piloting 2 toons in the support fleet a huginn and a vulture.
When we initially formed up we were about a 30 strong Sparta gang and all we really knew was that we would be rendezvousing with a D2 gang later that day/night. Our composition was probably about 10 recons, 15 û 20 BS, a few BC and some smaller support.
We headed to 0-2 first to look for a some fun and once we arrived, found that Axiom had 5 carriers sitting in a pos 3JN9 near the 0-2 gate. Our scout reported that they had fighters deployed and a number of support ships with them.
We camped the 3JN9- gate for a while hopeing they would jump their carriers in and engage us but soon a MC gang joined them and we felt the odds werenÆt even remotely looking so good for us any more so we moved on. Our numbers had probbly grown to 50 by this time.[ 2007.05.03 04:03:21 ] (notify) Warping to Big E-peen Wreck
BTW those were SA carriers not Axiom defending our system. Figured your gang was looking to come in to deliever goods/protect the FLA/IRON/FOUNDATION POS that got dropped the prior night by a gang, and put into reinforced mode in less than an hour.

Was curious about that one. AXE hadn't deployed five or more carriers to that system for at least the past week. Thanks for clarifying.

Necroing is bad, mmmk?
But I do have to make one comment which I hadn't seen in regards to Altair's post on this last page.
Storm Armada = ESA. SA = Stain- Alliance or one of their many incarnations.
