Tzrailasa Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.13 09:59:00 - [1] Edited by: Tzrailasa on 13/05/2007 09:58:20 Originally by: King Fury Originally by: nickycakes A thousand nations of the BoB empire descend upon you. Our Powerblob will blot out the sun! Lol funny comment coming from an LV Loser Hmmm, I quite frankly don't understand your definition of 'looser'.... One of the following two is a looser.... a) The guy who gets knocked down, gets back on his feet and start fighting again? b) The guy who gets knocked down, and go whining/flaming on the forum? Which???? Seems your strange definition is a). (FYI, the guy you quoted is back out fighting. Look him up on our KB if you're doubting me)... My views are my own.

Stats taken from BoB killboard. King Fury: 0 Kills, 0 Losses nickycakes: 109 kills, 2 losses Guderian: 61 kills, 8 losses EDIT: Comment on below post... I think my point is VERY VERY clear My views are my own. They do not represent the views of my corporation or alliance.

I know that this is the principal tinfoilhattery theory, but look here for a more plausible theory (last half of post), especially since local in F-TE1T never exceeded 550 according to people who were there (I was lagged out in the next system and couldn't get in either). 550 is NOT equal to 700.... Originally by: Bienurdau Hywoaf BoB currently has the most titans that are publicly known. Currently, yes, but up until last week, the Titan numbers were EVEN! 3 for us, 3 for the cryalition. If they are such non-surmountable obstacles, how come we're not bothered? Originally by: Bienurdau Hywoaf They can remote detonate killing billions in a shot for around 20 million in cost per shot. Yes, they can do that, but afaik (and from personal observation), that is a feature far more used by the cryalition titan pilots than ours. Cyno-DD is not all that effective, since the cyno going up is an instant warning to everyone on grid (in comparison, the DD effect takes a while to be really visible). Originally by: Bienurdau Hywoaf The only really effective counter strategy was to use blob tactics where you brought as many as you could and hoped that you could have enough survive the titan blasts to achieve your goal. THAT, is just about the worst strategy I've ever heard!!! My views are my own. They do not represent the views of my corporation or alliance.

Actually, if he wanted to he could easily mine in peace. All he has to do is put (one of) his characters in a BoB renter corp and mine and rat in peace without anyone bothering him. Malachon, you DO realise how badly your comment here just PWN'd the cryalition??? My views are my own. They do not represent the views of my corporation or alliance.
Tzrailasa Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.13 16:48:00 - [5] Originally by: Narciss Sevar Originally by: Witty Moniker Stuff....I was in F-T when it all happened, and I can confirm this. Yes there was lag, but it was playable. Reports from coalition capitals is they had insane lag. Personally i never made within 3 jumps due to some lagging out and freezing when jumping. Everything but F-TE1T was lagged to a four-letter word or even worse (F-TE1T only halfway to a four-letter word). I was in the system next door (most of BoB actually weren't in F-TE1T), and had activation-lag of 10-15 minutes I finally got in after about 1-1.5 hours (and this was 1 jump!), and after bubbling up dreads for 10-20 minutes, my poor little 'dictor got blown up by drones I didn't even see.

It seems CCP is introducing POS jumpgates to help alleviate some of this. On the other hand as only the defenders will be able to use them I give it a 50/50 chance of failing horribly. Jump-gates are a bad idea imho. It'll make roaming inside enemy territory a useless tool of war... What this game needs are MORE incentive for people to be out in space, not less....

Tzrailasa Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.13 17:50:00 - [7] Edited by: Tzrailasa on 13/05/2007 17:49:09 Originally by: Lakedaimon Quote: Reports from coalition capitals is they had insane lag. Personally i never made within 3 jumps due to some lagging out and freezing when jumping. I spent about three hours trying to get into F-T. When I finally did, exactly one enemy carrier and two friendly inties loaded when I warped to where the battle was. We shot at the carrier for a bit before it simply disappeared, and that's pretty much all that happened in F-T for me. Lag seems to affect everyone differently. Bad luck for me, I envy the ones who managed to get in-system and actually do something. That doesn't mean that I won't be there the next time. What I don't understand is how some members of the Coalition can be complaining about blobs. Posts from the beginning of this war made by the Coalition praised their gigantic arsenal of capital ships and promised to steamroll the Alliance with said megafleet as well as to instantly replace any cap losses. Quite a few of you didn't seem to mind blob warfare back then, so why the change of heart now? The thing was, that they figured they'd use their Cap fleet with impunity. I.e. jump in, start shooting the target, node lagging, node crashing. Target dying without any risk. Trouble was, CCP fixed the bug they were intending to (ab)use... FYI: The Cryalition Cap count is probably higher than ours.. You don't hear us whining though... My views are my own. They do not represent the views of my corporation or alliance.

This is whether your a member of the coalition or the alliance. The titans and moms ruin what would be great fights. You're blaming the wrong reason... Originally by: dastommy79 People dont seem to want to fight if they dont have 3-1 odds in their favor. THIS is the real reason fights don't happen... We see it all the time down south. The only fights we can get people to commit to are when they outnumber us 3-1. Otherwise we only get fights when they forget to scout... The problem is not the super-caps (they're involved in what, maybe 5% of all fights?), but people not having the guts to loose ships... A snip from another post (yes, I know it's slightly out of context) Originally by: Dawn Princess Why risk 2bn isk ships in fights sums it up perfectly... Oh, and FYI. Super-cap numbers are roughly equal on the two sides of the conflict, with the cryalition being ahead on capitals, but you don't hear us moaning... My views are my own.

Otherwise we only get fights when they forget to scout... Show me the link to a fight where you fought outnumbered I can link you to a gang fight where we engaged with 2v1 odds against us. Everyone can see that you are the guys blobbing and napping everything in sight. Once again....what fight this year were you outnumbered 3v1 please. Or are you, as I suspect...lying Look for last saturday morning on our KB... numbers roughly 5-1... 'nuff said... Since then, there BEEN no enemy fleets (even though we're sieging 9-9)! Usually (I'm down south btw, not north...), there are NO enemy roaming gangs, NO enemy gate camps, NO enemy fleets. Allmost all 'fights' are boring ganks of NPC'ers... There are always exceptions, but that's the general picture as seen from a Euro timezone pow. US tz is slightly more active... My views are my own.

'nuff said... Since then, there BEEN no enemy fleets (even though we're sieging 9-9)! I can only see small battles on saturday the 12th in the morning, and some skirmish with goons on the 5th. That 'small battles' thing you're talking about in the early hours, was about ~50 of our guys vs. ~300 hostiles. Our guys didn't hide in POS, they didn't log, they didn't run, they didn't dock. They came out again and again, and fought a 5 hour running battle against odds. Of.c. you'll not recognise that, but it's the fact... The main reason I can't find many examples is that for the last 1-2 months, if we're reported anywhere NEAR a system, all hostiles log/run/hide/dock... (yes, that's your allies I'm talking about)...
