Nice post. Its a shame the my last engagement for a long while was killing a capital ship yard with nobody defending it, but its not a bad end I guess.
For now I am parked in empire with a brand new set of implants training until I can start helping / playing again on a decent computer. I hate moving in RL lol.
I wish you all the best of luck and hopefully a few more good fights.

Titans maybe I can understand the complaining about, MS's MAYBE. But why do I see so many people crying about Carriers / Dreads... 80 Capital ships, 0.0 is done for bla bla bla.
I don't build Carriers or Dreads myself, but I do recall going through the market and identifying that all the BPO's for the Ships and the stuff needed to build the ships is on the market. I thought well all this crying, maybe the materials to build these ships are rare and only found in 0.0. Well I looked and to my amazement they only use minerals. The same minerals used to build BS's, Cruisers, Frigs and such.
So instead of crying that this team has more or that team has more why don't you go build yourself some.
Yes you may have seen Axe get upset about log on traps, possibly even POS's setup without a mail to those that hold Sov, but you never heard us cry that -A- had more caps than us, more isk than us, or more t2 ships than us (Not saying all those are true, I honestly don't know), But point is still the same.
Stop crying about it and do somthing. If its give up, retreat then do it. If its fall back some, build a larger capital fleet then do it. If its quit Eve and join WoW then so be it.

>>> Determined to save the tower, on Tuesday we gathered a force of 42 Dreads, 43 carriers and four motherships.
That line alone pretty much proves that current 0.0 warfare in EVE is completely <insert f-word here>ed.
How so? D2 had equal numbers in dreads, unknown carrier/mom count and 1 titan, they had a heck of a lot more support and very BS heavy they also had the ability to resupply in system or in their capital 1 jump away.
They chose not to engage which could have been a smart or dumb move, only time will tell. Their would have been heavy losses for both sides if they had warped in and pressed the ebil siege button.
If someone wants to kill a tower (save their system or take one) they should have to put their balls to the wall or go home.
If they had engaged it would have been one for the record books and I sure as hell would have loved to have lost my Carrier there to be apart of the fight. I even insured my Carrier for that 
I wasnt referring to that battle. I just think huge capital blobs are not good for the game overall.
Just to point somthing out (Seleene sry if you dont want this info out) when we killed the capital ship yard we barley had 80 people in our gang total from what I recall, and my guess is 25 caps. So I don't see how blob's, capitals are the issue.

How many capitals you had ready in the area to join the fight at moment's notice if it would have been required? 60?
As I said we had 25 or so. We had zero ready to jump in and help other than maybe 1-2 stragglers and such. But while we are at it, sure we have 200 ready to jump in, and always have 200 ready so just leave.

I don't think it's the capital ships that are changing eve
That actually made me laugh out loud.
I don't think its capital ships either, I think its people afraid to use there capital ships. It sucks to lose them, trust me I know, I have lost 1 dread and a 4-5bil isk carrier. But guess what I am in a new carrier and have a dread in the station waiting for me. You have to be willing to lose these ships to make them effective. They are no differant than BS's at the start of the game. I recall when a Maller was more dangerous than any other ship because everyone else was in frigs. Its the same thing now except some people are in Capitals while the others are in BS's.
