It's 4.43 am and I am sure I'm going to die at work. But it was worth it, to see an EVOL carrier die. That happened maybe 30 min ago. I'm not sure what it was doing, probably repping the cyno jammer at a pos. A combined force of goons + allies warped in and took it down. It had one hell of a tank.
I had ungodly module lag though. I don't think any of my guns managed to activate before the carrier exploded.
Still, it was good fun. From what I read on the internal forums FinFleet did a lot of heavy lifting for BoB today. Props to them.

BoB have yet to take out a deathstar since revs II hit
Is this correct?
Hasn't taken down a Goon deathstar as far as I know. Who knows if they have taken down those from other alliances?
(But they didn't take down any tonight despite a rugged show of force.)

Didn't even manage to fire a single shot the entire fight. :(
To be honest, the lag probably saved the BoB fleet from annihilation. We couldn't get any tackles at all. :/
I guess with our numbers we're going to get more people with better lag, but that's not really luck, it's just statistics.

Who is the guy who's saying that BoB would have kicked our ass in a lag free environment?
The last time I can recall BoB wiping the floor with us was when the mass desync thing was going on. Even with roughly equal numbers every fight I have seen have been pretty brutal with heavy casualties on both sides. BoB is good, but not so good that they can beat fleets that outnumber them so vastly.
And as BoB noted, GoonSwarm fleets are getting better - more battleships, more T2 - while the masses of faction fitted HACs coming our way seem to be a thing of the past. This means our quantitative superiority is coinciding with a qualitative improvement.
I think what some of you guys are forgetting is that when you see 200 BoB, it's not like 200 RKK or something. BoB fleets are now allied-heavy. With all respect to Rise, FinFleet, EXE, et al, they aren't exactly RKK.
As far as I can tell, BoB attendances seem to be dropping while we have been getting allies wanting to join in on fights from all over the place.
In fact, a lag free environment last night would probably have ended in the BoB fleet getting eliminated. Our dictors couldn't trap the BoB fleet, who gangwarped out, as it was too laggy to bubble (in the first major fight). Tacklers couldn't tackle, because modules wouldn't fire.
About my lag point: For instance, earlier today in 66- a RSF fleet was consistently beating an outnumbered BoB + allies fleet, on a weekend, in Eurotime. There was very little lag during these small gang fights. BoB et al had battleships too. But it's possible it could have been just a lousy FC or something.

This whole thing reminds me of the movie 300.
A small group of ppl trying to do a stand against a new big army. We all know how that ends though :)
Didn't Sparta just surrender

The ones syign that DDD was way too nerfed and cannot be used against a strong fleet. Ask to _Y_ about it.. just don 't use too many "A" in your words or they might soem strange surge to run.
Let's be fair - you can't expect BoB Titan pilots to be as good as the likes of Evil Thug. :) |

What is your main getting more bored and frustrated with, sitting in a POS doing nothing or repping station services?
Goons crying on the forums, but that's just bored, frustration does not occur.
I love you Alice I really do you're a supreme troll and disperser of misinformation but you're seriously getting harder and harder to understand
