I love EVE.
I think it offers more to a gamer then any other MMO on the market. But what other game requires you to do this to even have a chance to have decent gameplay.
1. Turn off SOUND
2. Zoom all the way out to increase framerate. (I had a friend of mine ask me to show him a screenshot from EVE and i send him one from our fleet battle. He laughed cause all he saw is bunch of purple/red squares. Good thing we have all those nice textures to the ships)
3. Turn of Z-buffer (who cares if your small squares loko flatter  )
It may only increase your fps (well beside the turning off z-buffer, as z-buffer is meant to be in any 3D game and you can't get a 3D without using Z-buffer or one of its modifications like W-buffer), but it is not a panacea against lag and desyncs.

It angers me greatly when people make whinning posts about a well known issue and then start demanding ccp fix it.
THEY ARE, they are trying there best and investing lots of $$$ to try and make it happen, but things dont happen overnite.
and its a no win anyway they fix 100v100 battles then there will be 200v200 battles lagging out and so on.
If you dont like the lag, dont shoot our ****in poses and we wont have to blob you 
Correct me if im wrong, but the mass desyncs were introduced in Rev 2.0. It is obvious: CCP have screwed something up in their code while trying to implement "the need for speed"...
We had a lag before. Now on top of that we also have the desyncs. Yesterday I did desync twice: one time without any hostiles around... on jump in into R-Y. The second time after the first 10 seconds of S-K battle.
Actually, I cant remember a single day without desyncs when we were running 100+ men fleets. Thats post rev 2.0 of course.

To the original poster:
You made a wrong assumption. Some (many?) people find more fun in winning than in pressing f1 - f8 and watching a blow.
You mean those who like masochism?
Winning/losing have nothing to do with present thread. Both sides have suffered and no one won. Out of 300-500 involved ships there possibly was destroyed maximum 30 in total on both sides. It was not a fight... it was a stress-test for the node and node failed to pass it. End of story.

OK, the boy makes a good point.
Goons, you heard the man, we're limiting fleet sizes from here on out to 50. If, AND ONLY IF, you turn in a Fleet Size Exception Form at least 3 days in advance, you may blob up to 80, but that's it. As Most Important Goon I've given my Word As Bond, so my honour is on the line here goons so don't screw it up. I've spoken to my diplomatic contacts in BoB and they have agreed to this, and actually assured me they would only show up in half that many ships since they only roll in tII ships so that's twice the lag anyway.
I asked our Russian friends as well and they replied "Мне нравятся большие жопы , и я не могу это скрывать" which I believe means "yeah no problem buddy" if I translated that correctly.
So it's a go! See you on the Fields of Honour! (only in limited numbers of course   )

I know, I know... asking goons to limit their fleets is about same as asking goons to act mature and respectful. Oh, well...

The only way to change this is to scrap the POS warefare, have NPC's control it and let arena battle for soverignty, like an alliance tourney, 10v10 or 20v20, or 50v50. Have a special gate where no shooting can occur until everyone is set.
This is good I like this we could call it Eve: Battlegrounds I think making Eve more like WoW would be a huge improvement.
FYI the so called "battlegrounds" existed long before WoW.
The POS warfare is broken in so many ways. The arenas or battlegrounds is only possible solution. yes, it need to have advanced rules and maybe some additional balancing like getting rid of dampeners on not specialized ships and other similiar things, but this way it is possible to get rid of huge blobs and countless hours spent at absolutely mindless POS shooting / repping. Other then the territorial questions EVE should remain unchanged. This way we still will have roaming / recon gangs flying around and having a fun of small scale battles, while the territorial questions will be decided between strongly trained / good equiped teams on arenas.
If you happen to know better solution do not hesitate to explain it...
