Edited by: Darcuese on 19/09/2007 11:53:50 And one more thing, while im here......
If, in some weird scenario, CCP would disable possibility of "log in traps" in a way (for example) to disable login ships (capitals) to spawn instantly where is needed (or prevent entering siege for 15 min lets say), Im sure there would be lot more situations with less capitals attacking POS'es.....if numbers of capitals bug you
One of reasons of such numbers is to prevent such situations (one side spending their time IN GAME planning and attacking POS knowing there is a chance other side might have something to log in if numbers of attacking capitals seem as juicy target). So, basicly, its might be reflection of some other things from the past me, myself and I ------> |

Originally by: corporal hicks The arms race is on. BOB and allies can field more capships than anyone else and they use them, to not use them would be a waste, whats the point in having them if your not using them, lag issues are CCp's problem, last time i checked CCP introduced the cap ships and wanted them to be used. It does not take a rocket scientist to figure out everyone that can afford them will buy them and then we will have massive ammounts of cap ships.
This whole issue popped up 4 years ago also when everyone had battleships and then it was drone lag from normal drones, now its fighter lag from carriers.
Its all the players Fault tbh, if a gang of 20 is camping your system why bring 50? all that happens is next time the gang of 20 brings 80 and so on until critical mass is attained and the server lags out and then its all cry on forums for nerfs.
Unfortunatly with CCP's changes to the way pos work and the fact you can spam systems with pos it makes territory wars so long and drawn out with so much firepower been needed to take down all these pos that alliances have no options but to bring as much to bear as possible, so out comes the uber cap ship fleet and down go all the pos, week later repeat in next system and so on and so on.
also the cyno jammer module really does not help in keeping numbers low in systems as the thing has a stupid ammount of structure and has to be taken down by conventional fleets.

Welcome to excuses online!
They only had 19 dreads. Dunno, my screen was not big enough to count (look at the scrollbars). Oh well, everyone tries to find his way to win, BoB/MC choose to win through superior tactics and skill
Seriously... Is this EVE fleet engagements nowadays? Have cap ship gone cookie cutter?
Damn, this game has gone down hill.
I agree. Makes the game bleh. I truly dont' care who wins the war now. I think it's *** personally. I log in just to train skills. I left IAC for a while just to do some actual small fleet combat for a while. I'm not a fan of 200 vs. 200 and node's crashing and the fact that those who have the higher SP you can never catch up. The game has gone redonkuluous.....this is nothing from IAC...just myself. Eve 4TL... The forums area actually funner then in game....lol.

/me hugs Seleene
I think your completely right. (omg an IAC agreeing with an mc ! hax ! )
With that said:
Originally by: Seleene Edited by: Seleene on 19/09/2007 11:01:07 If you don't have the tools to defend yourselves it's because you either lack the knowledge to use them properly or the will to risk losing them. Fortunately, we lack neither. Our toys don't stay in the box, we bring them out to play.
I dont think IAC lacks the knowledge about using our toys, but I do think (myself included) we dont have the will to lose them (in my case my Nyx) in an environment so lagged out that I have to pray to the heavens for my hardeners to activate, let alone actually kill someone.
If your then up against a ruthless enemy like McBob, who doesnt have that fear (most likely due to experience in such laggy environments). Your in trouble. ---

Whine. ASCN had like 200 carriers. D2 and the northern monkeys had a huge pile of dreads at their peak. We didn't get pushed out of 9-9 and 66- by capitals, it was mainly by Battlecruisers. Your ability to motivate your alliance members, manage logistics/ship replacement and, most importantly, have your allies turn up is what is lacking. There's no point stronting to Russian time if your Russian doesn't come rep the tower.
The coalition is in a very strong overall position right now, quit whinging and and do something constructive (by which I mean destructive, to us) in game.

Was it not IAC and -A- who continued to say bring it and bring your capitals to the fight the entire time before the attack actually started. I am sure I could find this quote more than 2 times if I bothered to look.
I guess you should watch what you wish for.

Lag and tactics can be argued until everybody's blue in the face, and you'll never come to any real resolution.
Seleene's main point about alliance willpower, however, can't be debated. In the end, it's willpower that wins wars. From that willpower, logistics are improved and better tactics are developed in the face of adversity. From that willpower, alliances stay together, buy themselves time to develop a real plan, and stick to the fight.
When that willpower collapses, that's when things go south. Goonswarm proved they had the willpower to survive BoB's initial onslaught and get where they are now, what, over a year later? MC proved they had the willpower to take some wicked hits in the North and perservere and succeed in their campaign. These two organizations couldn't be more opposite, but they both have willpower in spades and have demonstrated its virtues.
IAC can survive and even win this war. They have the allies, they have the numbers.
What remains to be seen is if they have the will.

Reading 3 pages and i still have no real clue as to what is really going on in FAT? Lots of complaints about cap blobs but not really much else. Someone give us a round about update on the status of the system? Are IAC loosing towers fast? Have AAA left IAC to die alone? Has the beer ran out yet?  _______________________________ [ 2007.06.07 21:07:22 ] FrankyWave > ransom me guys I am joining XElas !!! |

BOB/MS/FIX have reinforced a few towers but not yet enough to witch sov even when they get destroyed. A few skirmishes ensued yesterday but nothing really big as we cannot effectively counter their cap blob.

Edited by: Pilk on 19/09/2007 15:34:31 On "Capital Ships Online": Each time a new, bigger ship class is created (or comes into wide use), there are cries of "(x) Online!" First it was cruisers, then battleships, then capitals. Each of them started off as unique, unusual, exciting ships, like Titans at the moment. The idea of a fleet (30+) of Titans is quite literally game-breaking; with 30 Titans, you'd evaporate an armor-tanked dreadnought fleet. Then, they were put forth as oddities, equipped to handle special, unusual situations, and the idea of a fleet of them was laughed off as ridiculous. We're still, to some degree, at that point with supercapitals--the idea of a mothership fleet (30+) is still frankly terrifying, but we can see it coming down the road. Lastly, they became commonplace fleet tools, and the FC's adjusted to their presence, both friendly and enemy, on both sides of the battle. That is where the major 0.0 alliances are now with dreadnoughts and carriers.
Eve Online will always be (Biggest-commonly-used-ship) Online to those who don't have the werewithal to spend the time to learn how to fly that ship class (I'm talking player skills, not SP), acquire the isk to purchase one, and develop the strategies for deploying them as an FC. I'm happy that you spent a month training Large Artillery Specialization V and are unwilling to fly anything but a Tempest. But your Tempest is like an Interceptor or a Recon Ship now--something that I want in any fleet, but I'm not relying on you to be the core of my fleet. For better or for worse, right now, that's the capitals' job.
The Payoff for Reading All That: Here's a little capital-ship **** for ya. These are from our assault on 25S, next door to FAT.

BoB have 2 towers in system, MC have 1, IAC has lost 1 tower and a bunch more are in reinforced, they reinforced the jump bridge POS, station services have all been destroyed and we've been without a cyno jammer for a while.
That said, there hasn't really been much action so far so nothin to talk about really.

Pretty clear to me after the miserable failures that were Prohibition I & II that IAC has willpower and stamina in spades.  Maybe if we ran out of alcohol we'd be beatable, until then we can be knocked down, but not kept down.
