FSW-3C -- four days ago, BoB forces entered Providence through Catch with the goal of removing the cynosural system jammer located in FSW-3C. With the destruction of the jammer, BoB forces jumped in capital ships, and placed two POSs into reinforced. On Friday the 21st, forces from both sides began forming for the upcoming battle.
The combined Providence forces of CVA, PXF, LFA, SYLPH, and others engaged BoB forces as they entered the system from Catch, causing both sides losses. Fighting would continue on and off for the rest of the night at the second of the two POSs that had been put into reinforced, where the jammer was located (the first was repped up before fighting commenced).
By the end of the battle, over 325 ships had been destroyed in the system, 143 pod kills, and "the little control tower that could" had racked up over 60 kills. Props to both sides of the fight, it seems like we all had a lot of fun. o7

We took out over 70+ enemy ships in one fleet battle alone, and there were two (or three, depending on how you're counting) major fleet battles. We held the field after both, and looted so much that we literally ran out of room.
At the end of the day, your tower is a truly-frightening beast, and we simply didn't have the numbers to take it down. Kudos to your POS gunners, who did yeoman's work, and to whoever set up that POS. That said, if losing 60 ships to your POS means that we get to kill another 100+ of yours in multiple balls-to-the-wall, heavily-outnumbered fleet battles, I frankly think we should attack FSW again tomorrow. And to all the carriers-blobs-are-how-they-win naysayers, note that MC/BoB/FIX/AXE/friends fought without benefit of capital support, while Paxton had multiple carriers, yet we still managed to carry the day in both non-POS engagements.
Congratulations on the successful defense of your system, and thanks for the fights. It was a blast.

Am I willing to allow an unimportant enemy to hold sov in an unimportant, non-station system if it means that every time I jump in, I'm warping into PvP Happy Land(TM)? Yes.
If it were a system I cared about? I'd be a lot more upset. As it stands, it was an awesome battle, and nobody (from either side) came away upset, I think. Both sides lost a bunch of ships, and had fun doing it. Some days, Eve is hard work. Today, it was a great game.

Whatever side fields Milojko wins (at least in terms of fun)...Good work Paxton.
Well played both sides it seems, and thanks to BoB for not nicking off with my abandoned Megathron, but waiting for me to re-board it so I could collect my insurance. Very noble of you.

Out of context, sir. The full quote is, "yet we still managed to carry the day in both non-POS engagements." I.e., we won the fleet battles, in one case with not a single loss, even though--I readily admit--we didn't accomplish our primary objective in the system.

You appear to have missed the part where I mentioned that this is an unimportant, non-station system that's not in our primary area of operation right now.
If IAC retakes 25S, or defends FAT- over the next few weeks, I'll feel like we might not still have momentum behind us. As it stands, we "fell back" to dock in a station that was IAC's as of a week or so ago. I think that pretty much says it all.

The op did a pretty good job with a general battle report, anyone able to give a more detailed one for those of us in the cheap seats?
This sorta stuff is pretty cool and we love hearing a non-biased battle report that lets us know how the 0.0 stuff happens.
Just a request, thank you to anyone who can give some details to this.

Hmm, I went back and found one spot where I appeared to be smacking, and updated the post accordingly. It was certainly not my intention to smack anyone or to "spin" anything, I just felt that the OP presented a view that was not indicative of the true flow of the battle as I saw it. I believe I have said, early and often, that we failed at our primary goal of taking down the cynosural jammer. I nonetheless feel, however, that the fight was a good one, and that we walked away victors in a different sense than the one for which we were aiming when the order came to form up a gang.
If, however, some portion of my responses can be misinterpreted as smack, please point to where I have made such a mistake, and I will correct it.

Don't lower yourself to the flaming. If anything, Paxton proved that properly manned and managed POS guns and a fighting spirit are 100% more effective at combatting Alliance forces than hardener spam.
It was a good fight. Alliance got their superior kill ratio, Paxton kept the jammer alive and refuelled/repped their POS. Why can't it be left at that? It's all a drop in the bucket compared to what's been in this grand war and what will be.

The sad thing is I've never once said they were overpowered. I think they need more HP now a`days to be quite @#$%ing honest, and I repair the things perrty much every day!
But that's just me. I don't honestly mind repping when I know the things I've repped will cause McBoB ships to explode later.
Carry on with those fighter swarm blobs though, let me know how well that goes taking down POS's! rofl

That was one of my most fun nights in EVE ever.
Props to BoB for bringing it. They were seriously outnumbered on their first wave yet still went in guns blazin'
The battle broke down like this.
CVA, Paxton, Sylph and other Providence forces were starting to form up as we knew BoB would try and take out the cynojammer and the POS they has put into reinforced earlier in the week.
This process was stiill underway when a BoB gang was reported enroute.
As you can imagine we rushed stuff into place and initial coordinating the various groups was 'fun' to say the least
Anyway BoB got into the system unmolested and shortly after an engagement happened at one of the gates where it is fair to say we got pwned for a variety of reason but primarily because BoB FC capitalised ruthlessly on our mistakes.
BoB shortly after commenced attacking POS.
BoB were well organised and their pilots well drilled in aligning out and warping away as soon as targeted by POS. Our POS gunners coordinated with Dictors and Ceptors to try and trap a few as anything that was locked by tower and didn't warp out within 30 secs was dead meat.
Over the next 30/45 minutes BoB attacked the cynojammer mercilessly but variety of bubbles, tackles, bumps, lag etc. meant that gradually BoB fleet was being whittled down by our POS gunners. I think they lost around 10 BS in this first assault on tower. CVA and friends losses were also high particularly in terms of tacklers as the BoB fleet had a lot of 'anti-tackle' support (HACs/Recons etc.) which was very well organised. Neverthless our tacklers launched themselves like kamikazes at the BoB fleet - one particular pilot losing nine interdictors over the course of the evening .
Anyway with the cyno jammer reduced to 95% armor it became clear to BoB that they were gradually being worn down and they didn't have the firepower to take down the cynojammer and they retreated to their own POS for a bit.
CVA and friends used the opportunity to regroup and reship.
Shortly after we had word that BoB support had warped to gate and our FC called in conventional fleet to attack them. As this fight kicked off we had word that an additional 50 BoB had just jumped into the next system and we extricated ourselves off the gate with some losses (not as bad as first gate fight fortunately).
The new BoB/MC/FIX/AXE jumped into the system and reinforced their first wave. Shortly after they attacked the POS again. Again friendly tacklers threw themselves at the enemy as POS Gunners worked hard to whittle BoB fleet down.
Friendly snipers warped in but for a variety of reasons (which are best left discussed on internal forums) lingered in a spot too long and BoB capitalised on this and brought the pain.
Over the next 90 minutes BoB relentlessy attacked the POS (both guns and cynojammer). As I said on vent:
"I now know what it must have been like at Rourke's Drift (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rorke s_Drift) as BoB ferociously attacked the tower over and over again.
Many BoB pilots were called primary time after time (i.e Cardassius ) only to warp away in heavy armor or structure to repped by BoB support before coming back into the fight.
However, while BoB suceeded in diabaling a few guns (we had some spare) they were again being slowly worn away by the POS guns as the POS gunners slowly developed better tactics. From my perspective a turning point was reached when BoB caught a CVA carrier outside the shields. A lot of BoB support and firepower concentrated on the carrier - which was webbed down to 1.3m/s. This meant that some BoB support took their eye off the ball in terms of aligning out and when POS guns finally started focusing on the guys webbing carrier about 5/6 went down in quick succession.

Eventually BoB were down to approximately 15 serviceable battleships and many of these had structure damage (I think Tholarim must have had about 1% structure after his sole turn as POS primary )
With the cynojammer still at around 80% armor and no appreciable impact on the guns (I think they disabled two) the BoB fleet finally retreated - much to the relief of the defenders.
During this entire 4 hour period not one word was spoken in local by either side!
The POS that could: http://kb.lx2gt.lu/?a=pilot_detail&plt_id=2349&view=kills
This report from a BoB elsewhere is a pretty decent and fair roundup on the action:
Originally by: Perpello
The Alliance fleet made life difficult for itself by not bringing in enough battleships to begin with, although a second group bought extra battleships into FSW it still wasn't enough and many had already been lost. Too many support ships, essentially.
One CVA Chimera, Corrado McFredric, was caught outside the shield and webbed heavily preventing immediate return inside the shield. The Chimera was nicely tanked, it still went down to under 50% shield before the POS gunners got the webbing ship down and saved the Chimera.
The CVA sniper fleet warped at range 170km to us outside the POS, the Alliance fleet aligned toward the CVA fleet and warped to a gang member at close range to the CVA fleet and engaged. So many Abaddons!
In the end, we didn't have the firepower to take out all the POS guns and the jammer and decided to return home. The POS shield was at that time still down at around 35-40% after coming out of reinforced and hadn't been re-stronted yet.
That Paxton POS is fairly nasty; the POS gunners did a goob job and with all the support especially countless interdictor pilots helped to prevail tonight.
Will the Alliance strike back for round #2? Wait and see.
The only thing that wasn't mentioned by anyone so far was that Providence forces also had a reasonable number of carriers and dreads in system but these were held in reserved pretty much unused apart from repping duties after BoB had retreated.
From Alliance perspective yes they got a lot of kills and they are probably happy with that. 
From our perspective we saved cynojammer and and tower and got a hell of a lot of useful experience and we are happy with that. 
From and in-character perspective I will sum up with a couple of appropriate words:

Originally by: Pilk We took out over 70+ enemy ships in one fleet battle alone, and there were two (or three, depending on how you're counting) major fleet battles. We held the field after both, and looted so much that we literally ran out of room.
At the end of the day, your tower is a truly-frightening beast, and we simply didn't have the numbers to take it down. Kudos to your POS gunners, who did yeoman's work, and to whoever set up that POS. That said, if losing 60 ships to your POS means that we get to kill another 100+ of yours in multiple balls-to-the-wall, heavily-outnumbered fleet battles, I frankly think we should attack FSW again tomorrow. And to all the carriers-blobs-are-how-they-win naysayers, note that MC/BoB/FIX/AXE/friends fought without benefit of capital support, while Paxton had multiple carriers, yet we still managed to carry the day in both non-POS engagements.
Congratulations on the successful defense of your system, and thanks for the fights. It was a blast.
--P
...so you'd rather fail your objectives and get some easy kills than, you know... win? No wonder you're on bob's side!
Am I willing to allow an unimportant (i.e., not our primary target) enemy to hold sov in an unimportant, non-station system if it means that every time I jump in, I'm warping into PvP Happy Land(TM)? Yes.
If it were a system I cared about? I'd be a lot more upset. As it stands, it was an awesome battle, and nobody (from either side) came away upset, I think. Both sides lost a bunch of ships, and had fun doing it. Some days, Eve is hard work. Today, it was a great game.
--P
Edits in gold.
Ummm...this makes little no sense. Not only does your view on whether or not it matters have 0 weight on the big picture as a whole,...but if it didnt matter the system wouldnt of been sieged in the first place. Unless of course, the aim was to go and lose 60 ships for absolutely no reason. Its not like you guys have been at war for a long time and the losses on your side matter much more than the other sides...o wait.

We haven't really had any issues taking out a pos cyno jammer... all it requires is a bunch of battleships to stay alert, a pit crew flying TEE-ONE logistics cruisers and staying aligned.
I don't think we've ever managed to lose 60 ships to a single pos.

Edited by: Cassius Hawkeye on 22/09/2007 09:51:32 Excellent report Hardin. Couldn't have put it better, and from my perspective in the opposing fleet you got a lot of assumptions spot on.
Was a great evening of fun - iw as in the "support" fleet that came up for the 2nd wave, and the fight outside the pos shields (where we managed to catch a large number of BS's) was a lot of fun and very very intense. The kamakazi dictor pilots were brilliant fun to watch.
Weaving my vagabond in and out between about 40 battleships trying to tackle support was brilliant. Later on my trusty vaga also managed to get primaried by the pos guns 4 times, twice when not aligned, and escaped each time. <3 it.
We looted a lot of gear, and at the end, popped a lot of the wrecks still with loot on the field for good measure. Next time i'm coming in a BS though 
A big gratz to Paxton/CVA and their allies for defending their objective. Amazing commitment! -----------------------------------------

Keep in mind we've lost a ridiculous amounts of ships since MC got their titan and we're still fielding decent fleets every day. Anyone who says IAC doesn't bring it is either ignorant or trying his hand at forum propaganda.
We're obviously not as competent or dedicated as CVA, RA, or AAA, but frankly neither is BoB.

Because you lead the attack all by yourself right bobbits? Last time I checked, your alliance is bigger than IAC's and you still need all your pets to tag along.

Our people were all in tacklers and did what was neccessary to ensure that the cyno jammer survived. After the burden of implants had been taken from them some people entered a strange kind of berserker frenzy and kept asking for Executioners to go back in.
The cost in flesh was high but I am proud of the fierce determination to throw back this assault. If ramming the enemy in pods would help these people would have gone for it.

The funny thing is, FSW is very important for BOBÆs little war in catch. That of course is why Paxton with help from all there friends, should be proud of themselves! Beyond that, provi, is great area to be in, I always had lots of fun and friends there.
What is not being said here, is although BOB and bob pets are also fighting in FSW for there jump point to catch. they are also fighting and have lost towers in provi, over the last few weeks.
And although I was not there, I understand they lost a lowsec pos too. regardless, if it is only spin or whatever, those pilots who are fighting BOB, understand that things are going well and not as bad as BOB would have everyone believe. This fight will go on for a long while, and I for one think we will persevere. It was a great fight last night, and I am looking forward to many more!

Good battle report Hardin, always liked reading yours (go join in all of IAC's so we can have similar reports all the time plz!)
To CVA, IAC and friends/allies keep it up. I have friends in many of those alliances and some good pew pew goes a long way.
Not really sure why BoB went and opened up a 3rd front with CVA and gang, I can understand the jump points and such. But is stirring up a hornets nest of a few thousand people really something they want to do atm when goons are in the east, IAC/AAA is in the north-east and now CVA-others are in the Northern areas and a bit angry?
I can understand the search for good fights and pew pew, but this really is alot of fronts. Even BoB community has to be saying 'god damn, alot of brush fires going on.' while yes, at the same time some of them are saying "W00t fights-a-paloza!"
Btw, I feel very sorry for the logistics ppl in BoBs faction, they must be cursing you horribly!

@ Tyrax , get off your high horse or do you need more local gems made by you about being a smacktard?
All you do is come out with generalisations about entire alliances and pathetic insults that insinuate you are a high level of human being in comparison to them. You come out with comments of people being completely clueless and fail to even back up your own.
Not to mention the fact that you tell people like tyrax... an alliance leader to get off his high horse, when your just a mere member following orders passed down to you by your seniors.
Every post you make is just you trying to pretend your higher than you are.
Oh btw, nice report hardin, enjoyed it, sounds like a mighty fine POS . ------------------

Was a great fight and both sides respected each other after it. (which is rare after an ingagement). I lost 2 battleships and a couple of inty's but they are small for what was gained in this.
To BOB i say great team work on your part and your FC deserves a pat on the back. I admit i had little or no respect for before this battle but that has changed slightly now . All tho numbers in kills where on BOBs side i feel it was a provi victory as we saved the jammer and pos.
To my CVA brothers and our friend you perfomed a great duty and unselfishly threw wave after wave of shps at the foes (not many ppl would do that and most would roll over and fade away NOT US) Our POS gunners deserve massive Kudos and our FC's.
Great fight all and let try and keep this thread at that stop the smack and let stay on wat the thread is about. Which is good fight and respect on both sides for that.

Paxton & Allies - I don't give a damn how many ships you lost (and it was a lot) but the tower still stands and that is a win for you. Period. I said as much in local last night as we left. That tower is an almost mirror copy of 'Natalie', the Dark Blood tower that MC has in FAT. IAC felt her wrath yesterday and I figured it would be a nasty battle last night going up against her sister.
In the end, we simply lacked the numbers and the fight went on for too long. There were some excellent fleet fights and the lag was actually not bad at all for many of us. Maybe we'll be back, maybe we won't. I had fun and got to jump through gates and everything last night! \o/  -

We are not on Coalition side - we are on IAC side.
This was clearly demonstrated today as United Legion took the opportunity to pod a few of our pilots returning from FAT on their way home

Actually, Paxton and friends failed miserably, the control tower just proved how out of balance POS warfare is becoming... Something even goons complain about on here.
Take your whines about gameplay to MSN.
isn't it funny how some people advocate both GTC<=>ISK trades and EVE being superior due to its cruelty and costly losses, when they use the former to circumvent the latter?

Bitter much? 
Unity was lost through spamming , CVA saw an easy route and took it , hence the bitterness that leaves a foul taste . If it had been taken by strategy and good fights then the bitterness would never have appeared . After the loss ,the spam , the bitterness has now been replaced by relief . Our small alliance held Unity for longer than anyone expected , that in itself was a victory and even to this day we are still a force to be reckoned with . It maybe politically correct to call us terrorists or pirates to justify the events that took place at our loss ? , but we learned to adapt and nobody can say we havent adapted well . We continue our Burn Providence policy !! .

Bahaha. Archived for later use.
It seems the only time something is imbalanced and overpowered is when BoB has trouble dealing with it.
omfg roflmao the ironoy is so bad it hurts. I sometimes wonder if these kinda ppl are the type that go on x-factor and are absolutly terrible but are adament there better than madonna lmao.
Sorry to smack in ure well written thread. Im so ****ed i missed the scrap sounds like great fun on both sides gj pax on a well organised defende of ure pos :)
The sad thing is I've never once said they were overpowered. I think they need more HP now a`days to be quite @#$%ing honest, and I repair the things perrty much every day!
But that's just me. I don't honestly mind repping when I know the things I've repped will cause McBoB ships to explode later.
Carry on with those fighter swarm blobs though, let me know how well that goes taking down POS's! rofl
hehe
I would rather fight bob than old friends. personal feelings aside |

In my opinion U'K has fought CVA & Friends long and hard over the past few years. I don't think there's many wars that has been going on for so long or with such a fervor on both sides.
Many people have expressed their admiration of the capabilities of CVA & Friends in this thread and others. I do believe that whatever our capabilities are, they have been honed through that long and (RP wise) bitter war. I do not think that CVA would be what it is today had it not been for U'K. You certainly deserve a lot of respect for that.
On a sidenote, I (and many others) did feel very sad that U'K came to the 0.0 Providence war with different expectations than CVA which ultimately led to the 9UY debacle. I'm glad to hear that you have overcome it and are prospering again.
OOC I wish you the best of luck. IC I wish you may all burn in whatever version of hell we Amarr believe in.

Geez I hate you all, hearing about the well timed shield reppers/warpouts, the flying a vaga in POS range to tackle support and warpouts four times when being primaried...
... my computer's too crappy to be able to do that, even with all the settings minimal. Geez I lag on 10 v 10 fights let alone neato massive battles.
Hate you... all.

The reasons for the bitterness has been debated at length at other places and there's no reason to start it over again.
Short version is that U'K kept allies outside the fight in the beginning while CVA got alliances we had never even heard of to help them out. CVA's diplomacy skills were obviously much better than U'K's.
CVA couldn't kill U'K's towers and spammed the system with their own (perfectly legit) and U'K didn't want to/couldn't do that and basically left 9UY to CVA. +1 outpost to CVA. Congrats.
After that most of U'K thought "**** CVA, we don't care about them anyway" and that's when the oldest conflict in EVE died. At least that's my opinion. The official U'K version may be different.
CVA are good fighters and seldom smack (one sure as hell do, but most of us have him blocked by now) and used to be fun to fight. I'm not surpriced that MCBOBFIX had trouble killing them. It's not easy.
The loss of Unity station wasn't a bad thing for us as it was both expected and tied us into carebearing. It's much more fun not having to defend it.
All of this are my personal thoughts and may not be the official U'K version.

Paxton's side, of exactly this story is easy explained. When we came to the area a long time ago, the CVA did not shoot my people, but the UK did, despite claiming doing NRDS. At that time we were small, like a corp with 5-10 active members, and neutral to everyone. The CVA let us become, what we are now.
Nobody ever asked us to help in that conflict. We offered help on our own. The UK made picking a side really easy for us. -- Hello World. |

This issue is non existent let it die. Good fight was had, both then and now. Congrats PXF on a well designed PoS setup and to BoB/Friends for bringing it. I for one anxiously await your next trip into lower Providence.

Well people were saying it was a good fight, to me this automatically means that McBob didn't ruin the node with 1000 fighters.
If you guys want to flex your fleet muscles then do so like this, or at least without 50+ carriers/moms. People know why McBob monopolizes the field when they produce unplayable lag with such a tactic. When neither side can actually play, AI wins. And whoever brings more AI wins.
Your fighter-blob tactic is smart but don't look for any high fives, it still ruins the game for those who can't do a damn thing when your cloud of drones is ruining their ****.
Because posting on the forums is serious business. |

It's not a tactic about which we templed our fingers and laughed maniacally, it's the result of a fundamental bedrock of Eve: people tend to want to fly their biggest, shiniest toy. If dreadnoughts did a damn bit of good in a fleet battle, we'd be flying those, instead.
Additionally, many of our side's top PvPers (/me looks at Seleene and Stradivarious, for example) are now in motherships, from which they cannot swap out into another ship. So they're going to tend to formulate strategies, and FC's who want to involve them are going to tend to use strategies, that maximize the effectiveness of multiple motherships on the field. Once that happens, it's usually pretty straightforward that the only thing better than 5 moms on the field is 5 moms and 20 carriers.
I'm not saying the result is always ideal--if you've ever tried to launch a flight of drones in the middle of a fleet battle, you'd know the lag is just as bad, if not worse, for the carriers--but it's a logical, predictable outcome based on well-known player tendencies and the game mechanics as they currently stand.
