I log on today and find out Blood Blind had an historically succesful victory last night.
I think this explains it all.
Very good fight it seems and id like to extend my condolences and gratitude to Cabalistical Technologies and company.
Im gobsmacked at the fight tbh, 10 battleships + falcon/bb vs 6 battleships no ecm and little support.
I further extend a big pat on the back to Di Canio for some awesome Fleet Command. Well done all.
Seems ECCM does work 
Lambast me all you wish for giving you this post, but i am personally very impressed with such an astonishing victory.
-10 all the way

The Deimos pilot was in a battleship to start off with and lost that then came back in another battleship and got popped again and then came back in his Hac at the end of the engagement which ran off as the rest of his buddies died.

Think you might wanna look at that board again kessah,the 2 caracals,moa,mauler,cormorant,megathron and badger werent in our gang so it was more like 10 vs 14, secondly 1 of your geddons didnt post his lossmail
http://angeldeep.griefwatch.net/?p=details&kill=2465
Add to that,the other geddon jumped into high sec to avoid getting killed, and the fight suddenly comes out alot fairer eh?(BTW,not sure if it was that other geddon pilot,but i saw a Blood Corsairs amarr BS Wreck in litiura)
Still,Good fight to you guys,hoping next time i'l survive until i load the grid =)

Posting in a epic victory thread.
Actually, I was looking for this thread, was kind of expecting it to have a title similar to this, "Anti-Pirate Blob Thwarted!"
Short battle report from my point of view, highlighting details that would ultimately lead up to the failure.
I am not here to twist facts or spin the situation. What I saw last night was nothing less than a failure in its most raw and disgusting state. It was an utter disappointment and just a general sad state of affairs which I hope will never be displayed ever again from our part.
Very rarely do I ever see a gang of Blood Blind pirates with the numbers and lack of ECM where we could actively engage without a promising slaughter until last night. A fairly small gang of Blood Blind pirates(by their own standards) made a very routinely trip to Passari to camp the Litiura gate. Their smaller-size and lack of ECM which they heavily use if not depend on triggered a response from local anti-pirate figureheads in the area. Immediately a gang was formed up of the following:
Hyperion, Raven, Raven, Domi, Domi, Rokh, Rokh, Falcon, Caracal, Maller, Blackbird, Megathron, and Typhoon.
Against a fairly support(mainly bc's/hac) heavy gang of blood blind pirates. So how could one lose against a gang of that size with a gang of our size which was mainly battleship heavy? Well the following would best explain what issues we suffered from in the fight.
1.) Lack of organization/communication - Our gang's members entered the battle at different points throughout the beginning of the fight. The first entrances being made by Drago, Ethn, and angeleyes jumping from Litiura....with two others(Me and Tarin) already in Passari arriving shortly after them and the larger amount of the gang coming in last from Mara. This resulted in the Blood Blind gang being able to effeciently focus fire while under very little opposing fire and essentially downing three of our battleships within 2 minutes of the fight.
2.) Lag - One the first pilots to die did not even load grid, others had hard times activating modules, desynching and/or loading damage to their ship.
Both of the above problems resulted in a large amount and most of our gang dps being handicapped early on in the fight. One might argue, "Why have the entrances so random?" Well I guess we underestimated the firepower of the opposing gang and the beginning ships were running active tanks where the repairers could not keep up with the amount of damage they were taking.
From that point forward it was mainly a slugfest with their gang having the ability to kill us quicker than we had the ability to kill them. So slowly but surely, our gang was losing more and more ships which resulted in less and less dps on targets. Now one might say "Well if you were getting your butts kicked so badly, why continue to get slaughtered and not try to regroup, retreat and try again?", to that I would respond, "Good question."
We were ultimately outmatched, though the gangs were fairly even the first few mistakes heavily affected the outcome as we lost 3 battleships within the first minute, heh we lost a battleship before any other gang member arrived on the scene. We underestimated their dps and we also overestimated our ships' abilities to tank them. In some cases we were outmatched just by the type of experience and modules/fitting some of our key gang members had fitted.
We also depended just a little to heavy on our falcon and blackbird's ability to support our gang, that ability which was shortened by a crafty vagabond and raven...
At the last point it was basically two battleships vs. the entire blood blind gang minus 4 bs's and a cruiser.
It was overall a very bad battle for us; I will give Blood Blind credit as much as I hate to  , there are no excuses just mistakes that we can try our best to iron out but the damage has been done and there is no reversing the embarassment.

Unfortunately no banjos were recovered after the fight, so the operation was only a partial success

Sounds like it was a good fight. But are you serious? "...Blood Blind had an historically succesful victory last night" Was this fight really that epic? Is this the defining battle of your corporation? You have done what many corporations/alliances do daily...fight out numbered and out gunned and succeed. Hardly the achievment your making it out to be, but regardless, congrats on the fight and the victory. Perhaps next time you might consider being a tad more gracious in your success.

Trust me, they didn't fight outnumbered and definitely not outgunned.

I'd like to point out, that this is exactly the same as what your Hyperion pilot did.
But I agree with Trepko's post, pretty accurate account of the battle. From my point of view, it all came down to the other part being too poorly organized. But hats off to you guys for going in balls first

I would like to point out that there is a pretty big difference between jumping out and dying to concord to deny your enemy a killmail compared to jumping out to save your ship.

Well this was a fun thread.
Lots to reply to but im not going to, because replying to any would be like sticking my balls in a vice and asking angry truckers to flick them with elasticated tow cables while my nipples were repeatedly electricuted...
...sure that *sounds* fun, but somehow it just isnt my way to spend a sunday night.
il go for the next best thing and have the thread locked due to people not playing nice.
Mr mods please take all the enjoyment you want from locking yet another C&P thread... damn you guys have it hard!

It's quite possible he was unaware his back was to a highsec gate, and thought he was jumping out to save his ship. I've done that, too
