Rikkta Gallente Caldari Strike Force Ethereal Dawn	Posted - 2008.01.31 11:19:00 - [1] At the end of WW I Germany had an impressive fleet of dozens of battleships, hundreds of cruisers and destroyers, and a some would argue many of the best designed ships in the world at that time. At Skapa Flow the German admiral skuttled the entire navy--dozens of top line ships all sunk on purpose rather. There had been some talk before 11/11/18 of a giant battle where all the ships would die in battle but it wasn't to be. OK Here is my point. BOB's cap fleet--hundreds of well equipped carriers, MOMs, dreads, and titans... Will there be a cataclismic capital ship battle--the last battle so to speak, or will BOB have their own Skapa Flow in some forgot corner of Delve?
Dr Smythe Destructive Influence Band of Brothers	Posted - 2008.01.31 11:22:00 - [2] why do u people keep referring to EvE in RL contexts? Pixels for sale anyone?

Louis DelaBlanche Cosmic Odyssey YouWhat	Posted - 2008.01.31 11:24:00 - [5] Edited by: Louis DelaBlanche on 31/01/2008 11:27:46 I imagine, if & when it comes to it, most of bobs cap/suupercapfleet will simply cyno out to lowsec n either be used when they move somewhere else or dispeerse across the galaxy as & when they part ways. Epic cataclysmic battles rarely/never happen in EVE, theres never enough at stake to justify them. edit: & yeah the rl analogies do seem pretty thick on the ground this morning

Please do not post pictures of players in your sig - Mitnal "If all the heroes are standing together around a strange device and begin to taunt me, I¦ll just kill em all!"
Cippalippus Primus GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.01.31 11:36:00 - [7] Edited by: Cippalippus Primus on 31/01/2008 11:36:18 Fun fact about people making RL references, they don't have the slightest clue about what they're talking about. In this case, the OP couldn't even spell Scapa Flow correctly (with a C, not a K), and has only an extremely vague idea of what happened there. -clp
Asterixm Minmatar Altera Odyssea Tau Ceti Federation	Posted - 2008.01.31 11:40:00 - [8] Originally by: Rikkta Will there be a cataclismic capital ship battle--the last battle so to speak, or will BOB have their own Skapa Flow in some forgot corner of Delve? They will propably self destruct their cap fleet folowing RKK ceo in this way.
Captain Thunk Captain Morgan Society	Posted - 2008.01.31 11:49:00 - [9] Originally by: Rikkta OK Here is my point. BOB's cap fleet--hundreds of well equipped carriers, MOMs, dreads, and titans... Will there be a cataclismic capital ship battle--the last battle so to speak, or will BOB have their own Skapa Flow in some forgot corner of Delve? If they do, then I hope they are marked and set permanently into the system by the Devs. Would be nice background story for future players to go visit the final resting place of a dead alliance (this is assuming BoB were to do this which they won't - I'm not saying BoBs dead already)

They will propably self destruct their cap fleet folowing RKK ceo in this way. Will probs put the entire cap fleet into a capital ship array then loose sov so it goes offline. Then decide to pop the array to get them out causing the loss of the ships. This is something CORM did a while back
Jacinta Bracken Total Mayhem.	Posted - 2008.01.31 11:59:00 - [14] The battle for Delve is a bit like the Battle of the River Plate, Stalingrad and the Berlin Blockade all rolled into one tbqfh

Hey, why not ask him? I'm sure he'll be delighted to explain what happened.

Thargat Caldari North Star Networks Triumvirate.	Posted - 2008.01.31 12:20:00 - [20] Edited by: Thargat on 31/01/2008 12:21:12 Actually... this whole episode reminds me a bit of something from history class though I can't recall what. The russians with support of huge manpower grinding in from the east. The allies from the first conflict standing on the borders in the north (should be north west but it's close enough) And a former ally in the South letting the hostiles march in. Their leaders sitting in a bunker somewhere rambling about how the entire world is against them. oh and btw: I watched the movie "Downfall" recently ;p There's only one sig that matters... and that's Radius.

Shayleigh Snowflower DarkStar 1 GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.01.31 12:44:00 - [25] Hmm. I do believe that the wounded tiger can make it's way through Fountain and force-march into the old D2 lands. That would totaly destroy the RSF push, as there are no railroad tracks up that way. In there, in the cold and icy north, I am fairly sure BOB can rebuild, and maybee even be able to claim a new station in time. Back or front?Both ways are fine by me.
Shayleigh Snowflower GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.01.31 12:48:00 - [26] Originally by: Meja Edited by: Meja on 31/01/2008 12:06:01 Originally by: Doc Punkiller no. more like "22:31:49 Notify Archon belonging to Galavet self-destructs." you know the drill? proof or stfu edit : got a proof, like colsup then, great I saw it with my own eyes. It totaly made my day because him selfdestructing where like, 10 times better than blowing him up, and I do believe someone are doing unspeakable things to the ice cube with biomass left in the pods debris.
