Last night, the Coalition of Deklain joined forces with the RSA an an attempt to back them up. Last night, they took both took heavy losses, 4 BS from one large fleet battle plus a collection of ships around the map here and there. No friendly forces were lost.
Tonight, forces from NORAD/DSIN/RKK/CELEST moved on the forces of RSA again. In response to us moving up, RSA again called in reinforcements from the FE. There proceeded a collection of fights around FADE...
Fight 1 An estimated FE/RSA/C0D force of around 15 ships were camping the lc-307 > C4c gate. Around 30 ships from NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK jumped on top of them. The early battle at close range was brutal, both sides giving it their all. Both sides were losing ships and the numerical advantage of the NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK forces started to pay off. Then FE warped out and warped back in at 60km, moving to a premium range for them. Although they had a numerical disadvantage overall, they had an electronic warfare advantage. Using their highly trained target calling skills, they quickly dispatched the remainder of the NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK forces dampening and jamming ships. The battle had begun to swing largely in favour of the FE. Five jumps out, a back-up fleet of 10 RKK members was on it's way. We got their just in time as the fight looked to be swaying FE's way. With the numerical advantage and electronic warfare advantage back in our favour, we proceeded to force the FE to regroup. We pulled back to the station and counted our losses.
Approx scores from fight 1: NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK forces 5 BS lost
FE/RSA/C0D forces 3 BS lost
Fight 2 Fight 2 was actually a small engagement as we were regrouping. We had heard that FE/RSA/C0D were attacking the station in c4c so we went to defend it. We jumped into the station but the small fleet there pulled back. We engaged 3 BS at the sun, killing them all.
Approx scores from fight 2: NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK forces 0 BS lost
FE/RSA/C0D forces 3 BS lost
Fight 3 After we regrouped again in c4c, we sent scouts in to see what was happening in lc-307. By this point, both sides had lost some pilots due to ship loss, late night logging and things were starting to even up. Our side still had the numerical advantage. Lc-307 was camped out by the remainder of the FE/RSA/C0D fleet. We felt it was suicidal to jump into their fleet a second time but decided to go for it anyway. Upon jumping in, we lost two CELEST BS and the rest of us engaged the forces there. We killed two FE/RSA/C0D BS and the rest pulled out again to regroup.
Approx scores from fight 3: NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK forces 2 BS lost
FE/RSA/C0D forces 2 BS lost
At this point, we held at the gate for a while but then decided to move back down to empire as people were beginning to log. The last I heard FE/RSA/C0D forces had regrouped en masse and recovered their stations in Fade.
A great night of fighting, although pretty even in the end. The fight was initially laggy for Fight 1 for those at the start due to the mass amount of people involved but I personally didn't have any problems at all.
I was impressed by FE's ability to overturn a larger force and start to get on top, and if it wasn't for the fact that a RKK force was manouvering up behind them, it could have turned into a rout like the last battle we fought did.
This is however, the first time we have managed to put together numbers to counter the FE and it is also the first time I have seen the FE move away from a fleet battle. So tonight was a good night for our forces involved regardless of the fact that the scores were even.
Thanks to Blacklight, Toulak, Galavet, Celest (not sure who was leading), Darwin and Mongo Peck.
Was fun guys, look forward to it again.

Edited by: DB Preacher on 28/03/2004 02:08:41 looks like I might have got the scores from the second fight incorrect, any confirmation from either side would be good :)
I know that FE confirmed 3 BS losses, but I couldn't get a confirmation from RSA or C0D on their BS losses.
We confirmed a total of 7 losses from all friendly forces.

I can confirm that xtal and RIot died... and I';m pretty sure that a lot of other FE Bs's died as well in that first fight.
We definitely lost more than 5 BS's.
There were 5 BNC cans floating at one point, at that was near the end of the fight before RKK jumped through.

Edited by: Toulak on 28/03/2004 02:18:21 Add another [F-E] loss from earlier in the day.
Stardog - Scorpion.
Got a lil too*****y, warping in and out of the station in c4c and was hunted down and promptly ganked. 
As to the battles, wicked fights, the first battle was great, apart from the lag, although with the mixed forces we had put together, and not everyone ganged in the chaos (We had around 60 people) we had some friendly fire issues 
And mad props to the no smacktalk.

I was only counting BS kills. I think there were some cruiser/frigate kills on either side as well.
I had a confirmed 7 BS kills from our side and 3 BS from FE, I reckoned between 5-8 BS from c0d/RSA

Edited by: Blacklight on 28/03/2004 02:30:47 Was an excellent afternoon/evening of fighting. Congrats to all who took part on both sides & the lack of smack in local was great.
I can confirm BNC/HMMI lost 3 BS in the fighting, including all 3 engagements and probably 3-4 cruisers/frigs (who really stood no chance given the size and ferocity of the fleet engagements). The only enemy kills I can confirm 100% were the 2 CoD BS our patrol nailed in K4YZ-Y as I personally saw them go down and saw their pods.
The location of the first fight was actually in L-C307 at the O1Y-ED gate. We'd had a comic moment just prior to the battle where our forces had jumped into O1Y-ED to engage FE the very second they jumped into L-C307 (not sure if this was deliberate or coincidental, if deliberate it was a great move to join forces with the RSA guys, if it was coincidence then it provided some entertainment!).
A very objective battle report by DB, I'd personally have ladled on the melodrama a little bit more especially for the first fight which was just an enormous display of fireworks and ordanance!
Anyway, it was all top fun and hopefully everyone really enjoyed it. Big respect to the commanders on our side and all the troops who took part.

Yeah, that's a fair point, I could only give my view of things and since I was in the backup force, I missed the first half of fight, and had to rely on other guys in the fight's comments.
Anyone wishes to write a bit of a longer post on the first fight, go for it...
Would especially like to hear from the enemies point of view as the fights can look different depending on your side

I can confirm the "system swap" was planned by Darwin and "luckly" it went to plan ...
I spent 50% of the battle "jammed" (thanks DBP) and the other lagged to death trying to use a second account to bring up "much needed" ammo ...
Great hard battle, little smack and respect to all.

Shame about the lag, I can honestly say I had none at all but I had guys on TS saying stuff like "target so-and-so" and I was like "erm dude they warped out 30 seconds ago", so I guess there was plenty lag.
Damn good fights though and the lack of smack talk made it for me today, was actually a real pleasure from start to finish.
Looking forward to the next one ;)

Wow, 79 ships in local, the sky a nightmare of missles and tachyons going every direction.
So many names on the scanner, my wife had to locate the called targets.
Great time. I think the main battle lasted at least 45 minutes, with skirmishes breaking out at planets occupied by pilots recharging shields.
I need to upload the screen caps.  --------------

I was one of the BB doing the EW thing. It was a very nice fight but the lag was horrid. At one moment everything froze for me and the next thing i was in my pod.
Lost a BB and got away 
And yes at the first battle it was 75 local with only around 20 FE/RSA/C0D

yes great fight,great night:)
The lag was horrific in first part , i had a slideshow.
It was like activating a module and seeing it work in 3-5 seconds.
Got away with around 14 % armour at one point
Was also funny to meet pilots recharging at moons , sometimes form enemie side.

Yeah, the lag was making things a little dicey for those of us unfortunate enough to be in cruisers - other than the obvious problem large volumes of missiles pose! Still a fun evening, and the lack of smack was a credit to both sides.
I for one appreciated the recent changes to rookie ships warp distances on the way home...  ______

i lost a griffin after irritating mongo peck too much with some cruise... mental note, griffins are *not* fast enough to escape missiles :<
an excellent and fun fight though, with respect shown on all sides :)
i have 3gb of uncompressed fraps footage to look through, unfortunately most of it was running at 1-2fps, but you can expect a video soon from our resident film guru :)

That was absolutely the best time I have had.
I eventually had to warp-off once someone obviously called me as a target.. and this is what I'm impressed with:
I recharged my shields and cap for a couple of mins and then went back to battle. As soon as I got back and the lag caught-up, I had 4-5 enemies locking me again.. got off a few shots, and had to warp-out again..
I then warped back in from a different angle and range.. and there I was getting locked-up AGAIN, almost immediately after returning.
Now whoever it was on the enemy side that was coordinating the targeting of warp-ins, I'd have to say that it was excellent work.
I eventually ended with about 20% armor left, after that 1st battle was over. Sadly, I had to log and do some RL stuff so I missed the 2nd battle. :(
I can't wait to fight again.

This was Evil Annie 1st major fleet battle (Hey I even appear in the video!) . Lag was pretty bad, especialy when joining back the battle Up to now i've been in a few skirmish with 10-20 ship on each side but yesterday was just insane. Torpedoes and cruise everywhere.

Soon as everyone jumped in my screen lit up like a damn christmas tree. Lag was so bad I warped before I even got shot...the only thing that warped was my frozen corpse. That ever happen to anyone. O well congrats to everyone on an awsome battle. Too bad I only saw 35sec of it . You guys finally got my scorp "the Pe-is Wrinkle". Its been with me from the start of this war. Only have 3 more scorps and a tempest too kill before im outa ships . Long live "The Mighty Tampon"

Like everyone has said before, was an awsome fight, and it wasnt just some battleship slug fest, we had guys in frigates, guys who's first experiance in PvP even came up for the fight. hehe the BNC mining director was even there. Must say it was great fun had by all, and im very suprised i even made it out alive (19.5% structure left) in my carcel. I counted 79 in local at one point, Blacklight said he saw closer to 90 something but reguardless it was a huge and fun fight.

Yeah me too. When the other sides reinforcements showed up, I was getting lotsa love (I guess Scorps are popular). My auto target filled up with ships shooting at me before I could even find the called target on the scanner.
Thank God the lag wasn't too bad or I wouldn't have made it out.

Approx scores from fight 2: NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK forces 0 BS lost

Fight 3 After we regrouped again in c4c, we sent scouts in to see what was happening in lc-307. By this point, both sides had lost some pilots due to ship loss, late night logging and things were starting to even up. Our side still had the numerical advantage. Lc-307 was camped out by the remainder of the FE/RSA/C0D fleet. We felt it was suicidal to jump into their fleet a second time but decided to go for it anyway. Upon jumping in, we lost two CELEST BS and the rest of us engaged the forces there. We killed two FE/RSA/C0D BS and the rest pulled out again to regroup.
Approx scores from fight 3: NORAD/DSIN/CELEST/RKK forces 2 BS lost
FE/RSA/C0D forces 2 BS lost
At this point, we held at the gate for a while but then decided to move back down to empire as people were beginning to log. The last I heard FE/RSA/C0D forces had regrouped en masse and recovered their stations in Fade.
A great night of fighting, although pretty even in the end. The fight was initially laggy for Fight 1 for those at the start due to the mass amount of people involved but I personally didn't have any problems at all.
I was impressed by FE's ability to overturn a larger force and start to get on top, and if it wasn't for the fact that a RKK force was manouvering up behind them, it could have turned into a rout like the last battle we fought did.
This is however, the first time we have managed to put together numbers to counter the FE and it is also the first time I have seen the FE move away from a fleet battle. So tonight was a good night for our forces involved regardless of the fact that the scores were even.
Thanks to Blacklight, Toulak, Galavet, Celest (not sure who was leading), Darwin and Mongo Peck.
Was fun guys, look forward to it again.

DP nice little brief on what took place.
Nice. Who is Fade? Why are people fighting for Fade? Why is FE protecting Fade? "Sick animals die eventually" why prolong the life of an alliance that cannot protect itself? Just my opinion. No offenese to the self proclaimed alliances up there.

I must 'congratulate' both sides on the lack of smack in local - Thats very good to hear.
Whats even better is that there is none in this thread either  Rare indeed. For that, both sides deserve respect! BIG Lottery

Edited by: darth solo on 29/03/2004 15:42:26 Crice, fade is giving us good folks PVP action that is smack free, and u wouldnt believe how good that feels after the last few months we have had. to the guys thinking they are special targets .
usually its just who we feel isnt tanked, who is closest to our fleet or whom pee'd us off on the forums .
wasnt at the fight, but looked pretty, congrats on being civil, it makes the game so much more fun doesnt it.

The RSA know why NORAD/RKK/DSIN/CELEST forces are attacking them.
The FE know why they are defending them.
The C0D know why they are assisting RSA.
This thread was a brief of the battle for those interested in hearing how a 80 ship battle feels like from both sides.
Crice (or anyone else for that matter), if you are truly interested in finding out anything about this then contact one of those people I gave kudos to in the initial brief.
Otherwise, leave the thread for those who were fighting.

Well so be it RSA will not give up either So looks like we will fight untill someone loses so be it.. But yes i fought the fight with 11%hull left and damn it was fun.. Hopefully there will be more soon.. Its just really WEIRD seeing CELES and HUFF fight on the same side since they where enemies in the past but, hey HUFF needs them cause they have no where to go and hide but empire atm And if any of you didnt know RSA is NOT pirates.. We formed up with Tungdragons and Spang to push out BNC/NORAD when they came to fade and pirated the corps that where their so we called apon our friends.. They helped for abit. TDG and Spang havnt been in fade for weeks.. So just to let Rona-KIA and CELES know we are not the pirates here.. BNC came and took a region that was not theirs so who are the pirates here??? --------------
Notferr has been pwned by CCP..

TDG is not part of RSA anymore and we don't have the tag on. Bone Collectors are with us, not sure if they have the tag, but they are not in Fade and have nothing to do with RSA.
Can't speak for Spang, for what I know is that they were inactive for a while...

Phonix,
This thread had started nice with everybody congratulating each other for a nice fight ,no smack etc..and you had to come and insert your dirty politic into it..
You know very well that when BNC was in Fade,the region was open to everybody to mine in peace..it would had benn no problem to coexist at the time..
but some of you guys for some reasons had a problem with us,and instead of adressing it with the BNC leader,you have choosen to back stabbed us in calling FE to get us out.You knew BNC had no business with pirates,and again ,you have choosen to be friend with tundragon.
You ,RSA ..have put this war upon yourselves ,nobody else.
Right now,you guys are running like chicken without heads,you don't know where you belong anymore..and soon,you will find yourselves alone.
My advice..surrender..disolve Rsa..and restart fresh in peace and of course stay away from pirates :)
Good luck.

Xpohoc is right. Tundrgons helped us for the beginning fight on pushing BNC out of fade. Bone collectors were only naped with us and never members, they were naped because they were TDG's friends. The Spang were full members of RSA at one point also. They are no longer members and I have mailed their CEO and director to remove the tag. RSA as an alliance only pirated on one occasion and that was right after we took over the fade region. That was just for fun and we have never done such things since. If you guys want to consider us pirates because of our past go right ahead. To me it seems you are just trying to find reason for war. I will finish this topic on a new thread so it does not get lost.

yes it was fun to fight RKK again, especially DB Preacher, always a challenge, always fun, take away a few elements from other corps and normally smack free and honorable.
Must simply give me a call next time we're gonna rumble.
only thing wrong with initial post is 1 bs did die on jump in during fight 2 do it was 1-3.

it's a shame that lag continues to be a problem even in relatively small fights (it's not like 20 vs. 20 should be a problem in a game designed for the kind of numbers that we have playing now).
Being a PvP'er myself I can confirm that lag is affecting about 50% of my engamements, and is a deciding factor of about 25% of them. Just 2 months ago I recon only 10% of fights had lag issues, even when fighting 10 vs. 10 in systems like Yulai and New Caldary.
For the sake of the future of PvP, can someone at CCP please do something about the lag ASAP before it becomes impossible to fight anything but 1 vs. 1.
Back on topic, it's nice to read about these engagements in detail. What we really need is for more people to run FRAPS and a place where people can upload their (compressed) footage. Then people with talent can peice together a video with more than just the usual one view, perspective.
Sounds like you guys had fun, and that's what games should be about, also glad to hear about the lack of "bull in local".
