Shortly after DT, SMACKFIX capitals and support engaged SOLAR cap fleet at a POS. Dreads are dropping like flies on both sides. More to come later......

Currently, the fight seems to be about even. Lag is heavy, but it seems to be manageable. The fight has been ongoing outside the POS shields for approximately 30 minutes. As of this post, I count 23 cap wrecks in addition to numerous others. Both sides continue to warp and cyno in backup.

Update:
Fleet sizes seem to be increasing, despite losses. The lag has become noticeably worse in the last few minutes, giving me time to type this in between module targeting delays. It also appears that someone has taken command of the POS guns and is firing at the SMACKFIX support fleet.
The two cap fleets continue to slug away at each other. So far, to my knowledge, no carriers have been lost on either side. Dread losses appear to be heavy.

Fight still going on. Carriers have started to drop, and fighters seem to be almost non-existent. Reinforcements are still coming in... The fight is not over, not by a long shot.....

The fleet action is largely over. SMACKFIX forces had to retreat in the face of overwhelming SOLAR cap reinforcements. Lag was so bad that kill mails are still coming in. Without seeing the KB stats, it looks like both sides lost a good deal of cap ships. SMACKFIX seemed to have the advantage early on, but a large contingent of SOLAR caps arrived late in the fight and turned the tide.
In terms of ship losses, it would seem to be a draw, depending on what the actual stats say.
**EDIT**
Good fight to all, btw. While not my first cap fight, it is probably the largest I have ever been a part of. Now if you will excuse me, I need to mourn the loss of my carrier and pull dust off the spare.
/yarr!!

Personally, for me, this was one of the greatest battles I have ever been a part of. Usually, you might have a few caps lost in a cap fleet "skirmish" but nothing too serious. This is the first time I have ever seen a prolonged fight that I could honestly call a cap fleet "battle." It was two huge fleets of dreads, carriers, and support ships just slugging it out for as long as they could.
I've already replaced my carrier, and I know several others either had backup capital ships or have acquired new ones. Heres to SMACKFIX and SOLAR, and the next great cap fight. Well done guys, and excellent fighting!!

I may have missed something, but here is my count of losses on both sides:
RK/SMASH/Atlas/FIX/VI (note 1):
42 caps lost (30 dreads, 12 carriers)
SOLAR/xXDEATHXx/IRC (note 2):
23 caps lost (20 dreads, 3 carriers)
65 cap ships destroyed?? 
Anyone wanna guess at the total cost of this morning's "festivities?"
