Going old school here:
1: The Invasion Of JQA Space:
This was awhile ago but it was JQA vs. KIA, Supremecy, and a few others. It was a grueling 4 hour fight and JQA pilots lost multiple battleships each. This was one of the funnest fights that I ever have been involved in. I think the system was VV in Syndicate?
2: Rumble in The Graveyard(U-Q):
One day I witnessed Xetic, SA, CFS, FA, and Atuk all come into U-Q with a 160 man fleet vs CA who had a 60 man fleet. We held our ground for 2 hours but the numbers ended up being too great. An epic battle for that time.
I hope some of you remember these fights. Things were different years ago less people playing the game meant not as big fleets but for that time these were 2 HUGE fights. I guess there are tons of epic fights that I missed out on. What are your picks? |

Sad or strange, I'm not certain; but win or lose all of my most memorable fights have been against BoB:
1. The CODA vs. BoB invasion of 9CG - My first time out under the 'command' of Xirt, I don't know how the hell he ended up in charge of a ~150 battleship sized fleet; but I will never forget his near-manic panting any time we were about to be engaged. Catching Dian with his a.ss hanging in the breeze, when losing a Moros meant something was a big highlight. I should look up the numbers, but I would guees that CODA lost 600-800 ships that weekend.
2. The ill-fated assault on F-T - Two separate NC fleets, mostly MM/RZR/PURE desperately trying to get into the fight, 20min jump lag into any system in the constellation; seemed every gate had 50+ GBC waiting behind it who had the grid loaded and bled us terribly. We never did make it into F-T, but we fought all the way to the doorstep, at which point the two fleets combined looked like a roaming BS gang. But damn what a hectic, brutal, and frustrating day.
3. The Battle of NOL - A scene that is often forgotten regarding the invasion of Delve, we did in fact dine on some of the fiercest fighting this game has likely ever seen; for three days solid, broken only by downtime in NOL. If Adj wasn't driving us by a BoB POS, then TWD was driving his crew by ours. If Trevorrezznik wasn't suiciding one of our fleets, Thol was trying to suicide his. Nonstop boat violence, the way its supposed to be played.
Tbh, the only downside to recounting this stuff is the nagging concern that I may have seen the best it has to offer already...

Edited by: rValdez5987 on 13/06/2008 17:02:34 Hmm, The F-T fight comes to mind
Another good one a bit more recent was in Stain region... I forget the system name, but RA+MASS were attacking SE+Coven at a pos, and our gang of 100+ GBC showed up... local was at around 450+ and RA cyno'd all of their capitals out. Snagged a few kills, but I must admit I have never seen anyone run that fast. Gridload wasn't too bad... 10 minutes after jumping in system I was able to warp to pos, to wait another 3 minutes to see anything... Whats funny is when I warped out to another gate after being targeted and lit up by some huggins, The gate rats nearly finished me off, because the lag coming out of warp was bad enough...
Good times good times...
I must admit though, my favorite fights are happening right now with Factional Warfare. Seeing fleets with a large number of frigates, cruisers, and battlecruisers, makes me remember the old days. |

This probably doesnt deserve to even be mentioned here, But my personal Favorite was when my Old Alliance, Stellar Legion, set a trap and hot dropped a AAA titan and 100+ man sniper fleet on the combined forces of OSS, NOTR, Huzzah, SWAT, and Decorum when they were trying to take out our POS. I just wish i couldve been on their TS when that cyno opened.
Other favorites include, The 49-u Siege back in my IAC days, aswell as the subsiquent alamos of 25-s and FAT-, Had a real nice fight in ED- as well

Edited by: Ciaphas Khaine on 13/06/2008 17:15:38 Edited by: Ciaphas Khaine on 13/06/2008 17:14:48 you guys are all going to laugh at me, but back a few months there was a pretty much an epic 2-3 week long fight in Syndicate in and around s-u. HF/NOTR/SWAT/OSS vs. Un-Nat/friends. Considering that the total number of pilots involved on all sides was probably around 2500 (if that), It was pre3 weeks of pretty much all day every day 40 on 40 fights, with 150 vs 150 fights every weekend ended up with around 3000+ total ships lose by all sides. per capital It was a very intense campaign. One of the best times of my EVE career, and a great surprise considering how small each entity was (no alliance had more than 500-600 people)
one side would lose a fleet, go home get a new one, come back fight, other side goes back for new ships, rinse and repeat

1 - Fighting off CODA in 9cg. Despite losing ma Moros I then took our quite out numbered fleet against the enemy and whittled them down until I could say "we're going in, and we ain't coming out". Best fight I've been in and commanded.
2 - Taking NOL / Delve from Fountain Alliance, this is where we created the "fly by". 10 BoB vs nearly one hundred enemy who were trying to cap NOL station, picking them off one by one and nearly losing Alex Capone on every warp-in until eventually the enemy just left (I don't think much was left in the station by that time).
3 - Take your pick of any number of fights in Geminate against UNICOR. People can say what they like about the "old" eve (pre-shiva) but them were the days of fights on a daily basis against foes that weren't napped with everyone around them (yes yes yes, we've also done it, we've learnt it makes it boring as hell). I still have the privilege of flying with and against pilots of those days and they continue to fight the good fight, regardless of odds.

I'll go really old school with two picks and then a little more recent with my third.
1. December 2004, BoB vs FE+Friends after the GNW in P3EN-E.
Outnumbered with FE jumping in yet more reinforcements and seeing only 10-15 BoB left on the field and DBP goes on TS "just charge straight at them!" so we did Great fights with 50-75 per side, manouvering over several hours and quite prolonged engagements, great weekend of fighting.
http://www.killboard.net/fleetbattle/4/ & http://www.killboard.net/fleetbattle/5/
2. 22nd November 2004, BoB vs CoD in LEK-N5 in Deklein.
CoD were set up on the gate with a number of bubbles around it, battleships at range and support on the gate (iirc bubbles were new in the game having been introduced a couple of months previously). Rather than just jumping our BS in and engaging we just sent our support in and those of us in BS had to just sit on the gate, waiting and listening to TS, whilst our support cleared theirs out. Outnumbered and outgunned our support just ripped theirs to pieces and cleared the way for our BS to jump in and clean up. That was the first fleet fight where I remembered thinking how much of an asset dedicated and specialised support pilots are. Funnily enough the only two BoB BS lost that day were my brother and I.
http://www.killboard.net/fleetbattle/815/
3. 7th December 2006, BoB vs ASCN when fighting over AZN-D2, ASCN's capital system.
ASCN struggled to deploy dreadnaughts against BoB's battle POS in AZN, which we'd put there purely to tempt them into fighting so we could beat them bloody and grind them down some more before taking the system. At about 2am on 7th December they finally engaged our tower with a small group of dreads and a large support fleet. The late night euro, US and Aussie crew from BoB fought a running battle against ASCN's support fleet well and truly outnumbered to begin with in an attempt to keep ASCN from reinforcing our tower. The fun thing about this fight for me was with both our own guys and ASCN expecting BoB to do drive-by passes on their BS fleet with our far smaller group of BS, we just went in at close range and stood and fought, very entertaining. Numbers look more even on the killboard fleet battle report as we had more people logging in and joining in over the duration of the fight than they did.

Edited by: Keflin Geard on 13/06/2008 19:11:24 I have been told by many that the 06 Invasion of XZH - D2 vs Goons was the best fleet fun they have had in Eve (infamous gridline pos)
Personally -
The first day of the P2 fight MC vs D2 (and all the allies on both sides) hours of fun.
So many from the last year itÆs hard to sort out.
The series of fights in 0OYZ-G (Feythabolis) Sep 07 GBC Vs Reds certainly ranks up near the top. Additionally, you could argue it was also the venue for the best fight that never happened. BoB POSs coming out of reinforced and 100+ caps and massive support fleets on either side of the 0OYZ/R97 gates. Redswarm declined to jump in, and who can blame them û but would have been epic if they had.
Many fights in Delve û particularly the NOL ones where the warÆs outcome was anybodyÆs guess.
For pure adrenalin rush û the infamous node crash fight in 49- (Catch). Shrike bubbled û 3 DDs û both sides pouring reinforcements in from the far corners of Eve.

I think that one was in 49-u. I remember jumping in, waiting 15 minutes, loading one friendly megathron, then alt tabbing to see screenshots posted on the forums of the battle so I could start flying towards shrike even though nothing was loaded.
Ship was unresponsive and I got tired of waiting so I just went to get lunch, came back and all I saw was the titan on my screen, my ship with zero armor/hull (but full shields since I had been dead so long but failed to load my pod and the natural regen had filled it up) and the nodecrash popup on my screen. Man I wish I had screenshotted that ******ation.

That was my first experience with a do-or-die jammer takedown, had a couple since then (Hi insurgency!). The constant high-intensity fighting in NOL is what made me really stick to FCing, never seen carnage like that on a constant scale. ----------------

I agree, the fight in QY6 for the cyno jammer was great. BoB capitals remote repping the jammer with everything they had while RSF just kept shooting even though we were killing the dreads at a decent speed. Then when the cyno jammer finally goes down it was just too much for us and we had to bail but lost a mothership in the process. It was so nerve racking to see if we could hold the cyno jammer up with the combination of our remote reps and you losing dps as we killed you. Very good fight. |

Yeah, the ugly part of that fight was the debate to seige or not with our dreads, we lost prolly 10 min of very high damage b/c 2 outta 3 people disagreed on when to siege. :-( |

Also you didn't mention support fleet getting DD'ed and getting 1/2 wiped out and the insane battle that ensued at the gate's over the next hours as support fleets went in and out with resupplys it was just a out right crazy 3 or 4 hours. |

I¦d say ED-, when we in -A- tryed for a whole weekend to kill FIX¦s station egg. Insane fighing for hours, days on end. I think the total tally was in the area of 900(low guesstimate) sum ships lost that weekend in there. Crazy stuff.

2: Rumble in The Graveyard(U-Q):
One day I witnessed Xetic, SA, CFS, FA, and Atuk all come into U-Q with a 160 man fleet vs CA who had a 60 man fleet. We held our ground for 2 hours but the numbers ended up being too great. An epic battle for that time.
I hope some of you remember these fights. Things were different years ago less people playing the game meant not as big fleets but for that time these were 2 HUGE fights. I guess there are tons of epic fights that I missed out on. What are your picks?
Was in both of these battles as part of Supremacy and Omega Corp. I remember being in an inty tackling everything in range for hours on end in vv-v against JQA. IIRC their FC lost 4 battleships. I somehow survived.
In the graveyard fight i was in a scorpion next to the 3 bubbles we put up. I had to warp to a deadspace can 10 times to rearm my ship, and again somehow surviving. As i remember it the fight lasted well over 2 hours, more like 4-5, and CA held the field at the end as our reinforcements began to filter in. Duke Droklar logged in 2 minutes after the battle ended and was really annoyed to have missed the hardest fought battle the south had seen to that point. Corp chat/ts that evening was fun as people told their personal story to duke. |

1) FOE vs MC war. Was a good 2 weeks or so of constant small and larger scale pvp in the Obe/P3 area.
2) CA's invasion of Xetic. 500+ Xetic bs destroyed in 1 week in Immensea back in 04', need I say more? I flew a rifter(like a pro may I add) had to go 40 jumps 1 way to get back to Immensea.
Honorable mention goes to the TPS vs UNICOR fights.

Yea, KIA + IAC vs. 0utbreak on the 13th of May 2007. 0utbreaks first capital loss, everyone had a blast. 0utbreak showing why they had the reputation they had, some guys losing multiple ships but instead of sulking they brought bigger and bigger ships and eventually they held the field iirc.
Only sad thing was that the 0utbreak-guy frapsing it ran out of hdd-space after an hour or so ----------------------

highlight was a freindly dread blocking the undock port by going into siege

best fights involved:
-Immensea (i-ngi8 siege) - Maelstrom alliance newly built factory in Immensea, the region was defended by -M-/UCC/MAD and held against UNL/RA for a good 4 months. docked 4 jumps from the closest enemy station, surrounded by RSF forces. When ISS collapsed and LV lost most of Detorid, RSF sieged I-N. 4-5 days siege in wich a few industrial entities resisted to the RSF war machine. Station was lost when LV/MC withdrew the area leaving the poor pets to an obvious annihilation.

Edited by: Wesley Baird on 14/06/2008 01:05:33 For me, most fun due to the innovation and risk, was the 18man MDK BS fleet vs the 100 man Bruce fleet...MDK nothing but smartbombs...end result 97 kills, 1 loss...it was over fast...but was truly awesome to be part of.

Battle for NOL back in the day is the one I hold dearest. Mainly because it was one of my first big enggements, i must say. It was one of the first occations where rubra and fa set aside the old grudge to fighter the greater evil bob. Good times! -

The fight in RIT-A7 on the p8- gate vs RISE, Rise just kept coming back over and over and over again, some RISE guys lost 7 ships for example, after about 3 or so hours of fighting it was down to the point where people had long since run out of ammo and were tackling stuff as they went between wrecks checking for ammo, I was in a vaga that was in hull from the start of the fight and had managed to loot some hail from a wreck and was pretty much flying right up on top of people shoving a load of hail down their throats while being in a ball of flames from the structure fires.
Initially it was a 10 man PL hac / recon and 25 man TCF light roaming gang vs a lot of support and a bunch of capitals on a gate, when the Goons arrived we outnumbered them and managed to catch all 7 capitals that Rise had put on the gate, it was one helluva fight, there was probably 200 wrecks on that gate by the end.

Edited by: Evil Pookie on 14/06/2008 06:13:29 to everyone in this thread that said a large scale fleet fight was the best engagement they had ever been in. get a f'ing clue. being a drone, in a lagfest is not anything to be proud of. you should be ashamed for being unable to think for yourself and ccp should be ashamed of themselves for allowing ******** game play to occur.
this one time, 5 of us engaged a 85 man iron gatecamp in ec-p. we did the hit and fade thing for about 15 mins, killed about 15 of them before they pulled out. we lost nothing, wasnt the best fight i have ever had, but it was probably the most embarrising fight for our oponents that i have been involved in.
one time we camped m-o for 11 days and got over 1000 kills (good times good times)

Long drawn out fights are fun, more fun than short quick fights or ganks, also calm down before you have a stroke or something.

One of the best fights i've ever had was in deklein when Triumvirate. was taking YA0 , when the night got quiet me and a friend went for a roam in our maledictions (before the khanid change) and we found a drake and a brutix in a belt, they were ratting but they've killed off the spawn by the time we arrived into the belt. After 30 minutes of warping in and out and shooting them we finally killed both of them with no losses.
2 inties vs 2 bc's - one of the most fun fights ive ever had
another time was in the drone regions me and the same friend , me in a malediction , he was in a nano curse, vs. geddon, hurricane, thorax - killed em all , no losses
another was when Tri was taking down a spartan cyno jammer, that was a lot of fun for me sniping people (i just enjoy sniper fleet fights that aren't too laggy) the lag was bareable , got tons of kills , mission was accomplished (killed cynojammer) then eve crashed and reset the cynojammer health
but small scale pvp is way more fun than the fleet stuff - i highly recommend small scale pvp

Nowadays the BE style of fleet fights is the best due to the fact that there is just so many people that its just massive lag blob vrs massive blob. I had tons of fun with the 10man F-E gang camping BWF / 8MG for a month against the 1500 man Storm Armada alliance, eventually resulting in their alliance disbanding. However this thread isn't about small gang vs fleet fights. I just feel bad for everyone saying "XXX system with 500 ppl vs 500ppl for 3 hrs" thinking to myself, you should have been around 3-5 years ago when you could get almost 0 lag 80v80 fights that lasted for hours, and the victor instead of being decided by lag and luck was decided by which fleet had the better players.

1. Our 20+ gangm when were in VC alliance, we were waiting for about 6 hours defending Hophib gate in D4KU, we put up about 20 bubbles up as we were bored as hell, then all of a sudden this random corp called 'outbreak' :) turns up and throws a 40 man gang at us. The best thing was they would covertops a warp in point and jump on a single ship, take loses and warp out, but they had like a SS with a few carriers supplying new ships, so we had a long engagement. Best fun ever!

too many to name, had some fun ones in the usual U-Q and around there with ATUK/SA vs CA (my pc was majorly **** back then so was more a slideshow for me but was still fun).
FE (corp)/FoE vs MC, vs BoB, vs G, vs Xetic, vs basically anyone; had a lot of fun during that time.
have to name my first one tho, when i was in a caracal as part of a CFS fleet (and all its allies etc that lived there) going to the help of SA vs c4 in paragon/esoteria - I just made lock range when some bships decided to kill me :( Torp caracal tho, was 4tw!

Fresh battle last night was one of the funniest ive had in a long time.
-A- come to F4R2 in catch with a 100+ man fleet, mostly nano hacs and recons, IAC deploy a defence fleet, within short time 150+ to counter the intruders, the first hour we slug it out at the IAC station, lag is bad, but still playable.
After the first hour, the battle breaks up, and we re-engage eatchother in one of the belts, another slug fest begins, in total almost 3 hour non stop combat, total isk loss to our foes was 12bill, IAC lost 10bill worth of ships that day, all conventional ships.
No smack in local, just pure fun, was an all round great fight, even the pilots that lost multible ships where laughing all night.
-A- thanks for bringing it, and as usual acting pros with no smack and being an exxelent foe to fight.

There were two pretty amasing fights that Ill remember for evar and evar!
1) MJ- Taking this system took about a week or two, but the battles had their were epic, hundreds dead a day, cap kills, tower kills, massive 200 vs 300 man fleet fights. battles raging over hours.

The battle for 1v- was pretty amazing given how much of a rollercoaster it was. It was pretty shattering to see our massive sniper gatecamp destroyed by the suprise DD but then dear leader heckled everyone to get back in new ships and convoy down and we're still going to win guys.
Remedial might go down in the annals as the guy who stole a load of people's donations and had his little titan posted all over the internet but we did pretty well by him before he went crazy v0v

The taking down of the CoW POS in 9GNS in Syndicate for Goonswarm was also a highlight. We were lacking in capitals and the tower was well setup. We asked if GS could lend support.
Cue 200 goons throwing themselves repeatedly at the pos to draw fire. The cans stretched like a chain of pearls across 100km of space. When they died they just grabbed another frig/cruiser and did it again until the POS was down.
Was an amazing sight to behold, and one of the reasons why - as much as some of them wind me up by being terrible poasters - we love the bees.

The most memorable engagement I participated in was the first big assault from BRUCE on XZH where at the time The Reckoning n BCA where stationed.
The fight took over 2 hours where we started off against an 80 man BRUCE fleet with about 38 pilots, both sides kept reinforcements coming in. And the battle that started at the gate went on at the station and later on at the gate again, where BRUCE was suffering loads of casualties we only lost a few ships.
Small bit of the battle is on the BCA killboard Battle Summary
The rest was on the reckoning killboard, which probably isnt up yet anymore.
Just a shame they jumped 80 cap ships on us a few days later.

I have been involved in many a fight indicated in this thread, via one char or another, however RIT is likely the best to date.
It wasn't the time, nor the numbers, it was the fact that each time RISE came back in, it wasn't in 1-2's, it was a proper gang / effort, often in larger numbers / ships each time.
The final battle was multi carriers and support, did not go well for RISE that day, but of course they didn't know Goons where only a few jumps away when they started that final assault.
Also for whatever reason, Eve worked that day, and it wasn't your typical lag combat we get from Bob, in Delve.
As for the Xirt fights in this thread, each time I wanted to shoot Xirt more then the nme, tbh

Originally by: Straight Chillen This probably doesnt deserve to even be mentioned here, But my personal Favorite was when my Old Alliance, Stellar Legion, set a trap and hot dropped a AAA titan and 100+ man sniper fleet on the combined forces of OSS, NOTR, Huzzah, SWAT, and Decorum when they were trying to take out our POS. I just wish i couldve been on their TS when that cyno opened.
Other favorites include, The 49-u Siege back in my IAC days, aswell as the subsiquent alamos of 25-s and FAT-, Had a real nice fight in ED- as well
LOL i was on that TS,it was pretty ******* panicky tbh.
I was doing well aswell my vaga was tackling your tacklers and trying to pop the dictors when i eventually succumbed to lag and MWD'd off the grid...
I then proceeded to camp the station and hope for the best. |

First battleship to go pop on TQ. A scorpion, piloted by Raven Deblade, escorted by a few cruisers (I'm the maller in the pictures) vs j0rt's dominix with his m0o buddies at the infamous Passari chokepoint, amidst a cloud of cans with 1 ammo round in each. It was a lagfest, the cans made it hard to target them (hydra would have loved that) Scorpion went pop, then m0o left the gate, we got to pop Stavros's maller though and maybe another superheatsinkstackedmaller. Beat that.

A scorpion, piloted by Raven Deblade, escorted by a few cruisers (I'm the maller in the pictures) vs j0rt's dominix with his m0o buddies at the infamous Passari chokepoint, amidst a cloud of cans with 1 ammo round in each. It was a lagfest, the cans made it hard to target them (hydra would have loved that) Scorpion went pop, then m0o left the gate, we got to pop Stavros's maller though and maybe another superheatsinkstackedmaller. Beat that.
omg, is that how eve looked!?
Happy HOur Minning and Industry

It would have been shortly after 49-U6U feel to IAC / Goons and so many others
During the battle that resulted after a BOB Titan did a DD near a gate and got tackled , resulting in forces from
Northern Force - Based in Querious AAA MC Goons IAC BOB and just about every pilot within 30 jump plus radius all rushing to 49-U6U to either kill or defend a trapped Titan
result being a crashed node and a number of capitals destroyed that logged in upon recovery of the node

Edited by: Vandamsel on 17/06/2008 04:59:18 This fight wasn't some huge 400 person 0.0 fight that lasted hours, but it stands out as my favorite.
Repo gets a contract for a POS save against Daedalus Hegemony. Support forms up, heads to target system, wait a couple jumps out for the call to head in. We get the call, warp to the POS, enemy fleet panics and warps off. We manage to catch their Revelation, witch melts. Just as we pop the rev, the rest of the Daedalus fleet warps in to try and save it. The ensuing fight lasts only about a half hour, with Repo destroying the Daedalus support and capitals, and taking minimal losses. No other fight had my heart pumping like that one

For me it was a battle in the rancer pipe. This was before [GROPE] was formed, and was a get acquiented fleet made up by Me and a Corpie and one of the guy my previous corp merged with.
Us: Blackbird, Vexor and Thorax
Anti-pies: Caracal, Caracal and Caracal
We were looking for the Caracals and the Caracals were looking for us as well. We warp in on them, as 2 caracals warp out, I tackle one, and start pounding him, while calling in my buddies who arrive slightly after the caracals buddies. My tank is slowly breaking, until the first caracal pops. After we start engaging the next caracal, my tank is just holding, before we pop that, shortly followed by the third one.
Maybe not as epic as the other fights in this thread, but so far, definitvely my favourite.
Kills: 3 Caracals
Losses: 0 Ships

JQA vs. Supremacy and friends was the first thing that popped into mind.
Longest fight I have ever been in to date. Back in the days when systems could handle 500+ people in local. Think I lost 2-3 ships in that fight, all ceptors and T1 frigs.
Even though we had our asses handed to us fighting against PVP corps, I had so much fun. Correct Toro, the system was VV-.
I like to remember it as the Industrial vs. PvP war, as we were mostly mission runners and industry peeps starting our 0.0 life. |

Edited by: Darpz on 05/08/2008 04:18:22 so many memorable fights.
my first real pvp campaign was the Xetic war. "the coalition" as we called it (Speicies, Mass, Collective, SGE + a few others all back in there prime) remember the few weeks of fun we had sparing with what would become ASCN.
I remember back to the Fix vs "the coalition" when we retook fat after fix's offensive into catch. was only something like 50vs50 but back then it seemed epic. its the first bubble camp I can remember ever. forget the name of the system but we (the coalition) setup a dozen bubbles on the gate, anded waited for hours for fix to jump into us, then later that night I remember sniping the fix fleet for hours with 3-4 BS doing drive bys as the fix fleet recaptured the station.
The CODA war was a fun last swan song for SA, everyone needs to fly under Xirt at some point its an "experience" I remember camping the 9cg station surrounded by what had to be 2 dozen bubbles. I also remember sieging the bob pos with 3 dreads and the nailing dynas moros when it slipped out of the pos.
back then a 50v50 was a huge deal, 100v100 epic. now its just another day. I think about the fights I get on a weekly bases since i've joined snigg and all of them larger in scale than they were back in the "good ole days" but they lack the epic feel. only thing that gets my heart pumping lately is a good hotdrop, and that useually passes when I am yet again caught in some super slowpaced turnbased RTS game trying to get my guns to activate on the tertiary before it dies.

Originally by: Evil Pookie Edited by: Evil Pookie on 14/06/2008 06:13:29 to everyone in this thread that said a large scale fleet fight was the best engagement they had ever been in. get a f'ing clue. being a drone, in a lagfest is not anything to be proud of. you should be ashamed for being unable to think for yourself and ccp should be ashamed of themselves for allowing ******ed game play to occur.
this one time, 5 of us engaged a 85 man iron gatecamp in ec-p. we did the hit and fade thing for about 15 mins, killed about 15 of them before they pulled out. we lost nothing, wasnt the best fight i have ever had, but it was probably the most embarrising fight for our oponents that i have been involved in.
one time we camped m-o for 11 days and got over 1000 kills (good times good times)
Yes. This. I remember the most fun I've had fighting in eve was back when BE was still in infancy (when Fragm and friends first joined up). We never had any 5 vs 85, but I do remember many 5 vs 30 or so, nothing like being able to inflict losses and completely hammer the moral of an enemy fleet that outnumbers you in a ridiculous manner.
It makes me smile to see that BE is still at it on even bigger scales. ________________________________________________________________________________________

The seven hour fight for C9N three weeks ago was just amazing, easily the most fun I've had on any op in recent memory. Dualboxing a covops and a carrier made it pretty good, but I wish I'd added a third client with my battleship pilot as well.
The highlights were definitely HKKS warping his Archon to our deathstar by mistake (and dying before I could lock him ._.), Jaroslav probing out a Revelation ninety seconds later, and the SE/C0VEN/ATLAS caps cynoing out but forgetting to restront the last POS they had been trying to defend. XD

Originally by: fugazii 1) FOE vs MC war. Was a good 2 weeks or so of constant small and larger scale pvp in the Obe/P3 area.
I flew a vigil in that war. Was incredibly fun. My most memorable fight in EVE was the one that happened on the 1st weekend happened @ outside OBE stn. Which was XETIC + MC vs FOE. The only thing is half of Xetic didnt have MC blue so it devolved into a huge 3 way brawl that went on so long the cans were strewn out in a 400km line away from the station.
Back then there was not as much lag too.. you could actually manually move your ships through a 300 person fleet battle. The tactic BV had us use then was to burn straight through the enemy fleet while scramming the primary (due to different mechanics back then as scrams lasted 20s even if you went out of range) and then all targets in range .. warping out after reaching the other end of the fleet.
Flew rifters/vigils for most of that war. God dammn ravens were scary back then as they hit for full dmg.

1) The battle for BQ0 round I, the climax points being 2 SDG & 1 XIX mom killed followed through with an epic capital battle that saw a total of 71 friendly and hostile capitals destroyed (to date the most capitals going boom in a single engagement).
2) The fight or flight campaign in R-6 ethereal dawn home space; this was an epic week of constant engagements where a number of capitals followed by an ED mom were killed then the climax of goons, sdg and xix triple DD' one of our camps then we warped 80+ friendly caps on top of a tackler that managed to bump and point the goonswarm erebus which was promptly destroyed (relative to lag, local had peaked to over 600).
3) The dead-lock 9IZ battle between atlas/chaos vs ra/irc/ed/xix where we had 27 capitals pinned down by over 200 hostiles and we rep chained for 4 hours and downed over 100 enemy battleships while taking 4 capital losses in the subsequent withdraw attempt.
4) The battle of sahtogas between ATLAS vs Outbreak/Ev0ke & friends where 39 capitals in total went boom

Oki oki, noone mention it, so I do it. 1 bloody fountain bloody fountain: 0utbreak+celes vs 2 BoB corps, closerange all sluggish. Maybe 1 of the best fights ever in history. Lot of fun not much lag
CFS+DSMA vs FA in the old days, cant remember but hey, first real fights for me, and it was awsome.
KIA vs Rise in RIT area, Eddz insisted on RR BS gang after failure after failure, and finally it paid off, Think only eddz died and Rise took a beating. And after that it worked perfectly fight after fight
Honorble mention just for myself. Outbreak vs Imperium in Foutain, just joined Outbreak, I got the task after I managed not to keep mouth shut to bubble their fleet. I dident screaw up, I bubbled them, I jumped through the gate I lagged out, the boys slaughterd them, I missed all fun

This was probably, for me, the most awesome night of fleet battles (IIRC parimzan and BV were FC'ing that night). After the rumble in Obe, the same fleet moved back into 0.0 to stopped two seperate fleets in vale within half an hour. Awesome days. --------------

BOB vs. G/IRON We(when I was in BOB) were around 100 against 150-200, funny thing is the system we fought in was inbetween 2 IRON/G stations, so they just kept on getting ships the whole time. So eventully we had to flee the field. I for one died lol

One of the most fun times was when I encountered some goons in Poitot, I was solo in my pilgrim and the following battle commenced : Goons! - Awesome scrap, that lasted some time, they managed to kill 1 of my hammerhead II drones though, hehe.
I thought they would never stop undocking, it was a bit hectic and I remember being really nervous when the swarm came out from the station again and again and again.
After killing 16 of them I decided ok its time to go cloaky cloaky as I needed some time to regen and recover from the adrenaline lol
Good times :D - Die faster damnit! |

One of the Omist station systems, possibly OOY. Enemy fleet outnumbered us ( GBC ) about 3-1. They jumped in eventually after an endless wait. Only about 2/3 of their fleet made it. We were then outnumbered 2-1. We had about 150, they had nearer 300.
All i saw was a complete mass of red, and thought we were getting hammered. Targets being called were just not going down due to lag. it went on for hours. When the dust settled there were twice as many hostile wrecks as friendly, so in all was a great victory.
I think the ZID battle would of been good, but I was lagged out after my wing commander warpe the whole wing out. When i cam back my overview was lagged too much and missed the brand new Goon MOM get killed

Two engagements that come to mind are:
1) MC + friends vs D¦ in L-C/C4C, especially the point where waagaa on TS tells everyone that the titan is still charging, TS spy tells his fleet ... D¦ jump in and Boom ... DD :). Waagaa's comment afterwards: Everyone say hello to our TS spy :)
2) Pure/Smashkill vs TRI in BWF, TRI were sieging the system for lulz and had several supercaps in the system so we decided to see what we could stir up. Pure jumped in BWF and warped to a smashkill POS where 4 MS were sitting just shooting stuff. We started to lock down the MS when TRI warped their BS fleet in at range, after killing most of them and being joined by smashkill forces in the meantime, we started grinding their MSs. Two warped out, including Darkness and we got the other two deep into structure before the node crashed and we found our BS's health regenned and no sign of the MSs ... Thanks for that CCP pffff

The fight I found most memorable happened back in the early days of TRI mk1. Nano was what we did every day and small gangs would race 40-50-60 jumps north and east from Venal. One such gang of 10 or so had moved into Vale and snagged a carrier ratting in a station system (JZV) and now Pure. were pouring supportgangs into that belt. Angel got on TS and called for backup and ppl. responded from all over Venal - 15-20 HAC- and reconpilots all started out on their own towards JZV. The calls for backup was getting somewhat frantic - they had all ready beat off 2 supportgangs but local was going up. I was still in Venal when Pure. warped 2 other carriers to the belt and 5 jumps out when the first, ratting carrier escaped , docked and logged off. The 2 other carriers were still in the belt and everything was thrown in to tackle them and that's where I think we took our first loss. The next 30 minutes was pure madness with now 25 TRI. in various nanoships beating off wave after wave of pure in whatever they could grab. I lost my drones in the first of such waves - a battleship fitted with smartbombs and stabs warped straight to the carriers - smart. So for the rest of the fight I was left with a light missile launcher and the nos on my curse I died as the last TRI ship in the final wave of would be rescuers. pointed down by a Lachesis and sniped out of the sky. 2 minutes later we cynoed Painballs carrier in and broke the tank of both carriers (Painball had forgotten to bring fuel for the returntrip so he was marooned in JZV the night over ) The final tally was 3 ships lost on our side, and 45 or so Pure. in a fight that lasted more than 40 minutes.

9CG, CODA vs Fix and Bob. Three solid days of listening to Xirt screaming on teamspeak and losing his rag due to the fact our fleet and TS was riddled with Bob spies, and their fleets would warp away every time we were aligned and a covops scout reported he had a good snipe spot on the Bob fleet - but when we did get fights they were ace! The days of 280km sniping :-)

Must have been mid-2006. This was when a mothership was the centerpiece of your fleet and its fighters could blot out the sun without lagging the system to shit.
Spent the whole week in an inty, taking turns controlling the gates with fighters blaziing away.
I know I broke the rules and didnt state one specific battle, but it really was a true, one week siege that permanently hooked me on eve.

The battle for MJ- was quite fun many many kills and not many caps involved good old BS on BS action.
How about BNX for some of the drone regioners, IRC+ED vs RK+Smash+Atlas+VI. Not so much battle for the system, but alot death. One of the largest cap battles.

Originally by: Sith8 I¦d say ED-, when we in -A- tryed for a whole weekend to kill FIX¦s station egg. Insane fighing for hours, days on end. I think the total tally was in the area of 900(low guesstimate) sum ships lost that weekend in there. Crazy stuff.
----------
Best fleet battle i have ever been in. Lasted 3 days (friday, saturday, sunday) and was a hell of a fight, saturday had 650+ ships destroyed in that system. Before supercaps, when it actually hurt when you lost a carrier or dread. At the end of it all it was over 1000 ships destroyed in Querious.
I still pray i get a chance to be in another fight like that bloodbath. That battle and prohibition 1 is what got me hooked on EvE. NYC gets Rick Roll'd |

Fight was in NGM-OK Smashkill Atlas and Pure fleet of about 140 versus FREGE with 2 carriers and 80 or so BS plus support at the Sun.
It went on for about an hour but in the end we kept our caps and routed the fleet with heavy losses. I remember Big Russ said to us all "f%$! it, let's take em, I have this cap for fighting..." He jumped in then another Carrier jumped with him and we all warped in. It was a blast of a fight with a full range of ships BS support etc. At the time I was still a baby noob and flew frigs but what fun it was. I remember we depeleted many of our T1 ships against many many T2 ships by gathering another ship from station as we got popped.
AWESOME BATTLE! Yarr!!

Wow this thread has been a trip down memory lane.
My favorite fights from eve just for the pure scale and magnitude of events going on would be.. in chronological order:
Prohibition: The defense of G-7 from MC/FIX back when IAC only had 1 outpost and was living out of POS's. We surprised most of EVE by suviving that fight. Learned what it was to hold 0.0 and play with the big boys there.
Prohibition 2: Pretty much every large engagement when pos's came out. I remember the engagements with MC and ISS. Was something else following Chrystoph and Foo lead us around battling tooth and nail against Seleen and his minions.
The End of LV: JV1V just the scale of it all. Not much fun for me but being involved in such a massive assault.. its something that you never forge.
Outbreak: My first time ever leading a fleet over 50. TT wanted us to take on Outbreak in utopia. Lets just say ive never been so stressed out before. WE didnt end up winning the day but I think that was the most excitement ive had as an FC. Doing covert warp ins and trying my best to keep the fleet together. All the while knowing Outbreak had TS spies and we had no real chance of suprise. Watching real pros do PVP is always a learning experience.
49-. Wow, killing the MC mom and then killing the ISS moms. Was just hours and hours of non stop action both times. Cout Ts mom just on the edge of a grid made it really fun. heh that station always was oddly placed on the grid.
49-. When MC, Oddessy along with Iron and CVA plus KIA came down to play. Not really sure what was going on just remember the massive fight on the 4-0 gate that lasted forever. My hic took like 50k damage throughout the fight. What a battle. probs to KIA for jumping into that mess.
FAT FAT FAT Wow, holding onto FAT for 1 month against the combined GBC/MC/FIX/ISS group as they pounded on us. Was a major point of pride that we held on that long. Not really big on any single one fight but the whole month was just something else. Knowing your going to lose but fighting none the less making it to the next day.
5-n. I heard the stories and FCd some of it. Combined IAC goon Cap fleets stuck in a tower hics and titans on all sides.
It seems that some of my most memorable experiences in EVE have revolved around a few common trends. MC, BOB, and FIX.
My respect for them for keeping EVE exciting and changing has never really failed. I still have a soft spot in my heart for FIX. MC i hate you but i respect you, and very few in EVE will ever truely know what its like to face down a foe like you and stand to survive the day.
BOB.. well enough has been said about them.
Thundirr out.

Originally by: Porgy Battle for MJ-
That system lit up like the red light district on the map for a week straight, huge fleets and I constantly thought I was looking and local filled with 800+ pilots. Smashkill fighting of entire MAD pact. And of course God's Army reeatedly warping us to 0.
MJ- for me also.
It was a great battle, no real cap involvement, just loads of battleships for the most part and most of the local was pretty good natured.
I was fc'ing the MADPACT side and it was really incredible how clear TS was and how well the gang ran for the most part considering how many different groups were in it.
On the first night I think we had about 300 in our gang which was great to see, the only problem was every step we took in EU tz was lost in US tz. That and the fact that after the third day I think everyone in MADPAT wanted to kill Imperial Order more than RK because of the state of their POS and total absence of any POS gunners
I turned up at short notice on day 1 in a ratting raven and was stuck in it all week :)

I would say that defence of JV1 has gotta be one of my favorites. It was that or the defence of 0-W and DG- in Detorid.
I was either tackling or jamming like mad. I also loved the hit and run strikes on goons that abu led. I also got on one of the funniest kills I have ever seen as well. where goons were shooting each other >< -------- I am Anti-Macro, I am Anti-Roadkill, I am Anti-Asshats.

ED-L9T, the second battle (FIX vs AAA), ED was the sight of the famous Easter Egg prior to this where FIX first fought SA and won, then BoB and lost the day along with the egg itself.
The second battle was by far a favorite, mainly due to both sides having a firm foothold in system and lines of reinforcement during the majority of the 3 days of battle. Only two jumps from Empire through 3FK, the nearest empire station in Badivefi is only 6 or so jumps away. FIX basing out of 9CG at the time were able to approach from two directions, and the side system of 9SBB connected to 3FK and ED creating some interesting opportunites. Couldn't ask for a more interesting backdrop.
End of day 1: 'It didn't hatch??? OMFG! AGAIN!?!?!' End of day 2: 'It didn't hatch AGAIN!... guys, I need sleep ' End of day 3: 'Intel Intel, FIX FTW!' Admentus
In my mind, it's one of the last great battles I got to participate in. Capitals were comparatively low in number, and of those that were present a healthy proportion of them were destroyed. If I recall it, 2 RA dreads during the first day when things were supremely hairy at the Egg itself, and 3 AAA carriers late in the second day when finally caught at a deep safe. Might have been 6 FIX carriers that were lost, but hard to recall, I'm sure a number of them were caught outside POS shields.
The real highlights were the extremely sweet and satisfying fleet battles... oh so many battles. A mention has to go to Zangief's Fighter Swarm starting on the second day when FIX had brought out approx. 25 carriers to assign fighters to over 60 support ships who then bounced off every celestial object in system in quick succession, picking up a tremendous selection of kills.
AAA had an excellent tactic of assigning clean up groups during fleet battles that would chase down those who warped out, they picked up many kills in this manner, but many ultimately fell victim to manic fighter bombing tactics.
The three days was simply put, glorious pvp variety. Name the type of engagement, it was fought in those three days.
The second battle of ED had over 1000 ships lost, the first around 800 in the space of two days. Between them, it's made ED the bloodiest fought system for creating a station in EVE. These days, its sees about 10 people in system at prime time.
I'm still a fan of AAA for that battle, as well as the many fights in the 49-U area they also provided prior to CODA. Running a very close second is fighting IAC, many very memorable battles with these guys.

Baranor, Portney, Kir Laeda and I have been fighting non stop since Beta the incredible force of Sansha in Stain.
let me tell you, it is something not appropriate for sensitive soul.
As of today, we have not been able to break their moral but the killboard looks good in our favor, check those stats:
TOTAL of 174,672 kills (with 42,824 BS kills) TOTAL LOSSES on our side: 29 (including 7 BSs)
Those numbers put us directly on the top of the Eve fighters list fighting the longest ever battle in Eve history.
The battle is still going on and the 3 of us have great hope removing the Sansha nation from Stain region very soon.
Please contact Baranor or Portney ingame for more details if you wish to participate to this epic ongoing battle.

Edited by: Lowa on 07/08/2008 13:14:09 Good thread!
1. Initial fight of the GNW; PA vs BoB (before they were called that) and F-E First large scale battle I experienced. I was, naturally, in a Black Bird. I survived.
2. Not a fight really, but it was the day/days before the above. CoD/FU had reset PA or something and was thinking of joining BoB side or just leaving PA behind, no big deal really these days. The big deal was when a large fleet of PA patrolled down the pipe towards EC- and we hit upon a equally large CoD/FU fleet that shows orange and in their midst a BoB ship, DBP or some such. We wanted to kill him ofc but we were told that any agression on that ship would put us to war. Both fleets travelled side by side over at least 10 jumps with the tention ever growing, I was shaking so badly.
3. MC vs FOE and the comment "This was close..." when a slight error in jump range occured and instead of dropping out at 60 we landed point blank range. Both fleets were so surprised it took seconds before any action and dispite our miss (or perhaps thanks to) the K/D was 2:2 on BS.

For me it has to be between the 2004 Omega Corp (curse alliance) VS The Collective (stain allaince) in a fight for the very first conquerable stations. This was back when ravens could fit cap power relays with no shield boost penalty and cruise missiles would mess up your alignment.
The battle raged for hours each day and the station switched hands until omega unveiled its cav ravens and then it was all over.
A close second was the PNQY 3 way. PL had come with a sniper fleet to fight Bruce and was doing so when BOB jumped in with a close range bs fleet. PL pulled off and opened convo with the Bruce FC we both agreed to a temporary NAP. BOB jumped into Bruce. Bruce's crappy rr BS fit aka "mark III" actually mattered at close range and then PL warped in at snipe range and started hitting BOB as well. **** followed.
Third is the night of HAC death when BOB thought they could play our game better than us and found out the hard way no one beats PL in a HAC fight. Shamis was really on that night and having flown wit both him, duke, and tholarim it left me with a real sense of what its like o fly with a great FC. ----------------------------------------------

Originally by: Eaiaden Fresh battle last night was one of the funniest ive had in a long time.
-A- come to F4R2 in catch with a 100+ man fleet, mostly nano hacs and recons, IAC deploy a defence fleet, within short time 150+ to counter the intruders, the first hour we slug it out at the IAC station, lag is bad, but still playable.
After the first hour, the battle breaks up, and we re-engage eatchother in one of the belts, another slug fest begins, in total almost 3 hour non stop combat, total isk loss to our foes was 12bill, IAC lost 10bill worth of ships that day, all conventional ships.
No smack in local, just pure fun, was an all round great fight, even the pilots that lost multible ships where laughing all night.
-A- thanks for bringing it, and as usual acting pros with no smack and being an exxelent foe to fight.
The recent battle in ZXIC is my favorite so far. IAC reinforces the tower -A- deployed with Vanguard in support, and right after the dreadnoughts leave the field, an -A- dictor pilot with Balls That Must Be Respected warps in and drops a bubble on the two Vanguard carriers that were aligning to warp (naturally, we couldn't use the cyno generator in MB- with the IAC capitals). A few minutes of furious combat ensues between the -A- HAC fleet and the POS bashing fleet while the two of us try to last out the bubbles, then several other dictors warp in right afterwards and drop more on us. Queen Raven gets her ship out by cynoing to Vanguard's cyno generator in the area in the short window between bubbles, while I opted to warp to the jump bridge, getting caught in another bubble aligning. I basically had to pull a Marko Ramius and align under cloak (why I wasn't locked up immediately, I have no idea), and wait for the second bubble to drop, then warped out underneath an impressive battle.
Its not the size of the engagement, its the nature of the battle that sticks out to me. In the event of an emergency, my ego may be used as a floatation device.

And yes, the "PA's last stand in 6nj"-movie is still today one of the few that shows basic fleet battle tactics at its best (and PA at its worst ) along with really good TS ("-Jammers! Cycle jam if possible!" ***). I still hold it up there with the best ever made. Good times!

MY most memorable fleet battle wasnt the battle itself but the events immediately after it. FIX and Co, had been fighting -A-, IAC, and everyone else it seemed down in 49-u for weeks. And one day after some decent fights we found ourselves all camped into the station (not exactly a rare occurence but we got our licks in too). When all of a sudden the IAC guys start begging us to come out of station with promises that they wouldnt shoot us (not in a "come here little noob" way). So we're all sitting there going "WTF" right, when someone found the fortitude to undock only to find....
IAC and FIX put down the guns for maybe an hour and a half in 49-u... And we made a conga line around the station...
and we made some nice breasts as well.
IAC, props. Always was fun to fight you guys, those truly were the good ole days.

the 9-9 fight was crazy too
Can't remember the system but it was a goon/AAA right at the gate with cap ships + fleet. Think this is where Suas lost his mom. It was a great fight that lasted quite a while.

Originally by: Necronomicon The taking down of the CoW POS in 9GNS in Syndicate for Goonswarm was also a highlight. We were lacking in capitals and the tower was well setup. We asked if GS could lend support.
Cue 200 goons throwing themselves repeatedly at the pos to draw fire. The cans stretched like a chain of pearls across 100km of space. When they died they just grabbed another frig/cruiser and did it again until the POS was down.
Was an amazing sight to behold, and one of the reasons why - as much as some of them wind me up by being terrible poasters - we love the bees.
Just a few corrections here, the system was Y9G and it was the final CoW POS left at the very end of Operation Revolver. I was the FC in charge of the whole operation and I gave the order for everyone to suicide their ships against the POS to divert fire away from the Dreads, because they got disconnected. (They were being multiboxed from the same house and lost their internet for a bit). Luckily it worked and the Dreads were saved. Back then they were all fitted out with Deadspace mods and stuff as well.
Only complaint I ever got from people were the fact that they couldn't get a warpin near the POS, and it is my proudest moment in EVE to this date.

-A- v. FIX stupid ******g troll
Edit: ohh, your thinking of the time FIX was getting raided by everyone and their mother. Why do i fall for these stupid trolls Support Sarmaul's Genius MWD Alternative |

This.
It's funny how they just keep running into the smartbombs 1 at a time, I was cloaked under the station somewhere while this was happening. Priceless.

Being australian timezone kind of blows for me to see any real large fleet fight. The ones i have seen to note would be during the Insurg/TRI vs NC war just a few days before TRI announced they would be closing there doors and the space vacuum got switched on.
Insurg+TRI were camping the BKG gate in Z-K (entry choke point to the insurg d4r const). NC Roaming fleet (i think) jump in to z-k comming back from the d4r const direction and at same time fleet jumps into z-k from bkg tackling ~5 moms and bunch of carriers and some normal stuff, lag gets worse.
Carriers and Moms are spider tanking, points are kept on the 6 or so moms and about 5 carriers after normal fleet ships were killed and or warped out, slowly pick off the carriers working our ways down to the moms, about 5 or so mins module lag on each gun (i find myself switching on guns and then switching off half to be intime to start fiiring on the next target). 5 or so carriers down then go to work on the remote repping moms (including darkness), all other moms warp out bar darkness and someone else (forget the name :()
Darkness is called primary and we start picking away at him, no knowing if we had dictors still alive and or bubbling lol let alone enough non lagg effected bs's to take him down, after i would say about 10mins or so he finally pops and that sees the end to about a 40-50min fight in total.

Originally by: Avernus ED-L9T, the second battle (FIX vs AAA), ED was the sight of the famous Easter Egg prior to this where FIX first fought SA and won, then BoB and lost the day along with the egg itself.
The second battle was by far a favorite, mainly due to both sides having a firm foothold in system and lines of reinforcement during the majority of the 3 days of battle. Only two jumps from Empire through 3FK, the nearest empire station in Badivefi is only 6 or so jumps away. FIX basing out of 9CG at the time were able to approach from two directions, and the side system of 9SBB connected to 3FK and ED creating some interesting opportunites. Couldn't ask for a more interesting backdrop.
End of day 1: 'It didn't hatch??? OMFG! AGAIN!?!?!' End of day 2: 'It didn't hatch AGAIN!... guys, I need sleep ' End of day 3: 'Intel Intel, FIX FTW!' Admentus
In my mind, it's one of the last great battles I got to participate in. Capitals were comparatively low in number, and of those that were present a healthy proportion of them were destroyed. If I recall it, 2 RA dreads during the first day when things were supremely hairy at the Egg itself, and 3 AAA carriers late in the second day when finally caught at a deep safe. Might have been 6 FIX carriers that were lost, but hard to recall, I'm sure a number of them were caught outside POS shields.
The real highlights were the extremely sweet and satisfying fleet battles... oh so many battles. A mention has to go to Zangief's Fighter Swarm starting on the second day when FIX had brought out approx. 25 carriers to assign fighters to over 60 support ships who then bounced off every celestial object in system in quick succession, picking up a tremendous selection of kills.
AAA had an excellent tactic of assigning clean up groups during fleet battles that would chase down those who warped out, they picked up many kills in this manner, but many ultimately fell victim to manic fighter bombing tactics.
The three days was simply put, glorious pvp variety. Name the type of engagement, it was fought in those three days.
The second battle of ED had over 1000 ships lost, the first around 800 in the space of two days. Between them, it's made ED the bloodiest fought system for creating a station in EVE. These days, its sees about 10 people in system at prime time.
I'm still a fan of AAA for that battle, as well as the many fights in the 49-U area they also provided prior to CODA. Running a very close second is fighting IAC, many very memorable battles with these guys.

too many top fleet fights to pick from, seen it all and fought most people, "destroyed" alliances and taken the most space then anyone before.
The ones that stand out for me though in memory are my first ones against BoB in NSA when they invated Fade/Deklein after the GNW. Such a slaughter and a powerful foe. Never hated one entity as much as i did BoB, ripped apart my alliance and destroyed friendships between the corps, <3 Exodus. It was an awesome rush fighting the biggest and the best. I just hope our enemies (the pvp'rs) are experiencing the same thing i did when fighting BoB. Then again the game was a lot diffrent back then :P

Rumble in the Graveyard, & the hundreds of other fights in U-Q were great fun, even if it did get a little repetetive after a while. Entire fleets of scorpions & dual MWD ravens haha. I remember crashing the node with just over 100 players a side at one point, & now people complain at a 700 player limit.
Was also there for F-T but that mostly consisted of reading a book while my PC slowly digested itself.

Edited by: Vasponger on 10/08/2008 16:36:20 Edited by: Vasponger on 10/08/2008 16:36:07 my personal fav, wasnt a big battle or anything. Late one night we decided to go on a lil roam to fade to tuck Darkness Rising into bed. Make a small trip back in their systems no response for all their smack. So we start heading back home. They warp a gang to the gate in C4C. Zen's spacebar was broke so it made local all that much better.
we had: 2x domi, cerb, rapier (darklin, zen, yakks, and myself) they had: 3x drake, ares, slepneir, mega, domi, cyclone, caracal, kestrel, broadsword.
we take no losses and kill all but the broadsword who warped off.
and heres local

the summer of 07, 49-u fight was loads of fun, login get in gang and start fighting all day.
some nice larger battles but the small 10-15 man sniper runs on the IAC who were attacking FIX pos's were always the best :)

The first couple of SPA rr gangs vs smash/roadkill in BWF while RR gangs still were pretty new, 20 SPA bs vs 50 smash/roadkill that just kept coming back in diffrent ships, was a blast untill the rest of tri joined in and destroyed it all ;) <3
0utbreak vs KIA/IAC in litom (or was it utopia?), I cant even remember how many times i had to warp in and out since i was pretty much the only dictor.
First time I encoutered a SERA (before they joined MC) rr-bs gang when i was in the priory, was in doril i believe, they totaly ****d us btw |
