The video has been removed from the link you gave - I found a copy on a different network but the quality is very poor.
Firing a doomsday doesn't make any sense either - the risk to the friendly station they were defending would be too great (think of the Yulai attack) and it would wipe out most of the Gallente ships as well. -----------------------

here it still opens.
Well if you pay attention at the very end the erebus is activating its DD while over ships. Golden ships. That erebus had landed close to the ammar fleet. While the gallente fleet (based on the previous scene was at the other side of station and pretty far).
But based on the angles of the footage the scope shuttle was near the station between both fleets, very likely within range of the blast.

I got the somewhat better qualiy footage now and have been discussing it with a coupple friends...it seems that the Erebus was flown in through a second cyno behind the Amarr lines - I guess what some capuleers call "hot-dropping" - and a doomsday launched out of range of the station or the bulk of the Navy ships.
At the same time, there was dogfighting over the planets too. -----------------------

pretty much agree. Also notice that int he smaller video within the video. Just before the federation cyno opens. It talks about heavy fighting etc.. and a rifter passes by in that window. That means there were republic fleets along federation ships? Would not be surprising since federation fleet was shadowing the ammar fleets doing exercises early this week.

I just noticed something interesting in the footage. Both the revelation and the moros are MOVING while firing. As a dreadnaught pilot myself I must say this is unsettling. No serious dreadnaught pilot would fight out of siege mode. So could this be all a encenation?
Simply WTF? Or this is all fake or the navies have downgraded so much their pilots training that neither side knew what the siege button was made for.

Initially, this is the most embarrasing thing to happen to House Kador in a looong time. I mean, what did he expect to get done without the backing of the Ministry of War, or at least another royal house?
As has been stated before, however, Uriam Kador is not stupid; one is not that stupid and expect to remain a royal heir for long. I suspect there was another objective behind this invasion; time will tell if the House Kador forces managed to accomplish that goal.
As to the suspicions that the meeting between Catiz Tash-Murkon and Uriam Kador have something to do with this, I hope it is not so. That would be an even greater embarrasment than if it were simply Kador having gone mad. ----------------------------------------------

Perhaps their fleet commanders considered mobility a more important priority than raw firepower at that point? Things appeared to be moving fairly quickly there, and locking oneself down in siege mode when not bombarding a stationary target would be a bit silly.

No civilian fatalities from the station have been reported.
There are two Federation Navy logistic stations in Ratillose (the defenses, the other two stations in system are owned by Egonics. Three of the four stations orbit the moons of Ratillose V, the only settled planet in the system. Attacks were launched on the Navy stations and over the surface of Ratillose V. Four of the other five planets in the system are ice worlds, Ratillose VI is a gas giant. There is an ice field and 5 asteroid fields in the orbit patch of Ratillose V and one near planet VI, but it's not as if the Amarr have a shortage of their own.
So if we're looking for motivations and if they exist in the system, it's either a Navy connection or something on Ratillose V. Unless Kador's reputed fling with a Gallente actress left him with something of a grudge against Egonics, but he would have to be truly stupid to crate an international incident over it. -----------------------

One would expect any one of the nations in the cluster to be able to defend themselves against a force four times smaller.
And this is also the explanation for siege mode. When the enemy is running and in dissarray, and in such a smaller proportion, you don't need siege mode, they are already completely overwhelmed.

I'd love to see your proof of this. And if you can't provide any proof, I'd kindly request you don't make silly statements like this.
Originally by: Elias Modron We still have teeth.

We have always had teeth, but they were not always this sharp. To be quite frank, anyone who considers or considered the Federation Navy weak and/or incompetent is seriously ignorant of facts.
As for the theory that the Navy has something to do with this because they needed to "clear their name" or whatever, after the Caldari invasion; I say that's bull. Anyone with some brains will realize why the Federation was unable to oppose that invasion, the facts are readily available to anyone that look for them.
Really, the only question here is now "would this have worked for the Kador's a few months back?" because the answer to that question is absolutely NO. The real question is:
What possessed the Kador heir to embark on a military invasion of another state that was unsupported and doomed to fail? The answer to this can be so many things and I suspect that, as usually, we won't be told a thing unless anyone responsible steps up to offer answers.

I have to ask the Pilots here if they honestly believe this "invasion" force was unintentionally small. We have seen the size of a small portion of the Imperial Navy during the coronation ceremonies, this was a "drop in the bucket". This was merely a test, nothing more, nothing less.
Kador with get a public reprimand (a slap on the wrist more than likely) while the Empire and the State has received valuable information.

What you fail to realize, mistress Subaka, is that a portion of the Amarrian imperial fleet entered Federation space and died a swift and merciless death. No matter what the reasons might be, testing or not, this was a victory and a successful defense of Federation space.
I for one is happy to know these kinds of things are being responded to, and that a portion of the Imperial fleet, regardless of size, won't bother us ever again.

ill repeat myself, if only for you.
As someone who used to fly for the navy, as most gallente pod pilots have..
Originally by: Myxx I'd be more worried of any retaliation against the empire now than anything.
just because theres a public repremand does not mean it will not go unanswered.
if anything, if i were the state, id look at pulling out of luminaire right about now. the federation is just giving the state and the empire enough rope to get arrogant with before they hang themselves in a rather embarassing way.
just because they dont immediately retaliate doesnt mean it wont go without one somewhere down the line.
Gallente are smart and dont mind taking time to exact horrible revenge. ----

Perhaps our ships are not as capable as those used by the empire Navies.
Empire navies do NOT possess more advanced technology than the capsuleers. That is one of the main reason the empires fear us. We buy our blueprints directly from the same labs that develop them to the empire. And we can pay as much as the empires or sometimes more. The simple fact that capsuleers have far superior numbers on second generation ships (like vagabons, sacriledge, Vargur, Paladin) then the empires just makes this point stronger. In fact usually capsuleers possess the most advanced ships (although still in smaller numbers)
Also considering that ALL warfare experience that all the current living and in service members of the 4 empires military forces is far far FAR smaller than the fighting experience of the unaligned capsuleers alliances put in high questioning the idea that they could judge better how to use a dreadnaught fleet. Almost all the experienced members end up on DED seems , since they are the only ones with constant combat experience.
A simple advise to those military experts ... a simple battleship has far more firepower than a dreadnaught out of siege. So unless you were trying to show of an intrincated military parade with special effects, your tactics fail. Luckly for you Kador tacticians are even worse.
People must stop living in the past! We are in the age where WAR is the realm of the capsuleers, the governments are secondary players on that realm and if they continue to show signs of stupidity like this "invasion" They might be showing themselves as pretty juicy easy target for some future super coalition of capsuleers. Myself, if i lived in Kadoir space woudl be worried now with the terrorist matari oriented capsuleer forces, that coudl seek to take proffit on the crippled defense condition of kador fleet.

What utter tripe. Are you seriously suggesting that a demonstration of the ability to defend itself adeptly shows that the Federation is weak? I've seen impressive delusions in my time, but this one takes the cake. -----

Billions of incomplete lives. Billions of children deprived of the chance of finding their path in life and choose their own paths as you very well call of to.
The military fighting there are not my concern, specially since a considerable quantity of them is immortal. But The civilians that will get slaughtered are.

Ammar military doctrine calls for acting in a swift and direct way. Probing and faking attacks is considered lowly tactics (and associated with the minmatar therefore on the ammar doctrine eyes). Ammar commanders do not think on these terms and that is what allowed us to rebel and take freedom.
Also if you think the response force of the gallenteans are anything more than a TOKEN of their main fleet youa re utterly mistaken. Gallente economy is more than twofold the ammar Empire economy and would be very unlikely that after luminarie incident the gallente navy were not boosted to match ammar navy numbers. This would not be even a chalange to gallente economy. The only thing that prevents gallente from reaching utter military supremacy is their nature as a people that prevent much of a focus on an aggressive stance, causing civilian problems if forced upon. That limits the ammount of manpower gallente society can put into direct conflict.
But if gallente president is smart, and I am sure he is, he would have noticed that they have a group of allies that would have no moral, or social complications preventing a massive dedication of the manpower into warfare... an ally that just need ships... an ally than when supplied with material have kicked even the mighty concord on their balls.

Mrs. Subaka, do you read the news? The coronation ceremony flexed a lot of military muscle indeed, but the amarr empire denied any affiliation with this incident, as it was Kador and Kador alone who did this.
"Oh dear," says God, "I hadn't thought of that," and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic. |
