Interesting I am wondering why m0o says they didn't really have that many members there lost 3 cruisers and then claim they killed the battleship?
Maybe someone else there did :).
From what I can piece together from both stories the corn. corp warped in to gate which gives the camper the advantage in all cases no matter what you do. They fought some both sides lost some ships it looked close m0o and whoever else their buddies warped away or jumped to save their ships as did corn and end of story...
So it was close and both sides had fun hopefully since that is what it's all about.
I would hope everyone would cease the pointing of fingers and trying to correct one another to save each others face just hey we had a good time ;).
I don't really soo how m0o can claim the kill though if they had no members really there :).
Maybe give some credit to your allies perhaps.

Without doubt the most interesting thing happening in Eve at the moment. Been targetted a few times the last few days and it certainly gets the heart pumping.
It just a shame you cant buy a ticket in an 'observation' ship to watch the light show kinda like those glass bottomed ships you get on holiday!

I'd just like to say well done to Cornexant for actually standing up. I'm sure its easier for you to keep to yourselves. Plus its nice to see MOO getting a kicking. Nice. :)

I was hearing about this attack a little earlier today and was beside myself. I heard corps out there had batteships already, but I wasn't sure if they were going to use them or not. I guess odds will be against pirate corps that blaitantly camp certain systems from now on. Entire fleets will know exactly where you find them. I know m0o loves Mara, and I got nothing wrong with that. But after what happened today it just shows how an entire fleet from a mid sized corp can really lay down the law. kudos to you guys, also kudos to m0o and your strong defense. It's good to see that you are fighting a large force the best you can, and not running away at first sight. I'm sure tides will shift back and forth between PC pirates and other corps, but that's what makes the game so damn fun.
Work it!

Excellent job.
For the record, I saw a Megathron Battle ship yesterday ( a DEV owned one). Absolutely massive it was.

I won't get hung up on the battleship kill. We knew it would be the main target, and suspected that result. Cornexant corp has produced several of them and we have them in reserve stockpiled.
What?!
You had *several* battleships but *CHOSE* only to use ONE in combat?
Are you mad?

Can we make an in game chan (or an irc one) for poeple that would like to (eventually) commit resources to future engagements with mOo, coz me and my guys sure as hell would, and another 4 cruisers would have been an asset.
The bad guys are allying, lets us good guys do it to :D

I am thinking the same thing Callas, either that or he isnt being honest about the stockpile.

id have to say this was a good battle. and i havent been in many PvP confrontations at all. its nice to get away from blasting npc's all day. HAHA i could have been the 4th cornexant loss, but my timing of a warp could not have been better. anyways, it was a good operation, even if 100+ cargo containers at the passari-->mara gate lag u like youve never been lagged before :/ we can only expect more large battles like this as time goes on, and corps get more developed. I mean...we have been live for less than 2 months, geez...
btw, we dont have many bship pilots...thats why we only brought out 1 scorp

People tend to forget a few things. After getting frigate lvl4 small turrets lvl4 etc. then you got your first cruiser and medium turret lvl1 and cruiser lvl1. You absicly fought like a girl in it.
Same with battleships. nothing god taking it out in abttle, if you are very poor to fly and use it due to skills.

Next time in such an op, please alert Novatech Enterprises aswell. We did a succesfull up with infinicorp the other day. I think alot of our members would be willing to join in and be part of another raid versus spectral armada and m0o.

Outnumbered outshmumbered.
It is as it should be.
If you end up in a fair fight you didn't plan your mission right.
Do you think the pirates wanted a fair fight? What they wanted was an unfair fight in their favour. As always.
Next time take double the numbers. If you are going to smash these nuts you may as well use a sledgehammer.

Agreed. Corn could easily have multiple BSes in reserve, but only one pilot truly qualified to fly it.
And as one of them said, it was a test/probe/feeler run.
Next time around I'm sure Cornexant will bring some more firepower.

im not gonan read all the post above. Cause most likely its flames and ppl whinign again.
But hte fact is =D there were 3 m0o in the area. I personaly downed 2 crusiers and taken a huge chunk of the battleship when it went down. Was fun finaly!
And the high light of course was me porting back after the fight and meeting one of the zerger corp moa. and see him screaming in local: HELP MIK IS HERE HELP! and then 6 more cruisers jump in jsut ot jump cout cause 2 more cruiser form m0o warped to the gate.
P.S. M0o did loose a curiser who warped back to the gate too early after hte fight =D and a crusier so we ahd loses too=D
Spectral Armada guys lost some ships but nothing big cause they were all in noob ill equiped ships. =D still nice goign guys who dares wins right?=D

OK, for those that say we grossly outnumbered the m0o/SA alliance, heres the e-mail i got after the Scorp got blown up.

Maybe it's just me, but I cound at least 9 people that had me targetted. I know that wasn't all that was there either.
Let it also be said that regardless of our numbers, people in stationary positions always have the advantage in combat situations. M0o/SA deployed a loarge number of cargo containers/mines in order to increase the load time when Corn came out of warp, thereby increasing their time advantage over us. When I fianlly got "unstuck" after warping in, my shields were already about half gone, and with 2 tactical sheild mods and a large shiled booster, thats saying something.
Ywev prolly wet his pants or something cause he was so excited. I wish he could be civilized about it like j0rt or stavr0s were, rather than resorting to cheap shots against me or my corp-mates. Heck, I even congratulated them on the bship kill.
What some people fail to remember is, it's just a game. If you go thru the whole thing without something like this happening, I think you're playing wrong. :P
Anyways, grats to m0o/SA on the first bship kill in live. Hopefully we can return the favor soon. :) It's fitting I think since I'm pretty sure Corn had one of the first in beta when we killed Shadowlight in his Raven.
Also, in regards to why we only brought 1 bship, it's because I'm one of the only ones that can fly them. :P

Mikhail, you say there were only 3 m0o in the area, why was i targetted by 9 people then? I know there were more than 3 of them who are m0o. Stop trying to make it sound like you guys were completely outnumbered please

Good show against m0o. And I agree with you not sending all your BBs in at once. For one I doubt you have enough skilled pilots and you more then likly wanted to see how the BB handled against m0o. Only an unskilled tactician or a desperate commander would commit ALL his resources to the first battle.
Now you are better prepared the next time this happens. Oh, and keep up the psyops war. Don't let em in on how many BBs and skilled pilots you have for those BBS.

I count 5 m0o, two SA, one serious solo pirate and one wannabe there. Assuming j0rt was in the battleship that's 8 cruisers and one battleship targeting the opposing battleship. Doesn't sound too outnumbered to me :D

I sadly missed this entire event; ferrying tritanium from Stain. Now what I say is that the Devs get "Camera drones" to watch this thing so observers can watch this. I really wanted to see it. From what I've heard it was chaotic. Gotta love chaotic.

hey hey im back :P Ok lemme get right to it, i took 3 screenshots, they are availible for purchase - selling for 5mil isk all...they are pretty same, also will throw in some shots of Polaris Frigate(a lot of him...) and a little private collection. Anyway, i gotta say that i hate Microsoft badly after this battle because of that "start" button on the keyboard. the moment all of con warped in (and i gotta give u that, u guys warped in all at once, not like many who tried that one before :) *cough novatech cough*) anyway, i hit this stupid button istead of Ctrl so i go straight to desktop...thats a slop to CCP, u should at least disable that button cuz it does NOTHING(i. e doesnt even bring up the start menu). Well, i restart the game real quick and when i come back im already down to like 12% hull...So i jump. I take my 8 minutes to go repair in a station, pay 30k, come back. We had a meeting point with the guys that got out. But i see them move away, and UNFORTUNATELY i didnt pay attention to where they were going...so i figure they are going back. well, i go jump back and i get targeted by 5 cruisers and loose my rifter :P oh well, no big deal, i eat those for lunch, but it all kinda sucked due to my dumbness or whatever...so noone to blame cept myself. Oh yeah, by the way, we realy did think more bships were coming, but we were given instructions to target the scorpion w/ all we got and then jump. obviously Mikhail got a little excited there :)))I dont know what 6 corpses r u guys talking about but i know that 1 m0o got podded and 1 sa...The funniest thing about this whole thing - we let 2 nubships just stick around and watch the whole ordeal :P it was pretty funny, i bet that was scary to watch....I would like to hear from CN guys on how effective those mines were? They make nice explosions, but i dont feel like they are much of use except lag material.
Ps. Hey, i let CN guys pass for free...not happening again :)
Ask me nicely and I won't pod you... |

arrrrghhhh..... I also have just 1 screenshot, not much but hey it shows we were about 10 players and 3 or 4 were frigates:)
As Morph said, I blame Mikhail, russian****get:) he got so damn excited and was saying he is killing everyone that we warped back to Mara gate, where guess what, me in a Griffin jumps straight in and gets blown up by our own mines:), I know for sure another m0o member came with me and he also lost ship. I go to Lai Dai station and try to dock, some dude picks me ad I get podded, not that I gave a **** at that point, I had a nice 16k clone.
Well I'm glad to say that me in my ****ty Griffing managed to lock on and jamm the Scorpion Battleship. We could have all got away if it wasn't for some messing up and getting to excited, we had a nice plan, shame everyone went beserk.
In all it was some crazy fun, we were overpowered, and we did all we could to have the upper hand. I can't say for sure but so far I know only of 2 players that got podded, if you guys picked any other players up then it must have been from before, players that we killed or your own:)
I'm not bothered getting podded as I'm waiting for my MOA to finish production, sorry for SA and m0o that lost cruisers.
I give thumbs up to everyone involved. Next time it will be more ugly I believe.
Morph can I please have your screenshots... message me in game with link to them plz.

I didn't fire one shot I had no weapons, I was there to jamm the battleship only:) That was my only goal at all costs.
