The thing about this is our numbers were dead even. There has never been parity in supers like this before. The final x47 timer where we went 20-1 in titans the north was within 10 total titans of us (out of about 400) and had more supers.

So you see it wasn't guns or bombs that brought down PL but the simplest of God's creatures Icelanders finally correcting broken things. Oh yeah almost forgot: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r7MDdcVJ1LE Alkabob fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Sep 14, 2018 |

If at any given moment, N3 ping for all hands on dick supercarriers and capital ships, they will get more individual people in fleet than your entire coalition can combined on its very best day. This isn't conjecture, this is something that has been proven again and again because your leaders like to bury their heads in the sand and ignore the game itself in favor of posting and posturing and writing tl;dr CEO updates about garbage that will never see the light of day (and if it does, the only place it will be is on the killboard of my alliance) instead of realizing that every capital and supercapital pilot with a pulse and a will to use their dread/super/titan/slowcat is gravitating towards one side because hey, guess what, that side actually DOES use their big toys on the regular and when push comes to shove as evidenced by the fight in DY- your alliance is literally impotent. If a super 'fight' actually happens, it isn't going to be an actual fight, it is going to be a CFC gangrape hosted by Manny, Grath and Vince and you'll have no one to blame but your own leaders and FCs for being yes men faggots instead of growing a pair of balls and equipping some initiative.

Rhymenoserous posted:PL was on our side during the whole BoB thing which is near and dear to the directorates heart despite literally not mattering at all anymore. This was a lot less true than you think when I was a director (some years ago now). It was more often a case of 'well we don't have a good way of seriously hurting them so let's make a virtue of it' iirc. I personally thought they were dicks ever since they blew up a thunder dome or something we held to celebrate the end of Delve 2 ![]()

working mom posted:The uncounterable invulnerability they have is dumb Before we started murdering citadels in the north, we would kill rorquals all the time in the north. Rorquals die in delve all the time too. It's only "uncounterable" if you use the word like globby does. As in "we could counter it if we put forth a bit of effort, but naaaah"

Gives them enough time to show up.

"uncounterable" is Elite-PVP-ese for "can't be killed by 5 interceptors" as usual it falls to us, lords of eve online: a space-themed spreadsheet, to assume the mantle of Space Wildlife Fund for atto-gang PVP players

Gwyneth Palpate posted:"uncounterable" is Elite-PVP-ese for "can't be killed by 5 interceptors" Its like kill board obsessed gankers are terminally afraid of having to commit to a fight. Maybe if they poo poo post hard enough fozzy will make the angel Titans nano Titans.

yeah we didn't slaughter the north's titans like so many terrified cattle by being unwilling to accept losses, we threw down expecting to lose more than we gained and fight anyway and then whoops the first fight was even and the second fight was, well, a slaughter of terrified cattle each more concerned with fleeing than with fighting

Bilirubin posted:WTF is an "angel" they are a pirate faction that occupy the minmatar flavored nullsec their ships are the dramiel, cynabal, and machariel, all go-fast nano boats with a warp speed bonus since all the other faction titans have roughly the same bonuses as their subcap brethren, it stands to reason that their titan will too, and as the original hyperspatial hel haver, the whole possibility gives me a funny tickle in my no-no spot
