So this is an armor timer for our Keepstar in M2-XFE, and the system isn't jammed?

On the INN stream I see supers from both sides, and the jammer symbol is flashing - does that mean one is onlining now?

Hopefully today is the day my titan dies.

The jammer will be online in 2 minutes.

Alright, so it's a hostile jammer and it's our keepstar, meaning we have less than 2 minutes to commit ~ everything ~ or not?

Turns out the cyno jammer on lining timeR is also effected by TIDI LOL

the point of the jammers is so that they can jump everyone into the system and then quickly online the jammer, which only takes 5 minutes, to prevent us from jumping in our titan fleet. it would be dangerous to jump in when there is a possibility that half the fleet would get cut off when the jammer onlined and we'd get massacred, and there's basically no other way to challenge a super/titan fleet other than another larger super/titan. with the jammers there's little chance that they get a fight and they won't take any losses.

in this case we paused the jammer onlining for an extra 15 minutes, 15 minutes that happen to go in tidi, which gave us plenty of time to get everyone into system. papi decided to just go for it anyway, which like props to them.

this might end up being one of the biggest battles in eve history

How can CCP give the excuse that citadel timers can’t be tied to TIDI, when cyno jammers and entosing timers are all effected by TIDI....

Easy, just have both timer not be linked to the same timer system. The jammer could be on the local node time setting while the vulnerability window could be on the entire game universe. It's :ccp: so it does not really have to make sense.

CCP inadvertently tied the new citadel timers to the 2003 POS code didn't they?? and now they can't change it without destroying the game

It's not CCP's servers.

Right now both sides have supercarriers and titans committed, and a jammer just went up, so no more supers on either side can enter the field. They're shooting our keepstar, which is at ~90% armor HP and slowly falling.

If they get it to 0, it doesn't pop, so we just dock, and the hull timer comes later. That's why armor timer is often the most heavily defended - if we lose, we can dock, we don't wind up eating poo poo in empty space.

The fight is going to have hundreds of titans and supers on both sides and in, or almost in, weapons range, so it really does seem to be happening.

it's jammed so you can't bridge or jump in, but i assume there will be subcap fleets all night. M-2XFE is in the "north" of delve leading towards fountain, one off 5-C not directly in the pipe. It's not an important system for any reason. it isn't strategic, doesn't have an ice belt, and doesn't even have any good moons or planets. it does have a keepstar though.

I've been thinking PAPI would want one final big battle for the war, maybe this is it.

Thanks for the update coelomate!

As a general question to people who know, what's to stop the attacking fleet simply leaving if they get into too much trouble?

Does the Keepstar make that big a difference in terms of offence/defence?

Also, someone mentioned there were about 700 titans on the grid... That's a lot of manufacturing.

Keepstar makes a huge difference in terms of defense, just look at how much damage it did to the titan that warped to the wrong place at the wrong time: https://zkillboard.com/kill/89607140/

It'll be tricky for either side to extract once the fight is underway and supercaps have weapons timers, doomsday timers, are bubbled/hic pointed/etc.
