it was such a slaughter and one sided massacre (it's still ongoing) that the BJs weren't being able to shine

however

when they called to log off, we warped down and burst jammed to get as many of them agro'd as possible, which over 90% of them in range, and we were in range of about 80% of them

so 70%+ of their titans were aggresseed by us :)

e: To be fair, the keepstar barely matters. It repairing means we can jump out safely, but that's it. Us winning it or losing it mostly stops being relevant after downtime.

On the up-side, It should prove to PISSPEE that they don’t stand a chance of hurting anything in 1DQ. At least now they can use “the server can’t handle it” as an excuse to pack up and go home.

Realistically, how badly will losing this many titans & supers hurt them in the short term? I’m sure they can build more in the long run, but are Test and other groups going to be more vulnerable to a curb-stomping from their associates?

So, roughly 5k goons & fam were logged in and even more sneks were logged in? Keeping in mind about 39k accounts were logged into tranquility as a whole, that's pretty loving impressive.

Oh look, a bunch of accounts have logged off over the last 45 minutes or so https://eve-offline.net/?server=tranquility

One thing is for sure, is it will make them a lot more hesitant to take that sort of fight ever again.

lol they lost over 50 titans, we lost none, and they both lost the objective as well as trapped even more of their super/titan pilots next to a now fully operational battlestation.

just unbelievable. just a massacre. incredible

The first fight over this keep should have told them that the price of one keep timer in Delve where we could jump in supers was 130 titans, and 1DQ has 5 keeps, with four on the same grid, so the blood price for 1DQ was close to 2000 titans at a minimum

I don't think we've lost anyone in our subcap fleet yet. If you want to be a good target for friendly's to keep alive. train for a fleet booster, but that takes a LONG time.

I never got out of dreadnoughts last time I played and without access to the Goonwiki, I'm struggling to understand all the shortform for roles. Is a fleet booster something to do with command burst? Logistics? What kind of space planes do they fly?

I'm totally excited for this to stop being a mystery.

I DID A BIG CACA IN MY DRUG STORE DIAPER
Upvoted. I respect the play, I really do. But I would have been very skeptical about jumping a fleet into a system already at max Tidi with more than 5,000 fat, sweaty goons in it. The smell alone was probably stressing the server beyond capacity.

But knowing how hard it is to not welp supercap fleets, I probably would have pulled the trigger too. After all, it's damned hard to jump to a safe fortizar on grid when everyone just wants to jump straight into a swarm of fighter bombers. The calculus was iffy, but if you had managed to not welp your entire supercap fleet, we'd have probably had another month or even two month's worth of fighting in us before we gave up. Definitely.

So, overall nice play. I'd be more sympathetic about the server conditions, but half your falcons were on grid in max TiDi and surrounded by heavy fighters before they lit the cyno. TEST gave me a lot of poo poo for trying to jump my praxis through the T5 gate when there were only 3,000 horrible unkempt nerds on the other side - what did you think was going to happen. The Imperium spent a lot of time theory crafting and considering ways to move our super fleet right on top of the T5 keepstar, but TiDi jumping was always a consideration. Instead of running head first into a wood chipper, we insisted on being careful and deliberate. Slow. Smart. Methodical. That's our motto!

Unfortunately it's always tough to come up with ways to gain an advantage when you outnumber your enemy 3 to 1. That's why I'm always bitching and complaining about game mechanics. This game is probably trash, but it's the game we have to play. Because I got banned from PS2 and Apex Legends for using slurs.
