Leaving behind the pilots that you asked to cover the extraction of your capital and supercapital assets? Awesome.

The more of their own guys realize that TEST leadership doesn't give a poo poo about them, the fewer people they will have to defend their Outer Passage refugee camp

All according to keikaku

Meanwhile we are "Leave no Goon behind". It's one of the cardinal rules as an FC that no one is ever left behind too.

No poo poo, I never could play much EVE because it bores me to tears unless I'm doing fleet ops and the last time my life was in a state where I could commit enough time to sitting on my pc for a fleet op was when I was like, 25. But I remember when I did play for a bit, it wasn't the first time I'd ever been on an op but it was the first time I was flying anything other than a rifter. We jump to this bridging titan, and it's the first titan I've ever seen and the first time I ever bridged so of course I gently caress it up. Rest of the fleet bridges, titan jumps. Then I'm like "oh I hosed up, guess I'll take my chances on the gate route" when this loving titan jumps the gently caress back in and bridges my lone useless rear end to my fleet.

Obviously I got roasted, mostly by myself, but yeah. No goon left behind. Huge hassle just to keep a newbie from sticking a fork in a socket but sure made me feel like part of the team.

Exactly. Keeping your subcap pilots engaged and involved is critical, plus keeping your members happy while they traipse across the galaxy seems like 'the job' for a CEO or FC. The trail of tears, papi failure edition is bad, but at least capitals can jump, logoff, and do something else. Subcaps pounding out 80 jumps or whatever it is is just terrible.
Completely agree.

Also, I want to point out that today's harpy pilot is tomorrow's carrier pilot and next year's super pilot. Goons have grown cap characters organically over the decade+ they've been playing the game. The MO of most of nullsec is to poach cap pilots from smaller alliances.

When you constantly have content on everything from shitstack frigates all the way up to supercaps, you provide a ladder for people to climb to wherever they have the most fun.

The biggest battles of this war (so far) saw upwards of 8,000 people in single systems fighting. The server meltage still happens but the game is somewhat playable while it's melting.

When you think about it, that was a common theme throughout the war. They "invaded" Esoteria after Test announced they were leaving too.

But yeah, those Delve structures and iHubs were there 2 weeks ago, and 2 months ago. Nothing holding them back from retaking them then, other than fear.

Lets be clear though. Imperium did win. Their "turtle up" strategy did work. All of this false bravado now though is a little comical, but when you think about it, completely in character for them.

They're like the kid who runs inside and flips you off through their living room window, then runs outside and shouts "you'd better run before I kick your rear end" when you leave.

The servers basically never crash under the load anymore, except when you have papi idiots jumping in by the thousands when there are already 5,000 on grid, such as during M2-

TiDi is still a thing, though, and the time it takes to resolve outstanding calls can get pretty extreme when you have thousands of people fighting each other. On the other hand, the likelihood of such massive battles has massively decreased now that papi has basically disintegrated.

Come on in, it's killing time.

Short answer: yes.

I was in a 2000 person HAC brawl a couple days ago on an unreinforced node and the server largely worked, for certain definitions of "worked". Way, way better than 500 person fights 7-8 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, it's still a massive pain to deal with and every time CCP improves server performance, more people join up. But fleet combat largely works at that scale. Which is pretty drat impressive compared to every other game out there.

Same. Caish made a personal bridge for me when I didn’t know I needed to be within 2500m to take the bridge. I sat there right clicking the titan looking for a bridge button and wondering why it wasn’t working.

Most of us were ready to fight for 1DQ until our very last ship was destroyed. It just wasn't necessary, since they never even breached the constellation.
