Also, IIRC we haven't commissared SMA IIRC. Sure if SMA's leadership hosed off with the wallet and disbanded SMA or something we would try to keep member corps from vanishing to the wind, but SMA are definitely not slacking on defense.

It seems to balance out in the end because Amarr and Minmatar battleships are very popular while we are the only people to field Megathrons.


Also when it comes to Hybrid weapon systems you *need* T2 ammo. T1 crystals are alright and T1 projectiles are better still.

It is mindblowing to me that the Megathron is capable of fitting a full rack of 425mms and a decent tank while the Minmatar and Amarr ships struggle to fit T2 1400mms and Tachs.

To be fair, the mega beam lasers with their three muzzles spitting out energy death rays look helluva sweet, so I don't mind this so much. The Minmatar are properly hosed, though.

A Titan is like one alt for one player, so who cares? Thousands of dead frigates are more impressive from a game health perspective.

SMA are good people regardless of what's going on. Kyle Aparthos and the other dudes have always been chill and have on occassion hung out with us on Mumble doing whatever. When Horde moved to Cloud Ring despite being easily able to dunk on them, SMA at least tried to make the fights even in some capacity and create entertaining fights. The Sov fuckery was also pretty mutually enjoyable I think, at least I enjoyed it on my end. Hopefully they don't collapse or anything like that, that'd be pretty lame given how much they've actually improved overall in the past few years.

I figured that losing 50ish Titans today is the equivalent of losing 50ish Dreads back in 2007. A big setback but not necessarily backbreaking. Guess I'm just that out of touch.

After losing B-R. PLs supercap supremacy was shattered and they have been in second place since. Which means they have had to skirt around Imperium space and deployments because they couldn't challenge us on the field.

The purpose of this war for PL is to get a chance to break our supercap fleet so they can take first place and then keep it.

If they could do that and then use PH for subcap support then they could project a lot of power.


However the problem for PL is that it's only right at this very moment where they can field subcap supremacy. Never before and probably never again. The moneybadger coalition is tearing at the seams and they have to catch our supers before the coalition disbands. Because PL + PH will not be enough afterwards if we still maintain our capital fleet and continue to build more while PL have to buy theirs.

They have to take the shot now.

I don't think PL and NC. ever broke CFC numbers for supers/titans, it was just they used them more, thus more experienced with what they could get away with. That and they had a strong core in a specific time zone ready to drop a moments notice and weren't spread out so much.

It's going to work better in Citadel but the result is that they are going to bleed supercapitals after every encounter.

Medium sized groups will be able to Dread Bomb and come out ahead a few supers or even a Titan.

The true numbers were never really known. Up until B-R no one was certain which side had the superior numbers to deploy.

But since then the Imperium has lost the whole rusblock. Darknessdot and CO2 have since switched sides and several corporations have left too. Though we have also built supers relentlessly.

On the third hand I doubt that the low sec groups would be willing to field supers next to PL in this conflict.




Also because this thread has been unusually bad as of late. Lets have a reminder of being goony.

a screenshot of some intel channel I was in several years ago. I don't remember where but I remember people chasing this stolen Orca through several systems as they reported where he went next and frantically tried to catch him.
