I want to say that the Interceptor vs Interceptor fight against N3 in 0-W was amazing.


You want to look at this full size, it's sexy

Essentially what happened in 0-W is that N3 undocked a shitload of Interceptors, and started bouncing around the system, killing random ships and blurfing about it in Local. Progodlegend even warped back to station, but when he undocked he forgot what to do and lost his 80M Malediction and pod.

After about 5-10 minutes of jerking off, the CFC Interceptor fleet finally manages to get a good warp-in on the N3 Interceptor fleet, which we do and we start having a mad top-gun style interceptor brawl. Our FC was amazing and we were vollying them off the field, I don't know how many we killed in the first wave but we had light losses, the N3 fleet took pretty sizable losses and quit the field.

After about 3 minutes of jerking each other off due to our amazingness the reshipped N3 gang arrived back for round two. We dutifully killed them again and this time caught a ton of pods, I think the final count for our kills/losses was about 60 or so N3 killed and we lose about 13. More importantly we held the field and I had to go AFK after that.

I didn't get any screenshots of the actual fight due to how fast paced it was, but it look really, really cool. I'd like to excuse my shitfit Malediction as I didn't fit it and it was given to me as-is, I actually had to scrounge up a point and web, although I didn't fit the web because I wanted to be able to grab pods.

Faction frigate reimbursement is still 25m, so even with the doubling you'd still eat most of the cost. Sorry.

Really though who gives a poo poo about that, the real upside of this is what it does to t1 ships and the newbie experience. You can literally forgo ratting altogether unless you want to start flying crazy faction poo poo and/or plexing your account.

I'm pretty happy with the announcement, it'll allow me to fly my Jaguar whenever, although I might just get it blown up so I can buy a Keres :getin:

~My first fight with Black Legion~
by Leo Showers

So we form a Harpy Fleet with over 100 members, however it appeared that people were joining it and not in QPO. We fight Black Legion who are in Maelstroms, they get a bombing run off on us initially but that was okay. We then warp around station and end up fighting them on a POS but they drop Triage Carriers while we are still shooting in our Harpy Fleet. Our FC makes the call to reship to Dominixs but no-one has them.

The end.

The Triage carriers was a bit of a :confused: moment as we really weren't killing that much so who knows.

The original call out was that Black Legion had like 100 Maelstroms in QPO and all we could form up at the time was a Harpy Fleet. I think they ended up bridging in more support and were ready for a fight, all they ended up doing was incapping a JB and shoot an onlining POS. At first we figured a Super was tackled or something because they bridged the Maelstroms in but it doesn't really seem like it.

So let me get this straight, please ensure I am not missing anything.

Unfunny bitter EVE player posts zero effort ad about thing and gets flustered when people call thing unfunny. Unfunny bitter EVE player then accuses the somethingawfuldotcom EVE thread of being slightly biased towards the viewpoint held by the CFC, a coalition principally lead by Goonswarm Federation, which is lead by a corp based from somethingawfuldotcom. Proceed to have a slapfight on previously mention forum thread.

I thought I'd dip into reddit to see what was being said in the EVE subreddit or whatever it's called. After adjusting my eyes to the horrible, horrible layout I think I am seeing an absolute ton of blurfing about Mittens being evil or something and their next target being obvious.

I really could be wrong reddit is pretty confusing and the layout is weird.

So the battle in Sendaya where a NCdot, BNI and European Goonion fought seems not to have gone to plan. I am reading that BNI had agreed to bait EG so that NCdot could kill their Tengus, but the BNI ended up shooting the NCdot fleet due to a communications error.

So either TEST is poo poo because they don't want to unify comms or TEST is poo poo because they can't drop Dreads on a station without Provibloc tackling it. Either way, they shouldn't have lost that dread fleet and either they are dumb or incompentant, and that seems to be the kind of semantics they are sperging out about right now.

I don't even think it's about the metagame anymore, at the end of the day they lost a capfleet on a station because they didn't have subcap support. Everything else is secondary to this and they've already "replaced all those dreads, no worries".

Unless you have mega-expensive implants, just go for it. As a newer character all you should really need is the +3 training implants or the powergrid ones for tight fittings if you like running it that way.

You will really need to break out of that mindset and just lose the attachment to ships. Have fun and actually play the game.

I'm not one for dirty blobbers arguments, but it's really a stretch to call 84 v 23 a ~fight~, especially when you have more ewar than they have dps combined. Nice though.

So if the 23 wins against the 84 it's a ~fight~, but if the 84 win against the 23 it isn't a ~fight~? I don't usually keep that up to speed with the EVE-O thread but is your EVE character in either Pandemic Legion, Black Legion or NCdot? It just smacks of the ~elite pvp~ mindset where it's somehow dishonourable to utilise numbers.
