[EVE] The War Thread

[Taranatar]

In all honesty, at this point, especially based on BoB's response to the attack, it shouldn't matter if there was a Titan in the works or not. The Coalition is fully capable of taking down another capital shipyard, seeing as 50 dreads spread across so many alliances is not a huge loss.

A capital shipyard as well as causing all effort and minerals mined and moved for titan completion to be wasted is a much larger loss, regardless of actual isk counts.

Out of curiosity what prevents either side of this war from just putting together a big fleet and going and putting most or all of the other side's assets into reinforced and then following it up with a wipe out kill?

Seems like a neat job on the coalition's part, though I'll die laughing if BoB demonstrates it was an empty yard.

[Kasi]

Umm, because each side has tons of systems? Doing this to wipe out an adversary would be horribly pyrhic. You'd likely wipe out your own side's infrastructure before you even did serious damage to the other, given how sieges favor the defender. (whee, drop in a bunch of ships and have them take out a pos while we get potshot by 200+ ships)

As for what is in it or not, I doubt that will ever go anywhere. No one would believe BoB if they said it now. (if it had been true I'm pretty sure they would have said it right out anyway) Any mention that it was empty after the fact would be greeted with skepticism.

I doubt BoB spends that much time mining and moving all those minerals for super cap construction. Considering the many pets they have, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the pet's rent terms include the facilitation of said minerals/parts etc for BoB to quickly put another supercap in the oven.

The real downside for BoB is the time lost getting another supercap on the field with the destruction of that POS.

Doing it through pets is a serious possible security leak, though.

[SquattingCow]

BoB do their own logistics in house. You guys overestimate how much these pet alliances do for them :P

Well, BoB had MWA construct two outpost eggs as repayment for BoB giving them two stations when they moved into Esoteria. Whose to say the minerals and ISK weren't used in a supercap construction?

I'm disappointed there hasn't been an Iraqi Information Minister picture posted yet 8(

hmmm

[kasey]

Well my plausible detector says that the coalition won this clearly if a titan cooking is worth more then the losses. Also its a good morale boost to be able to accomplish such a goal with with bob and co beating on them, agree on that one as well. The dread losses are negated to great parts by the sheer numbers of the enemy. And it just doesnt make sense that BoB didnt loose a titan cooking, the spies said theres one and they have prooven to be reliable and valuable.

I favor BoB much because of their evilness but you guys at BoB better start pulling off some stunts real fast.Whats the next big BoB thing the coalition will destroy or is there now a consolodiation/ clean up phase? P.S. if you are arrogant and then your skills/ accomplishments dont match your attitude you will look fucking ridiculous. I am kinda disappointed. BoB wanted the rapetrain, they didnt want to take the galaxy bit by bit they wanted it all together and they got that with their declaration of war against everyone, now they cant handle? Granted i dont know how exactly high end wars work but to me it seems they either wanted to go down in flames rather then dieing to boredom or they rally thought they will be able to rule it all. Prolly a mix of the two.

P.S I just found THE eve soundtrack. To all hacka cracka's get yourself "Zim the invader soundtrack". Megalomaniac orchestra music that gets you in such a mood to fly your ship, its funky. Anyone know anymore music of that kind? Listening tio maintheme on loop for a few hours already and its only 0:38 long lol

[Manticore]

apparently a GM set a cap limit on how many players could join the system to prevent the node from crashing

and for anyone who missed the show, here is a nice summary

[Greyskye]

Yep, EvE's music really fits the game well and you can tell alot of the inspiration was from Blade Runner. At least imho.

Edit: And to stay on topic down with BoB and stuff

[Lorrac]

You guys talk like if bob security hadn't been perforated already.

Think for a second - this was a Reikoku installation, titans have a 3 month building time.

Let's see, what happened in regards of Reikoku security in the last 3 months?

OH SNAP

[Creediki]

What? The GM's set a CAP on the # of ships in-system? lol..

Can we not spread random, insubstantiated rumors? Just sayin'.
