Battle has been ongoing for at least four days between the minmatar and amarr forces.

The minmatar seek to remove the amarr outpost deep in metropolis and have currently moved all active fleet operations to the area.

Amarr forces are converging on the area as well to reinforce the amarr defense forces. Battles have been raging for days with the minmatar slowly pushing the system towards more and matar influence.


Aset while the matar are showing no signs of letting up amarrian based out of other regions/systems have pledged their support.

With the battle entering it's 5th day more will be posted as developments come through.

Amarrian Vengeance would like to extend it's thanks to Agony Unleashed and Fweddit for providing leaderhip and support as well as each and every amarrian pilot losing ships with us in our stand to hold the system.

Stay tuned......

For all the continuing shortcomings and imbalances of the FW system, events like these show the improvement from the old days. You have corporations relocating to key systems and both sides planning for long-term operations to control strategic junctures. These are battles that occur over days with each engagement between small gangs and solo pilots contributing to the overall outcome. Regular pilots can spend the entire day in PvP-oriented ships, and can easily make enough isk to do nothing but PvP.

It's feeling much more like a war over territory, where an individual pilot can contribute in a small but tangible way. And get paid.

I was there.

And then I went next door to Uisper because of the execrably bad local smack and lack of fights. (The change in plex geography has been really hard on large frigate and destroyer fights).

Next time try to have FCs who can do something other than "we wait until we have 3 times their numbers".

Don't think that I didn't notice you specifically placing your crucifier's ewar upon me in noble fleet on fleet action. I will get you and your little dog too. Good day sir.

Finally EVE Faction Warefare works as intended. People from different faction corps are fleeting up to achieve a big goal. That's how it should be. Praise CCP for the last patch.

Location, Location, Location Geography, Geography, Geography ... the fact that people can now move to and fro without having to either do a massive detour through high-sec or trying to punch through (what seems to have been) the longest existing gate camp in Eve history makes all the difference.

Fighting belongs in plexes, not on gates/stations!

Xmas rush almost over at the post office .. can hopefully get some Eve time before leaving for the holidays.

numbers numbers numbers > everything

Grats on EUTZ minmatar for having 95% active actual players* in that TZ.

*people who actually do FW stuff i.e. not live in egg

As far as I have heard Aset is taken during the last hour. Is this classic EU Timezone? No. So stop complaining.

Quote complaint please.
Taking hub != numbers who plexed

Try harder. I linked quote above where you didn't try hard enough.

Thats 2 months ;) Aset campaign went as scheduled though.

So props to everyone involved.

I'd also like to thank the Amarr who made it possible.. well the ones I like, such as KOZA and you know everyone who isnt an alt of Dan.

I wont say we were outclassed; as I was in many an engagement where we beat the superior numbers with solid tactics.

But at the end of the day the hordes of minmatar were just to much. To win a war they did they right thing.

MY most vocal fustration is knowing that 80% of them would die in a decent one versus one. But hey it feels good to know they need at least three to take me down.

Look forward to the next campaign. For all the hate and smack I type in local. It's all in good fun, your the ying to my yang minnies. If it wasnt for you I would be mining in highsec or shooting rats in nullsec......and who wants to do that?

Hats off to all the amarr corps and pilots that made the last stand with us. We will be there when you call on us.

To be fair 80% don't have your fancy implants and experience ;) Also sorry that Santo got your pod, sucks to lose it like that. I do suggest taking it easy with the smack and hate, some of us minnies do fights one versus ones but if you come across as a **** noone will theyll choose ganking you instead. Lets be honest we are condemned to each other. Its either this or the french vs squids... and well.. yeah.

I know we have some smacktalkers as wel, but its not something that will make the game more fun. Not that much, maybe a little now and then. More is just counterproductive. L
