I am looking forward for BBC to tell us how amazing was the largest capital fight in history of computer games. And even more, for the CCP CEO to come to this forum and apologise for this historic fuckup.

All what you'll have is CCP Sonisomething explaining you how ESS is good for EvE. That's it.

and something about nerfing capital turrets (again) because a mod *might* be overheated in a "specific* situation of a particular wormhole RollRoll

Sounds like n3pl beat you at your own game.

"It is not fun, but it is absolutely necessary if you plan to achieve system control first, giving you a significant tactical advantage. As such, almost 1 hour before the timer approached, we had entered system and moved in around the station, evenly orbiting with several fleets, providing ourselves a position almost entirely immune to hostile bomber fleets."

Did CCP even make a statement about this huge failure?


Even now, emails are being sent out to make sure that all CCP employees know that they are to pretend that this fight never happened.

Whoa, 10% tidi is bad, but it's still way better than mining.

Just for saying that I hope you have to mine in 10% tidi someday.

Not going to happen.. I can do this thing called "GO MINE SOMEWHERE ELSE". It's a simple concept, too many people in my area, I move to a different system!! I know, I know, it takes a lot of thought power to come up with that, but while your waiting in that 4 hour jump tunnel or 1 hour cycle times, you should have plenty of time to wrap your head around that idea Pirate

Agreed with OP,

This is nonsense expectations for EVE's future. I'm still waiting to get back into the battle.. **** at this point I don't care if goons kills me so I can just get back to GXK...

BUT I CAN'T log on...

So CCP ether move me to Keberz or kill me.. Ya I petitioned CCP to kill me so I can get back to playing eve... HED is DEAD!


I wouldn't bother, only titan DDs seem to be working now. The dreads were lost the second they jumped.


it is very strange that Titan dds keep cycling but siege and other stuff gets stuck, there might be something wrong in that code their.

I was there and must say Kuddos to CFC and RUS for bringing the fight and have the blazzz to jump into this TIDI mess.

Nevertheless this 10 hour fight was one of the most remarkable i ever had Big smile

if by that you mean less goons playing, then yes, im pretty sure that there will be a lot of people laughing and enjoying that too.

from the looks of it, the other side enjoyed the turkey shoot and the amount of tears that will flood this thread and probably many others.

If this fight did show anything, it's that subcaps are worthless in sov fights.

Totally agree with original post. Eve was not only not fun today, it was downright miserable. I love the game but CCP, but step up soon or my patience will likely run out.

War's over anyway folks.

If the BOTLRD agreement (goon's term, not mine) is legit, then PL just stood down from invading any goon system than goons consider valuable.

Yesterday I invited my old friend who was very intersted in EVE Online to watch "the biggest capital fight ever". After end of "epic battle in HED-GP" he said "I can't beleive you guys paying money for wasting of your weekend for nothing" and his wish to pay for 2 accounts become a wish to pay for 0 accounts.

I know its hard (for some) but i'd like to get a honest answer from the parties involved in HED-GP:

What was different here, compared to the recent big fleet engagements? Fountain, 6VDT, or even Asakai (iirc, was not reinforced)?

it's timers because they dictate a time and place for people to create the largest possible blobs of the largest possible stuff.


We wouldn't need blobs if it wasn't for the huge amounts of HP we need to burn through. Todays fight only happened because the N3/PL capital blob waited around for us.


I personally think, when there is a massive concentration of Caps and Scaps allready waiting, why don't you change the tactics? Get this blob bubbled and capture it where it is, and take care of 4 or 5 other systems. The numbers are on your side, or not?

And you would be able to tell the difference if afk mining?
