My EVE

i liked that video i dunno what the guy above is talking about... (probally a rnk alt trying to save face LOL)

RnK was well baited into the battle and then slaughtered, that itself is quite impressive.

I don't know why you come to defend RnK as they use this technique to fight everytime and then complain when it gets countered (as they did when they got countered by ninja's in placid in their home system)

Actually it was an intended bait for supers (hence dread blob) and not ours - still, we like to throw gangs around and can't complain if we get hotdropped sometimes since we do our share too. It's all good fun.

But it's quite a compliment that someone would make a video of killing a mid-sized triage gang against those odds Whilst I'd like to think we don't die too often, I'm not sure we die quite that rarely..



o/ Ninja alt. I believe we counter-countered Ninjas with Pantheon that day though, and we had them and their allies 22-4 on caps over that period until they went inactive. We'll see how Cursed Coalition do since they're not too far from where we base atm and so hopefully some regular meetings.

That's what i was saying: they should have been showing us that bit then. Now, they focused on the on-grid events without really showing any details of the fight itself. What is shown is not impressive, and i would have liked to see the turn of events that would have left an impression. I never said there weren't any, just that they never showed them.

Looking only at the movie when you don't know the circumstances around it, as i don't: You only see them dropping in subcapitals with a fair advantage to begin with. If that was the "bait" (dropping an equal or greater force where the hostiles still decide to take the fight), it says quite alot about EVE and why most people don't take fights anymore. I'm still hoping the bait was something more intricate that the movie never showed. I guess baiting a "GF oriented" group with a "fight" (they'd assume they could still potentially win) makes sense in a way, but it's not really the terminology i'd use myself.

I remember seeing that logic once before in a movie when some FW-fleet phoned in a large NCdot superdrop and then proceeded to pat themselves on the back saying "we baited well". Only that the initial FW-fleet was twice the size of what they baited and should have won with relative ease on their own accord.

That logic is somewhat backwards, as any potential fight would become bait, thus taking any fight amount to being baited and subsequently taking any fight become a poor tactical choice. It's the opposite of trying to encourage fights. Anyway, it's rants beside the point. Like i said: I'm hoping there was more to it here - that there was some well-planned bait they could have shown us, and the criticism was solely of that not being captured by the movie.



I'm not sure if we should debate other movies here, but looking at the movie i belive you refer to, you lost the initial fight despite a 2:1 advantage, then re-shipped and re-engaged them with more capitals than they had ships total, ontop of twice the numbers. With that you only managed to polish the statistics up to not look like as a devastating loss, since your own tally still list a loss and the kills you got was the couple of sieged capitals left behind. If you want to claim you "counter-countered" their 3 Dreads with 15 RR Carriers, i guess that is your perogative but it makes the rest of your comments about numerical advantages here quite amusing. Credit where it's due my friend.

A little overkill m8's

As an impartial third party, I have but one comment on that video.

God-damn that is one of the worst huginn fits I have ever seen in my life.
