Over the weekend we were witness to the largest fleet fight EVE has ever seen as two rival groups of players clashed over the fate of 6VDT-H and the region of Fountain. As fleets traded blows, records were broken and smashed aside as ships died by the hundreds.

Read on in this dev blog to find out more about this record breaking clash of two war machines, and the trail of destruction they left in their wake.

I love how you won't expand the CFC's full name.

the best part was when test scattered in terror, then realized they had nowhere to flee

there's also this fantastic description of TEST during the battle:
Quote:
They turned up with a makeweight fleet so they could get the 'We Were In The Biggest Battle T-Shirt'. They don't deserve a place in history for that shower of ****. And that is in no way intended to disrespect the CFC fleet, because it's not easy to methodically eviscerate such a huge fleet with such ruthless efficiency in that amount of ti-di, but it was a slaughter, not a battle, a sideshow.

Nice write-up, but one request - can you include some actual server stats? Give us some operations porn :) It might just be a good way to showcase how well a single node can handle the load under the TiDi system.

Network bandwidth, CPU utilization would be a neat thing.

There will likely be a separate post. In that I would love to see maximum input requests per second. I have to imagine at the beginning of the fight, all that gun mashing tranlated into a billion inputs.

Also, its TheMittani.com not Mittani.com

The ultimate winner?

CCP.

An unplayable game getting huge media coverage, without a single word about how we needed ten minutes to cycle a dampener, or five to start orbiting a target...

And we're all just pawns in their PR game...

*Sigh*

before tidi the idea of cramming 4000 into a single system was laughable because the node would crash even before 2000

i, too, desire a return to two full fleets in a system causing Eyjafjokull or whatever to erupt despite the cluster being 1000+ miles away

Wasn't that record set in LXQ2-T in October 2010?

A battle that awhile ago would have been impossible to even have with any sort of order. Nice job CCP.

How much of the time was 10% speed insufficient to handle everything going on?

To those who were there: Would you prefer:

1) Even more TiDi
2) The server dropping player commands due to overload?

Any yes, we would all prefer "Make the code handle load better". In that vein, CCP, what are you doing to help huge battles like this run faster? After all if you got the game to the point where all 500,000 accounts could all be on grid and shooting each other, all at the same time, all with no TiDi, then we would not complain, nor could we just bring more ships as we are already all there.

Stats I have on hand are saying that LXQ2-T was only 3242, beaten by P-2TTL (3615) and E-7U8U (3253).
