Besides the well-known EVE Online Tranquility server there exists also Serenity, which hosts Chinese players and is operated by CCP partner TianCity.

A few days ago, on March 25, 2014, our spacebros on Serenity were drawn into a battle of epic dimensions in the system 49-U6U, even surpassing the famous Battle of B-R5RB on Tranquility which saw ships destroyed worth 11 trillion isk.

In the battle of 49-U6U we saw 26 trillion ISK in ships being destroyed; amongst them 84 Titans, 824 Dreadnaughts, numerous Carriers and Supercarriers. Incredible numbers reflecting this awesome battle! Well done, Serenity!


All the exciting details, brilliant screenshots and lots of background information are available in CCP Leeloo's blog The 49-U6U Slaughterhouse!

That's a lot of isk, but comparing Tranquility isk and Serenity isk is like comparing dollars and pesos. Different botting restrictions mean that isk on Serenity is worth much less and supercapitals are much easier to build. Using plex as a baseline, isk on Tranquility is worth roughly 10x what it is on Serenity.

The 49- fight did see more stuff blown up, but it doesn't even come close to B-R in terms of value destroyed.

I wonder if there is some way to keep downtime from interrupting these battles. Both of these large battles could have been even bigger if they had been allowed to continue. A 23 hour battle is about as long as a battle can be given the current maintenance cycle, so battles have now gotten about as destructive as they can be.

To get a bigger, more destructive battle either we got to increase server performance (to reduce TiDi) or we got to have a way to bridge downtime, or we got to get rid of downtime.

You forgot to put the most important information:

Who won? Who is controling 49U now?

does this confirm that the players on Chinese servers are worse at not losing ships?

I was thinking, if Serenity and Tranquility would be merged at some point, what would I prefer, them to hold sov and us to be added to their game or the reverse? Hm :)

With every post about Serenity, you're undermining your Single Shard, One Universe gimmick. But ok.

Based on the ship losses, it looks the the chinese equivalent of the cfc won the battle.
They lost 15 Titans and one supercarrier compared to 69 Titans and 38 supercarriers for their enemies.

The chinese mittens, whoever he is or group, just consolidated his / their hold on Serenity.
Those clever chinese, it took people on Eve 9 plus years to stagnate null sec and ruin the game, but less than 3 for Serenity.

What do you think the new null sec cartel made stargates are going to connect to?

If you had checked the influence map that's linked in the Dev Blog, you would now know that PIBC took the sov in 49- at 2014-03-30. Therefore they consolidated their sov empire against their enemies.

But I wouldn't call them the CFC equivalent. For me it sounds more like they were comparable to N3PL, only that they were able to withstand their enemies.

However, while we are at it, it would be nice if CCP would publish more political informations and what's happening on Serenity. There's so less to read about, but not less interesting than stuff from Tranquility!

Take wherever you think they are going to connect to, call it X. I predict the opposite of X.

While this battle is certainly epic, it can't really compare to B-R5RB. The 2 servers in general are so different that nothing on one can really be compared to the other. *Snip* Removed off topic part of the post. ISD Ezwal.
Also, look at the sov map - there aren't exactly a lot of alliances fighting for control there. So much moon goo going in so few pockets means even more supers - this was bound to happen, and will probably keep hapening.
