Looking back at our run, this is probably the most improbable part of it all. I still don't really know how that happened. Probably having the opportunity to practice against Exodus from day 1 is...
Both the AT13 Warlords' and PL teams used artillery Sleipnirs pretty extensively Wolf. Probably their guys have had 2x more practice with them than we have. I think they know how to test this.
These writeups seem to be a thing every year, and it's fallen upon me to write it for our team. Most because I volunteered since I don't know what to do with myself now that the tournament is over....
Match 2 was a massive misplay on our part and the loss is ultimately our fault.
We were essentially looking for a mirror-match there and had thus had discussed banning the Malice. IIRC Sulei...
A NS static is seriously the best thing ever.
And O1Y is quickly becoming our favorite system to visit:

Only kind of agree with being able to see what's on the other side of a gate. Only because any time that Snuff Box sets up their gate camp on the Agoze-Ostingele gate basically means that I have to...
We honestly felt that it was more likely that our Barghest & RLML setups would be banned, since they tended to perform very well in our internal practices. Considering that, we banned the Vindicator...
Sulei would be a very good Huskar player.
I'm surprised anybody took Wolf's post seriously.
Back on topic:
The fitting buff lets the Rifter fit 200mm ACs, an MWD and a nos now. Yay? It could already fit a rocket launcher or a neut in...
Bumping this thread, as we are running Public Roams once again. The next roam will be Artillery Hurricanes on Oct 16 (Friday) at 1900: http://www.the-tuskers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=54&t=7254

I'm pretty much a nobody as far as tournament pilots go, but I still get convo-ed almost daily by people who recognize me from the AT. Sure it's anecdotal, but I suspect more people pay attention to...
I only looked at this for the BCs I care about atm, but the gain to speed is relatively modest. Certain nano BS are still as fast or faster than most of the BCs. All figures assume MWD speed with...
The MWD tiericide allows dual-tank fits without implants now. This is my favorite MWD brawling frigate today. Due to the prevalence of beam Tormentors (in low-sec at least), I suggest fitting two...
Overall, I liked this year's rule set.
Damps are very hard to balance between being 100% useless and being so strong that every team must have them (particularly with Bastion banned). I tend to...
We're clearly better than most teams, but the amount of stupid shit we do in practice and matches is pretty amazing sometimes (not singling out cool here; he is actually pretty reliable).
Our last...
AT was fun. I give CCP an A+ for keeping things running so smoothly, even with two parallel matches going.
The rules were a lot better this year than last (I just wish cap transfers were banned...
I'm really impressed with how much the production values and commentary have improved.
My impression of Germany has remained largely unchanged since the early 1990's: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9p5ey_sprockets-germany-s-most-disturbing_shortfilms
Actually steaming the first weekend's matches would be a good start.
Blaster Comet
The standard FW AB/scram/web-fit Blaster Comet can be beaten with any scram-range kiting ship that's faster than it. An Executioner comes to mind, or a dual-tank Breacher, or a...
That's pretty much the only rail comet fit nowadays. An equivalent blaster comet:

Speaking for myself only, I:
1. Check failheap and /r/eve on a daily basis at work because my job is a joke
2. Have access to the ex-Tuskers forums
3. Am an Eve tournament geek
And I still...
If links didn't exist in Eve, I doubt that anyone would think that adding them in their current form would be a good idea. I'd be ok with their complete removal until CCP comes up with something...
The AT drafting & ban system needs an overhaul in order to shake things up. The WC rules were fantastic in comparison.
Last year, whichever team brought more damps, or better damps (through the...
