Titan bridged yesterday in Delve from a PL station called "Fight Us Maybe" that song is a plague :P
Word is soco has orders not to engage until Monday, spent the day RFing and taking down POSs. Had one good 3 way fight between about 60 RvB thoraxes, 100ish CFC drakes and Soco bombers/geddons/baddons/logi on 319 gate.

Confirming that someone actually had a good fight in Delve. From what I was hearing on fleet comms RVB weren't engaging SoCo until the goons were gone then proceeded to split DPS all over the place in what could only be an attempt to spam logi with rep broadcasts. GF's all around though
Yeah hilarious fun from the RvB Ganked point of view.Originally Posted by ZappaF
We had been spamming our location / destination to anyone we knew in Delve.
One correction though, 130 thorax hulls not 60
We might have lost such numbers what with no major pew before the HED-GP pause.
Also, who nuked my post? It wasn't a troll, RvB FC orders were indeed to whore all the mails, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!
Bit of an odd fight in Delve today, despite being in it I don't really know what happened so maybe someone else does:

Story time:
Was in a frig fleet that was formed to try and encourage some entertainment, as SoCo weren't interested in the tengu fleets formed up earlier (fair enough, they were a bit big). After wandering around and derping a bit, whilst SoCo bombers whittled away all the more retarded frigs (probably about 30 frig kills to bombs over a few systems, how does one lose a rifter to a single bomb anyway?) the frig gang merged with a RZR led drake fleet. Gloriously inflating the numbers but killing my fun (i decided to be the solo hero_scimi for a 100+man frig gang. was huge amounts of fun, took about 15 minutes to work my way through broadcasts on my own after every bomb).
As we'd joined this particular party late i'm not entirely sure on the details, but it seems the drake fleet had been flirting with a SoCo loki fleet. One fleet running away, the other chasing... then reversing roles, like two shy teenagers unable to broach the subject of fellatio. Eventually the SoCo fleet bravely stood and fought, and the CFC/honeybadgers bravely jumped into them. Turned out not to be a very fair fight with the drake fleet logi's comfortably keeping anything that broadcasted alive, whilst loki's slowly died. Then all the SoCo logistics warped off, but the loki's didn't. I can only assume the loki's were bubbled (as you'd expect) but no-one had bubbled the logi's... still seemed a bit callous to just leave all your 'shiny' out to dry.
With no logi's all the loki's exploded and some cfc nerdlets were nearly orgasming on comms over their shiny loot. which was kind of cute. I also discovered that if as a logi pilot you say "send me 5m and will add you to WL" before a fight you can make decent isk. It turned out to actually have been isk well spent for a couple of guys too. ^^
Anyway, first time i've logged on and anything has actually happened in this 'war' so that was a nice change and an entertaining few hours.
So we got word yesterday that Soco was forming at 15:30, formed 2 drake fleets, tengu fleet, and test has a rokh fleet, all to full capacity, to meet Soco's formup. I was in Tengu fleet, we titan bridge to D-3 (I think), 1 jump out from Soco's home system in 319. Dodged a couple massed bomber runs, lost a command loki and a few tengus. Bridged titans into system, used them to bridge into 319. Soco had decided to stay docked up, as poster above said, fair enough. Instacanes took potshots at bombers and other random undockers. Soco got trolled mercilessly though by the combined trolling might of CFC (say what you will about CFC but don't say we can't troll with the best of them :P ).
Later, we got word Soco was coming to 1DH with about 150, so we formed up tengufleet again. Soco turned around and went home. Tengufleet reshipped a few times between drakes and frig, apparently due to conflicting intel that's beyond this grunt's security clearance. When I logged for RL obligations, CFC was going with 200ish frigates to 319. At some point afterwards, the fight mentioned above happened. I don't know much about it, but I do have 6mins of soco comms: http://soundcloud.com/dariush_records/a-roam-03-07
I logged back in to a broadcast to bring drakes to 319. Apparently the aforementioned frig fleet had camped 319 station for 4 hours and soco finally undocked with everything they had. We had a titan bridge running continuously to 319 for reshipping and fought with 200-300ish CFC against 200ish Soco also reshipping. We killed a few dudes 3 times or more. The first fight went for about 15 mins, with drake fleet getting increasingly larger and FC just calling targets non-stop. We saw hurris, drakes, recons and scimis first, with odd bombing runs throughout. Soco docked up for about 20 minutes and then came with maelstroms. I got popped then came back with another drake. Meanwhile the surviving Maels docked up. After another 30-40 minutes or so on the station, Soco came with tier 3 BCs. They tried to provide support with half the tier 3s while the other half burned out from the bubbles, presumably to snipe. Drakefleet followed the burning tier 3s, someone got a warp in and dropped bubbled, and we killed them all. Shortly after, we departed back to 1dh. Good job to Soco, clearly they had a lot of fight in them. Good job to my CFC guys for reshipping and keeping the fight up as well. All in all it was just an awesome experience and I could care less who won...that said...we won

PL was out of range in their staging system so we missed half the fight
I'm sure it's frustrating to be sperging about how someone said "no, not doing that yet" - but we've had 7 years to learn to pace ourselves after killing a block. And I dare say -- we've gotten quite good at it.
Sorry if it doesn't suit the armchair generals who have never committed to anything for more than 2 months, but by now we've learned that we really don't give a shit about what you think v0v.
The fight around 2:30 in 319 was awesome too. Hopefully a moderator approves my write-up soon...
So far the SoCo/-A- aren't showing the numbers or commitment at all.
Also, I don't know why the fuck they'd adopt that loki doctrine. It's complete and utter shit.
Artillery Loki's - Good idea. The rest of their fit? Utter shit.
Looks like I overestimated the SoCo by quite a bit if this is what theyre showing up with so far.
Just to add some more details, the drake fleet was on its way to reinforce a CSAA pos (alleged to contain a baby titan), when rear scout informed us that there was a fleet of Loki's following us. After we jumped into 9O-8W1 from UEXO-Z, the (RZR) FC bubbled the gate, and took the drakes out to 60km to fight them when they jumped in. Lokis setup 20km off the UEX side, and left it a stalemate. Vee cyno'd in a second drake fleet behind the Lokis, who engaged it, and RZR FC sent dictors and frigs to lock down the Lokis. We burned towards the gate and jumped to find the Loki fleet bubbled, and watched their guardian wing warp off, leaving most of the Loki's behind. FCs started calling primaries, but at that point it was basically a case of lock as many ships as possible, as Lokis were dropping like flies.
FC had previously called for Drakes to load Exp missiles, and the Lokis seemed to have switched out hardeners for kinetic, so that may also have contributed to the general rout.
Nulli, -A- VS PL, CFC, TEST
And people thought they were going to get epic battles out of this?
Confirming -A- bloc is just -A- and Nulli?
You forgot RZR, EXE and probably a few others as well from what i can tell.

Don't forget En Garde, Cascade Imminent, Vera Cruz, Red Alliance, Raiden. and R.OL for Soco. I don't know if they are fully deployed but killboards show significant activity in Delve from all of them. Cascade Imminent has more kills than Nulli does. There are regularly 400+ Soco in 319 and the alliances named, along with Nulli and -A-. Seems like Soco doesn't coordinate/cooperate as well as CFC (everyone down there except PL gets fleet broadcasts on jabber from Test, Goons and their own alliance, and has access to all three comms). Also the policy of holing up in station has probably hurt Soco's participation rates, as I'd guess many people don't bother to log on just to be station camped. I think the sort of turtle strategy Soco adopted is bad for morale and prone to encourage a downward spiral in enthusiasm and participation at just the time they most need their manpower.Confirming -A- bloc is just -A- and Nulli?
That said, we did get some epic battles last night, while Soco welped about 80 of our drakes the night before. There are definitely always groups willing to engage smaller CFC groups of 20-50 and always fools and bombers to take potshots at on both 319 and 1DH/F20 undocks. All in all, pretty entertaining personally, if not always epic. Eve at its best is still punctuated by periods of boredom anyway.
So there was a big fight yesterday in C3N-3S. We the S2N/SOCO crew where defending an Ihub (i think) that came out of reinforced. They CFC/PL wanted it dead.
Both sides ran multiple fleets with varying composition.
Nulli (s2n) ran an alpha fleet consisting of Maelstroms an support.
Think -A- ran tengus.
So fight was on.
We bridge into system, TiDi immediately kicked in to like 30%. Warpin was called on the ihub to face the enemy drake fleet. Our allies came on grid to.
Fight starts TiDI is now permanently locked between 10 an 15%. Drakes are going down fast (in 10% TIDI noting is fast, but yeah..) targets are being called 3-5 at the time. Some casualties are sustained but not much at this point.
My sabre go down in flames without having the opportunity to use even one bubble..
As im reshipping into Maelstrom (died in a fire immediately after loading grid)PL/CFC side jumps in titan, supers an dreads fitted for BS killing.
Our ships now starts falling quicker and quicker, we are still steadily damaging the enemy, an downs 4 dreads. fleet starts to align out since we where getting free of bubbles, just as the entire Maelstrom fleet is about to warp (call was given) a blue dictor drops a bubble on the entire blue fleet, catching basically everyone except the reds.
Fleet continue to drop and tries to disengage, eventually succeeding.
Fun fight, we got a decent number together (916) the enemy had a lot more (1401) and decided to drop in 19 titans, 31 super carriers, 29 dreads, 28 carriers.

I assume we lost isk war. 99 maels comes out at 30 bill?, then 23 tengus at 15-ish? vs 194 drakes at 15-ish i guess an 4 dreads at approx 10, then 20 rokhs at 5-6 bill?

Your missing the last ] on your hr you derp. That said nice read.
The question is-
Is everyone having fun? I've been Jumping in drakefleets for ops and running down and messing with renters when there's a lull.
Lost a few drakes of course but none to bombing runs
PEWPEWPEW
I dont really do it for the fights (ive seen enough blob fights to be not excited about them anymore) but for all the forum porn and tears it generates
man that forum porn
