I think this is most probably due to people logging in during the fight and I know that we cyno'd in a couple more carriers before the fight ended so that for example although we started the fight with 2 carriers we ended it with 5.<BR/><BR/>I believe we started the fight with about 60 people and ended it with about 80 and local peaked at around the 220-230 mark.<BR/><BR/>So please excuse any inaccuracies in the numbers.<BR/><BR/>All in all a truly amazing scrap though!Blacklighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16990622126364900954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12393003.post-1165520013291885082006-12-07T19:33:00.000+00:002006-12-07T19:33:00.000+00:00Amazing performance as usual, shame I was asleep a...Amazing performance as usual, shame I was asleep at the time!<BR/><BR/>GG on the battlefield & GG on the nice blog post :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12393003.post-1165513751190948652006-12-07T17:49:00.000+00:002006-12-07T17:49:00.000+00:00Over an hour to loot and salvage doesn't really do...Over an hour to loot and salvage doesn't really do the time frame justice. The wreckage was so numerous, that even with skilled salvage pilots, wrecks began to disappear because the timer was expiring.

Outnumbered, kept us safe(ish heh) and still managed to get down and lay a good scramble spread on the dreads, which as anyone who's ever flown support in a fleet op, particularily at a POS slideshow, knows is often easier said than done.<BR/><BR/>Hard not to be damn proud to be BoB after pwnage like that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12393003.post-1165511019822572032006-12-07T17:03:00.000+00:002006-12-07T17:03:00.000+00:00Myself and a Few guys had been running around in a...Myself and a Few guys had been running around in a small t1 frig gang for hours<BR/><BR/>Heard about the battle going down but got stuck in jump queue for 20mins waiting to jump into AZN<BR/><BR/>Eventually got in and proceded to kill pods and ships at Station for 10mins lol<BR/><BR/>DeathWing wins EVE for local chatter imo<BR/><BR/>Great work guysAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12393003.post-1165507221752541232006-12-07T16:00:00.000+00:002006-12-07T16:00:00.000+00:00Nice work done by our guys there :)i hope someone ...Nice work done by our guys there :)<BR/>i hope someone got fraps :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12393003.post-1165506983037691502006-12-07T15:56:00.000+00:002006-12-07T15:56:00.000+00:00that scrap was probabley one of the best i have EV...that scrap was probabley one of the best i have EVER been in bar nothing.<BR/><BR/>I was looking forward to calling the BS like you wouldn't beleive! past 4 Am and utterly shattered, but i could not have been more awake when half way en route to them.<BR/><BR/>Lagged out, and had no choice but to drop teh ball on calling, which was picked up in no time by our resident Aussie FC, and oh boy! what a job! i'm not ashamed to admit he tore strips off me on the target calling and snap decision making.<BR/><BR/>that was a prolonged fight if ever i have seen one, and well over an hour to clean the wrecks of loot, and get them salvaged.<BR/><BR/>Every pilot from teh co-verts that got us set-up to the Battleships, to the interceptors were nothing short of absolutley on fire through out the whole engagement.

I know I could not do much but just stay where I was ordered. When all that remained was the dreads I warped over to where a lone dread was and scrambled and damped it in my covert to make sure it did not get away. <BR/><BR/>I just sat tight till a couple more support got over to it to keep scramble on it. After 5 mins or so I had to warp out in 1/3 armor as he finally got a lock and was able to use his drones on me :to bad for him he had several more support on him by that time.(( EXCELLENT JOB TO ALL SUPPORT AND BS PILOTS)..Truely amazing!!!<BR/><BR/>In the end that was the last dread to pop. The point being is that EVERYONE no matter what role we play makes a difference. It all boiled down to SUPURB FC, nerves of steel, discipline, target fire concentration, dedication,all around kick ass attitude. I could never be more proud to be BNC (BOB) as I was last night.

Blacklights well spoken words do still not do it justice. It started as more of a suicide run because well we couldnt really sit there and do nothing whilst a more numerous enemy killed our POS. But it turned into a glorious victory.<BR/><BR/>BS concentrated fire was the best i have ever seen. Support was truly awesome, i dont know how they managed to defeat enemy support that<BR/>were 3 times as many, whilst scrambling th odd BS that got out of the bubble, and changing targets to protect our own BS's.<BR/><BR/>Props to the ASCN pilots who fought hard, even after the situation was hopeless for them, and then didnt whinge about lag afterwards.<BR/><BR/>Awesome day for the aussies, awesome night for the USA guys. Bad day for the british who slept/wprked through and missed out.<BR/><BR/>Much like the last day of the last ashes test :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12393003.post-1165484555686211482006-12-07T09:42:00.000+00:002006-12-07T09:42:00.000+00:00R A W R !R A W R !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
