The Hammer Drops
« on: 27 Jan 2014, 11:39 »

Don't know how many of you have been following the currect dick waving contest in Null, but things have just got serious in B-R5 in Immensea. Sov dropped and both sides have dropped supers and titans.

http://themittani.com/news/breaking-massive-supercap-battle-br-5

Half an hour in, approx. 400b isk destroyed, 90b of which comes from a Nulli Secunda Avatar. Apparently a PL Erebus is down as well, but I've yet to find a killmail.

Lets see how this develops  :yar:

I always forget things happen in null. I haven't been out there on a permanent basis in years.

Apparently a third PL/N3 titan is down, although again I'm yet to see a killmail.

Edit:

And a fourth PL/N3 titan, as well as one CFC Ragnarok.

2nd Edit:

Current count says 86 titans on the field all told, making it one of the largest supercap fights ever. This is in addition to more than 120 Nyx and over 75 Aeons.

3rd edit:

RAZOR Ragnarok down

Thank the stars, the Nullbears are finally doing something interesting instead of sitting on their systems waiting to get bathponed on some lowsec scrubs.

5th, 6th and 7th N3/PL titans down.

Also a CFC Erebus (broken killmail, but the titan is really dead).

Up to 860b destroyed.

When the odds of this actually impacting any wallets in a significant fashion are almost zero, the use of damage in ISK as a statistic seems like an exercise in irrelevance to me.

Lagging Behind

Morwen's Law:
1) The number of capsuleer women who are bisexual is greater than the number who are lesbian.
2) Most of the former group appear lesbian due to a lack of suitable male partners to go around.
3) The lack of suitable male partners can be summed up in most cases thusly: interested, worth the air they breathe, available; pick two.

More just using it as an indicator of scale.

Differening reports now, Goons say 10 PL/N3 titans down, PL/N3 say 8. Both sides agree on 4 Goon/RUS titans dead.

If the numbers seems surprising, it's because PL/N3 are focusing on dreads in an attempt to lower the incoming dps. There are a lot of dead dreads on both sides now.

Edit:

Make that 5 Goon/RUS titans.

2nd edit:

Large killboard update, losses now total 2 trillion.

3rd edit:

One of the the most expensive titans ever dies, clocking in at 160b.

PL claims they had enough in the wallet for it to pay. Either they're lying their faces off, or they had a spai. Either way, hilariously embarrassing, :smugsmug: probably deserved.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

Large space battles intrigue me, but looking at the images, I'm less inclined to try to see one or take part in one for some reason.

I think it is partly just the sheer ugliness of it. There's nothing anyone can do about it, but it is certainly off-putting. It looks like a kid just dumped his toybox onto the floor.

To me, that's exactly what it should look like. Space is not a place for formation flying, space is huge. Just dump as many ships as possible onto grid and get down and dirty. Space battles should be messy and confusing and all over the place, nobody quite sure if they're winning or losing and ships exploding left, right and center.

I want a mess that nobody can untangle until it's finished, something that is tense and exciting while its happening, but that can be slotted into an overaching strategy once it's over.

In other news, RAZOR have taken sov in the system.
