Hi guys,



Server-wise, we had one of the worst fights ever yesterday. Even though I had a lot of fun being in it, the frustration from 60-70% of our Titans not being able to fire a DD cause of DC's is pretty annoying. But it is what it is. In general I think the fight was pretty even, as the battlereport shows. When goons arrived with their armor fleet, the node instantly died. Had it lived, it would have been more bloody, but NC. was ready in range with their superfleet that matched the goon armor one.

The big mistake we as FCs made, was that we didn't think through what would happen after the node-crash. We were all tired and said fuck it, we'll deal with this later. This was the mistake that put us in this situation, it allowed tapi to take control of the grid where all our caps (including TRI and HOLY mains) are logged off at. Funny enough the win didn't come from the fight, it came from the node-crash.

I am not going to try and spin this, the current situation sucks. It's not something that hasn't happened before and this probably won't be the last time. Everyone that is stuck, should mentally prepare for being stuck there for a couple of days minimum.

Tapi is doing a 24/7 camp of the system, their rageforms are high at the moment. All the EU&US boys that aren't stuck, PL mains, BL mains and Winter mains that managed to break out in their subcaps will constantly harass that spot. Clear the camp, kill the bubbles and force a rageform. We will do that time and time again, until they have had enough of feeding their rageforms to us.

To make sure the average carebear in tapi loses interest, is to make sure NOBODY LOGS IN AND FEEDS CAPITALS! If you log in and feed, because you want to get your carrier out; you encourage them to stay there and camp our entire supercap fleet into that grid.



For everyone that has mains or alts that can fly subcaps, have them ready in Y-F and join fleets when an FC pings. Our only focus until everyone is extracted, is to farm TAPI in UALX and prevent them from farming our logged off dudes. Make it unfun for them to camp there, gets us out.

Hang in there brethren! Go outside today and go fix your sleepschedule, since that took a big hit during the fight.

Ignoring the broken servernode, everyone did a great job in that fight. Thank you for being there and sorry for forcing you to go outside for a day. 9_9



Further updates will follow as soon as I can share them. Obviously I can't share the full plan until we put it in motion, but here it is.

Relax.
