The secrets on how to loose 50+ capitals and a support fleet without killing anything while outnumbering the enemy 2:1


Keyword; Strategy.
We play chess in game, we plan for our opponents move, we try to pre-plan on what to do when it happens, and with different scenarios. Theres nothing we haven't seen, we seen it all, in various places, all over New Eden.

Saturday afternoon was no different then other afternoons. We weren't actually expecting a fight.... as the afternoon grew older, we saw that we might get one, the enemy is amassing in 9cg, local goes up to 350 in 9cg before the showdown while we are preparing to kill and siege a hostile capfleet. We get reports of 60+ hostile capitals, and people start waking up from their slumbers.... we count a total of about 400 hostiles... this is going to be a slugfest. We have 200 active pilots.

The friendly tower is reinforced.

Apart from the regulars in Kenny, we are seing new faces, EXE, SYSK, SCA and Hun Reloaded has turned up, in huge numbers. Hostiles are streaming into 9CG... We watch them set up, and get ready. A few key elements lets us decide what to do. They are splitting fleets, one to siege, one to support.

This is where Kenny et al lost the battle. Before even jumping one ship, they have already lost. The pre-planning and the strategy they have chosen will not work, regardless of numbers.

The gameplan for Kenny is simple, jump in a boatload of people into 9CG using cynos, as a distraction to bridging people and capitals in. EXE/SCA/Hun Reloaded are chosen for this. On the incoming gate, all our supports are parked, and, a large t2 bubble. We also have 5 titans on standby, for various tasks.

It begins.

200+ pilots jumps into 9CG using the regular gate, they are slaughtered by the support fleet as they load inside the bubble. As their battleships jumps in, two titans prepares... and a hostile cyno goes off at the gate, 300km below it. Our titans are setup for 200 above it. Our supports warps to cyno, and titan decloaks and fires while second titan warps in to fire the second doomsday. Jackpot. Our support lives, while all hostile fleet, are promptly wasted. Our supports starts killing cynoes below the gate as the Kenny capitals jumps in at the gate. Second cyno goes up at a Goonfleet pos, and carriers are deployed to that cyno along with our battleships. Kenny are bridging a new boatload of fleet in, this time the Kenny regulars.

Fights all over the system, carriers are winning their fight at the Goonfleet pos, supports are holding down the enemy capitals, and our capitals are ordered to warp to the hostile capitals....
Our battleships are sent to sniper spot above gate, to deal with any incoming remaining fleet.

"Capitals, your primary is....Shrike" 5 minutes pass.

The node collapses and dies. 9CG have 500+ in system, and we have been fighting a good 15-30 minutes when the node siezes.... No capitals were killed before the node crash, but, Kenny lost the fleet that gated in, they lost the main bulk of the fleet that bridged in, and whatever is left... is 80+ capitals. The waiting game starts.. the node dies a couple of more times before it finally starts loading. It has taken the server about 2 hours to understand what it should do, and we send EVERYONE onto the gate, we will NOT stand down from this. Whoever runs first, dies horribly.

After the first breathtaking 15 minutes before we get people properly loaded... its anyones guess who is going to die badly today.

Its a turkeyshoot.

50+ capitals dies a agonizing death while they are trying to run away.

You lost this before it even started Kenny. Come prepared next time.

Its simply called home field advantage. GOONS are the ones on the DEFENSIVE and we all know that an attacking force loses more numbers then a defending force.
