mittens just broadcasted: "Somehow I don't think we'll need to worry about a Titan escalation for at least a couple of months."

I'm curious to know how n3 is viewing the events that happened yesterday, and exactly what it means for the long term objective. cfc is full on knifetwisting mode right now, back to back fleets have been broadcasted for pretty much the entire morning.

So this is like the only time I'm going to kinda shit talk here so bare with me. N3 isn't CFC, and it's telling that you innately think there's gonna be spin to begin with.

Okay so now that's out of the way, I'll give it to you straight. Who fucking cares? We lost Titans, big fucking whoop. Yes, that's a lot of ISK to lose and it's historical, it was a dicking of the century. Again...it's just Titans, we didn't even lose 10% of our Super fleet, which is our workhorse. Even if you did dick our Super fleet as well it wouldn't have been anywhere near enough to set us back. We have along with PL the most established renter system in the entire game. We can welp 750 supers each month and that's just breaking even. It really isn't a big deal. I mean for fuck sake, PL had 34 titans in holding that they handed out IMMEDIATELY after all was said and done as reimbursement, which is absolutely back shit insane.

There IS a big deal here though, and that's the fact that we have a locked system so close to our home. Yesterday was the quintessential good fight, and anybody in N3 or PL leadership will tell you it was good content and was just nice to be a part of. It sucks, but in the end that's what EVE is.

Prognosis? Looking forward to more good fights.

It's funny how much I don't care about what happens in a game I never played and never want to, even though this is supposedly a big deal.

And yet you're here telling us how much you "don't care"

Go on...

Thanks for posting.

Anyway, I've never played it either. I have considered it but don't think I have the time. Its just fun to hear about this game, and its not the first time it has made national news. When there was some big spy/assassination years ago and some CEO went down and a boatload of things were "looted" was when I first heard of Eve.

Good. That's what I was hoping to hear.

Also, 'spinning' wasn't necessary the best phrase to use there. It's expected that after a massive fight to have each side with their own 'well this is how that happened..' story differ from one another. I meant no slanderous tones with said 'spin' merely was curious to see how it was being handled, since CFC side is largely boasting of victory, and holyshit does the common goon enjoy a good smug. Back in the fountain war, it was hilarious reading the implosion of TEST. After ever major fight, their forums became extremely toxic.

I'm excited to see what happens next. Prior to lastnight, it's been a very big well lets see IF we can break their slowcats, and what happens when titans land on grid. I don't think we've had a single massacre of slowcat fleet once in this war up until lastnight. We usually are lucky to catch one or two.

[Millburn]

Yeah that's probably the biggest actual victory of this whole thing is CFC/Rus finally breaking our slowcats. Everyone knew you guys had it in you, but it's a composition that requires you go balls deep to counter which the CFC hadn't been willing to do prior to yesterday. Now that the cat is out of the bag, I wonder how much more confident you guys will be.

You can't take your money out of Eve, at least unless there is a black market RMT going on. Its based on the set exchange rate for real money into Eve money and doesn't really mean anything when you think about it.

that's what I'm thinking, people are crazy

Rooks and Kings were there (of course they were) and made a badass video.

[Millburn]

Man we better get some permanent titan wrecks out in that system.

[yevea]

Necessary really. Is this the first major titan v titan conflict? With all the news coverage ccp is getting out of yesterday, it'd be foolish for them to not do something along those lines.
