Old Hroft is regarded as one of best bomber fleet commanders in game, so when we were offered a battle report for the last timer in GIH-ZG (Tribute), we couldn’t simply refuse.

A tipster highlighted the tactical value of the solar system:

Pay attention to GIH in Tribute final IHUB timer today at around 18:00 eve time and both sides are expected to bring everything they have. CFC is attempting to take the system from the dot brothers. Unfortunatly for the dotbrothers it was a renter system that can cut a whole constilation off which includes 2 renter station systems

Battle Report: The GIH-ZG Thunder Run.

19.08.2012 Somewhere in Tribute

Sunday was promising to be interesting. GIH-ZG i-hub was in final reinforce timer and battle between Goons and NC. Was about to happen. We had a bomber wing training planned with AAA+ROL+EFS and after that was going to make one combat flight as well. Vince told me that Goons had 1200+ pilots in GIH-ZG so NCDOT would not venture to enter system. I felt a bit lazy going there, coz enemy that has nothing to shoot would not let be killed by bombers. I told fleet members the way things were, some dropped fleet and only 36 of us left.

Goons entered system and already killed a cynojammer on which I thought main engagement will take place. I set bombers around ihub and started to wait. X.I.X were orbiting it in their AHACs but we didn’t bomb coz Red Alliance had positive standings with X.I.X.

Cyno went up and dreads came into system. We still sit and wait. We were hoping that enemy was not expecting for a bombing run coz we have mix fleet of pilots from different corporations and some from sov holding alliances.
Suddenly whole enemy fleet warped on ihub.


BOMBS AWAY!

Bombs are hitting targets perfectly, TiDi hits up and wrecks are slowly appearing on grid.

Now the enemy knew we were in system, so they spread out and kill i-hub.

We made an attempt of catching them on gate but we didn’t succeed.

Since nobody else shot goons eve-kill link looks nice.

Eve-Kill Battle Summary

After the bomb run, GoonSwarm Federation indeed took the system, only to have it flipped a few hours later by NCDOT. Given the tactical value of the system, don’t be surprised if the DekCo manages to capture it back by the end of the week if not sooner.

    short n simple… awesome

  • SgtSimons

    whats with all the random corporations that are not part of alliances in the bomb fleet? You are just asking for spies

    • War Observer

      Goons are universally hated so many people take any opportunity to kill them.

    • CCP is best

      Pro spies always let the bombers kill 10bil worth of ship.

      • SgtSimons

        touche good sir

  • Javajunky

    Hmmm.. what was that a couple hours of tech – ok moving on

    • War Observer

      IIRC 1 tech moon = 6 B/month, damage is 10.4B so that would be about 6 weeks of one moon production gone in 2 min

    • Jason

      You don't know much about moon mining do you?

  • Alvus Parasite

    I wish Hroft did English language fleets

  • FormerCFCGrunt

    ah well… goons didn't take sov.
    at least this gives 35 days of no cyno-jammers in system.

    and pretty sweet bombing run :)

  • Poastin Toaster

    Nice bombing run.

    Since this war began there have been so many good bombing runs. Its fun to see and read about.

  • OhNoes

    CFC are going to Kill the money source hey?, its producing gf's and at least these dudes are all having fun.

    • Truth

      Cfc have never been part of a gf, an never won a gf. They good at 5to1 odds though :) they the cancer in eve, sooner they cascade an all the winning side jumpers make there own way in eve the sooner eve will envelop more fun an gfs ;)

      • BillyBob

        How about instead of boasting about the downfall of the CFC and all this chest beating, you actually do something about it. If the rest of 0.0 had even half of the coordination or unit cohesion as the CFC, we would have been defeated years ago.

        • anonymous

          no one else wants to be that big but you guys

        • Jakes

          Most alliance don't want to blue ever alliance around them, most people in the game dislike tidi fights, why is that so hard to understand.

          • ANRGY MAN

            Dude, cfc ARE the "most".

          • كوكايين

            Although CFC isn't the most people in the game, we have like 40k pilots, out of idk 400k subscribers?

            That being said I'm in CFC, and I can confidently say most people in CFC don't like tidi fights ether, It goes without saying that they are very boring, but no question tidi does work to our advantage, and not to take advantage of that would be a mistake.

          • nulli member

            If you don't like it, you don't have any advantage…

          • grunt

            We are talking CFC/HBC being majority of 0.0 sov holders, not over half of Eve subscribers.
            Why stay in the blue blob if you don't like TiDi fights? Join any other faction and you have better chance of smaller fights. Be part of a solution, not the problem!

          • Truthseeker

            No, they're "the loudest". Big difference, dude.

          • Uninstall eve

            Being blue to every one is boring: fact,hence that when a lot of alliances begin to gain to many blues they do a rage reset to ensure there's stuff to shoot an gfs to be had. Cfc have got this completely wrong,an they just keep gaining failed alliances that I win jump to the other side. It's like watching cancer spread, sad :(

          • Guest

            To you blue everywhere is boring. To others it's not. To each his own, right? Or is it just automatic that anyone that doesn't have your opinion is just a moron? That is complete win sir.

          • jarhead

            eventually the Goon pets time will come.

            the Goons only need the other CFC members while there are reds in 0.0

            once CFC holds all of 0.0 the goons will destroy / assimilate all the non-goon pets.

      • always laughahaha

        Just so you have the correct understanding, if the CFC does in fact get purged from null, it won't be long before another villain takes their place. That's just the way the shit goes dude.

        • Hope4EVE

          Wouldn't be long, well maybe so, but however short the span of gfs are worth it. Get rid of the cancer from eve and would of been something well done. Mb after that point it will be easier to batter down the new villan if 2 3rds of 0.0 arn't stupidly blue to each other. Keep them in check an the gfs if cfc fall will last longer than you would expect :)

        • Truthseeker

          I'd LOVE to see a new "big bad guy" in EVE.

          I actually miss SirMolle, that guy and BoB/IT was another kind of villain. At least they weren't as annoying in and out of the game or so full of themselves for pressing F1…well, they were smug for pressing F1 in their supercaps but that's something at least.

          But the only thing that I really, really want in a new supervillain would be that he doesn't blue anyone and their moms. Everything else is optional.

    • Just_A_Dude

      It's a very good bomber run, well done.

      As for all the brow beating about blobs, CFC, and gudfites … it's still quite a while before the fat lady gets to sing. No doubt there's gonna be lots of tears and reasons why CFC-et-al are awful and bad at eve … yet still managed to beat the dotboys back to an NPC-null bolthole.
      CFC are terribad, just ask any of them, but they are also going to sweep the double-crossing dots out of there. That sweep has only just begun, and no amount of syndicated newseve24 propaganda is going to change the outcome.

      • Herpa Derp

        Do you still think Dotbros Broke the OTEC Agreement ROFL sigh,you been looking @ M*ttani.com again LOL
        No CFC broke the OTEC Agreement wich should be obvious to even CFC members by now,however much they like to base denial an say "yes sir,ill be a tool for you M*ttani,let me shoot structures,while you take majoirty of Tech into your RL wallet sir"

        NC.killed some CFC caps on a Tech moon POS,but didn't shoot the POS, Hence not breaking the OTEC,then CFC broke OTEC by actually shooting Tech Moons,now if thats not clear,say because iv got a few pills that migh cram a few extra IQ numbers into your head ;)

        • fuck goons

          does this mean PL will side with NC. and the rest of the tec holders are going to attack the Cfc? or goons? or whoever shot "your" tech moon first? or are you really just CFC shitty pets whether you want to believe it or not?

  • Suzume

    Warp to zero FTL or bubble?

  • BLOB

    CFC wanted news of a victory of theres,well here we go,they have won a few ACTUAL Fights,mb 2-3 that could be considered a fight,all others just mindless 5to1 odds stupidity,now you could consider this a fight as realistically CFC only had 2to1 odds,so thats scarrily bad odds for them lol
    After welping fleet after fleet,CFC Finally made the anti AHAC ship (drake) actually affective against AHACs LOL. Took a long time,but finally it worked. Now Dotbros have hammered CFC numerous times as we know when outnumbered. CFC this time,it looks like you managed to get it right.The evident advantages given i.e. being in the Countership type & the 2to1 numbers, coupled with there Traking Dreads swayed things from having all advantages on paper,to actually making those advantages stick for a change. P.S. there only really been 2-3 Fights were CFC have won that havn't been mass 5to1 odds blob,so in the event of trying to post something that they do wich is faintly decent,this would be it,but my self I prefer hearing about the numerous outnumbered fights were the spartans (Dotbros) win the day & show the little guy can kick the big daft idiot in the balls,much more interesting & inspirational :)

    • ?!?

      HAS CFC ever won a straight up fight? If so link for proof or it never happened.

      • Jason

        No, even IRC beats CFC fleets when odds are even.

      • Guy

        Straight up fights are really in the minority in Eve, regardless of the alliance.

  • heinrich1

    please, if goons really wanted to win, they will also use bombers and use jammers if they want. dont be dumb, otherwise no one would fight them

    • Jason

      They do use bombers, alot of CFC dudes that haven't got a clue think that Mr. vee is the greatest bomber FC the game has ever seen

      • taffelmester

        LOL yeah. It's funny how all the CFC scrubs seems to think their FC's are brilliant. Good for them I guess lol.

  • e001

    -a- is still shit

  • yup

    good news but please ffs grammar/spell-check, sounds like a 13 yo wrote it.
