Today the Neo-Curse Coalition made many mistakes, mistakes which SOLAR FLEET did not hesitate to take advantage of.
Battle Report: The NCC vs SOLAR FLEET – Offensive Continues in the Eastern Front, Battle for 1V-LI2
Firstly, they scrapped their initial plan and decided to jump in before the timers to ruin a sudden SOLAR FLEET CTA – according to intel, they were planning on deploying a cyno-jammer. SOLARs gathered a Hellcat fleet with loads of Guardians support and a secondary Tier3 Battlecruiser fleet. The NCC had prepared the usual Tengu 2.0 fleet plus a small bomber squad supporting with Void Bombs (they reduce the capacitor of each target hit). The initial fight was around 200 SOLARs versus 150 NCCs and it was quite one-sided as the NCCs tengu-fleet couldn’t take down the abaddons even with void bomb support and SOLAR t3 battlecruisers were allowed to snipe as much as they liked.
Metagaming Kicks in
Meanwhile, a NCC POS password was leaked and a small group of SOLARs tried to bump out a boosting Titan. To minimize losses, the main Tengu-fleet of NCC retreated to the same POS just as the password was changed to save the Titan. Some people who weren’t fast enough with entering the new password got bumped out the forcefield and were greeted with close range SOLAR Hellcats – this brought yet another few Tengu losses for the NCC.
With the NCC fleet hiding inside the forcefield, SOLAR Hellcats and Tier3s were camping the POS and had deployed around 10 Mobile Large Warp Disruptors, basically stopping any movement in and out of the forcefield.
Not so desperate measures
But the Infrastructure Hub was still reinforced for an hour, so the NCC had plenty of time to reorganize and to come up with a plan to deal with the SOLAR hellcats and T3 sniper-supports. Red Alliance prepared their usual jamming Scorpion fleet and Gypsy bombers changed from Void Bombs to Scorch Bombs to protect the Scorpions from SOLAR T3 sniper-support. Gorgon Empire and DarkSide. were notified about this timer too late so they weren’t ready for the battle – this left NCC without a sniper-support fleet of their own and they knew the incoming battle will thus be tough. SOLAR kept their hellcat format and brought in a small jamming Scorpion fleet, a few bomber squads and an AHAC fleet – Zealots, Vagabonds, SFIs.
Reinforcements Arrive
New cynos were lit up, NCC reinforcements were bridged in and a new battle started. SOLAR hellcats went for the tengufleet, AHACs for the Red Alliance scorpions and the bombers were just failing. NCC tengu-fleet was trying to take down the abaddons while gaining some range and their bombers were chasing the SOLAR T3 snipers around the grid, even scoring some kills – but the main objective was to keep them occupied with all the warping around. As a huge relief for NCC, about half-way through the battle came their friends from the north, NC. and Nulli. This changed the course of the battle and enough SOLAR ships were killed for MACTEP (the CEO of SOLAR) to call for a retreat. After that NCC logged in their dreadnoughts and killed the Infrastructure Hub, thus completing their objective for the day at the cost of 18 Tengus and lots of supports.
But that wasn’t the end of the day for them as they realized that SOLARs had reinforced the Q-GQHN (Wicked Creek) station again, the IHUB was destroyed previously using other fleets as decoys. This station came out of reinforce at the same time as the 1V-LI2 (Scalding Pass) IHUB – The NCC leadership were convinced that they could only fight for one timer and that SOLAR FLEET would meanwhile take the other one without a battle, but much to their surprise after killing the IHUB, they didn’t see any resistance in Q-GQHN. The SBUs were killed and system saved.

To end on a happy note – AAA were supposed to come and had a CTA fleet to help SOLARs, but they couldn’t come as they were camped by Pandemic Legion and friends. Good times.

I am surprised (nay, shocked) that goons haven't reset anyone for helping NCC, and in effect, helping the DOTbros.
Do goons need to reset anyone? no
"To end on a happy note – AAA were supposed to come and had a CTA fleet to help SOLARs, but they couldn’t come as they were camped by Pandemic Legion and friends. Good times."
Figured goons have vilified the DOTbros enough that their membership would be herf blerfing that PL should've let -A- go over there to kill NCDot/Nulli
Why would PL shoot NC. they are buds. Which is why once the East has been purged, HBC and NC. Will push into Delkin.
Mark my words VFK falls by December, under combined force of NCC/DOTBros/HBC.
and anyone who thinks DOTBros is done needs learn up on propaganda. This split is orchestrated, it is designed for one thing, get the CFC fighting in the North East again, as to pull assets from the North West.
Mittens knows this, it is why he is skeptical about continuing into Vale. Vale is a long long grind, and is a good hike for folks and kit to back track to the other front.
VFK falls by December.
One can only hope. The thing is, TEST has that permanent +10 thing with goons…
Goons aren't +10 to us…
"To end on a happy note – AAA were supposed to come and had a CTA fleet to help SOLARs, but they couldn’t come as they were camped by Pandemic Legion and friends. Good times."
Wrong, we actually did come. To our surprise we got shot at by Solar and Black Legion, rather pissed off at them we left. Still uneventful and unsatisfactory, but nonetheless, we were there near the end, getting shot at by the very people we were trying to help.
I still love eve
Helps to set blue standings…
not as far as -A- are concerned! I mean hell would you want other alliances/entities knowing your blue to -A-?
different timer
Yes & the majority vote says that you deserved everything you got!
however please do not worry cause whats coming your way will make you feel very much like moving to a more stable & capable entity!
What you going to do also when Solar backstab you in the near future? Funny part is I will bet no-one believes this is whats going to happen, but not to worry.
Was a different timer you are talking about, for a CSAA. The CSAA was killed but it was BL. that shot at -A-, not SOLAR also.
Ah, I stand corrected then
On the second encounter, lag allowed many ships to catch reps which perhaps they wouldnt normally of is what ppl were saying. If this hadnt happened, Solar would have suffered some very heavy losses.
The Solar AHAC fleet was devasted, and as the report says not very succesful bombing runs.
It was a great fight tho. I dont think any1 felt out blobbed. If it wasnt for the lag it would have been a truly epic fight. The logi on both sides performed excellently.
The only ones missing again were -A-.
Later SONE formed a Drake fleet to attack Irukanji, the latest victim of large alliance bullying for not siding with them in this conflict by -A-. Fortunately, while Irukanji worked on the SONE SBUs, the usual INK/WHYSO combo Tengu fleet stood guard in the hopes of some GFs from the -A- cyno toon hovering around.

Painful lesson was delivered to SONE regarding Drakes. Sadly for SONE -A- let them die in a horrible fire. As can be seen from the Battle Report only a fool would take that fleet against Tengus unless you believed you had a some kind of plan/support. It was believed to be a bait fleet, and it was bitten.
It's funny to me that Imperial Legion aren't mentioned yet battles in their region are.
".. but they couldn’t come as they were camped by Pandemic Legion and friends. Good times."
XD
Meanwhile in LGK, -A- wa docked, after losing a Rag to PL this moning right before downtime.. wololol, also HBC made it to this fight, supers down, op success, ought7
