Last night, in JH-M2W Goonswarm Federation (GSF) fought Ivy League, also known as EVE University, resulting in 10 billion isk worth of assets being destroyed!
Goonswarm Federation noticed EVE Uni’s Fleet and in response they formed up a Armageddon fleet to fight EVE Uni’s Armor BS fleet.
C are a very strong fleet doctrine for these kind of fights because they have a very strong tank and your main DPS output comes from drones. The Armageddon has a 375 m3 drone bay which means that you can carry a maximum of 3 sets of heavy drones, which is enough to replace your drones, if they get blown up.
Another benefit of using drones is that you free up your highslots. Of course you can fill your high slots with some kind of weapon system but often you will see that people will choice Energy Destabilizers. These modules allow you to Neutralize the enemy capacitor, creating all kinds of problems for your enemy. You can for example neut your main target, stopping him from using his tank modules and therefore making him easier to kill, or if you are close enough you could even Neutralize the enemy’s logistical ships, stopping their whole fleet from receiving reps.
Goonswarm warped their fleet to a titan and prepared their cyno on route of the EVE Uni fleet and sure enough the Goonswarm cyno alt saw local spike with EVE Uni pilots, he lit his cyno and the CFC fleet jumped in. EVE Uni was not afraid to fight the Goonswarm fleet because they had already prepared three Triage Carriers to support their fleet. Goonswarm saw the Archons jump in and decided that this could become a problem for them. They called for Armaggadons to start neutralizing the enemy carriers on grid.
EVE Uni had brought a lot of EWAR with them, including remote sensor dampeners and ECM Scorpions. This combination was very dangerous for Goonswarm. Knowing that EVE Uni would not be able to do anything about it, the Goonswarm FC commanded a handful of supers/titans to join the fleet and jump to the lit cyno. A GSF Avatar pilot, Commander Anater, was the first to enter the field. He picked out one of the Archons and he fired his doomsday weapon, resulting in the archon piloted by Leia Minmatar being vollied of the field.
A total of 2 GSF Avatars’s, 1 Wyvern, 2 Nyx’s and 3 Aeon’s jumped in which was to much for the EVE Uni fleet to handle. However EVE Uni doesn’t give up easily and spotted a Goonswarm Nidhogger who had jumped in with the titans and supers. Nidhoggers are not known for their tank, so EVE Uni decided to select him as their new target. The Nidhogger piloted by Goonswarm member, Epic Fool had no chance of surival and was quickly removed from the field. Sadly however, by the time the Nidhogger died, The EVE Uni fleet had already lost a lot of ships and so the fight came to an end.
