CVA's invasion of Catch??  ACK!

I know AAA and CVA had a 50 on 50 scrap in HED late in the evening Euro time, but Jesus Christ. Next he will be running around panicking about an invasion of Catch by the Molemen led by Marvin the Martian.

{edit} You know the only way this makes sense is if ET is mobilizing for yet another attack on Querious. BUT telling his troops that they are off to help mollie/ fight goons wont work (they wont turn up). Telling them the Goons will invade Catch if Mollie falls wont work either. Hes milked that particular wolf to death. Sooo now its "defending against an invasion by CVA"... and "guys since you are all here there's a little sidetreck we need to do..." *slams headfirst into a brick wall again*

if cva invades catch i may resub, I think that it would be quite fun for us tz guys like me :)   

also that's hilarious about merchi and completely appropriate, I still like a lot of those guys and having a comedy of errors still result in success sums up that corporation very nicely

edit-note that what yalson said above is likely more indicative of the majority of -a- pilots opinion than mine, due to my history with gs I don't have the same outrage against them that many -a- guys do.  on another note, ET never misleads -a- about who we're about to fight-we just never get told in the first place :)

Anyway, if ET feels so threatened by a hypothetical CVA invasion of Catch, how would he feel about KenZoku invading it from 49-?

You forgot the Illuminati. What you havent seen Dan Browns latest Blockbuster that reveals the truth, Angels and Demons?  why so serious?

On a more serious note, Mittanis latest blog on tentonhammer is on RoyofCA, who tragically ended his own life recently upon the news he was being discharged from the army. Its pretty well written and worth a read here http://www.tentonhammer.com/node/69128

Ok so Catch/Prov.  SYLPH 40 man got murdered in 9UY'ish by a 40 man romaing PL gang.  PL does comedy ops? 

First fleet op.  Insured sinper Rokh and as the only blue sniper (didn't have the time/will to care to blaterRohk) and we were all gathered around the gate so I was pretty much just there for the dancing.  PL gang was apparently sniper heavy so they just cruised through the bubble, dragging our tacklers with them and smooshed us from 200+.   

Is there some sort of SOP for these things?  It seems gathering around the gate negates the advantage of having the damn thing bubbled, right?

SOP is that you don't let the enemy outrange you on your own gatecamp.  A close-in crew to tackle and shred can be part of a gatecamp, but a fleet-grade gatecamp without a critical mass of snipers is an invitation for exactly what happened to you.  A pure close-range fleet without lots of webs is also slightly stupid.

--Dave

EDIT: Also, putting your entire gang inside your own bubbles is an invitation to get mousetrapped.  Sacrificial fixing force comes through the gate, then main force enters via another gate or Titan hot-drop and you've bubbled your own fleet.

Goonswarm corp Merchi deployed a new outpost today in 1-2J.

Well, actually they deployed it yesterday.  They just forgot the fuel part of the equation.  So it sat there in space for a full day, waiting for some passing gank squad to break their killboards when they tried to post it.  And today, proving that God takes care of old folks and Merchi, we have an ill-deserved new outpost.

And apparently Evil Thug, perhaps acting on information from ace schoolboy intelligence chief Jake Noble, spent much of the day gathering their resources to repel CVA's massive invasion of Catch.  Wait, what...?!?  swamp poop
I can't wait for the reveal that Jake Noble's been the Mittani's right hand man since the beginning. Seriously, that's the only explanation that makes any sort of sense.  Oh ho ho ho. Reallllly?

Thumbs up!

That was my report. We were almost all short range, we burned the first couple of times to burn the tacklers, then we just warped to 30 and tried to us our DPS. We didn't have a lot.

Holy crap I am probably an idiot and ET may have been right at last.  Is it true that CVA are, indeed, shooting at least one tower in Catch?!?  Is the Rodina at risk?

Given that this is based on a couple of blurry posts in GF.com - that well-known source for all that is reliable and trustworthy and not at all speculative - and that I know how the last discussion on invading Catch went on the CVA forums, I'm sceptical that it's more than CVA shooting an Ushra Khan tower and someone getting over-excited, but inquiring minds seek information.

Anyway, Molle has, indeed, called for two weeks of intensive ops, supposedly basing out of KFIE in Delve, not Querious.  Given what happened last time they based out of an NPC station in Delve (and, in fact, that PL traditionally camps them into whatever NPC station they base out of, sometimes tackling and killing the odd titan for variety) I am bemused.  And that station had three times the (gate) exits.  Misdirection?  A logistics-ignoring attempt on a singleton station in Delve?  I am excited to find out.

If the catch invasion is true, I can see how this benefits both sides

ET "Sorry Mollie old boy, I'm fighting off an invasion. Cant come help you even though I really really really want to *phew*" *Celebrates face saving excuse for telling Kenny to get lost.*

CVA - Having fought with and against both, CVA are pound for pound better than AAA.

But its probably just them messing up a UNITY tower or two. Either way, all this is is  Popcorn from where I'm sitting, but will be fun to watch.

On the other front I'm getting the strangest feeling Kenny have given up on Querious. Knowing their love for attacking where our forces ARN'T I'm almost expecting an attack on one of the non sov 4 constellations of Delve. Frontal Impact are spamming like crazy in Querious as well to hold the line. Well we shall see.

Sir T, let me pre-empt Trevor, Setar et al and ask just why you think that the person we have been trolling for taking pay-for-play, in charge of the alliance who we have been trolling as having no stamina and for being Kenny's pets etc etc, are so desperately looking for excuses not to fight us?

And re how CVA compare with AAA the comparison you make, as well as being purely subjective (half of us here have fought both with and against CVA), is kinda pointless.  I'd go out on a limb and say that Stimulus are, pound for pound, better than AAA.  But there are almost 2000 more AAA than Stimulus, last time I saw either.  It was a Russian who pointed out that quantity has a quality all of its own.

Makes sense.

That'll teach you to invade Catch.

Did you like it when we invaded Providence a couple of nights ago in T1 cruisers?  We also invaded Catch that night.  Like Evil Thug, we're pretty much in the game for ~good invasions~

Asscakes' big push was on H74, they downed both jump bridges before our titans could get in,  took system control, downed the jammer and are en route to spam every open moon in the system (40+). If they maintain system control like they did in 49- and learned from the mistakes in I1Y, they have a good chance of taking the system

No, it's 5 towers from 4 different alliances and 1 tower from 4 other alliances.  They are trying to drop 40 and seal off the system all at once.

It wont be that easy though, we have a lot of larges and several smalls holding moons plus allies have a couple so even if things go great for them they are still looking at having to control the system through the weekend and into next week just to break SoV.

edit: And apparently a Kenny BS fleet (probably the same one as the picture above) is getting mauled, part of the fleet warped off leaving ~100 stuck in bubbles.

Reports have local at 1000+
