Massive EVE Online Battle Breaks Out, Pretty Lights Ensue

Posted on Wednesday, January 30 @ 13:09:38 Eastern by

This EVE Online battle, sent in by tipster elmoreoocyte is fantastic for its scale and visual display of power, but maybe you'd like to hear an EVE Online story today, so let's get to the details.

PC Gamer reports that on January 27th, the ClusterFuck Coalition and the HoneyBadger Coalition duked it out. Reinforcements continued to flood the battlefield for hours on end, including the two largest ships in the game, Supercarriers and Titans.

These two groups boil down to players joined by their natural love for Something Awful (ClusterFuck) and Reddit (HoneyBadger). There's been lots of tension between the groups, but it wasn't until one Titan-piloting Goon warped into a Redditor-controlled zone that the Redditors started aggression in force. The pilot, named Dabigredboat, says this was the result of a single misclick.

PC Gamer says that the Titan and Supercarrier ships require over 9000 900 pilots to destroy and that multiple entered the battle. In fact, three Goon Titans, five Goon Supercarriers, and one Reddit Supercarrier failed to exit the battle, succumbing to enemy fire.

According to GoonSwarm leader The Mittani, the fleets suffered some 700 billion ISK (or $20,000) in damage during the "complete rout" of the Something Awful alliance. I'm sure I've said this before but EVE Online is the greatest game I will never play.

    And I'll also say, good for Reddit. Something Awful can go die.

    I was never a member, but their photoshop contests always made me laugh. Don't think I've even been to the site in 5 years though, so it couldn't have been that great.

    I wonder if they still do the photoshop contests because normally those are shared across the internet every time a new one pops up.

    It sounds fantastic but when I played the trial it was too grindy and slow for my tastes.

    "I'm sure I've said this before but EVE Online is the greatest game I will never play"

    I've heard so much neat stuff about this game, but never even tried a demo because it sounded so far over my head.

    As always, thanks for the shoutout Dan!

    The work they've done to make that fight even possible is incredible. When I was in m3, and they were part of Paxton Federation when AAA kicked CVA and friends out of Providence, we won as many fights as we lost initially due to lag. Got even worse when we migrated to Northern Coalition. We crashed a few nodes and victory usually came down to luck. Only recently started dipping my toes back into pvp.

    And you can also give the 2 week free trial a shot, but as was mentioned above, early game is pretty grind-y, however it's not hard to quickly skill up to be a competent forward scout for fleets. I've been playing for 6 years and haven't got into capital ships, primarily because you can't park supercarriers and above, and supercarriers have been annihilating Dreadnoughts and standard carriers by just giving them dirty looks.
