Trinity Patch 1.1

Yes, it's been some time. No, not a whole lot going on in terms of systems being won/ lost. The Coalition's impetus has been blunted somewhat by BoB's solid defence of NOL, indeed using 4 Titans online 23/7 (so I gather, not sure how realistic this is) under the cover of a cyno jammer. This means of course, that you have to use sub-capital ships to kill the titans. Which is of course possible, but not with the lag large fleets of ships causes. Also, no BSs can withstand 4 DDs, so losses would be very heavy.

Indeed, Goonswarm, who have a reputation of not taking the game too seriously have started moaning on the forums about Titans being overpowered. I was very surprised to see this, as I have not seen GS whine about anything in the game before. They may be joking, but I don't think so. BoB is of course making forum capital out of this, excuse the pun.

In other news, the North has just blown up into a massive war. I don't pretend to know what is going on up there, but apparently enough that Morsus Mihi have pulled out of Delve and gone back to help an ally.

And if that wasn't enough, there is a second war there too, ably summed up by MC's Yalson:

"War number two is taking place in Perrigen Falls, where Atlas and Chaos Incarnate (CI), supported by Smash/Roadkill, have been fighting Intrepid Crossing, XIX and Ka-Tet. That went rather well until RA got involved, breaking the no-pos warfare pact and moved to attack CI's POS in 9IZ, a station system. Some CI POS got removed by about 25 RA capitals, but so far the tower count is still in CI's favor.

As expected, Smashkill reset standings to RA and it is now a free for all. Tons of politics involved, leading to this rather messy situation"

RA is a big beast, and I assume they can fight on two fronts, but I have a feeling that pilots who want pewpew would rather go fight in the North than against a dug in BoB.

War number three involves Triumvirate vs. Atlas Alliance. Tri actually dec'd Atlas, and seem to be having at them in Empire. More than that, no idea.

So, apart from that, the 5th Alliance Tourney is over, and props to Ev0ke for winning. We did well, got to the quarter finals and lost to Tri in what was arguably the best match of the tournie, swinging one way, then the other. Props to TJ and team, and indeed to the Tri team. Oh and Tri decided to comedy wardec KIA due to comments Eddz made on EveTV. As we are all in PB still, this didn't really affect anyone, but it was more for effect than practical purposes I'm sure.

And now, everyone is holding their breath over the next few days as to what the future holds... couple of alliance ops last night and tonight, and then we'll see what direction we're going in...

Finally, Trinity Patch 1.1 is being deployed as I write this. There are a whole raft of fixes, a few changes (nothing for Minnies to get excited about sadly) such as undocking now pushing you out at a random angle at full speed, and corpses now having boobs. Yes, female corpses. LOL.
