Last night "Rebel" Forces led a fleet of 15 to show up and provide Orbital Support for Top Men. It wasn't long before DNS arrived in system with 4 pilots who quickly left the system realizing they couldn't do anything.

What this actually means:
Despite DNS's HUGE EVE side which is often a bragging point for most alliances with an EVE side. DNS Simply can't convince their pilots to show up in Molden Heath.

This could be an underlying problem with CCP not having good enough incentives for people to partake in these battles, but I believe the problem resonates from a deeper issue. It takes a special type of EVE player to legitimately care about DUST, DNS has a few, most of them are former members of RA, but for the most part, DNS Pilots just don't care about DUST, and why should they. There is no fun one shooting a destroyer, or watching a warp core stabilized destroyer warp away safely. There is no fun for the support fleet who shows up and doesn't drop any orbitals and waits on a quiet empty beacon because their enemy underestimated them and didn't show up with a proper force.

While the actual battle was lost by Top Men. (by no more than 15 or so clones) there was a victory in the sky, a victory that proved having a huge EVE side, is not the same as having an active EVE side that cares about DUST.

It has become apparent, that DNS as a whole doesn't care about DUST.

So fear not, coordinate with "Rebellion" leaders and they will ensure that DNS doesn't bug you guys during your match and if you have a pilot capable of dropping OB's we'll safe guard him too.

DNS may now begin their smack talk.

*Edit, I still have respect for the former RA EVE pilots. Hats off to what you do for your guys.

Yep and no matter how many DUST Bunnies you have you'll never get sov... see this works both ways...

I would have loved it MP2008, but a cyno wasn't dropped, logistics failed, and DNS continued to roam Curse for the majority of the day as implied by their killboards.

If you do happen to hotdrop the **** out of us with a huge DNS fleet, make sure you fraps it, send it to TheMittani.com so we can bring more attention to the non station/gate game PVP fun that is a PC battle.

Hypothetically speaking, having twice as many clones as a result of poor mechanics made by CCP doesn't mean your ground troops are good. Why the CPM hasn't called for a billion hotfixes on this is ridiculous.

They aren't paying enough attention. We'll keep escalating because we enjoy the fights. I was getting sick of me vs 5 dns pilots, having a fleet to help makes it fun, I expected DNS to bring way more, it doesn't look like they planned to cyno people, it looked like they brought 4 ships that were on their beacon and that's usually been the norm. ohwell

NEXT TIME GADGET, NEXT TIME. see you in oddeluff I think.

And having an EVE side run away and abandon you is still having them run away and abandon you, no matter what the reasons may be. Which brings the question, why did you join an EVE alliance if they were only going to run away? Why not stay in RA, MP2008 and eatsbabies would always fight me back then, what's the point in being in DNS as opposed to your old alliance?

I have a pretty good idea of what's going on, since I personally approached DNS Black and he gave the low down, and people in your alliance and my alliance are still friends, and people talk about your alliance just as they talk about mine. It happens.

*eats popcorn*

And believe me we didn't mistake 1 missed battle for a pattern, last time you guys only fought against me and a guy who went afk, this time I brought a 15 man fleet. Maybe next time it'll be just me vs 200 guys, maybe not.

Things are subject to change as always.

lol like DNS has any sway in EVE. If they even did become a problem eve side (which they probably wont because like you say most EVE players do not like dust) I am sure there are many other eve players that would like to kill DNS ships.

MP2008 can you see if any of your guys can fraps?

<--pretty much mad you brought 3 tech 2 logi ships, though it did save the coercer on my suicide attempt to kill it :P.

well this sure got the anal bead boys in a uproar lol
