One of the largest potential future employers is about to get annihilated off the map entirely. After TEST that would leave only two major power houses left I think on the entire galaxy. Unless Goonswarm fracture that may get reduced to one eventually and well one guy with no enemies means none of you get hired by them to take over anything by the time we get let loose in player empire territory.
And that is why you should start caring now. |

Unless they do the smart thing and let us essentially play pirate and go about wrecking things for ***** and giggle to stir things up Pandering to much to the EVE playerbase, which has a ton of care bears judging by how they react to not constantly having an advantage, will suck what little fun there is to be had out of Dust completely
If Test didn't have an advantage they would not have committed to the fight anyways. |

I just love the simple fact the entire thing is unscripted. Nobody forced CFC or Test former best friends to get into a fight like this. |

Common knowledge that this was intended to be the final charge in a hopeless fight to save Fountain. Because it was hopeless. But they formed up anyway. A lot of times people don't commit without the advantage, but this time they did. "Today we fought in 6VDT. We didnGÇÖt fight to save the station, we didnGÇÖt fight to win an ISK war, and we didnGÇÖt fight to turn the war around... We fought because TEST stands together in the face of certain, guaranteed death. I wanted to give Fountain one HELL of a sendoff, and it's incredibly appropriate that it took place in our home system of 2+ years. " - http://themittani.com/news/post-6vdt-test-state-allianceAnd yes this is a post-loss quote, but they went into the fight with the same attitude pretty much.
I was referring and replying to the earlier quote though

Its WOW in space the way battles play out.
Ohhh lets sit here for 3 hours exchanging fire while i scratch my neck beard!! super fun!. You sound as if something in life is bothering you. Would you like to... talk.... about it? EVE is too hard for him, therefore the common response is fear followed by rage at things that are different and/or incomprehensible. I haven't personally played myself, but it just seems like "click and watch" to me. If eve wasn't so unique, I doubt anyone would play
Its click and watch where you have a choice of 15,000 different modules, 500 different kinds of ships on your end and your enemies are just as limited to the same sort of choices, which results in nearly massive non-infinite number of combinations any number of sides could have show up to this fight in. Luckily only 2 showed up this could have been a four or three way. Fleet Doctrines, logistics, months of planning finally getting executed.
The Fall of Fountain was a massive undertaking overall by an extraordinarily large number of players of all sorts making it this event possible. Like a well executed raid with no known possible outcomes or known phases of the fight all of it unknown. |

While technically eve doesn't use tab target nor does it play as such I can see where it comes from. |
