One Shots: One among many
The one thing that really differentiates EVE Online from many other MMOs out there is the depth of control that players have over sectors and all the machinations that go on daily in the universe of New Eden. You never know when friend will become foe; when trusted ally will become ultimate enemy. Today's great EVE Online One Shots was sent in to us by Kel'taith of Eve Defence Force, who tells us of a recent operation he was part of. Recently Goonswarm and Zenith Affinity, the largest alliance (and their "pet") in EVE invaded my alliance Systematic-Chaos. We have had hostile relations for quite some time so war was a easily foreseeable outcome. Lucky for us we are a well liked alliance and have many allies. This screen-shot was taken in A1-AUH during a operation to rid us of all of Goonswarm and Zenith POSes in one go. The result was a combined fleet of 900 at its height, almost 300 of which were massive capital and super-capital ships. Twenty enemy POSes were killed that night, and many are calling this the largest fleet of capital ships ever seen. You can see my tiny interceptor that was used as the warp in for this fleet of carriers. With cooperation, proper tactics, and loyalty towards allies you can achieve anything in this game.We love to hear of cool things like this! So if you're part of a battle, please snag some screens and send them our way. Email them to oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description. We'll post them out here for everyone to enjoy -- but we take no responsibility when someone decides to wardec you. %Gallery-9798%
One Shots: Time to move on
When you talk to EVE Online players, they always stress to you how important it is to get into a corp. While it's true that you can run around solo, the game really opens up when you have the ability to get in with a group who are able to do all that the game really allows for. Today's One Shots comes to us from Kel'taith of Eve Defence Force, who writes in to explain this corp image. A renter (The Cartel Syndicate), also known as a "pet" in EVE Online refused to pay rent for the space they owned and told our alliance that we couldn't break their sovereignty. In about four hours we put every tower they owned into reinforced mode and downed every cyno jammer they had. They surrendered shortly afterwards and have a week to evacuate their remaining assets from the region. While they only owned eight systems this shows the force that a power block can bring to a fight (as this was only a small "wing" of the fleet), and the cooperation that is required to field an effective force and run a stable alliance.Want to show off something your corp, guild, gang of friends, you and your BFF did? Just snag a screenshot of it and send it to us here at oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a brief description. We'll post it out here for others to check out and give you the nod. %Gallery-9798%
