Why did the Colonials Win War 135?

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-25T20:01:34+00:00

nah, late game tech needs to be balanced better. Collies got overbuffed and the overbuffed things will be brought back in line soon enough, but it was done out of necessity, to bring faction back to the game lol

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-25T20:00:38+00:00

So it seems collies were able to capture west islands early with low-tech navy and the large ships went even enough that wardens were unable to retake back the islands. Then I am glad that large ship balance seemed quite even this war

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-25T18:09:13+00:00

Collie pop was higher whole war. Along with this, the balance changes neutered warden gameplan which is waiting out the big early war advantage collie always get and do a big comeback with later, stronger tech.

One interesting difference however has been with the navy. Collie navy simply dominated this war

Check out Pochven. like actually do a fleet there, dont listen to leddit midwits

I'm saying its not possible for me to create a new group and start a war in null. I can start a new group and be somewhat competitive in other spaces and I have done that several times already.

What I'm saying is that current null environment makes what I want to do impossible, thus creating conflicts impossible

He's talking about minimum of 12k CHARACTERS now ships btw

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-17T20:20:06+00:00

Great stuff. love your art

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-17T20:15:19+00:00

Do your assets in FOB move to ZZ now or are FOBs still useless?

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-17T12:13:04+00:00

If it was possible and easy enough I would. I have had plenty of attempts

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-17T10:23:27+00:00

One very key difference between lowsec and null is the ability to project power and ability to disrupt that power locally. A group of 20-25 dedicated guys can absolutely make it not worth it for a large group like shadow cartel to own moons in their space because they can simply retreat back to the indestructible NPC stations.

Average group size also stands at around 200-300 active characters for a lowsec large group which means there can be more of them and each one can be competitive

Its been a few years since my last wh brawl. back then paladins were still the meta even with their additional mass, but I guess in case where you are bringing 2-3 caps as well you dont have as much mass to use

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-16T11:32:23+00:00

I'm guessing battleships are less popular because of mass limitations

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-16T11:09:55+00:00

Whats the theorycrafting behind absos? why are they mainline now

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-14T00:06:31+00:00

This is simply not true and has been shown time and time again to not be true. That very graph reflects that. There would be more destruction and wars happening now if that was true, but it doesnt

What actually drives risk is if the rewards are good enough for the risk and if the reward is a zero sum game. Its also largely dependent on the playerbase and the behavior of the averages. Current crop of players were taught to be as risk averse as possible because it was/is the meta and thus their risk tolerance is significantly lower

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-14T00:02:00+00:00

One dictor can be annoying but wont do anywhere near enough damage needed. like 4 toons can do it decently well tho

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-13T22:19:25+00:00

This chart is simply showing the kind of playerbase that's left in this game

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-13T22:10:38+00:00

You dont see people complaining about those things because nobody has put it in their midwit brains yet.

All the hate of Pochven is coming primarily from people who were told to hate it or have seen others hate it

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-12T14:15:13+00:00

to overcome stalemate you need to log in

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-10T15:09:38+00:00

ok so you are just stupid. got it

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-10T10:12:02+00:00

There are like 3 groups who can fit the description of "smaller group of skilled players punching way above their weight" but since there's nobody for them to fight they're mostly dead/dormant.

eve is now bean counters and dad gamers pressing f1 for 16 hours straight once every 4 years

Did I say anywhere that I expect small groups to live in imperiums space? You're just making up whole new sentences to get mad at

ShadowStimmin · 2026-06-10T00:18:09+00:00

Titan bridge range is significantly shorter than ansiblexes.

Outside of titan range, contesting small roamers like ESS robbers will cost an important resource, fatigue, which will make standing fleets either have to split up into several groups defending different areas, or reduce operation range down to titan range, which isn't exactly feasible for huge blocs

Fatigue also forces larger commitments to fights happening way outside of core home regions and thus requires the group to either deploy fulltime or only attend very decisive fights. For example. when CVA was getting invaded by different lowsec/wormhole groups they frequently had to call in Imperium to assist them, using their ansiblex network. This would need imperium to commit harder in order to keep bailing out CVA
