First of all, this series is independent of the 'main' series like Clarion Call 3 and Ironclad, of which there will be more installments soon.
Instead, these battle reports will feature a more 'informal' setting. Usually it will marry fairly raw Fraps to an analysis of the fight in audio commentary.
Youtube Links:
VideoBR: Battle in Notoras * latest VideoBR: Faction Battleship Showdown
(720p and 1080p are available for all video reports)
I'll aim to release one every few weeks and each one will try and focus on a different kind of fight, or aspects that are interesting for different tactical reasons. The first one is uploaded to Link's account but mostly they'll be on the 'rooksandkings' account.
MKV Links:
Generally speaking, the videos will just be on Youtube. However, if a fight is particularly aesthetically pleasing, I will make a 1080p MKV/H264 download available. The Battle in Notoras is one such case. Even the 1080p setting on youtube doesn't really do justice to the scene of the battle, since the bit-rate can't keep up with the storm of lasers, explosions and rapid drone movement. You can get the MKV of Battle in Notoras here (700mb).
However, VLC users, please note: if you have an Nvidia card, you need to enable full dynamic range to view the video correctly (otherwise Youtube versions will be far superior anyway).
The link should show clearly which option to tick in the driver. Without doing this, the VLC/Nvidia combination will produce washed out colours and the black of space will be merely grey. This is because by default, VLC Player turns on "Use Hardware YUV->RGB Conversions", and the Nvidia driver does this with much of the colour range cut off until you change from limited to full dynamic colour range. It's a problem that affects almost all Eve mkvs to some degree and there is not presently enough awareness in the community about it.
Essentially, anyone with an Nvidia card and VLC player who does not either enable full dynamic range or turn off the VLC setting for "Use Hardware YUV>RGB" is watching their MKV with colours 0-15 and 236-255 missing.
Generally I recommend the combination of Media Player and the Combined Community Codec Pack for playback of Eve related MKVs.

For Zarlak and NightmareX:
Tracks for Battle in Notoras (and from the main battle, rather than the intro) are:
Love Eternal The Last Embrace (title track of the album of that name) Diadema
In that order.
Thanks for the kind words, too. |

Arcana is the band for all the tracks used in the video. Lots of versions on youtube, e.g. this one.

Videos like this remind me why I check My Eve.
Exemplary work as ever. Amongst the churning mass of hysteria and bile that has recently blanketed this game, your videos remain an inspiration.
Thanks for sharing them. |

It's linked in the original post just below the Notoras link. Sorry, I should make it a little clearer and number them for future.
Karah Serrigan wrote:May i ask what your computer specs are and what program you are using for recording?
The program is Fraps (3.2.5), although I may switch to using MSI Afterburner since I prefer the codec options it has (Fraps is often thought of as 'uncompressed' but in truth it's not). Keep in mind that using Afterburner will require the use a secondary program to record audio, if you plan on getting TS sound too.
Regarding the computer, my main PC is atm a Sandybridge 2600k @5.5Ghz on a gigabyte P67A UD7, with Tri-SLI 580s for graphics. Since it was some months ago I'm not 100% sure what machine I recorded that fight on, though it would have been a Sandybridge @5+ghz/UD7. I can check the dates if you want.
I notice you are from Team Liquid, of Starcraft goodness, and may be looking to extract the maximum performance from your rig in fleet battles. For what it's worth, my two cents on that: Eve is a totally cpu-limited game in fleet battles. Even a lot of effects that you might assume to be gpu-based, like brackets, are mainly stressing CPU.
I've benchmarked Eve in the past in fleet battles (don't have the link to hand, since the forums here have changed) and whereas in space flying around you might see 99% GPU usage and 50-60% cpu, once you are in a fleet battle with drone movement, brackets, effects, etc. you'll see 20-50% GPU usage (on powerful gpus) and 100% cpu all the time.
A lot of people seem to fly around in space, check gpu usage and upgrade graphics cards. That's a mistake - it's irrelevant whether you have 90 or 400 frames a second when just warping around, what matters is performance in large scale combat, where Eve is actually a great game to overclock for. I've benched the numbers carefully A single Geforce 570 should be sufficient to keep up with a Sandybridge 5.5Ghz in Eve at 1920x1080. The cpu will limit the framerate anyway - and even a top end Sandy will often be reduced to 30-40fps in heavy situations.
The reason I have three 580s overclocked is nothing to do with Eve - for a purely Eve player, that money would be much better spent on better cpu cooling and solid state drives (SSDs are a requirement for our triage pilots, for example). Eve is all about having the fastest core for core performance possible on CPU, i.e. a high revving cpu. By the same logic, you don't want a 990x (the six cores won't help you on the Python code) versus having a 2600k. And since Hyperthreading is useless for Eve too, I usually recommend people in my alliance to get the 2500k and overclock that, which is perfect price/performance ratio.
Sorry for the wall of text. I hope this is useful information and I can dig up those fleet battle benchmarks I made, if you like. I also benchmarked my Intel PC vs. my AMD pc while dualboxing both in the same fight, at one point.
Nice to see Team Liquid on Eve. My friend Archivian still makes popular maps that he releases on your forum, so I check there quite often.

What's the reasoning behind the need for SSD's for triage? Do they make that much of a difference in performance? Just curious about which aspects of performance that helps with.
And thank you for the excellent videos as well! |

An SSD gives you a faster gridload, making it much easier to keep the primaries up during the crucial first moments in a fight. Actually i think an SSD is a good investment for any eve pilot since it enhances your performance a lot more than a slight upgrade on any other component of your rig (given that SSDs are rather affordable nowadays). |

My friend Archivian still makes popular maps that he releases on your forum, so I check there quite often. That is indeed very helpful, thanks. I have a Sandybridge 2500k but i didn't overclock it. Unfortunately i have an ATI card which seems to have problems with multiboxing, but it runs fine with 2 clients on medium/high settings. I've set my fraps to limit recording to 30fps to decrease the bitrate, though i don't know if that also affects the performance negatively. I hadnt had the chance to play around with it too much lately. Going to turn a few brackets off for the next fight then and try it out.
And it's always nice to see people who like TL too :) |

Sir, PLEASE make this also available as a download ... I want to watch it over and over but I live in an ass-backwards country and pay per gigabyte ($4.50/gig) so it gets pretty costly to come back to this video day after day, which I'm doing. |

Outstanding Sir!
Love the calm and collected commentary over the movie.
Between R&K videos and Comboducks video I have divereted all of my training time to perfect my logistic skills.
May I ask that you link ALL of your videos here or in your signature somewhere?
I've got a few (and lost a few), but I want to make sure I have them all.
Best Regards

Hi,
you could use a download manager (like jdownloader) and get it from youtube.

Awesome video.
Many thanks to this and all the videos you guys have made. It inspires me to create a nobler, honorable New Eden.
P.S.
Would it be possible to get a MKV version of the "Faction Battleship Showdown"?
Thanks again to L.M. and to all who helped him make these great videos.
