Once again,nothing in Eve is invulnerable. By your own alliance's admission you certainly have the ISK to counter the Titan blob, so one can only assume you lack the proper reproductive organs to do the job.

Ah yes. The expected response.
Yes, at the strategic level - as in using different means to achieve political goals - Goonswarm does indeed have shrewd strategists, and has shown so on different occasions. Collapsing you enemy from within, as it were, no doubt thanks to several conveniently placed agents which can read signs and identify targets for subversive activities. At the political-strategic level, Goonswarm has indeed shown skill. But these activities arenGÇÖt really within the realm of military (warfighting) strategy, vital though it has been to bring down both BoB and IT.
As for the "blitzkrieg" (a military strategy) reference: No. You havenGÇÖt really done that - at least to my knowledge. What you HAVE done is exploiting political weakness and internal turmoil to advance rapidly. But Blitzkrieg does not equal rapid advance, even if it may appear so. The term is a German phrase used (these days) mainly to describe campaigns that instead of facing the enemy head-on (direct approach) will attack critical weaknesses while avoiding strengths, collapsing the enemy force like a house of cards (indirect approach). If you want a textbook indirect approach style campaign, you can take a look at PLs campaign against the NC in the opening stages of the DRF/NC war.
Goonswarm is in many ways an excellent tactical level married to very shrewd political strategy - which includes metagaming all the way up to the CSM to get what you want. What you have for a military strategy however, is not top notch in EVE. Not by a longshot. |

blitzkrieg = lightning war.
We hit them in strategic spots to cut up their space, stop the supply of ships, trap their capitals, and remove key station services. Key money making towers were then hit and taken down along with ratting stations and we captured two key systems which allowed access to all of their space.
But I suppose this too is not what you are looking for? |

Thank you, Captain obvious. I am very familiar with the term, what its direct translation from German means, its historical roots in the trenches of the First World War, the German experiments with shock troops in 1918, its different interpretations by German, Soviet, British, French, German and US militaries during and after the Second World War, its renaissance in the US in the 1970s, its pivotal role in developing the original US Air-Land Battle doctrine and its current application in most western armed forces warfighting doctrines as of 2012.
And, I am sorry to say, It is not simply a matter of speed. |

For the benefit of us dumb goonies why don't you spell out your master plan for beating a massed blob of 50 titans. You don't have to give away specifics (we probably couldn't understand them) but just a general overview of what you think would be effective. The artist formerly known as Ladie Scarlet. |

While they aren't really 3k man blobs, baltec1 doesn't want to talk about what happens to smaller alliances versus the 500 man southern block fleets or the 1000 man drake fleets the CFC fields. Its called ignoring a vital part of the argument because it doesn't fit his defense. At least currently a modertate new sized alliance could focus on running incursions while building a super fleet, that would allow it to breach a 0.0 region and deal with a 1000 man blob in theory, baltec1 doesn't like this idea, he wants numbers to mean everything, and that, in turn, snuffs all new life out of 0.0. The blob never stopped the MC, BoB, NC, Dronelands, Goons, Test, Atlas, IRC, ASCN, Tri, Red Alliance, CO2, CVA andall of the others from losing a campain or even their entire existence. (Every single one of these have had the same thing about unstoppable blobs said about them in my time) White Noise and NC had a shitload of (unnerfed) supers as well. It didn't safe them... so what exactly is your argument? |

Capital pilots are a minority and simply adding more caps means the huge bulk that cant fly them are reduced to nothing more than a meat sheild.
It also means that the big 4 will simply blob them up so that not only do they have the titans to wipe out anything a small alliance could bring but would also mean they wouldnt attack eachother. Result? The same stagnation we saw with the supercarriers for a year and a half before the NC folded only this time, nobody will be stupid enough to sell capitals to the enemy.
If we go with EAF however every alliance can take part, newer players are made important for a fleet which is good for them and we avoid our virsion of the coldwar stockpiling of nukes that will never get used for fear of getting nuked themselves. The other upside being that currently useless ships become wanted.
You keep talking about how bad titans are against small allianses.... but not talking about how bad a blob of goons & co are against the same ppl.... Just say it.... Supers are in your way for nullsec dominance Because blobs of subcaps have never been unbeatable. If you knew your history you would know this. How can one beat a subcap blob without having another subcap blob? (Hint: Small alliances don't have subcap blobs) |

wait are you trying to say that super fleet loged off, you know the unkillable fleet the over powered fleet had to log off cos it couldn't win.
this can't be it must be a lie why would they need to log off if they can't be killed when there is a group of them.

Supercarriers are not titans. and thanks to the log off fix they now have to either stay there and die or as many of these did, self destruct.
