The intricacies of the game and its economy mean that dedicated players can invest in titanic capital starships with real-world value upwards of thousands of dollars. These massive ships ally with player factions that are massive enough to simulate real-world political forces, and a lot of players are willing to devote their time and loyalty to the cause. Back in October, the game broke two records for online PvP conflict.
The fourteen hour engagement took the Guinness World Record for largest number of participants at 8, players and the record for peak concurrent participants at 6, unique characters. Now the online space simulator is breaking even more records following the recent Massacre of M2-XFE. Titans are the largest type of spaceship in the game, and are known for sporting devastatingly powerful Doomsday Device weapons.
These unprecedented losses resulted in People who aren't familiar with EVE Online will likely balk at the cataclysmic cost of this battle, but this is really the heart of what EVE Online is all about.
That said, there's something mind-boggling about watching 3, players duke it out over virtual territory in a videogame. And that's exactly what's happening right now. This battle is just one in several major clashes over the past few months as part of EVE's latest war. Through a complex series of strategic alliances and events, the various player-driven empires of EVE Online have slowly congregated on one of two sides, effectively dividing the entire galaxy between north and south.
But, for the first time in years, both of these sides are of roughly equal power and both seem absolutely invested in kicking the shit out of one another—as evidenced by the exorbitant value of the ships committed to the battlefield.
As of the time this story was published 35 titans from both sides had been destroyed with the defenders of Northern Coalition, Pandemic Legion, and allies the North losing 14 and The Imperium and their allies the South losing Right now, each side is trading volleys from their titans' ridiculously powerful 'doomsday weapons.
He explains that, right now, each side is taking turns slowly picking off titans one at a time. To win, The Imperium and its allies will need to keep trading for kills.
While I was writing this story, The Imperium managed to deal enough damage to the Keepstar to "win the objective. Due to the complex nature of EVE Online's rules, the Keepstar won't be completely obliterated in this battle but will be put into a final reinforcement stage where, in nearly a week's time, it'll become vulnerable for a final assault.
Northern Coalition and its allies don't want that, however, as this Keepstar serves as an incredibly valuable staging system. Though the main objective of the battle is won, both sides are sticking around to try to deal as much damage as possible to the enemy fleet. I am told by sources on both sides of the conflict that The Imperium likely has an industrial advantage and can easily replace their losses, but neither side wants to suffer serious damage because the Battle of X47L-Q is just the beginning of this war.
For the first time in years, both of these sides are of roughly equal power and both seem absolutely invested in kicking the shit out of one another. This battle will continue for many more hours and unstable servers mean it could still be anyone's victory even if The Imperium has already won the main objective.
But the consequences of this conflict will be felt months into the future. Reading the thread title I was expecting a light bulb joke about how many titans are needed to switch a light bulb. They probably have more. CFC probably also has a lot more. The picture only shows titans active in combat according to Zkill, as said. Last solid number was 6, and it was some years ago. Because no matter how many noobs in titans goons have, PL at least in theory still has the most experienced cap and super pilots in the game.
How many Titans? Then the North needs a 3 to 2 Titan kill ratio and then to replenish as fast to break even.
