Battle reports: EVE Player Cinematics

Battle Recap:
After yet another round of “you warp first, no you warp first,” Goons decided to cut the foreplay and head straight into Horde space - with a small fleet, zero subtlety, and just enough overconfidence to make it interesting.

They sliced through enemy lines, deleted a gate like it owed them money, and casually strolled into system… Right into a cyno. On the Keepstar. Because of course.

Suddenly, it’s a party. Hundreds of pilots. Panicked comms. Capitals hovering overhead like disappointed parents at a talent show. Shots were fired. Ships exploded.

Goons made a mess - and then became the mess. Final message? “You can run, you can tether… but we’ll still find you. And probably die trying.”

battle summary:
After their first clash with Initiative, Sigma returned with a Kikimora fleet for round two. Their goal was clear: strike deep into enemy space and secure a decisive victory, hoping to earn billions in kills like last time.

The fleet maneuvered through wormholes but was slowed at every turn by bubbles, forcing difficult progress. Ships were even swapped mid-flight, and unexpected NPC interference added to the chaos.

Upon reaching their target, Sigma engaged Initiative head-on. At first, the fight seemed to favor them. But when dreadnoughts arrived and capitals took control of the grid, the tide shifted instantly. Sigma fought hard, but the outcome was not the victory they had hoped for.

Instead, the battle became another reminder of the cost of challenging overwhelming firepower. In the end, both sides had an engaging battle where they all went home with a story to tell.

This is a cinematic battle report on the AO keepstars fall. It does a fast pace briefing on what happened, with the summary of the final battle - followed by a cinematic showcase of the ships and the structures destruction. (reporting might not be fully accurate, so enjoy the visuals)

I will provide links to the battle reports and the killmail.

Providence became the stage for a prolonged campaign of destruction.

Initiative swept into the region, striking relentlessly, flipping skyhooks, and forcing Absolute Order’s Keepstar into reinforcement.

The days that followed brought relentless fighting — carriers sacrificed, battleship lines broken, fleets scattered across the field. The armor timer ended in chaos as Initiative forced the Keepstar into its final stage with only seconds remaining.

The last timer drew the attention of all New Eden.

CCP promoted the event, The Scope hovered on scene, and streamers broadcast it live. Local surged past 3,700 as capitals cynoed in and fleets moved into place. Time dilation locked the system at 10%, dragging the battle into an endurance test that stretched for hours.

When it was over, the Keepstar fell.

Its destruction was long, drawn out frame by frame, but inevitable.

Across the days of fighting, including the final killmail, Providence suffered losses exceeding 778.9 billion ISK.

The keepstar is taking forever to load up on the BR as of writing this, but the tally does go up to 778 Billion from the last 3 days of fighting at the keep.

battle summary:

A small Goon fleet moved to engage a Rorqual - What began as a routine hunt escalated quickly when Pandemic Horde dropped dreadnoughts onto the grid to defend their ally.

But the system was under the influence of a storm. This environmental effect disrupted weapon tracking, crippled explosion radius, and broke application across the field. The capitals fired volley after volley, yet their shots went wide as Ruptures swarmed through bubbles, striking back like a nest of bees that had been disturbed.

The fight turned into a battle of endurance, but the storm dictated the outcome. With their weapons made ineffective, the dreadnoughts were overwhelmed and destroyed. Although the goons were wiped out, the capitals didn’t fall to enemy firepower alone - they fell to the system itself.

edit: turns it the dreads were a ‘birthday roam’ and we seemed to have run right into it

This video is brought to you by delays, due to me being occupied with the EVE Tournament. I’ve been unable to attend to some big pings, resulting in almost 1 trillion ISK loss in battles - some being over 500B in losses. RIP

Another “peaceful” day in New Eden turned into three chaotic battles. First, Sigma’s Navy Issues - with Goons at their side. They clashed against Initiative’s Ferox fleet. On paper, Sigma had the numbers, but Initiative still walked away with the win (technically), leaving a trail of wrecks scattered across the field.

Later, Goons decided to try a “new doctrine.” To some, it looked experimental. To others, it looked like someone’s forgotten stockpile of ships finally getting dusted off and they wanted to get rid of them. They went on a scenic tour through lowsec, bashing multiple structures while waiting for Horde to wake up. Finally, Horde showed up. The result? A long-range slugfest. No brawls, no glory, just volleys from a distance until Goons lost twice the ISK in their experiment.

Horde claimed the win on paper, but the real victory belonged to the pilots who had fun feeding, fighting, or simply watching it all explode. As a bonus, sigma and the initiative went for round 2 once again - like any other day for them.

Goonswarm deploys a Keepstar and Pandemic Horde answers with an endless swarm of frigates and cruisers. Time Dilation crashes to 10% as the field turns into a brutal 5 hour battle.

Capitals and titans hang useless above the grid while Horde throws wave after wave into the fight, only bringing small ships that can fit any kind of weapon.

For a time, Goons held the upper hand, losing 30B ISK against Horde’s 200B, slaughtering thousands of ships as they poured in. But during the battle, the keepstar ticked down to its last breath - with horde reshiping and not giving up.

Goons sound the retreat, removing capitals from the system - but panic strikes. A Hel jumps into Horde’s fleet, jumping to the wrong cyno or just feeling brave - and is doomsdayed on the spot - a mistake that shifts the battle.

When the dust settled, more than 7,000 ships lie in wreckage. 6,600 of them are Horde’s, and in the end, the Keepstar falls.

This is Warlock Industries - providing cinematic footage, mildly-accurate reporting, and front-row seats to the swarm.

  • September 13th Fleet Recap
  • Sov Flips, Shuttle Doctrines, and Capital Overkill

Summary:
So, the Imperium rolled out to flip some sov. Classic paint-drying content: shoot structures, set timers, repeat.
Pandemic Horde’s opening move? A Gallente shuttle. Yes, a shuttle doctrine. Sleek, stylish, and completely useless. Both sides off to a strong start.

As the sov flips wrapped, Goons moved on to structure bashes, picking off stragglers here and there. Eventually Horde decided to reship into an actual doctrine, and the grid started to heat up with small skirmishes. They take the victory.

At one point the battle drifted to a nearby star, where an Astrahus burned like someone parked it there for a front row seat to a suntan. Pretty, yes. Strategic? Not so much. Skirmishes spilled into another system soon after.

Then INIT appeared. They poked at capitals, probably expecting a slap on the wrist. Instead, the Imperium dropped the hammer - an absurdly overkill capital response. Carriers, dreads, everything. They turned “poke the bear” into “release the entire zoo.”

And because no fleet night is complete without it, there was even an ESS fight on top. Picture PvP inside a space ATM, with both sides brawling for pocket change.

No clear winners, no clear losers. Everyone thinks they won, everyone thinks the other side lost. In reality, the only real prize was content - and we got plenty of that.

This is warlock industries, providing cinematic battles and mildly accurate reporting.

So I finally got around to making another battle report. The first fight had us showing up late - only to find the field already littered with capitals everywhere. It looked like a salvager’s dream, dreadnaughts scattered, and I honestly have no idea how so many of them died that quickly. If anybody knows the backstory there, please drop it in the comments, because I’m still confused.

We third-partied the mess, scooped some killmails, grabbed cinematic footage, and extracted clean. During our extraction, we overkilled a response fleet to save a rorqual since it was on the way.

BR: Battle Report Tool

Days later, it began with one of our members, who had some rough family news, deciding to sponsor a fleet, giving out cruisers and bringing his Phoenix to the fight and blow off some steam. Naturally, I decided to support him in the least practical way possible - by fielding a Revelation Navy Issue, stuffed with CONCORD fittings and backed by a pod that would make most people question me.

We warped into G-Q, anchored right in Horde’s ESS, and then we waited. And waited. And waited. A few people warped in and died, but seems like they were nervous if it was bait or not.

Eventually the enemy trickled in, and then the full fleet of battleships landed, and the fight erupted. They battled with our subcaps for abit until they died, and thats when the Phoenix went down first. Drained its cap and destroyed it faster than a newbro exploring low-sec. Then they came for me.

I was holding out pretty well, repping the damage and surviving, but with the riveting and exciting gameplay mechanics, they drained all my cap and I couldn’t do anything. Somehow a titan was on grid and I missed it in the footage. They tried to snipe the kill from everyone with its Doomsday weapon but failed, and eventually I was destroyed. Soon after, my pod was wiped and I was not able to capture my own explosion.

So yeah, billions were fed, footage was lost, but the content was worth it. Cinematics, killmails, and questionable decision-making - all wrapped up in one, and we can’t wait to do it again.

Ahbazon has officially gone mobile.

What started as a meme fleet turned into a full-on mess across nearby systems. panic pings, structure bashes, and the usual blueballs.

Some showed up, most didn’t, and chaos did the rest.

As always, I try to add accurate information, but sometimes i’m wrong. So please enjoy the cinematics of this fight and lets hope that next time people won’t be stood up

We took a fleet deep into Pochven, one of the most dangerous regions in New Eden. the NPC’s here are worth worrying about, Wormholes shift constantly, exits collapse without warning, and anyone who isn’t paying attention doesn’t come back. Alot of people died from even the simplest commands of trying to warp out

This particular day was about two “grandfather” structures, some of the last of their kind. These are rare because you can no longer place structures in Pochven, so their numbers are dwindling. At least that’s what I know. I don’t really venture out into pochven so I don’t know the full scope of it or how it works

There was 2 stories to this:

1) The people living here had trouble blowing up other players structures, so they bought out these ones to destroy themselves

2) They bought the structures to continue the freeport, but someone double crossed and shut off the clone bays and restricting access, leaving the structure vulnerable to be destroyed - with its loot up for grabs

I don’t know the full story. I just know that when we showed up and blew up the structure, Cargo containers littered the grid, trillions in loot scattered, and pilots who warped in with shuttles somehow left flying Marauders. It turned into a full-blown feeding frenzy. Rare abyssal rolled items dropped, billions in ships were littered everywhere and even tech 2 BPO’s were apparently in the containers

During the looting, ships were getting picked off one by one, and others were chased through the systems. The order was strict: stay quiet, don’t talk in local, and don’t shoot unless told. Every move had to be calculated, because one mistake meant vanishing off the grid entirely, and that’s what happened to alot of pilots.

It was fun, it was a rare moment and it was definitely cinematic. I love the aesthetic of pochven, it was my first time there. I hope you enjoy the video and the visuals, I’ve linked the BR’s and KM’s at the bottom
