I wouldn't bother shedding a tear for them, they weren't crying when they were able to double their stront in kzf on a dozen POS's resulting in back to back reinforcement. They didn't cry all of the times where their fleet jumping in was able to gain the tactical advantage after a node crash. And they sure as hell weren't crying when they were shooting ships through POS shields while being told to stop by GMs.
Here's 2 details LV still apparently can't figure out: The 200 man goon gang logged out IN JV1V, the 70 goon/ra/tcf/snigg capitals that would have been in the system anyway.
In ideal conditions with the node NOT crashing, our 200 man fleet would have had a field day warping in on their "invincible" sniper fleet. Their support was all in the bubbles and wouldn't have been able to help at all. We had destroyed 40-60+ carrier fighters in the "Decisive LV Fleet Victory" (tm), which was actually a suicide op because goons have ADD. On jump in, unless Chow wants to instagib 200+ friendlies on the gate, we'd have plenty of time to kill the bubbles. As a last ditch effort maybe chow gets lucky with a DD and kills a hundred cruisers/frigs and a handful of untanked BS's. Who cares, IAC/Snigg/CA hadn't even gotten in to join the party yet. Then they'd just bitch and moan because their shield transfer carrier blob is getting raped by a capital force twice their size and it was all due to lag anyway.
