They fucked it up so bad.

Frontier TV final battle.

Also some of the battles that actually happened in EVE. That shit is crazy.

Every battle in logh ever

LOGH tactics were really a piece of crap.

But at least they tried to pretend that they do something logical instead of retarded "charge at them head-on" crap almost all other sci-fi series do.

Seriously, Frontier battles were so much better when it comes to tactics. Like that episode with Vajra mini queen that lured the defense fleet with one strike force to jump behind Frontier mid-battle with the main force.

Something that simple is beyond most writers and that's pretty sad.

The Gryps conflict

I liked the ELS battle at the end of 00. Very well choreographed considering the scale (and surprisingly well-animated beamspam).

Most people do the horrible mistake of slowly taking it the easy way doing highsec crap. You can jump to null in second day of trial if you want.

Just watch some guides.

Never enough. Though when the game warps to the next level any hijacked ships don't group up by type. Instead they queue one by one to side. About 40ish hijacked frigates and cruisers they start to go off map.

>>13458788

Smartbombs spread a cloud of nanomachines that wreck shit around you. AoE nova basically.

Almost completely useless normally because of super close range. But these guys catch jumping fleets in anti-warp bubbles so they are ripped out of warp exactly where they want them. And at that spot a fleet of AoE battleships is waiting.

Super hard to execute. But when you do it it can murder entire fleets in seconds.

Complete lies. You have to invest years of play time before you'll see anything near this level and even then it will be at fucking 5 FPS at best.

EVE is shit if you didn't start when it first came out.

>>13458862

This is about battles not the game.

And what you say is actually not true anymore. There are big newbie corps backed by powerful null alliances now. You can jump into big null battles in 2 months. Or FW in weeks.

How many ships do you need for it to be considered a battle and not just a dogfight or whatever?

Not hard when the battleships are super obsolescent - the Salamis class in the OYW war is great example it's more than a decade old when war breaks out, and it continues to soldier on for ANOTHER 70 YEARS.

Most of the time state of art ships do pretty well.

>>13458788
Cloaked spies sit off a jump-gate and watch for which exit a fleet has warped towards. They report that the fleet is heading towards another spy camping at that exit. That spy then deploys some kind of warp interdiction device to drop the fleet in the wrong spot where a beacon has been setup. A super capital in some other star-system then launches a battleship fleet to the beacon where they then start to pulse AOE weapons. The formerly boring system that was just being traversed now has a dozen hostiles just in front of the exit. The weapons are turn off after the last of the escape pods are destroyed and the ambushers start looking for nice loot in the wreckage.

Honestly? Operation Peacemaker, from SEED.

A Baoa Qu and Operation Maelstrom are tied for a very close second, but the final battle in SEED was tense as fuck.

It's not the best, but Operation: Heaven's Gate in Majestic Prince was pretty good.

The buildup with them trying to get Earth's military forces to agree and how everyone was at their A-Game was great.
Shit got done
Enemies were taken out
Actually good tactics were used on both sides and things were always changing

>Operation Peacemaker, from SEED.

How? It was beamspam over beamspam, with idiotic genocide antics coming from BOTH sides of the war, and only the special snowflake protagonists being good and righteous. And to top the whole shit sandwich, Lacus giving stupid speeches. From the first time I watched SEED, one of the things that irked me the most about the whole finale was that Patrick Zala was murdered by some random adjutant. It seems *someone* was too scared to make Athrun a parricide.

You want tense, motherfucker? A Baoa Qu in The Origin. You really feel like the fate of the Earth Federation hangs in the balance.

>>13478543
I know, I've played a fair share of them and it's really no worse than any group where people are passionate about something. Finding a group that's moderately competent, online at semi-regular times, and doesn't implode long term is still a bitch and a half, though.

>>13478766
>Both sides are actively trying to exterminate the other, not just win the battle

To add to the other posts, a pipebomb is only possible due to the ability to put out a single damage type from the smartbombs, which the battleship group can all tank no problem (smartbombs are friendly-fire).

Bittenfield being fine with a straight battle of attrition was probably the best the empire could do.

Patrick Zala was shot by 'some random adjutant' to mirror Azrael's fate of going so far across the line and turning on his subordinates when they try to bring them back to a vaguely sane position (and have them turn on him in course leaving both of them dead). It had to be from someone already in ZAFT and hence Arthran was discounted, I don't know why they went for his adjutant over Ezalia but I guess they didn't want her dead for whatever reason and there wasn't anyone else on ZAFT that we knew who was left.
