Show Notes:  

• • Battle at X47L-Q Keepstar – NC staging
    • • Recap of last week – Northern Forces lost 28 titans(including a Vanquisher) to Imperium’s 24 (including a molok) and several faction super carriers as Imperium reinforced NC.’s keepstar. 
      • Final timer saw Pandemic Legion moving up through the south through Geminate and TEST moving to stage in the Imperium Keepstar in 6RC in Cloud Ring. 
      • Imperium Legacy titans jumped in system first to set up to start firing on the Keepstar with long range guns. The North jumped in second to get inside range of the titans to start a volley of DDs. DDOS of the server meant that Northern titans had trouble reconnecting easily after the disconnect of jumping after all the Imperium titans had loaded grid. Not having the volley power, the North lost 20 titans as they couldn’t set up properly and were losing significantly to the Imperium titans. Killahbee ordered retreat at the sixth titan loss but they lost 14 more through a combination of lengthy reconnects and Snuff HICs infinite pointing titans that were not tethered so they couldnt jump or dock. The keepstar took 5 hours to kill from start of the timer to destruction.
