Monday 2nd March:
TRI Deathstar in H-pa was timed to come out EU prime time (19:00) and so TRI formed up with Snipe Bs + Support in H-pa (1 Known Titan, 40 bs 10 support ~). NC converged on d7- with 60 caps ~ + 250 ~ BS & Support.
Fighting Started with Nc lighting a cyno at a SS in h-pa and bridging in there fleet. Tri quickly got a snipe spot on them and started shooting away, dictors warped into the cyno and dropped bubbles so 90% of NC was bubbled. We scored a few kills but were forced to warp out with NC support getting on top of us. 30 Nc had been spotted one jump out in p-f aswell so i warped us out to a snipe spot on that gate and we got another few kills before again being forced out. We regrouped at our pos and looked to see what the hostiles were going to do.
They popped the large bubbles on the 9-2 & P-F gates and then jumped out to 9-2. They popped a WN pos coming out of rf'd in 9-2 (didn't know anything about it till the caps cyno'd in). NC regrouped there caps at the freindly tower in 9-2 and brought there support all to the h-pa gate @ 0km. We still had 1 titan in local to NC's knowledge so we expected them to jump in stages, but nope scout shouts local spiking and the entire NC gang jumped in. Bs were called to warp in to our cov-ops 160km below the gate and another cov-ops dropped a cyno 120km above the gate. Suprise titan n#2 cyno'd in and DD'D. At the same time our titan in system uncloaked and warped in to another cov-ops 200km above gate. Our cloaked dictors had warped down to the gate and bubbled all of NC there alogn with a couple of our HICS.
First DD went off only hitting NC but titan n#2 somehow was in range of our Sniping Bs below the gate (120 + 160 = 280 but they must have been both angled slightly so we were within the 250km DD range. DD went off killing 99% of NC's 250 support (correct me if i'm wrong) and Popped about 20 Tri (10-15 Bs ~ + few support). Major screw up on my part and serious sad 2 seconds on TS working out what had happened.
We quickly Bounced back and got people to rush to station before it got camped and switch out to new ships (Snipe Bs/Snipe Hacs & Dictors). NC Caps (40 dreads, 20 carriers) had cyno'd in at the same time as there support had jumped in and they were reported bubbled on p3 with White Noise engaging them (WN were neutral to TRI + NC and they had 40 RR Bs, 7 Gaurdians + 10 Support ~). We came in at snipe range wit what we had left (not as many bs but nums slightly up due to peeps logging in) and started sniping away at caps. We popped a carrier off their group but couldn't break the remote reps of their 20 carriers and with WN warping in on TRI Bs and killing our support we were forced to warp out, leaving NC to cyno out or warp out to their pos.
A brief lul (sp?) in the fighting and people were told to keep repping the pos (which had been out for about 1hr now) with their basilisk/scimi alts. Pos shields were at 42% when NC caps warped back in with only 20 of their support in system, ballsy move so props. They entered siege and started metling the pos. We went to a snipe spot and picked a naglfar (Velios) and started shooting him with all the pos guns manned and our 50 or so support at this point. He went down as the pos hit armor and so we switched to another Naglfar but couldn't pop him before the pos went down and so we didn't have the dps at this point to pop them. NC support warped in again on top of us and we warped out & in loosing 1 BS and killing a few support.

At this point the WN leader logged in and so i popped him a quick convo and explained NC caps were tackled and did he want a temp blue to pop em. Wn quickly formed up and we set standings and they arrived about 10mins later in H-PA (i think they'd gone back during the lul to there HQ 7 from h-pa). By this time alot of NC caps had gotten off the field with about 10 carriers + 2-3 dreads still on the field. We popped another dread in siege and then went to work trying to pop any cap we could. We switched fire about and co-ordinated through a convo with WN but NC kept cynoing in more Caps (cyno carrier) and also avoided our bubbles off to their pos and had some really nice RR cirlce we couldn't break. We were at this for a couple of hours and managed to pop 4 more Carriers and 3 more Dreads but in the end the RRs prooved too much and NC cyno'd/warped out.

Overall it was a solid 4 hours or so worth of fighting and i think i may have missed a few bits and pieces but that gives you a good general overview of what happened, gf NC + WN.
