The one thing that really differentiates EVE Online from many other MMOs out there is the depth of control that players have over sectors and all the machinations that go on daily in the universe of New Eden. You never know when friend will become foe; when trusted ally will become ultimate enemy. Today's great EVE Online One Shots was sent in to us by Kel'taith of Eve Defence Force, who tells us of a recent operation he was part of.
Recently Goonswarm and Zenith Affinity, the largest alliance (and their "pet") in EVE invaded my alliance Systematic-Chaos. We have had hostile relations for quite some time so war was a easily foreseeable outcome. Lucky for us we are a well liked alliance and have many allies. This screen-shot was taken in A1-AUH during a operation to rid us of all of Goonswarm and Zenith POSes in one go. The result was a combined fleet of 900 at its height, almost 300 of which were massive capital and super-capital ships. Twenty enemy POSes were killed that night, and many are calling this the largest fleet of capital ships ever seen. You can see my tiny interceptor that was used as the warp in for this fleet of carriers. With cooperation, proper tactics, and loyalty towards allies you can achieve anything in this game.
We love to hear of cool things like this! So if you're part of a battle, please snag some screens and send them our way. Email them to oneshots AT massively DOT com along with your name, the name of the game, and a description. We'll post them out here for everyone to enjoy -- but we take no responsibility when someone decides to wardec you.

I was there(with Atlas) and it was sight. Nothing like seeing 300+ dreads all shooting one POS. And its funny how GoonSwarm and all their ally's couldnt do squat. Sure they had their pesky bomber sqds about, but it obvious that they just dont have the participation anymore. Cant wait to move them out of delve come dominion...see you on the battlefield

I dont think they are dying. Goons usually relied on allies(as most do in eve) to save their arse and they have been so comfortable in Delve, they really havent had to much reason to demand high participation. I do however, have a feeling they will get on the BAT phone and call PL and then the NC if they start loosing space and thats when this will get interesting. Its nice that band of brothers is back(rebranded IT alliance) and if all gooes well, the SE coalition will easily be able to unseat goons, even with the likes of the NC and PL.

Player-Owned Starbase - basically just a set of structures anchored in space including a control tower, hangar, possibly manufacturing stuff, storage, turret defences.
They aren't full "Space Stations", those are NPC-controlled only.
