So much shit posting on here . Honestly I think both sides have been very innovative . One of the best things about the war is that TESTCO 2 and PanFam are writing the new meta . and it ' s still ongoing nobody in Eve really knows how powerful a defensive Keepstar is , but they ' re about to find out thanks to TESTCO 2 and PanFam . This war is everything WWB should have been but wasn ' t . Anyway , to lay it out CO 2 TEST have demonstrated that with Fozziesov you have to effect a strong multigrid game to win . In a pure subcap vs subcap fight that is still something CO 2 TEST are much stronger at than PanFam . CO 2 TEST have shown you can constrain supers in Fozziesov particularly through the use of cyno jammers . Ultimately PanFam were getting rekt for 6 weeks until they managed to AUTZ ninja a cyno jammer up in the UMIKK constellation . Unfortunately with cyno jammers though you have to win every single fight because you only have to lose one fight to lose the jammer for 6 weeks . The flipside is PanFam have developed a strategy to counter their multigrid problem , still using Supers . the first part is to offline cyno jammers see above and the second part is to basically overwhelm the nodes with huge Super fleets backed up by highly mobile subcap fleets . An entosis FAXrorqual gets dropped the fast tackle comes in to buy time for the supers . It ' s very hard to counter that strategy , and that isn ' t for lack of strategic innovation . it ' s simply a very hard strategy to counter 50 supers , 50 capitals and 50 FAXes on the gates and nodes for a midweek fight unless you have 100 supers , 100 capitals , 100 FAXes ready to go , and not many alliances do . Even then , capitals aren ' t something you just chuck away for a quick laugh so it will be interesting to see how committed PanFam are to trying to kill the Keepstar . I believe the winning side figured out the right mix . I don ' t think anyone is going to remember the Tribute War for PanFam just dropping 100 capitals for instawin . Instead I think they are going to remember it for the huge amount of ISK and materiel PanFam lost trying to take down the Keepstar . When the mainstream media pick up the story in a few weeksmonths it will be about how $ X thousands of dollars were wiped out from a videogame , from an alliance called PanFam . not about how PanFam pushed CO 2 out of tribute . The other problem PanFam face is that it ' s all very well taking sovereignty by flashing your big edick on the nodes . but if you can ' t hold that territory consistently then it will just fold back to CO 2 in a few months time . My guess is they will try to strongarm PH into doing a lot of their bitch sovereignty policing .
