Is this any better?

I need to obs some stuff to learn the ropes. Could someone also explain to me what exactly am I seeing? This large bubbles with electrical discharges in them are interdiction spheres or what?

A brief summary of what exactly happened in this video would be really helpful.

Don't learn by watching videos on youtube. 90% of them are made by people that don't know what they're doing and simply follow orders.

In this one dude is giving orders and they're supposedly flying frigs (guy in vid is in Firetail).
And I don't want to learn tactics or anything from them, I want to learn to look at this things and make sense of it (so far it's: dots fly around, shit dies).

Are there any EVE PvP VODs with commentary?

I believe kil2 has some fairly nice videos up where he comments his thought process while pvping (though if you don't even know the basics i doubt this will be helpful) you can find them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/jampyzero

in this i believe most of them were flying BCs
the whole video was pretty useless as far as figuring out what was going on in the fight. the highlight of the video was the dude using the tracking disruptor on the scimis.

I was wondering what the white flashes were. Glad it's been fixed though, they were really annoying.

In the year of our Lord two-thousand and twelve, The Hatchery joined the mighty spaceships alliance Fatal Ascension in the spirit of justice and fighting against the evil aggression of the RUS))) / NC. / wajlkfjajdsjsfkj alliances. In order to celebrate the formation of this mighty coalition, we decided to make a joint raid into the hostile region of Tribute. On our travels, we met some ~BLACK OPS ELITE~ knights from the Goonswarm Federation.

While discussing how we were to fight the enemy with our ~~raiding force~~ giant blob, one of the impetuous Goonswarm knights noticed that one of our rifter pilots was not properly marked as friendly, drew his blade, and cut him down.

Incensed at this violation of chivalric codes, we swiftly unhorsed him from his Cynabal steed, and a grand melee commenced.

The CREAM OF GOON NOBILITY lay smote upon the battlefield, but unfortunately we were kicked from the Fatal Ascension alliance as a result of this tragic tragic misunderstanding

tl;dr don't touch our rifters

They 100% started that. We ran into them and Legionnaire, an FA diplo who was in our fleet, informed them that the rifter was with us. We ended up sitting on gate with their entire gang, all but one of us blue to them, clearly a single fleet together, and I started asking about potentially attacking TMA (who had a fleet in the neighbouring system and were red to both of them) in local chat.
I want to make it clear that we were all sitting at 0 next to them on the gate in our nano ships, we'd told them he was friendly, we were chatting with them and we were clearly together. After about 30 seconds of sitting together one of their cynabals unilaterally opens up on the spawning pool rifter. It clearly wasn't a fleet order, it was just one cynabal, it wasn't a response to a sudden situation, we'd been sitting together for a while, it wasn't confusion, they'd been informed and our entire blue fleet which was clearly affiliated with the rifter was all sitting right next to them. But the guy, who is apparently part of some arrogant goon nobility corp, decided that we wouldn't do anything if he pushed his luck.

He opened up on our rifter. We nuked the fucker.

Now I want to make it clear that we didn't immediately respond by attacking the entire blue fleet, although we shot the blue cynabal it was only while it was shooting our fleet mate, our efforts were purely as peacekeepers to end the violence which he had started. However unfortunately the pernicious vagabond and sleipnir leapt to the defence of the bullying cynabal and attacked my noble oracle.

We nuked the fuckers.

Their entire fleet, considerably larger than ours, definitely better equipped, was a hard counter to our nano setup. We had two drakes, a nado, an oracle, a curse and one rifter (the other rifter was dead and the FA guys were not involved), our links were scouting the red fleet in the next system and were on zero with them and did not even have them locked. Not a good situation to be in. They had two drakes, two vagabonds, two cynabals, a sleipnir, a kessy and a falcon. So we were pretty much fucked from the outset when they attacked us.

Afterwards it was explained by our FA diplomatic friends that those guys were pretty up themselves about how they were srs bznz pvpers and would be "srs SPIPLOMATIC incident" over this. I found that kind of funny because if they'd killed all of us I'm pretty sure they would have trashtalked us in local and there would have been no incident. They're not mad over the fight, they're mad over what we did to their virgin worldview.

Naturally I offered to apologise for the incident and said the full wealth of The Hatchery corp wallet would be available to them in reparations. Unfortunately we have no tech and someone robbed our corp wallet so that amounted to about five million isk. Before we could explain ourselves we got kicked from the noble Fatal and their honourable Ascension.

Your foray into nullsec douchebaggery is well received with this low knave. Well played, sirs.

Btw @ Manit0u: other than bouncing around with the Hatch and learning the old fashioned way, watching my stream isn't a bad idea. If you have a basic grasp of the game you can quickly learn how I dscan, scout, assess opponents, approach roaming, FC, so on. I stream small gang and solo PvP in lowsec and nullsec, occasionally with the Hatchery as well (when I get a bug up my ass to have Kwarkenführer FC-rage down my earhole). The highlights section show commentaries on fights, as well as clipped out fights if you just want to check those out. Best bet would be to watch me as I go and ask questions; I wouldn't mind flying without a delay to answer you live.

I'ts hard to refrain from commenting how retarded you guys seem to be for shooting back. All your FC had to do was report in local or jump up a channel in teamspeak, but clearly that wasn't your intention. Good riddance, way to waste everyones time with your moronic leadership. Oh btw X ATM or whatever derped it up in alliance chat all day, it was fun to observe. k bye.

Edit: Also, you're all bad. I love TL to death but jesus you make this site look like shit on a daily basis. Thanks for the killmails, xoxo <3's from a fellow TL'er

Kwarkenführer!
*writes down*

That's a keeper.

edit: KILLMAILS!?!? tell me this man is lying to us.
Is FA filled with masochists? did I get the wrong killmail? Is this guy lying to himself and if he's not could he care to post the killmails he seems to be so happy about?
Oh wait, we lost the fleet when the FA blob ascended (heh..) on us?
DID WE LOSE A TITAN!?
