This was a fantastic event run by Agony. I can't stress enough how impressed I am not only by the Agony pilots who supported my efforts to lead the gang, but by the alumni that composed the bulk of it. Congratulations!
If you missed this roam, or would like to review the action that took place, I recorded ALL FIVE HOURS and have it uploaded to my stream site. The recording is missing me introducing myself, but that's about it.

Even with that caveat, however, I had a thoroughly enjoyable roam, learned some things I hadn't previously known, and would been very keen indeed to try the same thing again, presuming Sard could be persuaded to make a semi-regular thing of it.

Sard was a great FC with a differnt style (to Agony FCs). His unwillingness to use bubbles as well as his lack of fear of them when warping to a gate somehow tells me that he is mostly fighting in lowsec
Meh I find that bubbles are highly overrated especially when you are travelling with a 'blob'. A random catch bubble on gate isn't a serious threat to a bigger fleet and dictors/hictors trap you as much as the other guy so you're basically relying on the fact that your intel on them is better then theirs on you (wouldn't be the first time somebody bubbles an 'easy kill' just to find oh 'oops that's what they meant us to do').
Furtermore when you're looking for 'a fight' and not 'a gank' then bubbles are a useful tool but little else because lets be honest most fights you have to force by locking down the enemy fleet tend to lean closer to the gank side of the equasion.
Eleborate strategies with an anchored bubble and cloaked hictors/dictors in front basically rely on the enemy having shit CovOps scouts so aren't that useful either I think.
All just opinion ofc, but bubbles have their 'scare factor' inflated quite considerably by people who have no clue (yet) about how they work dying needlessly in them early in their EVE carreers.
Good for getting ganks, not so much for getting fights imho.

They are useful to split a more powerful hostile force to try and get something you can fight (and no, this doesn't rely on "shit covops scouts" in the opposing fleet - there are so many situations where a covops would never be able to give them the intel).
They are useful for improving your escape chances against an overwhelming force that you can't split.
They are also good for getting ganks - and half of PvP is getting the gank (or if you're lucky, fight) in the first place.
The above is not to say you have to have bubbles to have fun in nullsec - not by a long shot. They're far better than you're giving them credit for though.

I would link yesterday's durka, but the one I uploaded isn't sanitized yet. Bubbles are powerful and dangerous to even a blob. T3 BCs would absolutely love for your tackle to warp across without a care in the world.

Just to elaborate:Edit - the disco you Agony boys and girls put on yesterday for the goonies in Poitot is another very worthwhile use of bubbles
We had about 25 durka BS (Durka=smartbomb) in Poitot ready to disco. The goonies have a gang moving through from X-M towards us, abou 15 strong, bc+frigs and a Tengu. We set up 70 off the F67 gate, alligned to X-B. Dictor cloaked at 50. Goon scout enters local and most likely goes "WTF? who are these people?" Anyway, while we're sitting there, a Slicer warps to the gate at 100, sees us and no bubble and warps off. A minute later, their fleet enters, and we put our bubble up. Now, i figure their scout reported the gate clear of bubbles and told their gang to warp in at 100 or whatever to kite and kill us or directly to gate, but they landed right in the middle of the dancefloor. So we lit up and even managed to kill some of our own due to excessive durka. Good times.

Not saying they aren't. Just saying they're not *required*.
That's totally accurate. I think people took exception when you originally said they are "overrated." Since I've been in Agony, I've seem better application of bubbles than anywhere else in Eve. We love the damn things!

This is what I was disagreeing with. I don't think anyone said they're required and if they did - I certainly didn't...

I've been told bubbles can be usefull from time to time
So I anchored a bubble between the Goon POS & Mittanigard. Results were had. http://r1fta.killmai...kll_id=13172105 - http://imgur.com/a/K6Kpa#1
And that's just the thing. Bubbles have a big tactical application. Sure you can run around without bubbles and have no problems at all, but sometimes it's just handy to have a bubble or bubbler around for when a situation presents itself where a bubble is needed.
Which is also why it's common to have some bubbles with you since a small t1 bubble is cheap, or if you have enough people in fleet a dedicated bubbler. The loss in dps is small, and the potential tactical use more then compensates. There's really no reason when you go roaming around null to not take a bubble with you. A small t1 bubble is cheap and could be just the thing you need at one time or another. You might not need it, but the only thing it did then was occupy some cargo space.
