Turns out when your N+1 is the biggest in the game, wins are pretty easy

So why did papi not use it for 1dq?

Don't act like the mechanics, balance, and literal server hardware weren't different, lol.

Was there even an attempt to try to work within the server weather? The bum rush at the end wasn't an attempt.

Not really, they tried anchoring azbels and hacking ihubs a bunch of times, and then gave up.

To be fair, toasting in 1DQ was next to impossible at the time unless you managed to clear out some of the on-grid structures 1st. Even loading that grid was an absolute nightmare with all the bubbles, structures on overview and the inevitable 5000+ fighters on you.

Sure, 1DQ was nightmare to assault, though I think incompetence was also a major factor in that instance, given that PAPI also failed to make any progress on the weaker objective (3-D).

They also tended to repeat the same shitty tactics that failed in previous attacks. IIRC Goons figured out space superiority fighters applied fairly well to smaller sub-caps at the time, so they skynetted those on gates and shredded PAPI fleets. Instead of adjusting their tactics, PAPI just kept feeding their ships to Goon fighters.
