I could imagine if the battle was a little more fair, a lot more than 20-30k would've been lost.

Eh, the scale of the battle happened because of an accident. You see, basically a coalition leader jumped into an ambush when he meant to bridge the jump so that many ships could jump with him (it's an understandable mistake, the BRIDGE button is right on top of the JUMP button and these coalition leaders are under lots of stress). Since he jumped into an ambush with no support he panicked and ordered a bunch of larger than normal ships to jump in. When the ambushing coalition saw what was happening they basically went all in an started warping everything in. It just turned into a clusterforget and the ambushing coalition (HBC) wrecked the ambushed (CFC). If everything had gone to plan it would have been a smaller skirmish. It was all based on a guess by an ally of the HBC that the CFC would try to take control of a moon controlled by a smaller alliance.

Bet that guy's never going to bridge again without taking a split-second to check the key.

Honestly anyone flying a Titan should know to D-scan before warping, but I guess his mistake cost a lot of people a lot of money.
