Warfare & Tactics

+1 and a change of opinion towards you. Good luck out there.

See this all the time. Then they get bored in null after a few weeks and lose 50% of their members.
Hoping a lot more Kraken dudes drop corp/alliance to stay in FW.






Don't wanna leave fw ??
Apply to ASIO. or CERBY today.

Soul-on-ice is a fkn killing machine.

One thing I missed: do those numbers include membership in the NPC FW corps? Because to look at the potential for organized operations, you sort of need to subtract those numbers.

Also, it isn't just Caldari vs. Gallente in Black Rise. There's also Caldari vs. pirates (Snuff Box, Stealth Wear, and others). I can't speak as to whether there's significant Gallente vs. pirates action, but the pirates are a major adversary to the Caldari militia, especially since they routinely have Titan support. (For my own part, whenever I've been involved in an op that involved Titan support or capitals, the hot-drop has always, always been hostile. I have never seen a friendly hot-drop since I joined FW, and I've been in since before the faucet opened with Inferno.)

Actually, I was in the bunker-buster fleets within hours after the notice of the patch. The announcement hit while most of EUTZ was at work, and we had at least one FC who carbonized his brain after about 18 hours straight, trying to manage the bunker busters while simultaneously dodging pirate fleets that were looking for a juicy target to rip to pieces. Decontesting could be done by frigates spread to the wind, especially when the vulnerability-buffer was taken away the next day - flipping systems took concentrated high-damage fleets, and we were bleeding DPS ships regularly as the pirates zeroed in on us.

It was basically a zero-notice, mid-week call to arms, with no time to get organized, and the vast majority of the EUTZ regulars offline.

(And a day or two later, with a bunch of systems still vulnerable, someone was calling for a fleet to go brawling off who knows where, and yes, I raged at that, but I'm part of a small corp in an alliance that's heavily NATZ, so we couldn't form an effective bunker-buster fleet on our own hook...)

They sort of cancel out since there are no current blues that i know of between gallente and local piwates. Actually, thats not exactly true, dnd are blue with fate. But fate generally attack all other gallente and i assume caldari.

I'm baffled why you guys keep trying to portray Gallente mil as some kind of blobbing entity that is ruling the roost. The only time we can really blob is Friday nights with the eve radio roams. Half the time with that we in our usual frigate and dessy swarms. That you choose to engage us in heavier stuff is great, props for doing so. On most nights though it is HE out in BC with logi and/or ewar group of 15-30. That same size is pretty much what we roll in.

You also lump us in together. Most of the time there is a disconnect between the older crowd like DnD and Qcats and the younger crowd of Villore Accords and other gal mil entities. We will cooperate on important objectives but that is not a nightly occurance. If you feel some blobbing conspiracy coming from gal mil you have only yourselves to blame. Frankly, your participation sucks. You have more characters in Cal Mil. That most of them are worthless farmer alts is your problem to solve.

If you feel sometimes sandwiched between a DnD + Qcat contingent and a noobier Gal Mil contingent recognize it is not a crafted sandwich most of the time. There is as I said rarely nightly coordination. Hell, Qcats went their own way because they knew you guys would not fight unless you perceived a numerical superiority that you thought you could make use of.

Basically everyone looks for numerical superiority to engage with. For you guys to always whine in local about Gal blobbing is disengenuous. Both sides will do it when they can. It's so funny to have some gal ganked on a gate or in plex by your organized HE gang then when the organized response in Nenna manages to awaken from it's slumber and may in fact be slightly larger you run and cry blob (totally ignoring the gank that you just enjoyed was it's own blobing).

If you can outnumber the other guy why not do so. Stop complaining about what both of us do. Start shaming your worthless farmers. Start simply enjoying the fights and not complaining about the reaction to your presence. I'm so happy every time I see you guys because we have had some great and pretty well even fights with you. But then if you lose you complain in local that you were blobbed counting everyone in nenna local and ignoring the fact that a good number of those were sitting in station afk or busy with other **** in game or rl, or may have been in a totally separate fleet on separate comms. We are not a monolith just as you are not one either.



This! There were 2 - 4 days where if Cal Mil had reacted the way we've reacted to bunker bust push time in the past they could have flipped dozens of systems before we were able to dplex the grossly over plexed systems that were vulnerable under the old system. Instead Cal Mil listened to Damar's whine that it was so unfair and did not see the incredible opportunity it presented and react accordingly. The regions would have looked so different had you gone a bunker binge. Twice I can recall wiping myself out over a few days to bust bunkers for the lp cash in under the now old system. It was unpleasant either way but we did it. Cal mil needed to react with a push. They didn't and that's why things look the way they look now. Damar's conspiracy delusions got you ******.

As for pirate interference, we both have to deal with it. They are looking for an easy fight. They spot a kichen sink dps bunker bust fleet and start salivating with an organized gang built to kill that. You either accept that you may have to run or you put together your own organized fleet to defend yourself as you bunker bust. Most of the pirate entitites are equal opportunity gankers. I really do not perceive them as a whole giving a **** which one of us controls a system. Cal mil could have gone on a bunker binge, but failed to step up

That was when the economic sytem had some balance, with all militias except amarr, hitting tier 5 cashouts. Now it is set up to be permanently lopsided and it has been ever since.

Of course Ankh (from CSM and Gal militia) was happy enough to dance on my brothers grave and wished I would join him there with all necessary haste so she could get back to plexing. Didnt see your militia raise much objections to those comments either.

This thread has clearly degenerated into personal attacks, flaming and trolling.

As such, it's locked.
