Warfare & Tactics

It would be great if it was like non-fw low sec but still spawned plexes that effected sov and tiers etc. Just not your ability to dock.

You're not the first person to wonder why I don't post GF in local. I rarely ever post GF in local after a fight because

A) it feels a bit contrived since everyone does it and few mean it
B) I'm so busy doing post-fight stuff that I don't have time to read or interact in local

That fight was the first time I had fought or FC in months so I was extremely rusty. The only thing I quickly realized afterwards is how risk averse many Gallente fleets/pilots are nowadays. Yeah, I said it. The one thing I kept hearing on comms even as we tried to come back for another round was

"Deen. Why do we do shield but don't have Scimis or Scythes?" (Ughhh...because this was a corp roam of 10 pilots before all the non corpies joined and made it a blob?)
"Deen- Let's do either pure armor or pure shield. Why are you allowing a mixed gang?" (Ughh...because you morons don't have a shield missle cruiser or proper support ships, so you think a shield Vexor is the next best thing so you can KM whore?
"Deen- Let's get set up properly to counter them" (Ughhh....No. I don't want to take 20 minutes to fight their rag tag fleet comp)

To quote Gavin from another post;




I more or less said this on comms and tried to explain why you don't need logi all the time. Because, you know, there was a time when people flew gangs without logi. All I get back from people is how Squids in Enaluri will always bring the hard counter. or that other Gallente FCs always do logi so I have to as well. So because Caldari bring the hard counter, I have to bring a hard counter as well. Or because all the other FCs bring logi, then I have to bring logi....for a 10-man fleet?!?

A recipe for no fun and all blue balls.


Thanks for the fight ;)

Deen,

You would have loved our comms that night. I think it went something like this:

Me: Scylus, I'm gonna suicide run a cruiser into the medium to kill Deen Wispa
Scylus: I'm in
Titus: what's going on?
Me: Were running a suicide run into medium. We're all going to die but as long as Wispa goes down mission is a success.
Titus: what do you want me to bring?
Me: Whatever you are willing to lose cause you will lose it
{This continues for awhile as random alliance people join}
Me: That's it, I'm not waiting any longer, everyone warp to the medium and enter on contact. Remember Deen Wispa is primary regardless of what she's in. Anyone else we kill is icing on the cake. If you aren't ready just get here when you are.

{We enter the plex and Deen starts pulling range so we can't hit her}

Scylus: That dirty ***** knew our plan
Me: {sigh} ok new primary is....

Some how we did end up winning that battle ... Oh and Deen's bellicose was destroyed so mission success?


Need to come over and hang out more Deen. You know we love you over here are still waiting for your application

Its a great way to learn before getting into logi cruisers.

Well actually I am shocked that calmil mostly isn´t even able to form small fleets to face the gals.
Mostly when the gals had a 15+ cruiser fleet up we lacked the numbers. Weird.
Wondering where militia was in Enaluri. Can´t imagine these not even 150 peeps was all.
Was a good fighting there for several days. Yep.
Although you needed minmatar help.
Miss the Kam/Kourm brutality a bit where you are able to form 30+ fleets within 5minutes sometimes.
On the other side the gals WANT a good fight instead of typical simple minmatar pwning.

Look at the numbers of kills when Kamela was defended ;)
All on smaller scale here it seems.
Seems also Smile n Wave is bored to sit all their day in Arzad and chase plexers in the neighbour systems.
Or are they so scared of the amarrs now? Blob doesn´t work vs amarr mili any more (well at least it didn´t work when I left).
Was funny to smash that united gal/minnie fleet on Kourm gate. Btw. gals your Augoror fits are horrible :P
At least you learned to use Augs and not Exqus any more.
Calmil is in a horrible condition actually. Reminds me a lot of broken amarr militia in august 2012. Well. I am sure calmil will recover.

Well thx to killer, superchair and greg for all the effort in fcing.

A lot of truth in it :D

No.
