Warfare & Tactics

I just decided to randomly read the forums about Tactics and Warfare hoping to learn some cool tricks. Instead all I find are these posts complaining about wardec system one way or another.

Do you people have no imagination? If you cannot engage in proper PVP yourself find someone that can! Make friends, allies... if you have no time for such nonsense and prefer to spend all your efforts making ISK then spend some of that ISK to hire Mercs!
Be creative, be bold pilot, your fate lies in YOUR hands, not in some random griefers. Get rid of the notion that you're not good or strong enough.... if you must, ask for help in tactics, strategy, direct or indirect intervention... BUT FFS, PLEASE STOP WHINING ABOUT WARS!

Thank you :)

My personal favorite method for getting rid of unwanted wars in neutral alts in catalysts.

War should not be a forum for thugs and bullies to intimidate war? WTF? What do you think war has ever been for? I agree that if a corp is decced the players shouldn't be able to jump corps for a certain amount of time.

The "battlefield" war ended looong before video games, where idiots lined up with innacurate short ranged muskets and stood still to be shot to bits. War today is guerrillas in nature. There is hit and run. Cloak and dagger. You're vision of war is dated and naive.

This might be a game that YOU play to relax and have fun, but your version of fun and relaxation is not necessarily the same as everyone else. Personally, I relieve a lot of stress from my day by blowing something to pieces. You don't want to take away my stress relief and fun, do you? Ofc not.

Brilliant thread!

I dislike the idea of griefing small corps being more profitable or easier. If anything, I believe it should be the other way around, One member mentioned the idea of CONCORD 'sanctioning' each pilot, and for that there is a fee. I.E.

Corp A (500 people) decs Corp B (10 people)- at a cost of let's say 500 mil for 1 week.
Corp A sends corp B ransom notice - "We'll leave you alone for 1 billion isk) (and yes, I agree the timer for re-dec should scale, even furthermore I suggest the possibility of Corp B recieving dec immunity from anyone else, to prevent alt-corp griefing that we all know happens)

I believe the cost should scale with
A. The amount of players decing corp has and
B. The amount of current wars defender is in

I can't say this is their goal, but elimination of assets is a good thing in the long run - this nerf to incursions and anything in which people make too much money is a good thing in my eyes. I have not played this game for 7 years and accumulated 70M SP to have my assets and skills deflated - I worked my ass off a long time ago in LEVEL 3 missions (LOL!!!) to get a paltry sum of isk that a newb can make in a day nowdays - inflation has already impacted people such as myself enough, let's stop before PLEX costs 2 billion.

I agree with changing the 'war' system - it is not fun most of time and involves docking up and un-fun tactics for the most part - concording neut reps is a good start in my eyes, but the idea of forcing someone to not be able to dock is reminiscent of living in low sec circa 2005 where you undock and get shot by people before your screen even loads - there's now an invulnerability timer to prevent these grossly unfair situations, and I don't think denying station games is the way to go. Station games should be a perfectly viable tactic - if the agressing corp has nothing better to do than camp you all day, thats fine. You obviously must have pissed them off, or they are just very angry nerds wasting your time, pissing YOU off. Either way, I see nothing wrong with that. While that is happening, no money is theoretically being made and thus is helps decrease the general assets of eve in the macro game.

What I dislike is the gangbang/blob aspect - it should not be easy for larger, established corps to pick on smaller ones wether through a wardec cycle exploitation system or through making it more cost effective to do so - if you own a POS, you can't just 'unanchor' everything once war is declared - let's say you're raising a BC BPC by ME1 - that takes a week, and cancelling the job does not allow you to unanchor your lab, sadly. If this were changed, that would be a good start. Anyone in hisec with a POS is incredibly vulnerable to station game tactics, as they can camp your station and bash your POS - there's your reward as an attacker and motivation as a defender, but what would motivate someone without a POS to engage in war?

I leave the question open for you -

You are one slow reader.


But in my opinion high sec war is only used to grief mostly industrial/mining/missioning corps. Just anoying... ppl cant play for weeks and eventually stop playing (happened to me and a few mates of me a few times). Being in a corp to learn stuff as a noob etc, and constantly being wardecced. Awsome. Wauw. Sweet... If griefer corps really want some kills they should go nullsec or lowsec.

You get the point.

Wardecs are for allowing to attack war targets in highsec.

How you want to use it is your call.

sorry for the sarcasm....seriously....just gtfo of highsec, do some exploring in low, or something different...EVE is a game not a job :)
