Warfare & Tactics

You had 100 guys on comms and couldn't come up with a fleet to match that? Really???
We had a 40 man fleet. So we came out in BSes? Go get yours and let's go! I find it hard to believe that out of "100 guys" you couldn't come up with BSes and logi support.

You do realize that prior to the patches we were something like 15 or more systems in the hole to Gallente? We had lost our home system Enaluri. We had maybe 3 agent systems left in low sec and came very close to losing two of those 3, the week of the patch.

We were in no better shape than Amarr, prior to the week before the patch came out and in all honestly I think Amarr were better off because Caldari couldn't even field a BC gang at the time. We didn't have a rosy out look and pretty much everyone had to evac their stuff to high sec or to some station system that wasn't a likely target.

The thing that made the difference for Caldari is our plexing guys kept plexing and Caldari would get a system flip every once in a while and manage to flip a bunker in the odd hours of the night. Gals would of course just take it back, but we knew we could take systems but just couldn't hold them.

That gave us one opportunity.. The week of the patch we didn't roll over and let Gals steam roll our last few important systems. Instead we went on the offensive and put an all out effort to flip station systems that Gals were living in. We put them on the defense which meant they couldn't roll anymore of our system instead they had to defend.

We failed at capturing any systems in our efforts but we succeeded in stopping them from taking any new systems prior to the patch. After the patch, it started to become apparent that the patch wasn't going to be as bad as we thought and actually might favor the way Caldari has been playing the last year.

Simply put the patch favors the side that spreads out it's forces and attacks all across the map, instead of staying boxed up in one area. This is what Caldari had been forced into doing by the Gal blobs, but ironically it became what has allowed turn the fight in our favor.

Amarr could have done what Caldari has done and in all honestly you still can.. To win the new sov system you have to spread your corps out across the map where they can attack their local systems but more importantly defend those systems that are captured.

Uhmm, for the record I made no complaint whatsoever. I didnt say there was anything wrong with what Gallente did so please do not put words in my mouth I did not give you leave to do so.

Now if you are claiming that we didn't have those numbers on comms, ok, whatever, suit yourself. I, and everyone else who was on knows we did. Why you see fit to call him who you know not, a liar, i dunno.

Taking 2 systems and almost finishing a 3rd is not a show of force. We were doing something. It also it becomes apparent from your posts that you werent, in fact, actually online at the time, or at least not there. Have no idea why you are even posting in the thread other than to troll, TBH.

As far as not being seen the rest of the day, we did in fact bust the bunker in the third system a short time later. It's ours now.Again, wrong. Again.

To restate, i have no complaints about the Gals, i never complain about what they do in the field, never have, I simply stated we couldnt match their fleet so we didnt give battle. Thats not a whine, just a fact.

Another poster wants to pretend i am claiming we had 100 drakes available. in the 45 man fleet we had, we only had 15 BCs and the rest were smaller ships, so no, i wasn't gonna fight a 40 man BS gang with logi support.

Mock all you want, i think it's really just a case of the gals crying sour grapes after we spent the afternoon plexing, flipping systems, blowing up gallente ships and then, hours later when they finally respond we split after we had done the damage.

Win for us, fail for you. The fact is you arent winning anymore. Deal with it.Maybe if you didnt wait almost 3 hours to raise a proper fleet youd still own those systems

Bottom line, when patch came out ,we owned 41 systems, you had the rest. It's now 53 to 48, In Caldari's favor, and changed during the aforementioned events.You can claim victory all you want. reality says otherwise.You are losing, loser.

Exactly.Wasn't anything random, was a counter offensive we launched. It was in fact pretty mush the same thing the Israelis did in the '73 war.

Stop being a weakling and help us win it back.

edit : although thanks to CCP's bad game mechanics this is impossible to do. But winning the fake war doesn't necessarily make the game fun.

Shall I assume afk plexing alts represent settlers on the west bank?

Things I would balance are NPC's i.e. all NPC's should need to be killed and should web etc and I do I think the t1 pricing is probably too harsh and t5 to good but the general principle of lost your territory you're broke compared to the other guy is sound.

all i hear is a bunch of amarr whining about how bad they are at eve. man up bro, im always around to cheer you up, just come to my plex and give me more kms, im getting sick of fweddit ones
