Warfare & Tactics

Perhaps read the Caldari militia guide and Evelopedia. That should explain most of the things I quess...

Basically, you join your faction. go out and kill other faction!

Aye if you tank your standings with the opposite faction it stays with you when you leave FW.

Luckily, if you join Amarr, the mechanics are such that you're better off not trying to take space. Taking space (and killing members of the Tribal Liberation Force NPC corp?) is what tends to kill your standing with your enemy. If you just want PvP, it reasons (and I've heard anecdotes to this effect) that you can get just that for ages and never seriously threaten your standing.

That said, I tried to take space pretty hard for 3-4 months, got my Minmatar standing down to -6.06 (or near that: I'm still doing things that they don't like), which Diplomacy V (trained for other reasons) gets back up to -2.85. Which is not enough to mission for anyone in Minmatar space, but is well over -5.0, the point at which the Minmatar navy will attack you simply for entering their space.

So if you think you may eventually want to trade, or do incursions, or go to live events: Diplomacy is a rank 1 skill. If you think you may eventually change your mind about your balls and mission for the Minmatar or the Gallente... have you really considered the alternative? There is an alternative. It's called: get freighter-loads of standing with Amarr and (derived) Caldari, get jump clones from the 24th IC, get L4 mission access for every corp in Amarr/Caldari space - without grinding missions. You can have everyone sort of not hate you, meaning that you'll have to grind missions to get anything like this (and continually decline missions and otherwise try to balance your standings to keep everyone not-hating you), or you can have half of highsec think you're a hero and the other half - the half you fought against the interests of and don't much like yourself - not offer you missions you don't want anyway.

It's not like you're not "ruining your character" one way or another. The please-nobody-hate-me path results in every pirate faction hating you.

Amarr and Caldari are allies. You'd do the opposite of hurting your Caldari standings by working for the Amarr.



Sure.

Mmm, another Caldari to shoot.

Most fun I've had in this game in intense short amounts of time has been in FW. I'm in and out to do the isk thing or to cure boredom, but in general I love my time in FW. I'm probably going to get back into Amarr FW just to see what a mess the front is right now, but it should be fun.

Still not sure what to think about all of the recent changes, tho... It's been boring in Minmatar FW for the most part since we crushed Amarr, so I'm looking for a change (and really don't have any patience for blob warfare).

aaa i would, i would only I dont want to join a faction that has no intention of helping themselves.....if there was some eliment of it that was trying to get organsised and start taking back territory rather than just hang around the same 6 systems for some rather pointless pvp I right right there to help.


Another interesting thing iv noticed is that a few weks ago i looked at the recruitment forum and it was rammed with FW corps recruiting - yesterday i went through several pages, shouted out for a while in teh recruitment chanel - joined the public chanel of a feFW corps that i could find (cuodlnt find the name of many) and could barely find any FW corps at all - let alone a nice sized one looking for recruits (nice size for me =between 35-100 active players).

Im leaving my current corp today in the hope that ill be able to find recrutinig corps in the militia chat chanels : /
