Warfare & Tactics

XG has boosts? That's news too me, considering in ever single OGB thread he is firmly against OGB's... and Im in his corp and was the only one with OGB.

Oh Whinemar, the things you say entertain me so.

1. I fail at pvp, but I do understand how to get into fights, and 2. Intaki is great this time of year.

Less than two minutes from undocking. Logged into Deven, had to make one jump into Fliet and then warp to minor plex. But it wasn't a good fight. I had my "loki-boosted, snake-set" Comet, warped into him at zero (I know, certain death right? But you know what they say - fortune favors the bold and all that) and had to burn away before getting scrammed.

Carry on.

actually not really, with tier 1 you will get only 0.5x of rewards while enemy gets 3.25x rewards. So if agent tell you that you will get 25000lp actually with tier 1 you will get 12500 and with tier5 you will get 81250 lp. Also you have to note that if you lose all systems you will lose all lowsec agents so you get actually much less lp than just 50%.

So there is just no point to try to grind any isk on losing side, better to join winners and make easy isk.

And if you want to pvp i am sure there is pvp on every side, at least for now.

XG arguing with Squids is like arguing with liberals. Logic does not cut it. You have to bribe them with handouts.

Another < 10 minute kill Yesterday as well. Log on, comms says "Celestis and griffins in Heyd", UNDOCK (the first key to getting fights quickly btw), warp to plex and engage Celestis, thought griffins were going to come but they didn't. Keres shows up late to whore. Technically not a 1v1, but a good fight filled with potential risk. Mutnin would be proud, but he doesn't play anymore either.

It is just so incredibly difficult to get fights in FW. I mean, I've been wasting like two minutes of my life setting up these fights! Why can't we get fights before we undock from station??!!! rageragerage!!!!!

Today: Logged into Deven, immediately undocked, warped to Fliet gate and there were three Russian drakes hanging out. Of course they must have been baiting somebody in Fliet. I jump in, larger plex is up so I warp to it. There's another Russian drake tackled by two of our militia guys, so I join in and point and orbit at 20 km. Who knows, maybe we have support coming. I let the guys know on the intel channels that there are Russians in Deven. When the bait drake gets down to 20% shield, the Russian support comes in and one of our guys dies. Technically, not a 1v1, but a fight in under 2 minutes from logging on (AGAIN).

So, I decide to head to Oto. It was at 32% yesterday (Thank you CCP for providing these numbers), and today it is at 28% - hey maybe somebody is plexing it down. On the way, in Deven there's a FW mission up so I take mental note. Open minor plex in Oto - Navy SWO (who has been there the last few days) doesn't show up in the first minute so I head back to Deven. Maybe I can gank a FW mission runner? I warp to the mission and there's a Russian dramiel there waiting to gank me. So I warp into the mission adn then warp to Fliet. He follows. Sorry, but Dramiel > Comet and this is a fight I would lose (and have lost) 100% of the time. I jump Fliet, warp to minor and he follows so I warp out again into Heyd and ship into a Catalyst. PRO TIP: Have multiple types of ships ready to go in station.

Who knows? He's probably gone and I'll just run the minor in Fliet. I warp to Fliet gate in Heyd and he's there in his dram just jumping in. I jump through and warp to the minor. Surely this dude will follow and I'll probably lose this Cat. I've got maybe a 10% success rate against drams (according to recent history fighting drams in Annancale), but I think "Hey why not?" I summon all the karma I can from the great Zarnak Wolf, godfather of the125mm rail Catalyst, and think WWZD? He wouldn't go into the plex. He'd land and burn off as quickly as possible. So that's what I did. Dram lands and gives chase. 10 overheated seconds later.... 10 minutes into Eve

Unfortunately I had to go GCC, so I warped into the minor and hung out for 10 minutes to get 25k LP as well. Not a bad session. Elongated not by FW but by low sec GCC mechanics.

Two fights in the first 12 minutes. Could have two fights in under 10 minutes but I was too much of a pussy to engage a Dramiel with my Comet.

What do these three fights listed in this thread have in common?
1. FW plexes and missions ALL played a key role in enabling the fights.
2. All three fights involved ships I use to solo run FW plexes.
3. I was willing to engage at less than 100% odds of winning (probably 70%, then 50%, then 20% odds by my estimation)
4. Intel channels are great for finding engagements.

Bottom Line: YOU ARE DOING IT WRONG.

This afternoon: 32 seconds! Logged in, this time in space. Saw plex on scan with wolf and thrasher, warped to plex at 20, engaged thrasher, got kill.

So, bottom line, there's plenty of on demand pvp in FW. Don't let any of the posters in here tell you otherwise.

Check out the plexes. If you are in FW, then run them if things are slow. You'll get lots of LP (Caldari are at Tier 2 = 1 hookbill per minor plex), to recover from any of your losses. Kill stuff as you see fit. Join intel channels, x up for fleets, yada yada yada.

FW is where it's at fellas - if you want near on-demand pvp.

League of Legends misses you (not teemo though, f@ck teemo)

Thats really excellent. I think I did something close to that once or twice but its excedingly rare. That is definitely not happening in the amarr minmatar front. How many different fights was it?

BTW its not really XG challenge. He doesn't try to see how many fights he can get in 2 hours. He just gets a single kill and comes running to the forums to post it and says "see there is lots of pvp"
