Warfare & Tactics

These are my thoughts as a briefly participant in Caldari militia with my corp prior I tried (also briefly) the life in 0.0 (again)

Now, my excorp changed sides and went to gallente so they can earn more money in less time, and have a more sustainable war and pvp fun. The only problem is that I can't stand to change sides, I'm a patriot, but also I don't like to be playing just for vain effort and tears. These things spice the events in EVE but if you only get that, it gets annoying up to the point to start considering leaving the game (not my case right now)

But straight to the point, the thing that should be fixed is the synergic process that is happening right now in the caldari-gallente war, and as far as I know, in the opposite way in the same war years ago. The problem is the punishment that suffer the militia that is losing the war. Of course I don't want farmers that don't care about the fate or history of our great nation, but the thing is, it's quite difficult to change the tide of the battle without resources, with an enemy souped up and bigger in numbers in the real PVP (don't count just active militia accounts, because that includes people who are siting in the station doing nothing and also froggy spies)

We just want some kind of bonus, help or whatever for militias that reach T1 level, because in that level is almost impossible to fight back given the fact that most eve players are greedy ISK makers who love pvp from time to time, with just a core of hardcore gamers that want to take the responsibility to fight for a cause (not my case in the sense of putting so much effort, but aiming for it), but even they can't attract new blood to the war if there is nothing to fight for other than patriotism. Most people want some kind of revenue in short term so they can sustain their loses in PVP

There should be anything that can be done to fix extreme situations like this. I wouldn't complain if it was only T2, but I'm afraid this will take several months or years until current gallente pvpers give up and choose another thing to do.


And to be fair, there are a loot of noobs in the caldari militia that should be kicked out of it right now. Last thing I remember about this was an Abaddon and two guardians tanking 20 or 30 caldari pilots in their ships (frigate size mostly), and after asking for e-war (jammers specifically), nobody answer my call.... well, a Griffin but I didn't see any major change in the mutual repairs of those guardians and the abaddon. Worst of all was that these enemy ships could jump through the gate (they were very close to it at all times) and NOBODY tackled them at the other side (this was my fault too, because my ship could have done it but I thought that having so much people on this side of the gate, somebody must have already been there to be prepared on the other side, specially after calling for reinforcements on militia channel for 15 or 30 minutes)

The decline of the Caldari militia can be traced to the precise point wherein Don Bolsterbomb departed. Clearly, he was the critical element.

Aside of the lack of pilots in Caldari Militia, there should be a system to capture much faster a system. Independent pilots feel discouraged to fight for their faction if they had to be tied to a fleet or big numbers. The current system encourages farming but at the same time prevents that a system can be captured in short time.

We need a more dynamic system to have lots of small fleets and lonely pilots fighting again.

PS I guess 2 or 4 hours, depending if you are alone or with friends is fair. Also there should be notifications at 50% and 75% to tell the enemy militia that a system is falling in enemy hands

PS2: Obviously, it should be equally easy to defend a system in terms of time

That's the reason I don't use stations that can deny access to store a lot of items. It's your fault, not the mechanic. You can always sell the items you can't recover, or fight to recover the system.
