EVE General Discussion

You really dont need that big a force just to take out moon harvesters,and i suspect it would irate the hell out of the owners to constantly see their moon tech income disrupted.Theres alot of non HBC or unaligned corps who just might enjoy griefing a well known griefing corp/ alliance lol.So good on the OP for thinking this information might be usefull,and maybe giving those corp an enjoyable something to do if they wish / want.Maybe RvB and EVE UNI,will want to do ops on PvP raiding /POS grinding or FW just to pull the 0.0 boys chains lol Have to admit seeing Goons whine about it on the forums would be sweet lol

perhaps elo knight can lead them

Would you believe that I have seen moon harvesters anchored outside the POS shields. Along with shield hardeners outside the shields too!

Yeah, cause we definitely need our entire force to know where yours is headed.

I will never understand what drives people to opine on topics they know absolutely nothing about.

Thank you OP. This is all the information my 9 man corp needs to start taking moons from these mega alliances.

Not sure if trying to be serious... or sarcastic... *Fry face*

I think you'll find that we're quite willing to "rep pos" like we are to "shoot pos".

As an added bonus, if you are a carrier repping pos, you will no longer have Boat leading you (a great loss, I know).

IT WAS A LITTLE INSIDE JOKE FOR US MEMBERS OF THE 'SOV CLUB'.

Someone who is knowledgeable about war in general can most certainly apply that knowledge to war in EvE, even without years of prior experience. What I jokingly (?) proposed wasn't EvE specific - it was just one of the oldest tricks in the oldest of books.

If he sends reinforcements everywhere, he will everywhere be weak - Sun Tzu

So if a force could sneak in a dozen stealth ships and mix one or two cynos in there, then do a simultaneous strike on a dozen moon and thus triggered all their alerts at once, then it's simply a matter of figuring out which of those alerts the victim does not/can not respond to quickly enough - and then launch your real attack there.

Preemptively do "scare" strikes without an actual assault for two weeks straight and you may just lull them into ignoring you altogether, not realizing when the real attack finally comes.

See, blob warfare is something you can see simply playing "Sword of the Stars" and paying attention to the Hivers. The strength of that race is that they can teleport their fleets to any system they control in a single turn, which means that they tend to just make one giant fleet to solve all their problems (sound familiar?). The way to beat them is to make sure you're hitting multiple locations at once. They'll either end up unable to protect to everything, or dividing themselves into groups small enough to defeat in regular combat.

If you really wanted to do guerrilla actions against the null-sec blobs there are other ways as well. For example, go after their ice-bot fleets and deprive them of jump fuel. Use your own blob to reverse-gank their gate camps at random and then just leave, thus causing fear & frustration with their lower-ranked guards who get stuck with that job. Have your spies on the inside pay special attention to their cyno pilots and you pretty much know everything they're going to do, or be able to do at least. And so on.

The main thing is this: The solution to fighting a Titan blob is not to fight it at all. Instead simply realize that Titan blobs are only possible through the presence of a massive support structure that is far more vulnerable than the null-sec alliances will ever be willing to admit (You can find plenty of examples of this amusing sense of denial before this post, and many more will most certainly follow it as well).
