Warfare & Tactics

Once upon a time, there was organization in the caldari militia and all was well. Then one day it ended, when Wolfsbrigade left.

/me turns on flame-hardeners.

I would say the organization represents the warzone. Gal/Cal is very spread out and it's rare that you see more than 10 in a system that's not a 'home' system during USTZ. Over the weekend in Minnie/Amarr space, every stsyem had a MINIMUM of 10 that I was in and I bet those sides have good intel/fleets up (I leave it to you to define "good") more than we do. Or at the very least, more fleet action because it's more condensed.

Fleet finder will occasionally have fleets - but 1/2 of them will be set ups to gank you.


Thing is - FW is mostly people who can't stand the way things are done in Null sec.
They don't need someone to tell them how to fit, fly and when they can do it.

You have joined a group of individuals.
When you have a group who can all think for themselves - organization becomes a burden.


Example:
I have one concern. My home system. That's all.
The system next door or 2 jumps away is someone elses problem. If they do not take ownership and look after it by dplexing and chasing off farmers then they deserve to lose it.

It is up to smaller individual Corps to make somewhere their home in low sec and defend it.
The war zone is too big and with a larger organized group, prioritizing would need to occur leaving someones home system getting screwed over.

So if an alliance has 3 corps and they all live in the same place and defend the same system - they will fail by choice.

They should have each corp based in different systems and have them defend them. So the smaller groups can get more done and are more efficient. A larger organized group would have too narrow of a focus to be of any use.


The biggest problem is actually FW people living in High Sec. They do not take ownership of home systems and defend them.

Has it occurred to you that I have previously stated (twice) that I was not referring to the corp/alliance level? Or are you one of those who puts asshattery first, and reading second?

You can keep DNleviathan quite freely. Please do not send him back.

In all seriousness, I recall DNleviathan did the usual thing many people before and after have done. The conversation usually goes like this:

DN: I want you/your corporation to come help pvp with us.
DR: Ok, will your corp help me plex then?
DN: No, plexing is pve. We are here for pvp!
DR: Then why should I help you if you are not willing to help me?

After that he runs to forums and moans how people refuse to follow his mighty leadership..



If people want to feed their enemy easy kills by not being on fleets or comms in their 2-3 man corporations, they can do that. Alternatively they can join any of the existing alliances/corporations to learn and to have competent people to fly with. It's not particulary hard to join them either.

sorry colt i was generalising and not meaning just occupancy war..

What does militia tiers have to do with anything in the end?
The big fleet fights are good for having fun. It's a game, not your life or your job.
Systems will come and go, the tiers will fluctuate. In fact, only caring about tiers would put you in the same category as the farmers. It's not about the isk or the systems your militia owns or the plexes you spin.

Of course he doesnt. But im going to explain what i believe to be the overwhelming consensus view to you.

Fact is the plexes, tiers and isk are all catalysts for fun times, be it gudfites, blobbing, small gang, boosted solo, tru solo or whatever. FW is an arena, to encourage PvP.

Though it does appear there are people who like to roleplay occupancy, who seem to consider what a system says in the top left corner of the screen to be the primary focus of FW while being too jaded to appreciate the things that are generated by the fw arena as a whole.

I think most of us can agree that those few people have a confusing outlook on FW. Perhaps they enjoy taking occupancy really seriously, that is both their crime and their punishment imo.

So you are essentially parroting the old lie that "Caldari take it seriously" and "Gallente take it casually" despite your militia having already stated multiple times they dont want any hostiles living in low-sec to harass your isk farming.

Nah, i know for a fact that there are a lot of normal people in the caldai and all other militias. The fact i didnt mention any militia specifically was not an accident. Just the few 'personalities' that seem to have confusing priorities in all militias. Perhaps my post struck a chord with you for a reason?

Also, on a similar note. One person saying something =/= everyone saying something. I know this is a confusing concept best learned as a child, but cognitive developmental issues sometimes prevent this. Its best not to point fingers at parents and upbringing, as its just as likely to be a genetic defect.
