Warfare & Tactics

So,

I am an old school FC looking to get the rust blown clean off my shoulders from a 2 year hiatus. I would like to join the militia that is in need of most help, and it seems to be the Amarr. I would like to now a few things:

1- Is the Amarr indeed the militia currently worse off?
2- Do they NEED FC's?
3- Where is the staging system typically used?


Thanks all!

Before the CCP live event last Friday I would have told you to join Gallente since we were, by all accounts, rapidly failcascading. But now that we've taken down that Titan in Luminaire I'd say you should join Caldari since now they are clearly the underdog.

Just double check your timezone vs the militia you are joining. The balance of power between militias swings drastically from timezone to timezone and even hour to hour.

I'm amazed you can say that with a straight face. The map is almost ENTIRELY red (ie, Minmatar). I think the numbers argument is lame; the problem is lack of leadership and gangs that aren't seriously fail. And yes, I have an alt currently in the 24th doing offensive plexing in Minnie space.

All the Amarr need to do is go roam than two jumps from their home systems.

I've found that the Amarr militia like their pvp way way way more than they like plexing.

This is the underlying reason why they are losing the warzone. Minmatar have huge numbers of plexers in their ranks.

Whereas the Gal/Cal militias seem to have a fair share of both pvp and plexers (possibly more plexers for Caldari but I haven't spent a great deal of time here yet to decide.)


But losing WZ control is not failcascading depending on you POV. If you fight in FW just for the pvp then WZ control mean little to nothing, if yo fight in FW to be able to fund your pvp then WZ control means something - how much depends on your need to pad your wallet or have fleets of ships ready to reship etc.

Ever since Bolsterbomb left, the Caldari Militia have never been the same. Join Caldari and lead Drake fleets. Amarr is fine. See you on the field of battle.

Which is very similar to another thread I made but- that's just me whining and all.

This is bullshit that gets trotted out by the Amarr (and, to a much lesser extent, some Caldari) whenever they're losing hard at WZ control. There is certainly no shortage of Amarr miltia members plexing, nor is there a lack of Minmatar corps that are apathetic to the state of the warzone beyond their immediate backyard. Plexing near a major militia hub is a pretty solid way to get a small fight, and there is a substantial overlap between top killers and top VP scorers. And I promise you, there aren't any fights to be had docked up in Kamela. If you want fights, go out, do ****, and be mindful of what your opposition can field. Yeah, plexing is boring. It's why the winning side tends to backslide, since who wants to dplex all that?

Besides, winning blows. It's much easier to find fights when people are coming into your constellation, and then you don't have to deal with POSed up link alts.

if you prefer fighting when you FC then join fweddit or one of the amarr militia groups that want to pvp. your FC skils will be put to use.

if you prefer to plex then just join the militia of any of the militas and spam in channel begging for others to join.
