Warfare & Tactics

From the Gallente perspective, two Caldari alliances stand out as competent and relatively drama free (the latter isn't saying much for the Caldari militia :) )

Caldari State Capturing
Templis Dragonaors

Hell no.

There are also other decent alliances in caldari mil (one i'm in i.e )
If your corp has good FC's then its just a matter of joining an alliance with enough members who can follow fleet orders, decide on a specific doctrine and ask members to have the specific ships ready on time for ops.. If it goes well then ppl will keep on coming :)

The biggest thing that's missing from caldari mil imo are organized fleets with proper FC's.. Then again its also important to have members who are willing to plex solo to hold/capture systems if you want to actually turn the tide

They are good for fighting over home systems.

We have the FC's:
It's just getting motivated to undock and to tie yourself to the computer for an hour or two and not be interrupted that is the issue.

I suggest you focus on improving and relying on yourself, friends and corporation. Otherwise you'll be weak and be dependent on politics (diplomacy), cult of personalities (Fleet Commanders) and even the slightest amount of difficulty.

With that said.

The Caldari militia is full of terribubble pilots and leaders who gather together like flies on sh!t. I honestly don't know why they congregate in such numbers in the Caldari militia. They have bad habits that has not and may never changed. They even propagate those habbits to new pilots. Well to be honest. Most of the pilots and leaders in this game have the same habits.

role-play on***REAL Caldari are not so weak. We lack numbers compared to the other empires, but we overcome size with wits, tenacity etc***role-play off

The few leaders and pilots who are worth mentioning are successful no matter the condition of factional warfare, battles, wars and losses. These entities and pilots tend to be small because there's a lack of hand holding and incompetence. While the larger entities are full of ret@rds.

Anyway. As a wise douche once said "**** with golden sprinkles placed on it, is still sh!t".

Note: I hope these comments are taken as is. I like to be honest instead of cordial. The things that make someone a good friend doesn't necessarily make them competent and or rugged (battle tested and hardened). Which is something you need to be successful in combat.

This may not ever get threw to most who read this, but some players may learn from these comments and will be better for it. There's more context but I decided to simplify, as I tend to do.


TLDR: stay away from the large alliances. Find and fly with the corporations and pilots who are successful and learn from them. MIND YOU. The above only matters if you want to be successful in terms of combat. Otherwise, just chill and don't worry about anything. Log on circle jerk, laugh and make bread.

Pretty much this. Majority of us are willing to take a fleet out, except real life beckons.

But he said he wanted to fly in the Caldari militia..... /rimshot

borg are awoxers so ...

Not gonna bother much with the borg are awoxers bit.. Just look at our killboards and judge for yourselves.

As for organized fleets, your right. They have nearly 0 contribution to "winning" FW other than bashing/defending an Ihub (bashing can be done with a small gang of OG carriers during the dead hours) or drive plexers/deplexers
They are however good for moral to have fun roams where you improve your KB and members have fun welping enemy fleets.

The way to "win" fw is by having your corp/alliance members focus on plexing a specific system with small groups/solo throughout the day and not with a fleet of 60ppl (plexing with 60 ppl together is **** LP and gets very old very fast)

Regarding that mittani article, not sure what was the point of a "push" with a fleet of BS/BC? You might get good kills but taking a system is through the small/novice plexes.
