We're a rookie corp in frigates and everyone got excited for BIG FITE. Now there's just one or two of 'em sitting in BCs outside a station. So we can't really mine, and we can't really fight. How boring.

Swamp them with frigates, BCs usually have a hard time hitting frigs. You might not kill them, but you'll have a giggle trying.

In the beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

Welcome to highsec "wars". Yes, this is how it is, and this is why I fled to nullsec as soon as I could find a way to do so.

How is that boring? They're the ones waiting for you to bring the fight.

Well, we go out and roam in frigates, but there's not a lot of fights that our 3 or 4 t1 frigates can engage in. So, we wait for them to get in ships that we can fight. But why would they do that? So everyone just sits where they are.

Yeah 3 or 4 newbie frigs probably won't stand up to two BCs.


Wait until there is only one of them, then undock and swarm him.

Make sure you guys use tracking disruption and kill his drones.

Nah dude you missed the point. I'm saying you guys ****** up in targets. We were really excited for a fight. Then the timer rolls around, 24 hours are up, 5 of us are waiting in a gang and..... nothing. I log in today, we get a small group going, we're out in frigates and you guys have 4 BCs. We can't fight that. So, okay, you're bigger than us. What do you do with all that strength? You can't extort us, we're rookies. You have overwhelming force and nothing to do with it. All it does is make the game boring on both sides.

If you want some excitement, sell your mining barge and take up a career in making people upset. Especially people who have the weight to back their words.

Oh god.

Why Aren't you asking for war allies? Allies could cause pressure for your enemies.
Why haven't you placed bounty on your enemies? Bounty could cause pressure for your enemies.

How many corps is this wardeccing corp at war with? Or is it just you guys? If theres others, message them and ask them to come to your system amd combine your efforts, your corp alone has 30something members. Combine all online players from your corp with the other wardec'd corps and go play wack a mole...Big smile

It's human nature to want to explore. To find your line and go beyond it. The only limit, is the one you set yourself.

1. there are lots of things you can do ... get a neutral alt(s) in a Stabber(s) to bump them off station (assuming it's a kick out station).

2. If they are fighting on a non-kickout station, move your base to a kickout station and let them come to you, go to 1.

Yea, war decs need some work. This coming from someone who ran a small war deccing corp for months. I'm not saying I have the answer, but something needs to change.

This feels like the kind of post that is part of a surrender offer.

Kind of a throwback to pod or posts.
