Slumming? Haven't you heard? Cal/Gal FW is small gang heaven. After the Fountain war, I'd want a break from nullsec blobmonkey boredom too.

It'll be really really interesting to see how they adapt to FW plexes, and I'm sure that iHUB bashes are gonna be a lot more exciting in the near future.


Believe me - I was kidding about us being low life's. As someone that has been part of an organization that was curb stomped in Fountain and went to low sec to die - I would never never never go back.

If they actually read up on FW mechanics and prepare for it - could be fun. Don't have high hopes, but I appreciate a lively warzone so why not?

First thing I did after getting back in Eve was tell all my old nullsec buddies "hell no!" when they asked if I wanted to come back out and play.

FW is just about the perfect blend for me. All the fun of small gang warfare, instantly available PvP, good logistics, good isk making opportunities. Zero political BS, no CTAs, no POS maintenance, no blobtastic F1 brigades, no "THIS IS OUR SPACE HURR DURR", smack talk is better, and "gf's" in local after the pew.

Just doesn't get much better than that IMO.

My question is, will the Gallente militia be able to adapt to TEST and use the WINMATAR strategy of docking up and logging off? TEST is known for being autistic and not really having a problem with welping t1 fleets, so with cheap FW ships, I doubt that Galmil strategy of PVPing will be very effective for "winning" FW like the Minmatar have.

I was planning on using the same strategy I used against Nulli tbh.

Well they pretty clearly stated that the reason they join is farming LP, so we'll just see more dualstabbed cloaky TD Condors. Difference being that instead of multiboxed plexing alts, these are mains flown by bads.

Actually TEST guys only fly rifters. They will be challenged to train into condors.

Strategy? Why not just destroy them, simple? What else needs to be done? Not like Gal pilots cannot benefit from Cal mil holding mad warzone control. Plus, I would say Test will be more inclined to ship down. Nulli pilots and most pilots in general do not like cruisers and below. They also don't like doing anything without logistics, gang links, scouts, interdictors and whatever else. Most few it as slumming it.

Test pilots are not like that for the most part but who knows v0v. Anyway, holding sov is not for their community and culture. to full of retards. So its either npc null or low sec or high sec. in any case there are pilots in TEST who are just as good as most gal mil pilots. They've had to live with pizza in fountain for a long time. There's enough of those non tard pilots to number around 400 within Dreddit. Still. Most of Dreddit is inactive. The real number of active members may be 700 or less.

They are going to get eaten alive (it happens to all 0.0 entities in fw) but the core should become a smart, well isked fast and nasty group of small gang pros. A good base to train more fc's from that have the experienced pilots to rebuild back to a 0.0 entity that's if the high command has the people skills.

Looking forward to the gf's then.

TEST should be fine. Their strengths are that they are very well organised. All of the advice on how to run sites will be made available in newbie-friendly format internally and the small fleet nature will quite suit TEST's current style. Plus they have ex-FW corp Rubella Solaris.

The weakness of TEST is that it allows each individual to do whatever they want. Actually that's both a strength and a weakness, it makes them popular as people can just join them then farm isk without ever contributing, but of course it's a weakness that they have so many people not pursuing the alliance goal.

I hope that people in TEST rally round and support the FW campaign rather than mooching off to do their own thing. The guy blowing up Hulks isn't really helping his alliance especially if they have to fight out-numbered and out-classed. It's good that the new alliance leader, SkierX, is also the campaign commander. Should increase buy-in.

The clueless Rifter pilot is a very out-of-date meme by the way. Over half of TEST members have over 50 million skill points.
