System Cyno Jammer... Well we know what went wrong there...

Attacking somewhere else while they are committed. Doesn't serve the CFC meta gaming agenda. Requires too many FCs, and too much commitment from the membership to grind multiple regions in subcaps, caps too risky if the enemy fleet breaks free.

War of attrition (Carrier fleet usually looses 1-2 each time it extracts). Too slow and boring, also doesn't fit the CFC meta gaming agenda.

Just as Sun Tzu said! Attack where the enemy is not.

All due respect to Sun Tzu, what if you're on defense?

I mean look at this last battle, -A- could have attacked all the PL assets they wanted if they could locate a soft target within PL (good luck) but they still would have lost HED-GP.

Fabian tactics dont work in a game where one JF can teleport in with no danger and resupply your whole fleet for a week.

I think I'm right in saying that not a single war in Eve was won because one side got all or most of their ships destroyed. So don't be so quick to think in terms of "how to destroy the enemy fleet?" when the problem at hand is really "how to take over their territory in such a way that they don't bother to take it back?". If you can take their territory by not ever confronting their huge fleets, you don't ever confront their huge fleets.

I think the fountain war of the CFC and Test Alliance was a war won by destroying all their ships. And what I mean by that is they could not afford combat ready ships any more. After a few battles they were flying nothing but trash and relying on their allies to help them.

Also again you have the problem of being on defense, whats the plan? make your space unappealing so maybe they wont want it?

As in many strategy games, don't let your enemy get to the point when they have this force. Murder anyone threatening your space before they can grow too big.

Great idea! Let me get in my TARDIS and go back to 2007 in order to do that . . .
