Has Caldari ever been competetive in the Gal/Cal warzone? I'll admit that I haven't ever followed FW that closely, but I've never seen them do anything but roll over and die between bouts of killing one another in repeated civil wars.

So the squids starting appearing all over the war zone and we're finally getting numbers, and I say very lightly, some confidence to fight. Waffles comes back and after one to two days all the squids are gone like leaves scattered in the wind. The biologist are saying this is a sever epidemic that could have left the squids once again in the endangered species list.

All jokes aside, what happened to all the squid entities. You guys were finally getting together, making friends, and starting to actually support one another. Now, I'm lucky to find a solid number of you guys out and about...WTB pew pew that isn't just pirate groups



In no particular order

1. RL Summertime for most of our members so attendance is down (World Cup, Vacations etc etc.)
2. Those that are here are finding it increasingly difficult to earn isk in FW due to the last changes, as the Galls hold most (if not all) of the FW mission hubs and to quote Crosi "The pendulum was removed last patch" which especially with reduced numbers (see 1.) means we have little realistic chances of getting any of them back anytime soon means many of those that are still here are now off on alts in Null or Incursion fleets.
3. When we do manage to get Frig/Dessie/Cruiser fleets or gangs together , lately you have been countering with T2 Hac's and Logi's. We currently cannot compete with these, not that we don't want to but 80% of Calmil don't have the SP to even get in them. Its something were addressing but it is going to take a considerable time to rectify.

TL;DR If you 'WTB more pew pew' as you put it bring out stuff thats comparable to what we can field at present and we will fight you all day long.



Galmil has been in tier 1 collectively significantly longer than any other faction and as you can see we have no problem fielding the vast number of doctrine ships and more recently our AHAC and T2 fleets. ISK shouldn't be a problem even at tier 1. Welcome to the real world Blink

With respect to our AHAC fleets. It took us a long time to get them out in numbers. We're fielding them to fight the local pirate groups and attracting more groups to the area. That's happening because there are no more squids to be found, at least not in the AU timezone. P.S. I hear eagles are pretty good and I would assume most of your pilots have Caldari cruiser 5.



Lolol

Yes, lets field 300 dps eagles against curators. Thats great idea!!


Sounds swell to me ;)

Well, 7th time lucky i guess, RZR finally score some kills against us. Though after mira called in RZR, RZR did have to call in the rest of the CFC lol. GF goons.

Perhaps we should get in touch with Gevlon Goblin and see if he wants to offer GalMIl some kind of financial reward, seeing as we are fighting goons as well as squids now. :)

a long time ago in a warzone far . . well not far away

Anyway a few years ago under some fw war protocols much different, there ruled a caldari hero named Damar who loved the lazy CCP after downtime respawn mechanics . . but for the rest of that story you will have to ask people more elderly than I.

As for their present sorry state, never fear. You see there is always some failed nullsec entity with no imagination that figures Calmil is a ticket to whatever, since there is easy access to Jita and they already have a decent Caldari standing. Standings because their membership probably ran buttloads of Caldari missions anyway.

The newest candidate appears to be Razor. Probably bored silly from the blue donut, and naturally lacking any imagination, they appear to be gravitating into Calmil buttbuddy status, or vice versa. I can't figure out who's on top. So they may be able to leverage that hotdrop ability into some warzone rehabilitation. We shall see. Certainly the chances for more Asakai fuckfests have increased with this latest nullsec intrusion into FW.P

CCP, there are off buttons for ship explosions, missile effects, turret effects, etc. "Immersion" does not seem to be harmed by those. So, [u]please[/u] give us a persisting off button for the jump gate and autoscan visuals.

So much anger about calmil being assisted by neutrals... And a large amount of this frustration is coming from JUSTK, who are in bed with PL and Exodus

I dont think anyone in gal mil is angry. Mostly watching with curiosity at these events. It was already clear that every single BC/BS fleet from mira has RZR support, and indeed we were holding field vs squids and RZR no problem. Now it is clear that RZR will call goons to kill a 35 man fleet and drop over 150 more people. So we just have to change strategy.

Unfortunately, the only strategy left is kicking squids out of low sec once more. And with no pendulum expect to be there for quite a while if thats the direction we go.

Oh yes, please look through our killboard and tell me more about how we're in bed with Waffles and Exodus.

I'm fairly certain that we kill more Waffles than Squids these days... at least they actually come out to play.

And freaking Exodus welped a galmil AHAC fleet just today, far more effectively than you guys have ever managed.

Lol angry? i lost a cap an laughed my ass off on coms because of how fail cals and rzr are and the fact that they had to call in rest of cfc when there **** was getting pushed in...

So now you can thank Mira when we push you guys outa ur home AGAIN after wed agreed to let u guys grow but using rzr for erry big engagement u guys wont learn or grow. (so consider this the rolled up newspaper treatment "BAD CAL MIL" whack)

Also about exodus u do realise 2 hrs after the akidagi fight we were balls deep fighting them in reschard/mercomiser so please tell me again how were in bed with each other

Amazing what happens when you blue up everyone and their unborn sister....

I'm sure someone will correct me on this but I'm pretty sure Galmil owns more space percentage wise for the gal/cal warzone theater vs goons owning the nullsec theatre? So yeah pretty sure it's our warzone.

Not really a batphone when it's a reliable drop in every major engagement over the last few weeks, but whatev. I'm just wondering when RZR will just join CalMil for real, maybe then they'll start taking some systems back.

Bizarrely implying that regular CalMil corps had any control at all over, or responsibility for, the decisions of either TEST or EVOKE to join FW.

Also conveniently ignoring the fact that most current members of the militia were not around when EVOKE was and that half of the major CalMil organisations didn’t exist then. Just because GalMil has a long-standing and stable membership base, such that it’s reasonable to identify GalMil then with GalMil now, doesn’t mean the same is true on the Caldari side.

Look, we get it. You’re bitter that you got your asses handed to you when you’re used to having things your own way but you know as well as I do that a wild Razor fleet appearing in the warzone very occasionally and at the behest of one corp has a) no strategic impact whatsoever, and b) says nothing at all about the nature or state of CalMil as a whole.

Not strictly true. You lost Innia because of falcon. I wont go into the short story but any choice you make, even in the smallest engagements canl have a ripple effect.

I'm just confused why the caldari militia is batphoning razor on snuffbox when we're trying to cozy up to the caldari in anticipation of us joining the caldari militia. What?

What ever happened to space-honour?

(Also, I don't think caldari have been a serious competitor vs other lowsec entities since wolfsbrigade left in 2011.)
