I'm in a null sec coalition so generally you have to wait to ops (at times that aren't very convenient to you) travel over 50 jumps and deal with jump clone timers. Bankrupt yourself getting a useable ship for the fleet (often tweaking official doctrines to because you don't have t2 guns) then wait for 5 minutes before moving off, only to die in 15 minutes and get podded back those 50 jumps without getting on any KMs.

I mean when there is a neut in the pocket I'm ready and willing to jump into a HD ship and take them on but if its an op my general reaction is do I have to? Because I have to go though all of that while I could be doing something productive in the same time. Or at the very least checking my PI.

Does anyone else find themselves in the same situation?

Sounds like you are in an alliance with crap tactics, a "throw ships into a meat grinder" approach and then expect you to pay for your own ships.

Leave them. There are better organizations out there.


It's more likely he's just incapable of following orders which makes him die - combined with him 'tweaking' doctrine ships which will make him not-eligible for whatever SRP program his alliance runs.

I made my own little NPSI fleet last night and despite us being a little ragtag fleet of max 8 people whom have never flown together and we had 1 person who never ever pvped before. We still managed to kill more than our worth.

So... your catalysts ganked a hulk?


Nahh. I leave that to the Code. I don't want them to ragequit just because they get competition.

Ah, let's take a look at the secret forums and see who has the latest hilarious "you are denied reimbursement" reimbursement request.

Occasionally it gets broadcast to all-all, as a reminder that terrible fits not only get denied (which they always are) but occasionally you may get broadcast to all-all, so everyone else remembers that terrible fits get denied.

We welcome competition but when we discover other gankers we typically find they don't know what they're doing. When we find a good one usually they come work for us.

Me, while I'm not a super dedicated pvp type, i like fleet fights and despite my bad luck (why oh WHY did I make a pvp main with a name that starts with a C, also screw enemy FCs why use the alphabet for target calling) I keep coming back. I should get "F1 Monkey" tattoo'd on my left ass cheek or something.


C? I'd kill for a name starting with a C! Some people don't know they're born.

It has been said before, go to low-sec to do pvp.
If you really care a lot about making ISK, go do FW.

If you just want to have fun, just do lowsec pvp (in FW space without being in FW) in frigs/dessies/cruisers. It's a low cost / high fun factor way of playing in my opinion.
There are loads of corps in lowsec hanging around being friendly with eachother but still shooting eachother for the sport of it.

Ofc you have the less friendly people but ok. Those are everywhere Blink
