Warfare & Tactics

Uhmmm.. we took over every last one of your systems, then held them for almost a year. Come back on this thread and post when you have managed to do the same.

Your concept of time is somewhat lacking, it wasn't that long.

how long it was then?

Fighting a Griffin with no ECCM= death. Glad to fight ya though!!

Closer to 7-8 months at most. I started playing EVE in July 09 and there were a few systems left to fall, come the new year PERVS went off to fail in Amarr/Matari F-War which left Gallente systems open to be retaken.

Almost a year would be 10 1/2 - 11 months, wasn't near that.

PERVS offence in minmatar was not really reason why gallente took systems back, it was plex spawning change that made it impossible to defend all conquered systems.

As you see current change made it also hard to defend your own sov systems too. I think that current system is better than any earlier, it makes possible to have constant 23/7 action so it is not dependable on some specific timezone.

Caldari is loosing systems because gallente has still all those bitter old veterans who want to make 1-1 on this war, sad part is that most of caldari plexing veterans left militia years ago so not many left to counter.

Personally i have not much interest to come back, last time we took all systems and controlled those long time. So if we gather some good pvp group and start to take systems back i afraid that war will be over again fast and plain pve remains. FW was originally ment for new players to learn pvp, i do not feel that i am new player anymore

I agree ,Current system is fine.only change I would like to see is Sov change to go along with Occupancy, or at least to have a militia lose docking rights in systems that belong to enemy.CCP should institute that change, especially if they want to get people ready for 0.0, start instituting the most basic part of the mechanic and see if the militias can do anything with it to make money off the systems, and if they can, fine, then FW has a purpose beyond button spinning, if not, then maybe people might want to go somewhere they can actually do something with Sov, like 0.0.

I understand you are not a new player, but I still think it would be a blast to kick Gallente out of Heyd , Vlil, and a few other systems they hold, and deny them docking rights there.I also think such changes would have a spillover effect to how effective they would be at plexing.Perhaps I am wrong, but I think if docking rights were at risk then fights would have more at stake, and would be more frequent and sharper, at a minimum.When people have something tangible at risk then they may become more active and vested in it.

You're right I stand corrected.

The way things are though with the Caldari simply not having enough interested pilots defending, it may well be a reversal of the end scenario under the previous system. Which will probably lead to yet another change or two in future.



Not everyone had to repeatedly poke CCP for their medal y'know: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1098959&page=3


Speaking from a neutral point medals are irrelevant, I just hope the Feds hold FW long enough for Heth to be replaced with something more interesting than a 1 dimensional character.

What's the current system count, as far as Cal vs Gallente?I don't have the game installed on this machine so I cant check.

Myself, I think once it gets close to Gallente taking all of them then I would expect to see a counter offensive.Bear in mind this is less than a month after the plex changes, I wouldn't draw any conclusions on anything right now, least of all Caldari rolling over and dying.

That's probably the main point, that Gallente are talking like they have already won all the systems and are asking for a medal. All I'm saying is take them all first, then wait 6 months for a medal like we had to.Point is, take them and hold them long enough so that it's apparent to everyone they aren't gonna be retaken anytime soon. That was the situation we had last time.

Myself I don't think Caldari will let you take them all, and if they do I dont think they will let you hold them for any length of time.
Declaring a Gallente win right now seems premature to say the least.

I can tell you for my part i dont plex, have no intention of plexing, but if it looks like gallente will take them all, then I will plex to stop it.It's true, the medal means nothing, isn't important to me, except when someoen else says it means nothing, then it's suddenly quite important, inasmuch as I'm glad I have mine and have no intention of letting you get yours.Silly, I know, but it's a game after all anyway, and only holds what meaning we attach to it.

If attaching meaning to something meaningless makes my game more fun, well, then, good for me, is how I see it.When it starts to matter you will see people start coming out of the woodwork.I may be one of them.

Bottom line-my tribe, Yay!!, your tribe, Booo!!

this thread is a little too serious (or maybe butthurt?). It's boring me. I miss hidden snake trolling threads with witty one liners like "Your tears fuel me" "Frogs are just mad cuz you can't blob our cloaked ships", etc.
