Warfare & Tactics

Following the plex spawning changes in the Crucible expansion (i.e. plexes spawn throughout the day, instead of after downtime), it seems that Factional Warfare is steadily reawakening...

The Minmatar took Huola (the main Amarr staging system) last week, and the battle was on this weekend for the Amarr to retake it.

Damar Racarion, the ex-PERVS plexing dude from the Caldari militia, started off the fun by leading a post-downtime fleet that captured a load of plexes in Huola, Auga, Dal and around throughout the weekend.

All the main Amarr corps (Wolfsbrigate, Zero Heavy Industries, Seraphim Rising, SBA, TMFED) where there in good numbers.

Houla eventually went vulnerable, and a big fleet pounded the bunker until it fell, and the Amarr retook the system.

Yes

Do not credit me. It was mainly Nephilim Xeno, Flyinghotpocket and others who kept pressure in Huola. I plexed a lot in Dal to keep Sasawong and other war targets busy (who always delivered the mighty blob) so others could work elsewhere with better odds.

Eventually we had big fleet up in Dal and minmatar didnt fight anymore. So in the fleet we came up with idea of "lets retake Huola" (since it was already heavily contested) and First General took fleet to Huola while I stayed in Dal and plexed there (and 10+ war targets were forced to keep an eye on me).

Camps were set on all gates, people designated to run plexes and things went smoothly. Matar formed a counter fleet, Wolfsbrigade killed it (I was supposed to be there but was fighting over minor plex in Dal) and eventually system turned vulnerable.

Bunker was buster (Matar could not secure medium plex in Huola to halt the bust). After this fleet went to chase matars from major plex in Dal and eventually managed to surprise them in Siseide and kill them in quite one-sided match.

So all in all, it was excellent team effort and cooperation from whole Amarr militia. Yes, lots of waiting around happened but some pretty good fights were had, especially the slugfest over a medium plex in Dal. My personal score for the day was being in 26 killmails and losing 5 shps (1 navy caracal for being too cocky and one hookbill to well executed ambush, others were in proper stand-up fights)

We'll see how things go next weekend (I can already reveal I will be somewhat busy monday-friday so dont expect me to go plexing that much).

Amarr Victor!*

*or D'Amarr Victor as some people smacked in Huola local

P.S: Amarr NPCs re still pretty awful...

I wonder what the stats are with kills in and around plexes since Crucible? I know that the last 4-5 days I've been on, there's been enemy ships in/around systems I'm plexing in and I have gotten more small fights than the whole time plexing before crucible.

Congrats on ya'lls conquests. It makes FW more exciting to have progress made. Even if it's the enemy doing it.

I don't think the intent was ever to hang on to Huola. Just to prove we could do it.

Also, Huola was taken by essentially 4 or 5 people (Silence and Anya Sulli mostly) while it took the entire might of the Amarr Militia to recapture it. So, yeah. vOv

Also, you should drop Revelations out of range of our lone Triage more often, but don't self-destruct them in shame next time. Kthxbai.

Its so funny that hotpockets tried to talk it down.
Meanwhile hotpockets convoing every man and his dog trying to undo what a few alts did afk over 2 days.

Nothing like false modesty. The smell of ejizz is strong in this thread.

You fail to take into account the fact people will be pissed off when it is pointed to them that they quite often lose ships to a person who, according to multiple eyewitness accounts from frog militia, flies t1 frigates which are always equipped with warp core stabs and cloaking devices

Tldr: Weirdo.

I think (Im hoping its a conscious decision) he is trying to 'make a name' for himself as resident provincial a55hat (Op success). A bit like Miila from Rens. Uncanny narcissim parallels, maybe they are RL related? Who knows? Who cares? All i know is I wouldnt leave kids with either of them.

Should also say that hes great for laughing at, and also that hes quite a good solo kiter. Capable.

Just to say, Auga's been taken by around 4/5 guys plexing.
:Because we can:


Anyway, Continue with pointless and useless arguing about pointless and useless game mechanics. ^^
