Warfare & Tactics

Dear Warfare and Tactics

I am saddened to tell you that Iron Oxide have dropped from the TLF. It has become apparent that we cannot hope to hold Huola and so we are bowing out from the fight. We may well come back to the TLF at some point but for now we will be going pirate. Friendly entities are invited to arrange blues.

Thanks to everyone we have fought alongside and well done to the Amarr. I hope you will appreciate that without tz presence after LNA left and the Periphery went we were kind of screwed. Added to which however we have faced a competent foe who has brought a few decent fights along the way. No bitterness on our side there.

We're pretty tired right now and will be looking to spend time with our families during this difficult period. I hope you will respect our privacy on this matter.

Much love

David Devant

We enjoyed fighting along side with you, and wish you nothing but the best in your future.

It's a shame to see Fe0 leave as well, sincere apologies if us leaving hastened that :(

FW was a great run for the last 5 years, but the meta has been changing slowly all the while and frig-on-frig PvP didn't secure strategic objectives, at least not for RIFT. I fondly recall to noob recruits a time when BS brawls on gates were "a thing" in FW low-sec. A time when hotdropping wasn't prevalent and we could actually use our own capitals. Needless to say, hotdropping, especially in this warzone, among other things, really reduced things to just frig-on-frig.

Looking to bring back some of the old fun :)

sad to see you leave FW

theres always a time for a comeback...well

and if not, can i have your stuff???

Good Hunting to you, FeO.

I'm sure with such an awesome collection of pilots and competence, you'll raise hell where ever you decide to go.

Agreed. It is good that members of militias with the current upperhand make posts like this. I feel the same way sitting in the presently on top Galmil. The FW tier system needs some more tweaking.

That and more attention has to be paid to faction ship balancing again. I'm sure the desire to supply the NApoc demand is helping the Amarr militia attract farmers with the in-game tier 4 benefit as it is.

So are you staying in the min/amarr warzone?

Yeh, we'll be staying around.

@Bienator - Sorry! We had big bout of soul searching as Kourmonen crumbled. But it was apparent to us that even if we could muster a decent response in our peak hours we were leaving about 20 hours of uncontested plexing. As it is we can't get more than 20 active pilots in a fleet on a week night so even that point is moot. It is literally only our alliance who are left to defend the system with a couple of helping hands whereas the Amarr have a reasonable coalition and Death by Design on standby. We'll still try and kill you wherever possible if that makes you feel any better?

The last truely epic fleet fight we had was in sisede where it escalted into alot of capitals... anyone else remember that??

Anyways since then it's been a bunch of fire crackrs that fizzled out... most notable was ESZUR, but they left fw and walked away with out a fight..

everyone in FW... im calling you ALL pussies (Amarr is included equally as amarr in this)

man the f**k up, fly with out ecm, fly with out logistics!

remember the old BC roams... no tackle, no ecm, no logi -- just goo simple cheap fun!

too bad people care so much about their KB stats

Last fight I had in FW was against tiktok and a couple others in their linked/boosted thingies. Savesti was there as well in her vexor. Lost 2 (or 3?) ships overall, but it was fun and Savesti was a generous soul. All the best to FeO. Solar winds at your back, mates!
