Warfare & Tactics

*shrug* don't be an utter waste of biomass. Take your losses like a man/woman. Understand that capsuleers will use anything and everything to their advantage. Not everyone can be a pro pilot. I tend to stick to this mindset, it's make for a lot less stress when someone makes a mistake, or when I myself do so.

We help our friends when they get into trouble and this why a lot of neutrals actually like us. It's great because people see a Minmatar Militia corp forming up to fight them and think we are a pushover. 1 hour later and after we have taken 36 Mil in losses but dealt 3 Billion in ISK kills people get a nasty surprise :)

Be afraid of militias - they are not afraid to lose ships and can make T1 hulls go far.

Minmatar Militia - 'We come for our people!'

For me it´s my CEO and my fellow instructors. She simply works hard and keeps our morale and fighting spirit up while encouraging us to step up. Besides that I stick close to the prussian military tradtions of my family/ancestors. They don´t really fit in todays real life and some of them might be questionable but discipline, loyality, honour with the "military" above everything and being in attendance to sacrifice myself and everyone below for an operational success pretty much sums it up.
I have nothing but disrespect for those who doesn´t understand that but sometimes be forced to swallow this feelings because of diplomatic farts but usually I open my mouth at least once to keep the diplos job.

BTW, Sniggwaffe is back in Kinakka. Force of nature, these guys.

Nothing to see here. Move along....

Ahem... bringing thread back on topic. Clearly the Gallente are best exemplified by great President of the Federation Arlette Villers. CE 23154.6.2 -
"The Federation is not a defined region of space, of planets, of mountains, rivers, or woods. It is a vision."

Pyre Falcon is a Caldari loyalist corp fighting for the Amarr Milita in the Amarr/Min matar war zone with quite a few pirate faction loyalist RP players and non RPers... Our ideals are Kestrels....lots and lots of Kestrels.

I am used to method where junta discuss about situation and makes things to happen.

i think faction warfare is pretty much the bleeding edge of hardcore pvp. literally every single corp is the best corp in the game and the number of top 10 pilots is in the high thousands.

I represent the ideals of my corporation, and only my corporation.

Although I am capable of PvP personally, you will rarely find me flying a combat ship. I spend many hours each week transporting items that the people who do truly engage in PvP require, so that they can spend more time doing what they are best at. I build hundreds of ships, and move millions in minerals to produce them, so that PvPers have a hull to build upon.

Although I have acquired vast amounts of knowledge regarding the game and it's mechanics, you will rarely find me putting them to use. Instead, I spend more time answering more questions others have regarding them.. while I am moving things around the universe or building them.

Although I view each pilot in FW as the most important; as you cannot take systems without PvPers, as you cannot hold systems without unfit or stabbed plexers, as you cannot cover all timezones as one individual, as you cannot win a war without an army. Although I view myself often as the least important piece to the puzzle, I do sometimes make my presence known.

Although one person FCing makes little difference in the grand scheme (and as any gains can surely be invalidated over time) I make myself known when a system is highly enough contested (based on the work of others) as a FC who welcomes the entire Militia into his fleet, including spies and newer players who would often not get a chance to fly with the fleet in those situations. If I happen to find out who the enemy FC is, I'm likely the only one who will call the enemy FC as the last target, because I want my fleet to know that we won not only the battle, but took the system, by our merits as a fleet and Militia and not by focusing the only person in the fleet who can hold together 70 people who have never flown together. We can do it all against an opponent who knows exactly what the FC is calling for, because my opponents are seldom going to offer the same courtesy of allowing spies that I do (nor would I choose to use them).

I will keep my fleet on the field knowing the losses that would be taken when the enemy drops 4 carriers on us, and I will sacrifice my ship first, because we will accomplish our goal regardless of their actions, against all odds (though don't expect me to sacrifice my pilots ships for no reason, ever).

I will only be able to express myself in these manners at great expense of energy and require lots of time to recoup in the meantime, or when drunk, as now (lots of commas and parentheses eh :)

I will do everything I can to try and make the most impact towards my entire Militia coming together as a unified group to accomplish one goal, to take the entirety of the warzone back from Amarr control, and fight for every system we take to meet that end.

Yes, many in galmill share your belief that the idea of squids showing any initiative is akin to paranoid conspiracy.

Yet we have to base decisions around the assumption our enemy is competent and could develop a strategic sense of timing, or have the ability to do something offensively at any moment.

That way we can stay pleasantly bewildered at what Calmill actually does, yet resting assured that we at least can spend a whole year in the warzone without being kicked out
