Warfare & Tactics

I like where FW is headed atm.

The plexes are getting round the clock attention, somthing of a novelty to the late US TZ, promptly provoking fights of all sizes in all classes - this is definitly a good thing.

Slowly the nessessity of having a good FC and fearing a bad, but large fight are disapating and the smaller pvp gangs picking up as well as the larger stuff. More gangs out willing to take more fights FC be damned.

FW lacked enthusiasum for a while but i think that, morale and more good fights is making things better by the day.

I cant comment directly on caldari fw of course, this is what ive obversed from amarr/minnie.

Long may it continue, and to those at ccp that might read somthing from time to time, a little is nice but more is better - dont think you are done just yet.

I don't know but this thread needs to die and new ones need to spring up in its place. You all couldn't stay on topic if it had a big pair of **** that had "touch me" tattooed on them.

It's just as much a contribution as anything in this thread. This is a thread about Caldari militia and you're posting about plexing in Amarr space and why you think it's the greatest thing since pie. Hardly relevant to what the thread's chosen topic is.

Interesting read and interesting points raised. From both sides.

I am CEO of a small corp. Few new, few old players. Seen and done most things.

Faction War seemed like a good way to pvp without growing larger and heading into 0.0 or dealing with the politics of other corps or joining an alliance. I doubt anyone would take a small corp like us anyway.

For the most part recently the faction war seemed to be enjoyed by the members of CNO. That was until Caldari were driven out of Enaluri. I am far too young in FW to know the years of history so please forgive me if I appear to be talking out of my bottom.


Isn't it and I mean FW ment to be about fun? When a game and lets remember EvE is a game stops being fun people leave. Where is the fun in 10 v 1? or 20 v 10? or working hard to take back a plex with say 8 people and spending hours getting that bunker to zero shield, working hard on the armour only to have 30+ of the enemy hungry to kill you? Is that fun? It wasn't so fun for me to waste a lot of time shooting a thing in space to be driven off.

It was fun getting shot at by a Thorax while I was in a Manticore shooting at the bunker while in fleet with 8 other ships. I knew it would happen by the way. So I re-ship and come back to shoot at the bunker again because I felt I had to do my duty and help out in getting a foot hold in what is Caldari space. It wasn't fun being driven off by those 30+ ships.

Still. I am still here.

It causes me pain to see many leave, give up and get bored of being as many say (Blobbed)

Again I know im new to FW and many might say that Caldari have done it the day of this or the day of that. OK I get it. What goes around comes around.

But now what will happen?

Yes Caldari will come back in time. How long? No idea.

For the time being I see the Gallente moving more into high sec and setting up gate camps hoping to catch FW members because not enough fleet's from Caldari are trying to take back plexs or posing for a fight.

I see Gallente having help or appear to from pirates in and around Enaluri. (Am I wrong?) Maybe Caldari have done that in the past? I don't know.


Is all of this fun? I cannot abide sitting at gates for very long.

I cannot imagine finding that fun in any sec as 10 or more catching one litle fish now and then?

Maybe I am just a different breed with different morals and a different idea of what fun is?

OK now I turn into a ramble.

Point is it will turn around. People come, people go. But it will come back and who knows it might be FUN again one day.

Most of the pirates that are/were active in Enaluri are not friendly Gallente.

The perceived blob during the US TZ at least is generally free roaming players that just pay attention to intel channels, and keep a fairly decent stock of ships on hand for all kinds of engagements. When a target is spotted, we rally and see if we have the ships/numbers to counter, sometimes this means all kinds of people come out of the woodwork and we end up with more members than expected.

Well, militia channel tends to have more gallente troll alts than proper human beings so that's hard to get by. You know, the old character who is still an ensign in rank and has 0 kills on any board and spends his time openly boasting he is a spy or asking for shuttle fits...

Playing Eve teaches you a lot about your fellow man does it not? Mittani put it best in his recent article where Eve players either become bozos or brownshirts, unless they do the reasonable thing and run for the exit, never to return.

Not that I'm against forum flaming, but who are you exactly? I don't ever remember killing you. And you don't ever appear to have been in either militia. Are you counting I-RED (the Caldari RP Alliance that fights for the Galente...)??

I feel like we need to get people to post their FW credentials..."I was in FW in 2007 for 3 months therefore..."

MMMMMM I <3 holiday time at work, there is nothing to do but browse forums!

It might be time for 'scheduled frig fights' kinda thing.

Then the squids would get a chance for some sort of even fight and nobody risks too much.

In other words, attempt to get people to humiliate themselves publicly by accepting something as moronic as agreed duels while you boast "am I not merciful for giving them a chance" in these forums?

Hopefully the next expansion, "War", will have something for FW in it that will attract some new blood to FW. Until then, FW is still the best place to be if you live in lowsec.


In response to Dark's post: I'm Andre, I've been in Gall Mill for about 3 years. You may never see me, but I'm there in my Helios watching you, waiting.
