Wormholes

yes. and here is our recruitment ad (i hope its ok link it in this forum). MicrogangPvP!

Suspect your just ranting but anyway.


There are alot of small corps in wh space. If you enter their wormhole and they see you... they will either

a - try and kill you with their small 2-5 person gang.
b - log off or POS spin.

Depending on how scary you are or how timid they are.


What you dont see is alot of dedicated WH PvP hunter corps of the small gang size. The reason is because hunting everyday, scanning down 30-50 WHs, is incredibly draining for a small corp. Its really difficult to sustain when you only have 5 or so regular guys to do all the work.

Thats the reason why people move to bigger entites. So they dont have to scan and hunt everyday. Maybe they do it 3 days a week and the rest of the time they wait for a ping while other corp members hunt and scan. Its called sharing the load.

How do I know this -> Myself and a few people ran a dedicated small gang WH hunter corp. We were succussful and killed lots of stuff but in the end it was too time consumuing and took up our entire non work lives. That and we were probably just bad at running a corp or whatever.

In C1-4? yes. C5-6? no.

Short version:

If there's a corp like spectraliiz next door, you can expect to have much fun over the evening with many small skirmishes.
If there's a superserious PVP-CORP that's actually just a blob of carebears next door, you notice when their 5 man vangaurd consists of 2 prots, 2 guardians and a falcon.

Well, you know, if you're too lazy and can't think for yourself then sure, move to the bigger entities.

I reject the assertion there's no small gang (or indeed this apparent "microgang" crap) or it's too difficult. What EXIT does is has a critical mass of listless couch-swooners and enough discipline to rage roll for pvp. You still have to scan 50 wormholes, but it's much easier when someone else does it, and it's your static you are popping every 10 minutes. You can sit around with your headset off, waiting for the ping, while playing Fashion Assault Mew Mew Kitty.

It's also interesting, given you guys were based in Derelik, and want daytripping wormholes and spelunked out of highsec and, when not irrationally scared of lowsec like always, sometimes managed to jump gate to hothomou, that you say you got burned out. There's a massive difference between probing for 6 jumps in every direction and going down the rabbit hole a wormhole or two, and putting 50 wormholes every 3 hours onto your C4 chain.

The difference between slumming hisec and living in a wormhole is that while w-space living is annoying in it's own way, it does force you to actually do stuff. So it's all down to this: loo lazy for w-space small gang, move to k-space for w-space small gang and get too lazy for that, then join a big entity and claim it's everyone else's fault. Got it.

There is plenty of small (micro?) gang wormhole content. You just have to YOLO, jump frig holes, and treat k-space as having space cooties.

It's condescending, not raging. And being so is totally en vogue around the block, considered rude even to not be.

C6 smallscale is probably a nag, a nid, a vindicator and a sabre or something like that. Sorta like a vigilant/tornado/heroscythe skirmish group, just bigger.

To be fair we have 37 toons in corp.
