Faction Warfare Space. (No Warfare about it.)

Currently, In Amarr/Minni FW space, I've been activly looking for a fight for the last 5 hours.
So far I've come across two types of ship.
Stealth-bombers, and Frigates.

Now the first, I'm fine with them running away, They are in the wrong type of ship and easy prey for my Slicers. And to chase them into their sites is a very hit and miss thing. However in the last five hours I've gone into double digits of how many Mission runners have seemingly lost their way through high-sec and are trying to care-bear their way through low. It's a little frustrating when these jokes of resistance are the only faction warfare people that I have found in the last five hours, that have fit any form of offensive armament on their vessels.

The T1 frigates are sitting in novice plexes, In combat ships that look like they are ready for a fight, entering into a novice plex as a Solo Tormentor, up against a fed navy comet, your heart gets going, you start to think of the opening moves, burns in, out, range control ext.
...only to find this faction frig is 200k of the warp in, Stabs in every slot, and not committing to be on the same grid as you.

This is all i've found in the last five ours. All the time, I see nobody in this lowsec FW corp wise who deserves to be here.

I challenge you to say otherwise. FW is dead

Solo T1 frigates should be expected to find fights in their entire game night, doing nothing but looking for one. The activity in Bleak lands is just pathetic individuals who need to learn that Stabilisers are to be taken off at low sec gates, and if they are going to do nothing but farm, do it in a non combat ship to stop fustrating and ****-blocking real pilots of 'good fights'

That's an awful lot of words just to say the same old FW plex farmer whine.





Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Use your map filter to find the contested systems with active fighting. Anyeay, I think the Amarr quit trying to chase down the farmmatars long ago.

Here is your problem, change ships and more people will be willing to fight you.

Welcome to Tier 4.

In the slightly better Cal/Gal war zone, we have little trouble finding fights.

You need to use a ship everyone thinks they can beat......my suggestion is.....a venture.

Non-faction hulls help a little bit.

The key is to look like easy pickings.

Surprisingly I get a good number of fights in an rff.

Well, if there was a Whine God, his altar would be overfull at this point.

It would be a little odd, "Dear Lord, why won't you accept my whines about the whines I dedicate in your honour? You promised, Lord! Cry"

I am amused that there are so many whiners and complainers here that my declaration of a challenge is taken as whining.

Of the Gods, I would say Athena, a wise warrior.

However, the mortals intrigue me, Odysseus' cunning, Ajax's valour (beating Hector to a draw), Teucer's loyalty but who can forget Eris, who was the catalyst for both the Illiad and the Odessey?
Unfortunately, I find that I identify with Cassandra all too frequently.

I can't really blame the fw farmer. There is no reason for them to fight and no draw back for not engaging.

That being said, it's not impossible to kill them. I find that stabs on their ships gives them a huge ego two thirds of the time.

If you can't figure out what to do with that info... Then sorry? I won't give away that tactic to the public in plain text.

Happy hunting ;)

This my friends is further proof that the cal/gal WZ is infinitely superior to amarr/min.

Wait... so you're a neutral complaining that you aren't getting fights in a warzone.... Maybe YOU should grow a pair and join a faction. Why would someone concerned with fighting in FW engage a neutral? All they get out of it is a sec hit. We have good fights every day but don't waste our time on neuts for multiple reasons. You wanna talk a bout willingness to take fights yet you remain neutral so you can choose where you get yours? Neuts like you are nothing but a hassle in FW. You want fights pick a team. Don't stand on the sidelines and try to start one with every pilot who flys by so long as it's on your terms. Fights in FW come to people who are... wait for it.... working towards FW goals. It's a warzone for FS not a duel zone.

I'm way too tired, have had too much wine and my head hurts too much to even figure out your angle right now. Straight
Moral of the story is, you want war don't be a civilian.
Good night. Blink

Just stating you mentioned the obvious that I think most missed, that he is not actually in fw, just trying to solo pirate. Which is fine in itself, but a pirate shouldn't expect fw players to eagerly engage them, nor do pirates have access to intel that the fw provides. Maybe I should start looking into this wine stuff.
