Eh, it's not a thing to me, really. It was a good way to learn the new warfare-style, but really, they've never done anything to us, and they're pretty far from home.


Careful, citizen... those are seditious words I hear!

Well, honestly, while the campaign was entertaining - and I was very pleased with the performance of our group, CVA is not a threat to us - and as such, we have no business in torching that territory.

While I feel habitual chaos is an effective fighting force, it is very different from fighting the mercs of the Multicultural F1 Brigade. I daresay that with them in the Amarr Milita we would not be where we are today. Things are only going to get more Interesting as fewer systems lead a stronger defence.

As to the original poster, if you don't want to fly with -HB- and you don't want to be on the right side of history and be with the TLF, then remember nothing stops you from making your own corproation. I can say, getting to fly with Khushakor Clan as a very new entity and help it grow have been very rewarding to me.

Ignore the propoganda and wolf in sheep clothing posts here.

The militia is changing. Alliances are changing. What is not changing is that the Minmatar have never earnt a medal.

The Amarr militia is odd. Their idea of small gang is about five ships, not fifty. And they look at me funny when I bring an Oneiros.

Welcome to privateer land. Our idea of 'small' actually means 'small'.

It's time to get unspoiled from all those times you spent in null.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

But that would mean she would actually have to learn to pilot a ship on her own without any orders.

She's mainly a logi pilot right? Don't they have to be at least slightly competent, even on the massive block fleet level? They may not need to know how to spiral or orbit without assistance but they still have to know how to stay within a cap chain or maintain distances with their fleet and the opponents fleet. Not exactly a novice friendly position if you ask me...

Stop bringing logic into the hate hour.

As much as I'd love to dogpile on the Grr Null pilot agenda, Ms Vea showed her capabilities at the Amarr Championships.

Now, to the OP, might I recommend looking at the 'other' alliance in the Militia, the Praetorians?

Alternately, we could send SMA over to help the TLF and EXE to the 24IC...

Well..... We wouldn't want EXE to have the joys of a deployment, logistics, moving caps, ect. They don't have to go for the 24ic, if they really wanna go, they could do a joint deployment with SMA to the TLF...

Alizabeth Vea is one of the most capable logistics pilots and anchors that I've ever had the pleasure of working with - and for. In addition to the personal piloting skills she displayed in the Succession Trials, she's proven herself able to maintain her cool and keep the pilots under her direction focused and effective in prolonged, heavy fighting. There are very few people I'd trust to watch over me as readily. She's probably one of the top five in the cluster at what we do.

Then how would we cheaply supply Imperial Navy Remote Capacitor Transmitters?

given the number of them we'd need to be comfortable mandating their use, we'd really need a more direct supply line. And, while the Republic Fleet has some rather nice toys of their own, unfortunately the one really useful thing for us has been supplanted by developments in the Great Wildlands. With the Thukkers putting their own shield extenders on the market, and outperforming the signature reduction on the Republic version... well, once we get adequate sourcing there, those are clearly the superior choice. It's why I use them on Thundersaint.

Well.... Can't say I didn't try.
