EVE General Discussion

I often use to fly my second account as a scout for the FC's too while being DPS, that can really help to get a better understanding of what was going on as often you end up in a scout channel so you see the reports from them too.

It is not CCPs fault, only your own. Who is the fool? The fool, or the fool who follows him?
If you don't like to take orders, why do you CHOOSE to join these corps / fleets / alliances?

I do not like to take orders, that is why I set up my own corp. It is your choice, to do the same.

That's the fun, remember in b-r where you pressed F1 (your doomsday) and returned after 1 hour?

We had the doomsday primary just posted in jabber at some point I think.

OP. Perhaps you should consider trying to develop different command tactics. As was pointed out there are many other ways of playing the game. But the reason why your fleet battles are so dull is because you fall into the trap of DPS/tank warfare and focus fire. It is entirely possible for you to create a different warfare doctrine. One which is more imaginative.

Why don't you try working on a skirmish and manoeuvre doctrine? Divide your fleet into separate mobility elements and try skirmish warfare. If you move away from the blob warfare, and actually cultivate the ability in your fleet elements, and the ability of your pilots to synchronise their own manoeuvre with the fleet perhaps you can find a different metagame which is more enjoyable and fun?

Another possibility is to combine this with information warfare. ECM, Damps, and ECM Bursts. Circle the enemy blob with multiple squadrons.. Try operating as that 10 man fleet which you so enjoy, and then try coordinating that with 3 or 4 equally capable 10 man fleets and you might be able to create something fun and interesting.

If you can create an effective fleet which allows individual initiative you will have a much more enjoyable experience... Who knows? You might even be more effective. It's up to you.

Your culturally embedded scripts are showing. Up until WWII the idea of the nameless citizen soldier risking his life for his country was considered worthy and admirable. Generals and leadership were esteemed because of the massive responsibility involved. WWI officers shooting themselves in the head after watching previously unheard-of numbers of young men get minced by new weapons.
Towards the end of WWII came the idea of the celebrity soldier, they chose Audie Murphy, who with his Garand was supposedly responsible for a higher number of enemy deaths than any other combat soldier. He played cowboys in movies for years after.
Less reported is that he woke up crying and screaming after going to bed with a pistol under his pillow, would drink, beat his wife and roam the streets picking fights with adolescents. In his memoir he describes encountering a blackened, red-eyed, hostile looking thing in a burned-out building during the war. A moment of confusion before he realised he was looking at a mirror.
Soldiers are remembered as a group, individuals remember individual soldiers.

TLDR If you want to play an important part in a giant battle without direction or organisation hindering you, i wish you the very best of luck.

again how?

Pfft. I got sick of that too. Now I just gank people in high sec. The pay is better and you don't need permission to do a damn thing. Break your chains and free yourself would be my humble advice. You are doing this to yourself. If you don't want to be treated like a slave, you simply need to stop acting like a slave. Unscrew it yourself.

1) Post with your main, or stop whining about things you don't know about.
2) HTFU
3) People fight like that because in large groups it's the most efficient least stupid tactic.

4) If a part of the game is not interesting to you (but clearly is for thousands of other people) either find a part that is, or find a game that is. DO NOT come to the player forums whining how it's all CCP's fault you're not having fun, it's your fault for not bothering to find something fun to do.

5) Profit.
