Warfare & Tactics

Its better than when you left, but its not a target rich uber busy deal either.

Vauge answer sorry for that, but no, no new big allinces yet....

If you like, you can hit me up in game. I'm running a newer Caldari corp, that has a lot of new guys in it we are training, but we are soon going to be set up with the ability to fight on both the Caldari & Amarr fronts. This way you can easily move to where ever the action is and have guys to fly with.

If you join caldari, you will get lots of fights. The Gallente are kinda short on targets right now, so you may be outnumbered for a while, UNLESS you run plexes. Plexing does a good job of keeping fights more even.

If you plex your "target short pvp starved" gallente friends will run from your tech 1 destroyer while they are in a faction frigate and bring more people and then wonder why you didn't stick around for them to blob you.

There still are pilots in gal mil willing to fight alone, namely chat, loren, and x gal, but the testicular fortitude in gal mil as a whole seems to be non exsistant

This is pretty much the case.. there is a very "SMALL" amount of Galentte that will give you a fight. 99.9% of the rest of the Gallente will run from T1 Destroyers until they have 5 times the numbers needed to insure a win then when you don't fight they cry in local about Caldari running away.

A fight for Caldari vs Gallente means, if we bring 5 Destroyers they will bring 3 to 4 BC's. If we bring 5 BCs they will bring 15 possibly with logistics. So as you can see Caldari are pretty out gunned at the moment and have lots of targets, but Gallente are still un-willing to adjust their gangs to give back a decent fight.

A "fight" would mean we bring 5 Destroyers and they match us on ship class when having equal numbers. If we bring 5 BC's & they have 15 guys then a fight would mean them shipping down to T1 cruisers being they have 3 to 1 odds. It's too bad they aren't willing to do this, so most of us just ignore them and gank them back when we find a lone target or two.

If you join Caldari, you will have tons of targets but don't expect "fights" from Gallente as that is something they will not give you. The good news is we have tons of other guys to shoot that aren't Gallente so it matters very little what Gals are doing. If you look at Caldari KB you will see lots of kills from small gang & solo pilots and I'd say at lest 50% of them are neutrals/pies.

We have more targets than we can shoot, this is true but don't join Caldari Militia and expect fights from Gallente as their version of fight is run from even numbers and only "fight" if it's 3/5 to 1 odds. Caldari on other hand is much more skirmish/small gang ordinated at the moment with guys out actually looking for fights more than 1 jump away from their home systems.

The good news is those same 99% of Gallente whom are only interested in KM whoring rarely ever leave a 5 jump radius of their home systems. Meaning you typically don't have to bother with them if you choose not to. This is why a large amount of Caldari don't even bother with our WT's anymore and just shoot pies & neutrals in low & null sec as it's much more fun..

Maybe Gallente will eventually learn the concept of giving a fight to get a fight, but until then they can continue to sit spinning their space ships for all I care as we already have pleanty to shoot at with out them. Maybe we will eventually build up our own Blob and force fights out of them, but until then we just shoot other stuff.

Some people fly solo, most people do not.

Everyone likes to be on the winning side.

How many people, when outnumbering the enemy say to their FC, "Poor opponents, we outnumber them and will plainly win this fight. Lets ship down to give them a chance to win."?

No-one.

Caldari are outgunned right now, no doubt. But if you are getting outshipped constantly you can fight in plexes and control that. Getting outnumbered is another thing, but its not always the case. I can think of three recent examples where we jumped into superior numbers in plexes.

And i really think you guys are mistaken that we plan blobs. As someone described it tonight - we just have a lot of people on, and we have the 'Voltron' effect. Somone reports intel, and people drop what they are doing and head toward the target system. We cant control what shows up. But its usually alot. Voltron forms. We fight or get blueballed, then the Voltron fleet splits and everyone goes back to what they were doing. We just lots of folks that want to fight, and good intel gives us quick reaction.


GalMil in action. :)

You've never shipped-down to get a fight?

Wow, that's ******* SAD

Embarrassing really
