Warfare & Tactics

Cool story, bro

Camofloge, dude.

As a FW noob.......about half a month play time in FW.. and probably returning for the fun :)

I'd like to make an observation

I'm in the AU TZ (8am - 14pm eve time) and it's usually pretty quiet across the whole of eve at that time.
I found that by doing plex's in my 'downtime' i actually got a fair few fights out of it. most weren't too blobby or anything.
The plex/occupancy mechanic has no in game effect really however it goes give less skilled/experienced pilots to opportunity to get fights.
And quite often small fleets 4-5 pilots were the order of the day.

I have found it altogether less random than pirate roaming around LS.

on a side note around running away.......often if we were jumped while capping a plex we would immediately jump out to safes. this was to ensure we were repped etc and got coordinated then jump straight back in with whatever we were flying at the time.

Sometimes this would get us a bit of smack about being cowards etc but generaly got us a 'gf' when we returned and engaged.

the jump out & back tactic wasn't to try and 'blob' the WT's more so we could figure out what we wanted to do as we were all pretty inexperienced and swapping from 'plexing' mode to small fleet pvp mode doesn't automatically happen for us (I will most certainly be working on this skill though)

My 2 isk......not sure if it actully adds anything......just haven't found anything I feel like posting on.

Cheers

Crom the caldari have been a bit quite on the dessy fleets due just to so much pvp in the last month. They will return again.

As far as blob, it is a blob just admit it. The only time Caldari gets a blob is if we manage to break off part of your blob. The other night I was fcing a fleet of 7 mixed cruisers and bcs.

What happend slapd rolls in with about 13 t3 bcs, strategic cruisers etc.

You are not going to get FCs to simply leroy into something like this when we know we wont stand a chance.

I flew with Gallente for a long time. Its simply. Everyone sits in station intel comes in and everyone undocks. No one roams. Heck we were roaming for a good 2 hours the past two nights and nothing was there until we ran into the Slapd blob.

WE FORCE you to plex so we can actually get fights. And stop complaining or making excuses that "plexes" dont matter. They are an invaluable piece of what makes FW FW.

You may complain about it now, but once CCP makes the FW change you will be singing a new tune.

The thing with Agoze is you guys had access to insta reships immediately. I was there watching cloaked up (RL crap) the whole time. The only reason Caldari won was because they refused to give up. I know a couple pilots that lost almost a bil in ships trying to take that system. Do you realy think we are going to want to do that every week?

Gals blob. No one roams. When I was gal I would dilerbertly go out in small "killablke" ships to get fights. When Galls roll you do it with loki boosters and all other sorts of crap.

If you are so worried about losing your ship fly something else.

As for me I am in it for the GF and dont care what I lose as long as I get a GF

Admit it. You answered to this thread only so you could post that link

Anyway, I think we are back to usual "not much happens". Lines are stabilised, forums are ripe with badmouthing and Black Onyx Society weirdo has resubbed to game with his 7 dual-stabbard atron alts to defense plex for gallente side (and apparently in his opinion, I should get a life). Apparently we were also failing when we stopped decontesting a system for a while to kill a billion isk tengu this morning

And the way you complain we stereotype you...you do the same to us. Many of us roam , solo even, and without boosters...always looking for a good fight. I could go on and on about how you all refuse to fight me unless you have 5:1 advantage. It goes both ways and TBH quit comparing us to SLAPD...we don't even share coms with them. So if they run you off with "silly never going to get a fight" fleet comps or are running with pies don't direct it at my guys. Thanks.

Why do you put their quote at the bottom of your post, it is weird.

Seriously **** Nexx.

Sry, we were a bit busy fighting PL and Raiden, but please keep me updated, who's capturing what and how many brave cormorants were lost in the fight to capture it? Also anymore epic Talos kills ? Hope you frapsed that btw.

But the Kitchen sink is strong with caldari. Everyone grab a ship with guns /o\.
