How long will this take? I can't devote too much time to this because I'm just a casual player and I have to mine for at least 4 hours a day to pay for a plex.

The idea is that each ship's trip to VFK takes place over several days to avoid easy detection, logging off in empty systems or rally points as needed. I'm afraid if you need to be at a specific place (i.e. mining) during the course of the operation, you'd need to use an alt for one of the activities. Sad

And how is my alt supposed to pay for his plex if he is off galavanting around goon space? Sheesh some people are so pushy. If I wanted to be ordered about by ego maniacs I would be in a 0.0 alliance.

Hey, I'm not pushing anybody. It's just that using an alt is the only currently available way to be in two places at once...and that's what you'd need to do if you want to mine four hours a day and come along on Dread Intrusion.

So, yeah, good luck with that. I'm 100% sure you'll be able to do what a huge coalition of dedicated pvpers couldn't do.

Well. I didn't think anyone could possibly have a dumber idea than PL, NCdot, Evoke and Raiden did when they invaded VFK last year.

Good job OP. You have one upped Billy Merc when it comes to mindless stupidity.

Now to tell you where the plan falls down:

Cyno jammers.

That was covered in the plan. They're going to shoot the jammers wtih Stealth bombers. They most definitely aren't going to die to the POS guns next to that jammer though!

But they have a Wall Of EWAR™

Also, Sov warfare's not something you really do stealthily. The best way to do this semi-stealthily would be to form a heavy subcap fleet on a titan*, sneak a cyno next to the VFK gate, light the Cyno and drop the fleet there, then smash the Jammer AFSAGDHFP so that your Caps can RF some things. Then log them out and hope GSF is too demoralized by the initial attack** to build up a cap force for the timer fight.

*Not sure if there are any non-GSF allied systems within range of VFK, so this may pose a problem
**This may be unlikely. Fit a cloak before you log.

Isn't the point of a plan of attack to keep the plan of attack secret, to avoid the enemy from countering the attack?

On a less-trollish note, I'd totally join you in this, just for ***** and giggles. Send me a mail. P

Making you plan public has worked in several instances.

The Ice Interdictions
Burn Jita
HAG

All come to mind.

All I'm saying is that there are valid reasons to make your plan public ahead of time. I wasn't saying that this plan will benefit from such publicity.

In this case though, I think publicity can do nothing but help OP's cause, as without it it would be a one man assault on VFK. (It still has no chance of working)
