Warfare & Tactics

There's alot of truth in your statements. Though, I would say that the difficulty that arises from corps leaving has more to do with not being able to fly in disciplined fleet comps. Alot of FW is kitchen sink stuff. Having been in the theatre for the past 6 months, I've noticed many corps who can't grow beyond kitchen sinking.

Leadership of a corp often don't have the vision to understand the challenges that lie ahead of them as they leave FW and try to do more non-FW pvp in low or null. Because of that, their pilots are not fully prepared for the harshness of non FW PVP.

Alot of pvp corps in FW don't always appreciate what they have till they leave.

Though, WBR should be fine since they do fly disciplined fleet comps and this isn't the first time they've left.

I think it depends on what you call success. I see going to null sec as a failure because it offers bad gameplay.

I agree that can be fun. My corp did that for a while. But we didn't leave faction war to do it. Why eliminate that free wardec if you are in low sec?

Well I'm glad Amarr are failing. We have many new members joining our corporations because of it.

What I dont understand is this.

I have no idea why these dudes are b!tching about income. Cant any of you mission in high sec? Cant you do exploration or go into wormholes? What the f*ck is the problem? It cant be isk. Sure you wont make as much as Minmatar LP @ system control @ level 4 -5. Meh! But you can still make a sh!t ton in wormholes, exploration sites and in 0.0

I only care about system control for role playing purposes and I'll fight a losing battol for that alone. From what im hearing, most pilots have no reason to fight over factional warfare systems apparently. Isk is not enough of a motivation. I'm also hearing and reading they've (amarr milltia) tried hard and failed. They can't win and its to late.

Oh welll! v0v someone has to win and someone has to lose.

So your saying we should make our cavalry get out of their ships and let the amarr take all the systems upto Dal (not including amamake cuz that's special piwates live there so they need to keep the system!!)

It does'nt matter if its us or ccp doing the resetting it's still making the War fair, So you have changed your mind about war being fair?

Sure it matters who's doing the resetting. CCP does it, it sets a horrible precedent.

If we were to do it and the Amarr lost all their systems all over again, then f*ck them, they obviously suck.

But I believe the Amarr are more victims of a borked system than anything else, and having started in a ****** position when the borked system was introduced, because of a previous borked system.

If it is, in fact, idleness, then they'll get bootstomped again, and all the smacktalk and propaganda that follows will have serious weight behind it.

As an Amarrian fighter, I have been in Faction Warfare for the last week. Needless to say, I am having the time of my life. I have had a few near misses, where I died when my opponent was in hull, Ganked off of the station undocks of Fweddit's home station, and gone on roams in which I have died horribly. I am currently down to about 600k, and I am down 2 Destroyers, 7 interceptors and a cruiser.

That aside, I will admit I have debated a few times about going to minmatar and plex for a while. I only have about 47k LP and can't cash out on anything worthwhile other then ammo and boosters. I am actively trying to find 1v1 ships that can take down the vigils the ninja plexers uses, the dramials and the daredevils that everyone uses.

There has been talk about the militia on how to make things somewhat better. Currently, regardless of how many people plex, its a flat .9% increase/decrease and there is a set time for 1 person. If multiple people plex, you get a cut of the LP and the Standing, which makes it only for 1 person to plex at a time. Defensive plexing needs an increase to the % of the system control, to something like 1.5%, where as the offensive plexing needs to be increased slightly to 1%. There needs to be incentives to defensive plexing. Multiple people defensive plexing needs to bring the time down to actually encourage defensive plexing. Max would be 10/15/20 mins for plexes base, and min time would be 7.5/10/15 mins. I am just throwing random numbers out but that is the general gist of it.
