Warfare & Tactics

There's no place near you.... Hykanima, Loes, Heydieles (Russians).

That isn't accurate. Caldari had about 15-20. If it was just 10, we would have fought them. Also, we had 6 guys not 5. I also wouldn't say we fought Rainbow Dash, it was more like we shot at them while they laughed. Your facts are just so horribly wrong Deen. :P

So far were mostly fighting "neutrals" around Loes and the only plexers are stabbed ships (or stabbed alts of DnD alliance members with their mains hanging about )

Its funny how the "neutrals" usually side with the stronger faction in each warzone.. I saw this while i was in the amarr mil and now seeing the same in the caldari mil

But since there are so many well established corps/alliances in the gal militia, why won't 1 of you switch over? You will still have the same quality members and you can fight against the other gal mil with BS or capitals or whatever the hell you want. Also if your that good i'm sure you will be able to find ppl in the cal militia that will gladly join an organized corp/alliance


Question is are you really looking for good fights and a challenge or is it too comfortable to have it easy..

p.s not saying everyone should move over and then turn the tide.. Just enough to keep it interesting

And lastly on a side note, why is the gal/mil warzone so big? Kinda feels there are too many systems and not enough ppl to actually occupy them (amarr/min have much less)

Uh... because nobody wants to deal with the Caldari drama llama?
If Caldari would chill with all their in house squabbling, they won't need a Gallente corp to swap over. They're pretty strong in their own right when they're not fussing at each other.
Instead of asking for a Gallente corp to swap over, why not step up and work together with the rest of the Caldari militia? Maybe move a couple alliances to one "home system" and live there for a couple months building trust amongst each other and learning to work with each other instead of staking out and each trying to do their own thing.

From what I've seen. Most Gallente corporations and pilots are not THAT good. The Caldari are just THAT bad and how you judge performance is a relative measure. For example: when Chaotic Tranquillity and I were in factional warfare I could count our competent pilots on one hand and 3 fingers and our really good pilots on 2 fingers. As for our fleet commanders. I'll leave that up to whom ever has engaged those commanders. However we had 4 total and 2 active.

How do I make that comparative determination? I compared the our pilots to the best pilots we had = )

As far as why Caldari don't attract more competent entities from the Amarr, Gallente or Minmatar side or anywhere. Pilots and entities tend to gravitate to the "good" or winning side and become "good" VICARIOUSLY. STANDINGS IS A BIG ISSUE TOO. However, the vast majority of entities in game who engage in combat are made up of "grunts" or a more appropriate euphemism would be "F1 monkey's" = ) There are only 2 hand full of entities like a Genos Occidere. Entities where all their pilots are capable of leading engagements and fly solo and are required to fly solo to join. Every other corporation and alliance I have seen and been in are made up of mostly grunts or "F1 monkey's". Not that it's a bad thing. Numbers and scale are important when achieving serious goals.

With that said. Looking back @ when Chaotic Tranquillity and I were in factional warfare. The leaders in our corporation wanted to join the Gallente side because the Caldari side was considered "bad". So, I made the argument to join the Caldari side for that reason. The prospective I gained was amusing. One of them being something I should have already known. Simply put. Alot of the pilots were just not "good". I found engaging easy. At-least when I was solo and in fleets with our MOST competent pilots.

Infact when I was leading we didn't lose much and even when we did lose; we did ALOT of damage at significant disadvantage. Mind you I lead from the front and by example. By that I mean I scouted and was the first one to start an engagement and last to leave (last to leave most of the time). Meaning I was in more danger than anyone else. Which is not the smartest way to lead a fleet (works better when everyone in your fleet is good and can lead once you go down though).

Anyway. I was not on most of the time and I didn't lead fleets all the time. So, I did see alot of head bashing outcomes when I was not around, after the fact. Based on those engagements against our worse pilots. Those considered "good" Gallente militia pilots and corporations were doing OK at best (1 to 1 losses with more numbers and wining) and at worse losing engagements (in funny ways). To me, I consider that bad because I considered Chaotic Tranquillity bad @ that time. How can you be good if you're losing to bad so much and with more or even numbers?

The only Gallente militia entities I took seriously at that time that I can remember were; SOTF, PLAYBOYS, QCATS, DARK RISING. That's a small list and the list of GREAT pilots is even smaller. I found that many on the Gallente "top killer" list to be easy to engage solo.

role play on***One day though... One day there will be a Caldari Jesus to delivery the militia from obscurity to GREATNESS and on that day I will be weeping tears of JOY. *** role play off.

TLDR: Gallente have too many corporations and pilots who consider themselves good VICARIOUSLY. Caldari are bad and have only 2 or less entities able to attract those who like to orbit around stars and those who are stars like to be around other stars (lol dumb analogy). Most Gallente corporations are bad and if they joined the Caldari side they would figure it out quickly. So why join losers when you could be a winner by association. Also standings is a BIG reason why too.

He just said standings was a huge huge for people not switching over. Amongst many other factors. What part of this do you not understand?

Takes awhile and alot get to threw to people. You say to little and they stay in their ignorance. You say to much and are too honest in your opinions and you're seen as confident and there by arrogant. Say too little and they miss the point entirely. Then you have a special group who some would call "sick kids" with "special needs".

Unlike some I don't do self aggrandizement (at-least not seriously unless I want to annoy some terribubble) and I'm fairly self depreciating.

I respect those who are superior to myself and will say as much and have on this forum. However, I do so with intent to surpass them and that respect may not be towards the individual, just their skill.

Some would say I've insulted my own corporation and it's members/friends. I'm often viewed as a Caldari traitor and a Gallente sympathizer instead of a realist who acknowledges ability, inabilities and realities.

Also you can "WIN" in factional warfare. Many battles and wars are won and lost in fact. As far as what you believe to be a "well structured" group of corporations and alliances in the Gallente militia. You'll find that in 0.0 (null) and not anything that structured in factional warfare. I've been in corporations like "Shadows of the federation" and many other "ELITE" alliances and corporation in factional warfare, low and 0.0. There was organization as far as combat. Otherwise most Factional warfare leadership can be and are often AFK. There's no need for a strong management structure or even FLEET DOCTRINE. I've already referred to that reality in a previous post.

We will be back in Innia within a day.

I think everyone in new eden knows where we are now stationed.

There isn't really much drama in CalMil.

Occasionally people don't agree and a few people do get overly invested in eve but that happens on all sides.



Drama only effects those who let it.

As far as leadership in Caldari.
That's a very complex issue. There are a few different types of people all with good ideas but very different attitudes.

There are the type who are 'It gets in the dplex or else it gets the hose again' type of people.

There are the 'Fuuuu 4 min left on this - screw the LP - im bored whats next door - oh 3 more private chat windows poped up (dock and chat for an hour) ' -Admittedly I'm this one. Eve is as much about being social as shooting spaceships for me.

Then you have the 'I just joined FW - I'm gonna come in and show you how FW should be played - oh fuuu you guys are not listening or doing what I want - please play eve my way for a few weeks.'




Just my observations.
