ok, I've been wondering this for a while now: what's are your favorite strategies to use against enemies? I'm talking about enemy corps and alliances as well as single people. personally, I like to use either indirect means of taking care of them, or at the very least, stay at range and take care of them. And yes, you pirates can get bloody and gory with your descriptions, just keep it so that it isn't too descriptive so that the thread isn't locked down by the admins. after all, children might read this!


Oh, and would you guys at Pyre please try to make sure Kim doesn't start a tirade about "how the Federation must be destroyed!" Seriously, we're all Empyreans here and this is a neutral ground!

Firstly, whatever works.

Secondly, I doubt that Diana Kim is going to listen to anyone from Pyre, considering that she believes that Pyre Falcon are all "Gallente Traitors" or something equally stupid, and she's not their responsibility anyways.

My favourite strategy to deal with enemies? It's a two-part strategy.

Part 1. Give my enemy incomplete information about my plan.

Andreus Ixiris > A Civire without a chin is barely a Civire at all.

Pieter Tuulinen > He'd be Civirely disadvantaged, Andreus.

Andreus Ixiris > ...

Andreus Ixiris > This is why we're at war.

Shooting at them is always satisfying, though sometimes talking is best. Sometimes there may be rhymes.

I indulge in the amusement of watching my enemies self-destruct in public due to their own ignorance and stupidity.

Although such satisfaction usually only occurs with the weak of mind and the easily manipulated.

Such as Diana Kim.

What greater victory is there than to guide your foe step by step towards felling themselves at the point of their own sword? I find direct violence as a tool of last resort if one is unable to achieve the far more subtle, yet efficient, method of just persuading your enemy to use their own weapons against themselves.

However, I fear I am far too much a simple, open and honest woman to partake in the arts of plotting and scheming against others. The skills necessary to do so are frankly the ones I always seem to lack in life.

yeah, that's one of the strategies I meant by "indirect." it's fun watching someone screw themselves over to the point where they effectively destroyed themselves, ahh... this brings back memories of my time in the Black Eagles...

No, I was not. truth be told, I had not heard of him during my time in the Eagles.

1. Pyre has nothing to do with me. Even their loyalty to the State is doubtful. Especially their leader. Besides, I outrank her, and it is I who can give commands to her, not she to me. But she has already displayed both her hostility and disrespect to uniform and the State, so the moment she will try to approach me in person, she will probably get a bullet right between her stupid eyes.
2. The Federation must be destroyed regardless.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

Ah, I see your mistake here Diana,
You have gone from thinking that Heth is the state to thinking that You are the state.

Veikitamo Gesakaarin has shown disrespect not to the navy, or it's uniform, nor to the state.
She has shown a completely understandable lack of respect for you and you alone.

You should probably sort that out in your own little head Diana, While your rants continue to amuse a large number of capsuleers, I am honestly beginning to pity you.

Ida tells me to consider all avenues of attack, and plan accordingly.

Federal marine training says kick the door in, or blow it with a demolition charge, and paste any tango until they stop twitching.

Depends on the situation ultimately. Back in my days with Corp-Sec, I'd advise my teams to try and use words first, if only because not only are words cheaper than pulse rifle rounds, words also don't upset the client nearly as much as bulletholes in their property. Even when I was with CPD, I tried my best to keep my assets on a short leash. Violence is a big black line and whilst you should not hesitate to cross it when required, you should at least make an effort to avoid it.

Glory to the State.

My strategy for dealing with my enemies is to not make them, if at all possible. I try to avoid the more sophomoric squabbling by keeping my hat out of the alliance-corporate-imperial power structure. People who dislike you usually aren't worth the time you spend on them, especially when you can fly to the other side of the cluster and find someone who does like you.

Anyone who makes it a point to harass you is thus making sure you handle them on a case-by-case basis. There really isn't a methodology behind it. You have a problem then apply the correct solution. If you have a problem, it was obviously your mistake in the first place. Don't give dullards the opportunity to wrong you and don't wrong your fellow man in return. You would be amazed the opportunities that open themselves when you've made your friends a paramount priority above your enemies.

Does anyone even use swords anymore? I would have thought them dreadfully impractical. The mental image is amusing though.

Sword was being used as a metaphor for blasters due to the extremely close range required Smile

Though I do believe swords are used for ceremonial purposes in nearly all military's. I've heard rumors that Amarr officers still train for combat with them to a small degree. I actually have my father's sword from when he served as Federation Navy officer though I doubt it would hold together in combat.
