Last time i saw snuff out and about it was them trying to 3rd party a gal mil eve uni fight in a medium plex with a 25 man abso guard fleet sat on the gate.

Local chat was quite amusing.

Not as amusing as them failing to 3rd party a fight not so long back because someone (hello zenton?) failed to jump plan properly and their cyno got popped on field 1 jump outside bridge range lol.


Hey now, there's no need to make fun of our terribleness here Crosi :(

In seriousness though, we do our best to comp for the occasion. Sometimes it's for what is on field, sometimes it's for what we know is on the batphone.

So yeah, we fly absos but we also fly navy vexors and harbingers :D

Me mumbles something about Crosi and his damping Keres.

This thread is glorious and makes me want to rejoin FW.

Crosi do you have enough Venture alts to take care of Nis and Noto so chasing farmers doesn't do my head in again? Did the changes fix farming?

And where the **** is Tzen?

Damn you Amarr for bringing the most epic fights ever seen on any stage in fw ever to our system and MAKING us fight. All we want to do is run missions in peace.

- text snipped



Why do you keep saying this? The "run missions in peace" bit? I don't think I've heard anyone in my alliance ever say "Lets run some missions".

When the Amarr were kicked out of the region and we couldn't find fights, we would saunter through Nullsec to find some fights. I'd like to know precisely who you are talking about with this "mission running" thing. Personally, I haven't run a single mission in an extremely long time - certainly not while I was in faction war.

TLDR
Who are you talking about?

FW used to be so much cooler.

Where are all the Battleships gang of old? Nowadays it's just frigates, frigate and more frigates. Sad times.

we do undock our Battleships and Battlecruisers every once in a while. What you probably dont realise is that most fights in FW happen inside outposts, and the steady rhythm at which we burn through hulls isnt exactly gentle on the wallet.

I dont buy Plex to finance my PvP, and I doubt you people who ball up in 50+ fleets and stool on top of a gate can understand the parallel dimension called "small scale warfare" where you engage in dozens of fights daily.

do you get dozens of fights whenever you log on?


We actually do go out in smaller gangs in snuffbox, it's not entirely "50 man fleet" ****. (Though our 15 man abso gangs usually get reported as 50+ absos in the militia chats, quite amusing)


For example we fought the new Caldari Bohemian guys in their little ishtar fleet with our navy vexor gang (#Grarrdexors represent) quite recently. Actually chased a 10 man drake gang with 5 bs in the us tz the other day .... didn't kill anything oh the shame.

When we see a FW/neutral cruiser or battlecruiser gang we try to ship to a similar fleetcomp (hello t1 cruisers with augoror reps) though we can't always be bothered.

Anyway, it just seems to me there was more frequent "epic big stuff" that happened in faction war a few years back. Armor battleship brawls were pretty much a weekly thing between the various factions, sometimes with pirate third parties thrown in the mix. Nowadays it feels like there's either less High SP players or less FC's willing to do these kinds of things.

To me the appeal of Faction Warfare was always how fluid and exciting things were. Start of the day you see some frigates and destroyers skirmishing in the smaller plexes, more people start participating as the day draws longer, and things escalate to cruisers for the larger plexes. Before you know it one side has brought BC's to utterly trash the opposite cruiser gang who then goes and upships to fight the new threat and suddenly it's a huge BS brawl with guardians and sometimes capitals on field

People exchange gf in local and everyone is happy,

Very exciting stuff.


Yeah I love it when two groups of similar strength try to escalate an on-going engagement without showing the other side they've escalated. That's where the really classic fights live.

I ain't saying there isn't an appeal to the sort of warfare we're doing at the moment but it's just so lacking in any nuance, and as it's global rather than situational the stakes make people bitchy. It brings propaganda and mind games into the whole thing which is all well and good but, frankly, there's less artistry on the battlefield. There's tons of pew to be had but quantity doesn't always equate to quality. That being said there's been some good battles of late; they're just only ever within certain perameters.

Let's hope this weekend puts out. I want them to come, I built loads of little spaceships and erryting.
