Warfare & Tactics

is the point any less relevant due to being posted by an alt?

Sorry, i dont see how im 'blaming others', i was just commenting that most alliances literally do nothing. Blaming ME for that is pretty illogical.


I've been shouting at my alliance's cap pilots to convince them to hotdrop carriers with me... i even offered to 100% reimburse any losses and they still dont want to risk the loss

My alliance finally formed up and tried to attack the WT's who are all hiding in station now (the WT's who wardec'd US not the other way around, before you get angry that im wardecing innocent miners or something)

First action i've had in a week and the only killmail i got was a blue pod (killed him for being an idiot AFK'ing on a lowsec station, giving his bomber up to a random neutral cynabal)

Have you considered taking your friends and joining Agony or a similar, more active group? There's definitely a market out there for people who can motivate and train others in PvP, and even moreso if you can get them past some of the more common myths about it.

I've had training both under Agony Uni as well as Eternum's "Pwned Factor" corp, and they both have their merits and useful points - despite concentrating on different ship types. But both also have people who motivate and explain the mechanics involved - sometimes while in the middle of a hostile engagement (that's happened with both as well).

I would easily put a ship in harm's way for both groups (time permitting), even though I'm not a member. Same goes for my current corp/alliance, but that's for different reasons (related to my need to scratch the RP itch now and then - too much LARPing I guess ).

"I'm an alliance hopper, only because no one is active enough for me, furthermore I have made several new players quit because my corp was inactive. I am looking for a new alliance."

I think you need to look harder at the smaller alliances tbh

Some of what the OP is talking about is true though. There really isn't anything going on in EVE these days. MM and Brick invading Curse but that' not a big deal. Test taking a one=man system in Provi with the required PL scap back-up, but that's nothing either. Sadly, that's ALL that's really going on in EVE.

There was an interesting war going on in WH space between Eastern and Western forces but it seems to have died down. Goons and friends are wondering why their thunderdome didn't work. Not much to talk about really. If it wasn't for the dev blogs there really wouldn't be anything to talk about at all. The regular blogs haven't had much to say either outside of the dev blogs. War in EVE has passed and it seems the gunslinger is passing with it.

Fewer people are doing anything at all. I was shocked to find that some people have actually undocked instead of ship spinning like a reasonalbe person would do. I figure that it's something the kids are doing these days. If you see pilots are undocked in local, it probably just a prank.

Dont know what TEST alliance you joined....Everyone knows TEST isnt active, we are all just bots farming isk all day to support our highsec manufacturing mains.

Because it's not as easy as it sounds, Running a corporation (And to a far greater extent, an alliance) isn't a simple task. Keeping everyone doing things, active, will always yield complaints from some and praise from others.

Balancing them is difficult (My alliance never broke 300 members, ~40 online and maybe half that active)

I give too many op's in one week ? I suffer poor attendance for each, I give people a break and get complaints.

Here's a thought - ENTERTAIN YOURSELF. It's not your CEO's task to make sure your entertained 24/7, if we don't have a pos to smash later then i wont be posting an op to sit on a gate somewhere, though I personally aimed 2 roams/week (but in fairness, usually ran one every night)

Sorry to sound like a rant, and to people that say your not a suitable ceo/executor I agree and thats why I gave it up.



Then do something about it yourself. Don't blame other people for not entertaining you sufficiently.

All I see in this thread is whining because you aren't spoon-fed.

I know, right? How am I supposed to commit epic corp/alliance theft/espionage/trapping when there isn't anybody actually playing...

EDIT: Epic because of the tears, money is just a side benefit. Epic alliance thefts don't tend to bread quite as much tears as e-fame.

If an alliance/corp doesn't have a "dot" at the end of its name OR an o in the name but instead using a 0 it's not a real alliance/corp.

WI./the Initiative./evoke./ev0ke/Northern coalition./raiden./white noise./the 0rphanage/noir.

If an alliancename doesn't have either one of those two qualities it's a dead alliance. So next time, make sure it has and you're with a good group.
