Warfare & Tactics

Go and retake (for example) Nennamaila then oh Alexander if you know how to fight the war. But I quess you are still too busy attempting to get suckers to go along with your "lets have moongoo isk factory for my RMT" scheme since I cannot imagine other reason why you've been attempting get it going for years now.

And you are also asking enemy for aid. Tell me this. Why are you in the militia at all then because clearly you dont need the militia and only see them as pool of suckers to exploit. Form your own alliance of fellow high-sec dwellers and go get those moons. I'm sure you can do it Mr. USMC.

Oh my, why these retards want to remake EVE again.

Fw is not for serious business at all, it just for fights and fights for system occupancy and plex warfare. Not for money. If you want some fancy rewards go to 0.0.

Problem in plex pvp is that environment is different form any other pvp in EVE. Fights happen in plexes which are unknown mystery for most. That is only because they think that plexeing is PVE and they do not bother to gather intel about plexing environment. Without intel those seems impossible and scary places to fight and that is why most FC leave those alone.

Gallente will win this round, just because those veterans who have been all the time in FW have gathered some intel about plexes and how those work as pvp environment and are not scared to fight on those.

Knowing the mechanics give you facts to make fleet compositions that can fight in plexes on your terms not with enemy terms.

Good for you, some other corps buy titans with isk they got from FW missions.

I never thought it possible but you are even more entertaining than Damar or BM.

There has been quite alot of talk about the Gallente like to bring what Damar calls the Jesusblob. I would however like to point out that those Jesusblobs are rarely formed to take on the Caldari, simply because it is a rare occasion indeed to see Caldari roaming down the pipes in our timezone in what can be described in lowsec terms as a medium sized fleet. Of course there is always some Caldari pilots and small gangs floating around in the pipes that are just ahving some fun and ganking some guys, but a true full-fledged Caldari fleet is, much to my disappointment, quite rare. Most of those Jesusblobs are really just roaming fleets or if we roll a bit heavy fleets set up to take on pirate corps/alliances like Shadow Cartel and Snuffbox. Those pirate entities have usually very solid setups, good FC's and on average perhaps pilots with more skillpoints than your average SP-DR member has (I only have 30msp for example). To take these guys on with their shiny toys we therefore need to travel quite heavy sometimes and perhaps even outnumber them quite a bit to stand a chance.

I have also seen quite a few remarks made by Caldari pilots in local chat about the so called logiblobs that the Gallente, and perhaps in particular SP-DR and our Alliance, like to field. Fact is however that we field mostly armour ships and the nature of that little beast is that they don't have the GTFO ability that the shieldtankers have that Caldari pilots like to use in their fleets. In order to survive one therefore needs a solid logi backbone. The Caldari have also for as long as I have been in FW fielded quite alot of ecm: a Caldari fleet without a Falcon is not a true Caldari fleet. I have also noticed that the Caldari have recently started fielding alot more ecm drones, up to the point that there would be only ecm drones fielded by Caldari pilots. Since we can't use smartbombing ships due to FW mechanics when non SP-DR members are in fleet, we have to build in some redundancy in the logistics group because some jamms will get through, even with strong local and remote eccm.

I am also aware that the Caldari are low on numbers (not counting all the mission running alts of course; sometimes I feel that I only ever encounter a Caldari pilot in a manticore). I really hope one or two decent sized corps will join your ranks soon to level the playing field. However there are other ways to even the odds. I have seen the Caldari using alot more logistics lately and I think that they have had quite a few (near) succeses with them, so keep that up. Also you have quite a strong setup in Ravens and Rokhs that you have sometimes fielded. If I were an FC in the Caldari militia or CEO of THE4 I would really invest into that setup. And this is to all you Caldari pilots: if your FC asks you to bring a specific setup then bring it, and don't go messing around with it yourself because 1) judging from what I have seen on the kb's, it will be very fail 2) your FC can not judge correctly what the capabilities are of his fleet. Changing into BS will even the odds against a larger force that is eg. in Bc's and I for one will happily fight your Bs fleet when we are in Bc's. The Drake only goes so far as well (mainly GTFO and low dps; the tank makes it very forgiving for newer pilots, granted) but the Bs fleet might be a change of the same old same old.

Now there is nothing left for me to do then expect the complaints about hotrops, neutral logi, neutral carriers, neutral boosters, batphones (never used one, but I'm sure someone will think we did), and of course us pushing the winbutton of epic awesomesauce: Shelley09

I've been in a few plexing fleets, right around nennamaila with gallente pilots active, and they do not ship down to fight cruisers or frigs. They stay in whatever they're currently fielding and try to score a few kills whenever we exit the system. In two months I have not yet seen a gallente fleet enter a plex to engage caldari. I have seen caldari fleets enter plexes to engage gallente, but they only stick around if they have a discernable advantage in numbers and tonnage. Frex the fight a couple nights back in a minor in Enaluri, the gals were fine with 6v4 but vanished when we picked up a couple more and made it 6v7, despite having better hulls.

I am not interested in scoring points on a virtual scoreboard when the process involved is boring as **** and does not result in any sort of interesting combat. Adding penalties for being in FW (such as lost docking rights or blocked agents when a system is controlled by the other side) would make me question why CCP wants to kick me out of FW so bad. Put an ISK value on capping those plexes, preferably in straight ISK rather than continually devalued LP, and you better believe people would give a damn.

All we need is Daniel Jackson and MNG to post and we'll have a full set of trolls in this thread.

You just ran from a 9v6 in a Caldari Outpost in Hikkoken where you had the nine. We had tech one cruisers, you had AFs and a couple thoraxes. There was 45 seconds left on the button.

I did? I'm still at work.

+1 for self quoting.

Good god, man! Is what you are saying true? Someone brought more people to a fight then you did? And this happened in Eve online you say!?

I sure am glad you had your wits about you enough so you could come here to the forums to bring news of this, extremely rare event, to the rest community. We owe you all our thanks.

You, sir, are a hero.
