Deen you have good intentions, but as what has been said prior.

Pre arranged fights dont work, even if you say we'll use a plex. Someone ALWAYS ruins it. Whether you have a rouge group of militia or some pies that just come in. Besides remember plexes also let dessys in. So to give you a practical example:

Frig Friday at Nis yeay!!!!!! We start fighting in merlins and rifters.

All of a sudden a rougue group of thrashers enter and BAM Frig Fridays just turned into Pod Fridays.


This for the most part.. Even our corp has it's new guys focused on Dessies as it's just much more effective all around.

to the OP..

One thing I'd like to suggest, is try to focus on splitting up your Gallente blob a bit. You guys already really out number the Caldari for the most part due to the fact Gals mostly focus their numbers on the Akadagi to Rak pipe with side steps to Tama or Hey.

This is really the reason you guys don't get the fights you claim you want. There are tons of Caldari out running around in small gangs but they mostly aren't interested in getting ganked with 5 to 1 odds so they roam the back pipes. If you start pulling tons of your general Militia into the mix, with cheap frig stuff, you will just inflate that number to retardation and fights will be fewer and further between.


If you Gallente started going out in smaller gangs away from the "blob lands" then you would get a lot more fights. Why not take the opportunity with your frig Fridays and actually go roam around the other 90% of Caldari vs Gallente FW space which Gallente for the most part totally ignores?

We roam the back pipes all the time with small gangs but finding a Gallente much less a small gang of WTs back there, is like trying to chase unicorns. There are fights out there and tons of Caldari out roaming but you guys always stay in the same few systems dependent on always having overwhelming blob/gank.

Spread out a bit and do something that doesn't always involve 15-20 guys and I'm pretty certain you guys will find lots of small gang fighting from Caldari. Remember not every active pilot in Gal militia needs to be on every damn Rifter KM.. move around go do some small gang stuff and maybe you guys might enjoy it. Blink

Sadly I personally can't show up as a foe to your frig Fridays or in support of Bolsterbomb's Weds ops due to my work schedule. You guys happened to pick 2 of the 3 days I work each week. Evil

Those "back pipes" as you call them are really part of the Greater Caldari Militia Game Preserve.

Our pilots are barred from entering those areas in fear that we may drive Caldari Militia rats into extinction.

Actually the "back pipes" I was talking about are pretty much all Gallente space. Like taking the back way from Vlillirier down to OMS with all the little side diversions that sprig off from that route. There is also the Evaulon pipe that goes around to Gal high sec.

It's all nice roaming grounds and I've never really understood why there is not more smaller gang action out there. It's where I tend to spend most of my time when Im' out roaming because it also has very easy access to Syndicate, PB & CR when I want to have a look see in null.
