I also wouldn't mind hearing about Caldari FW corps that base out of low sec and are active in the EU TZ. A corp that focuses on a mix of small to mid fleet ops and FW missions to fund pvp would be nice. |

Black Rise Guerrilla Force is a good bet. While relatively new to FW (a few months old), they do alot of fleet ops with IGB and will fight you. Their KB rankings have increased dramatically over the past few months and I respect them enough as a foe to recommend them.
There is also the alliance, Templis Dragonaor which is lead by Dark Circle Enforcement corporation which is based out of lowsec and will fight Gallente all the time. I'm not sure if they are EU TZ based though. . |

TBH, you can usually expect better information on a faction from their enemy than from them. People just chest-beat when talking about their own stuff, imo. Sa souvraya niende misain ye. |

First you must understand that Caldari over the last few months has been in rebuilding process, so we fight more of a guerilla warfare at this time. Meaning you will find many more small gangs then larger 20 to 30 man gangs, however I've noticed a few more of those happening lately.
As far as bases a good place to start would likely be Ichoriya or Onnamon to get your feet wet and give you a chance to see what corps are active in your TZ..
There are several corps that are starting to gain a bit of momentum, but I'd suggest before picking anyone of them, that you should do a bit of research to see who is online most often when you are. I'd also suggest joining one of the larger corps to help them better bolster their numbers rather than just joining some random 5 man corp.
The more powerful the larger corps are the better access you will have to forum up larger gangs but also will still had lots of small gang action..
Off top of my head I'll toss a few out there in no special order..
Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse Inglorious-Basterds Black Rise Guerilla Forces Dark Circle Enforcement Nasranite Watch Project Cerberus 1st MC
and of course I'll toss in a plug for my own corp SQUIDS. We recruit a lot of newer players along with non bitter vets.
There are probably others but my suggestion is try to find some of the larger corps to help buff them up as it will help Caldari Militia more in the long run to have stronger main corps than loads of little 5 & 10 man corps as we have right now. Not to say that some of those 5 & 10 man corps aren't active or killing a lot, but Caldari militia need a bit more organization at the moment and some stronger bulked up corps. |

It took alot for me to even acknowledge any respect for the enemy on a public forum for fear of being labeled as a spy by my own people :)
There is a current lull right now b/w both sides. But despite what the outsiders may say, now is a good time to join FW and get your feet wet on mechanics and lowsec intelligence. It's better you make your mistakes now as a noob pre-Inferno. Because when the FW expansion comes out with all the supposed consequences of taking space, there will be little room for error and lackadaisicalness. It will be alot more intense.
Noobs joining FW post-Inferno will have a tougher time acclimating to lowsec and FW mechanics. . |

I'm not in Factional Warfare but I have considered joining Caldari.
But from an outsiders perspective reading other recent threads, it is actually rather embarrassing that the Caldari can only field thrasher fleets....or at least that's the perception. I'm sure there are pilots who fly above this but some of the recent threads where people on the Caldari side keep harping on about their Thrasher gangs is pretty embarrassing. If that is all you can fly due to attrition on your side or lack of skilled pilots, then it's tough to ask for new pilots to stand a chance against Gallente or even stronger pirate gangs in the area. Heck, even the Amarr didn't batphone the Caldari for the Huola fight. But some GAllente corps were in on the fighting for the Minnies!
Perhaps that trolling thread was right. There is only 3 relevant militias? :( |

I think you read far too much into what a few Gallente forum trolls post. Caldari Militia has it's problems but we are still out killing stuff day in and out. We just don't blob around in 30 man gangs hiding behind numbers. Our Militia does a lot of small gang PVP as a whole. |

Everyone blobs. The way you assert your statement makes it sound like you made a conscience choice not to blob. But it isn't. It's simply you don't have the numbers to field a fleet against Gallente so you're forced to stick with fighting outnumbered and blobbing something smaller. Whether it's them going 30 vs 15 against you or you going 5 vs 3 against someone else, it's all just blobbing.

Feel free to shop around with in your militia corps. The big plunge is what SIDE you pick(and the damage you take to standings of its enemy's). If you look a lot of caldari and gall pilots have been in multiple corps with in there faction. Bear in mind that different corps have different culture, play styles, time zones, resource gathering dogmas, and ideology's. You also must take forum talk with a grain of salt. The only thing I can say with serenity for caldari is to stay clear of Dumar, and grow a thick skin. I am in Factional Warfare. Have been from day one.-á-áI will never work for a mega corp in null-sec. Do not make FW like null-sec.-áMake FW worth our time. Reword us for what we already do.Give us some more activities to do. |

You mean like this?
http://caldari.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13231830
or this?
http://caldari.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12572481
Cloaks on ships in low & null have long been used to avoid gate camps when traveling or soloing, when you know the areas you fly in are often gate camped. Specially when there are Insta locking T3/Hic gangs that favor the area..
Hell from time to time I take out cloaky Drakes when I farm FW missions, last time I did I bagged this..
http://caldari.eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=12280551
Perhaps you should get better at uncloaking ships before they warp away.. or simply don't be disappointed when someone's PVE ship out smart your gang or simply get better at PVP.
Looking at your kill board I can see you mostly seem to hunt mission runners. So you are you really complaining that guys carebearing in low sec are out smarting you? |

Our corp's whole purpose in FW is to recruit new guys and train them to PVP. We recruit guys that are as low as a few weeks into the game and we stick them in Thrashers and get them PVPing. Of course PVP cost ISK and last I checked, noobs aren't spawned into the game with billions worth of assets.
Once we have them in Thrashers, we get them training for Caracals, Drakes & Bombers. However that's at the very least a 2 to 3 month process to get guys into Bombers & decent Drake fit, so we send them out in Cloaky Caracals to run lvl 3's to get them building up their ISk until they train into Bombers & finally Drakes or Hurricanes for PVP.
We have guys that are a few weeks in the game flying in some of the blobbist low sec space in the game as well as taking them to null sec to get fights. Are you really acting as if you are some how l33t, because you can catch a few guys running missions, that don't have tons of experience, yet also complaining when you happen to get out smarted by one?
How many other corps do you see getting brand new guys into PVP and helping keep low sec active? What have you done beside try gank in-experienced players & mission farmers that makes you think you are somehow better than they are? I checked out your kill board from your link and all I see is easy ganks of stealth bomber mission runners & cyno frig kills as your only solo kills. What makes you pro again? |

I will stick up for Mutnin's guys in they at least have balls and aren't afraid to fight. They fought us last night when we had them at 2:1 odds. They were slightly heavier, but made a bunch of mistakes. They will learn and get better. I have fond memories of trying to fight 100+ Gavin fleets. We got slaughter a ton, but what we learned was invaluable.
Anyway, don't make fun of the new guys making dumb mistakes. Those will be the people who you will have the most fun fighting in the future. Make fun of the guys that have been making dumb mistakes for a year. |
