lol yeah that seems about normal for most of the EVE community. I guess we all start off as one race, decide we want to be another race, and then discover yet another race's ships are better for what we want to do. I have a number of accounts with a variety of different races all so I can experience the whole different racial/factional thing, trying as much as possible to stick with the ships, weapons and tactics of each race but I find it quite hard due to the fact that often the best mix at least for PvP, is a hotchpotch of skills, modules and ships from all four races, which of course not one of my pilots can fly, or at least well. Which is why I was looking for anyplace I could do the real factional warfare thing, complete with correct ships per race, etc. I thought the statement made earlier that most Caldari fleets are shield repped meant it was at least a good bet that I was on the right track, but I'm not sure now.... Still I wouldn't mind giving Caldari Militia a go, if indeed the Caldari side is lacking pilots. Not sure how much of an asset I'd be though... :)

Thanks heaps for the feedback. I'll hang around here for a few more days, see if this is where I need to be.

As a nub (well vetern nub I was on the Gallente side 2 years ago) going into the Gallente / Caldari FW it's too late for me to join the Caldari side (-7.20 I ain't grinding that **** up) I'm not however adverse to selling cheap ships to both sides, along with helping some of the new squids I get some GF's out of with a bit of extra pewing isk, and some pointers.

I know I can't speak for everyone, but I'm in it for the lulz, and the GF's not the roflstomping the other side out of the game.

Honestly, I was thinking about joining Cal FW a while ago, but every time I see FW threads here, I know I made the right choice by STAYING AS FAR AWAY FROM IT AS POSSIBLE.

Caps added to convey that I am shouting at the reader.

EDIT: I didn't read the last couple of pages because the beginning of the thread was so bad, but there is some cool discussions on those ships.

The goal in FW has always been PvE, CCP just finally made it profitable to actually do it now. So don't act like PvP is the goal while you sit down in your station only undocking your blob to catch small groups of pilots in the tunnel system. And that is why you will lose, because no longer can you play LoL only undocking the blob to kill and still win the war.

Is this gonna be the new Gal line when Caldari start taking back systems and start pushing you guys back?

Last year it was Gals didn't plex because it didn't mean anything.. Then Caldari went AFK and Gals took a bunch of systems, so now Caldari are building back and it will soon be "didn't want that system anyway".. right?

Seems you guys have given up defending, now that it's not so easy to just out blob us.

Where are these Gals that like even fights? They must live in somewhere in the Mongolian time zone as I've never seen these rare unicorns you speak of.

Also before the excuse was always "Plexing didn't mean anything" or "Caldari have down time advantage" Now those complaints have been fixed. When you guys were winning it's was cool to plex, now that you seem to have given up defending it's back to "we didn't want those systems anyway".

You realize how easy you are to troll?
