...to capture a system under the new FW game mechanics. The system was Tama no less, a well known system throughout all of EVE as a popular hot spot for pirate types and for people whom want to blow up internet space ships.

Cheers to all those that plexed it and the ones whom showed up to shoot down the bunker, which gave about as much resistance as the Galentte Militia did. The resistance being pretty much null & void. (ie they didn't show)

Tama used to be with-in the 4 or 5 jump radius, Gal Militia was willing to travel to get a fight, but seems it was just a bit too far out of their safety net last night.

Bolster, you don't understand what I'm saying. There are two distinct types of Caldari at this point. Those that PVP and those that farm LP. If it's State Pro people, I've bum rushed plexes with 1:3 to 1:5 odds against me, and they run. If you sit in the plex, they go one system over and start a plex there. If you follow them, they run to another plex somewhere else. On the other hand, then there are Caldari that will fight for every plex. I get 90% of my fights in plexes, I actually love it. When I talk about sitting on a button, I'm referring to the LP farmers. If we can break their morale and get them to farm isk elsewhere, then things will turn around for the Gallente. The PVP Caldari are hardcore and their morale won't break.

I heard they took it with a fleet of about 30 BCs. Gallente dominate US and EU TZ. Gallente will win most fleet fight during these times, but Caldari have more active pilots that spread out, run plexes everywhere, and do very well in small gang fights where they can avoid the Gallente "Jesus Blob". Caldari dominate AU timezone. You can kind of think of it as the Gallente win most of the battles, but are losing the war.

The Caldari are capturing around 150 more plexes per day than the Gallente, so that is around 50 man hours a day of extra plexing. It's now just a matter of whose morale breaks first IE do the Gallente give up or do enough Caldari grow weary of sitting on buttons that the Gallente can get the upper hand again.

The ingame militia member count is totally useless. That is the total number of pilots enlisted in the militia since 2008. There are TONS of inactive accounts in that number. They should really remove it as it provides no value.

We get fights orbiting buttons, I dont know why people keep saying that. I even had someone drop in on my test fit last night.

*shakesfist at cat casidy*


Really if you keep taking the mindset orbiting buttons is orbiting buttons, by all means do it.

You will be locked out of most systems in a month or so I predict.

This is because you guys live all hurdled up with-in 3 to 4 systems of each other and never leave a radius of 5 jumps away from those home systems. You guys have the numbers & the ability to spread out and combat Caldari but instead you guys hide in your blobs, scared of what might happen if you had to fight close to even numbers in small gang combat.

Caldari these days all live somewhat close to one another or at least in groups here and there but the difference is we are willing to leave our home systems and go out to hunt / hit your systems out side your blob zone where you guys can't fly with out boosters & easy reships.

Sorry bro, I led the fleet that captured Raa last week on Thursday, I think it was. But, congrats on taking Tama.

Good Work Caldari.. Another TWO station systems captured while I was at work.. Hallanen & Aivonen are now back in the hands of Caldari State.


Curious why Gals couldn't hold Aiv being it was captured 22:41 EVE time which is well with-in the time zone Gals claim control over..

They also lost capital fleet in Hallanen this morning

We shouldn't really brag about that, wasn't us that did it. Well, we made good bait I suppose.

Hopefully one day Cal Mil can fight on that scale. Until then, I suppose it's that or get clobbered. I'm really not a fan of the whole hotdrop thing, and I'd dearly love to see jumpdrives removed from the game, they're such a deterrent to engagements. But when it's an ad-hoc anything fleet vs a BS/logi fleet, or 2 triage carriers vs 2 carriers and 5 dreads, welp.

Lockout you woud'nt know how to plex fight if a condor hit you in your face. Its only a matter of time before you get kicked out of your space.

My only complain is that I was asleep during all of this

I dont think orbiting a button and then leaving when some enemy arrives is such a hard concept to understand lol.

Now there are consequences in FW, or more specifically, consequences for PvE in FW. Doesnt bother me anyway, there is another trick up our sleeves that will present quite a humorous solution to this if CCP cant figure out how to make plexing a PvP activity. :)

I do not know many of the Cal pilots that simple leave a button when someone comes in, unless they are purely at the task for isk (same as missioning) however the majority of the pilots I know will stay and fight.

The same claim that people are "orbiting" buttons and running can be made against the Gals. However, knowing what I do know it is the new FDU members (same as our pilots) that due this. Not the normal Cal players.

Heck Ill fight something even if its a remote chance of winning just to fight (my downfall) even if my intent was to make isk not fight.....

Due to this fact I have a big sticky on my computer screen that says "remember to switch out javs before engaging at close range"

*facepalm*

You sir are a liar and are completely full of poo.

You RUN from me every time I enter a plex and you are alone...every single time. Both in thrashers, bolster runs, both in t1 frigs bolster runs, hell i have feeling if i warped my pod onto your plex gate...bolster would run.

You mean "Alone in your thrasher and loki links in safe spot"? Tell me, why would anyone take "1vs1" if he knows other guy has links?

I dont boost solo smart guy, never have and never will. If I am in a fleet with boosts its not ALONE is it? You must have me confused with someone who is fail at pvp m8

Besides how would you know anyways, mr bomb knows only me and him are in system when he runs.

I'm really surprised to see this many systems fall already. It's starting to become obvious that two things are at play here;

a) Gallente probably don't like defensive plexing
b) Gallente don't like offensive plexing either.

With the fleets and personnel they have, I would think it become obvious to plex the hell out of those systems near Akidagi but they never took the time to do so. I think if you ask the Gallente to form large fleets (or blobs), they can do so. But given the new plexing mechanics and how it encourages small gangs tactics, this will not spell good things for the federation. I wouldn't be surprised if morale starts to decline soon.

However, I don't think the OP should be bragging too much either because it's not like his corp or much of CalMil are expert combat pilots when you look at the KBs. It's just that they are fortunate enough to leverage the large swath of farmers to their advantage with the new plexing mechanics that encourages nothing but farming.

What? lol I dont see you alone very often in a ship I can fight you in. A cynabol or drake against a thrasher isnt a fight.

The times I can remotely take a fight I do, even if I know I probably will lose.

(this was the most painful) in which you used a neutral cloak to get a warp in (solo again...right?...)

http://eve-kill.net/?a=kill_detail&kll_id=13275611 (solo again, right?) <----- caught me on a gate with those insta lockers


You sir are full of Poo.

I fight anything that provides a remote chance of a win. My kill board reflects that. I dont run unless its just dumb. And most times when you see nexx a fleet is following. Its not rocket science.

So you will be using the inherent bugs in the system, something you were so appalled I dared to do to show what your side was already doing? And yet you were quick to boast about chasing all cals back to high-sec and living off the fat of the land with impunity. Wasnt this system something you yourself praised because it would complete the downfall of Cal militia and were looking forward to spinning buttons for?

But now that our mission runners are actually doing something which helps us in general and forces you to boring activity is somehow wrong because it seems to give us a slight edge. Not that you cannot already cap all sized Caldari plexes in vanilla t1 frigate anyway so your argument about npc inbalance is completely irrelevant*.

Villore sounds nice this time of year, right? Then again, it's not like you will lose Nisuwa unless someting drastic happens since we would be fighting against gallente, minmatar and amarr miltiia if we make any headway since wbr promised hot-drop-a-clock if we make it vulnerable (One of the reasons i've refused all requests from my Amarr friends to come assist them).

*Though most of the time those vanilla t1 frigates simply run away.

Allrighty think what you want, so many excuses from bad pvp ers in this game its get old quick. But just a note on the tornado, its called a tactical safe. Anytime I move to an area I make dozens of safes off gates within several jumps. So when a nitwit like yourself sits in one spot without moving. Makes it fairly easy when I am able to warp to one 20km from you yeah?

Pro tip; When you warp to a safe 150km from the gate @100 its puts you 50 off the gate...must be a nuetral alt, amirite?
