Wow whats with all the handbags?
This was a great fight. I loved it. It's what we play for, on both sides.
Now onto the smack...I'm not good at serious smack so...
A young, freshly minted lieutenant was sent to Bosnia as part of the peace keeping mission. During a briefing on land mines, the captain asked for questions. Our intrepid solder raised his hand and asked, "If we do happen to step on a mine, Sir, what do we do?" "Normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump 200 feet in the air and scatter oneself over a wide area."

Originally by: SuiJuris you can try but I wasn't in station I was out and about pvp'ing, also while you have been discussing this I have racked up more kills then your top killer has for the whole week.
You guys really should try to accomplish something sometime.
Funny this comes up all the time. As a NRDS alliance we don't have as many targets. Any idiot can rack up kills if they choose to fire on anyone or to join a militia.
After being a pod pilot for several years I must say that in the end painting more rings on your barrels accounts for nothing. If you consider destruction in the name of some Empire that doesn't give a frak about you an accomplishment I am afraid you will be eventually disappointed.
Star Fraction has a quite solid combat record, but in my opinion our biggest accomplishments weren't made on the battlefield. Combat is only a means to an end.

SF How many kills have you guys gotten on your own w/out the minnie militia helping? Morale must be low when you cant get the better of the younger "upstart" pilots. See you on the battlefield.

You know... speaking as a third party that missed the whole thing.
Most of the time, the Amarrians are going on about how Star Fraction is irrelevant to the whole conflict - separated from the efforts of the militia, etcetera. Now, a Caldari fleet with limited Amarr support kills off some of their capships and it's a huge blow to the whole proceedings? You can't have it both ways, and a ****ing match works better when you're not using someone else's ****.
To SF... well, better luck next time. I'm sure we all know that any time one undocks anything it's a risk to everyone involved and sometimes you get bit. I'm also rather sure that you won't be long in recovering from it.

Originally by: The Cosmopolite Further, the Caldari State Protectorate can be assured we will remember well their intervention here and when it is least convenient for them we will remind them of it.
You might want to look back to year ago when SF attacked Caldari States forces. You might forget, we never do. That is the reason I have happily attacked SF ships along with Amarr. I do wish I was part of this fight but I cannot be everywhere at once.
So ask yourself. Did you perhaps bring this on yourself?

Be genital on Garst for all he knows is the blob. You will almost never see him with out 20 others to hide behind as that is a common state of affairs with-in FW.
A week or so ago I sat on a FW mission gate in my Myrmidon ready to sprig a trap on anyone whom decided to jump to my mission. Garst and his little band of Amarrios came along with 8 ships and landed on the gate with me and we started fighting.
I killed 3 of them before having to request help in Militia channel after they added a Pilgrim to the mix. Despite have a total of 9 ships vs my sole BC they could not kill me before back up (including SF) showed up from 3 or 4 jumps away. The back up made quick work of the rest of Garst's little gang giving "No Mercy" to them with only 1 escaping I believe.
Admittedly, Garst's gang worked over my drones pretty good, so at the end I wasn't doing much fighting, but obviously it's clear why he always needs a large numerical advantage before he will engage a target. When 8 t2 frigs plus a Pilgrim can not kill a solo BC, it's obvious you need... MOAR Amarrios with Guardian Alt's Please!

My congratulations go out to all the pilots and crews involved in this victory.
However, let us not forget that in many ways the Star Fraction are a diversion and that the Republic poses a more serious long term threat to Amarrian interests.

This really. It was a significant loss and anybody would be foolish to claim otherwise and it was noticeable that the 24th are now pulling out all the stops to confront the problem they have in Kamela including re-recruiting the Helljumpers and seeking large-scale Caldari support to bolster their fleet numbers. We even got our first incoming dec for months from said Helljumpers last night in the wake of the carrier losses so I guess certain jackels have smelled blood in the water!
At least one thing is now clear. No Amarrian pilot can creditably claim they are not focused on the battle of Kamela and the attempt to breach the fortress Star Fraction and our allies have built here.
Last night we fought as few against the many and we saw some amazing acts of courage and sacrifice from our friends and allies and even when it became obvious the fight was lost and there was nothing to do but die - we chose to die well.
In the Star Fraction we do not win all the time. Often we lose ships, often we take risks and often we find ourselves fighting desperate battles against the odds against foes who have taken all the advantage they can squeeze from the situation.
But to fight in such circumstances is the measure of a true pilot. In our place yesterday Garst and his allies would have ran a dozen jumps and hidden in the darkest station they could find while bleating about the odds and complaining about interlopers in the war between factions and shipping down to interceptors for the next 24 hours.
But we are not Garst. We are not dogs. We are not cowards and we are certainly not the kind of people who will shrink from aiding our friends and taking the opportunity to strike blows against the oppressive stink of Amarrian tyranny in the Bleaklands.
We fought. We strove. We died.
But when the smoke of battle cleared and the wreckage tumbled away into the night we remained. In battleships, ready and prepared for round two awaiting this declared onslaught - this "breaching the walls of fortress Kamela" and where was Garst?
I saw him twice within range of my ships scanner.
Once in a capsule. Once in a crusader.
While the rest of his organization remained stubbornly docked up in Ohide.
Perhaps "Fortress Kamela" isn't completely "breached" as yet. 24th Crusade has some more work to do on that score.
I raise a toast to the glorious dead on the Matari and Fraction sides. I spit in the face of the puling cowards and opportunistic jackals in the ranks of our foes. Last night your ships were so numerous you might well have blocked out the sun - but few did fight against many and that legend will live on longer than the fleeting glow of victory in the rapidly-chilling hearts of our opposition.
Farewell to the -JFS- "Shining Path" and her valiant crew. You died as heroes fighting close to your comrades unwilling to give up the battle as your allies struggled on that field.
Let that image haunt the sleep of these Crusaders and opportunistic Caldari carrion-seekers. You have hurt us, let us see if you have within your means the power to break us.
We'll return to this post in the future weeks to come and see if "Fortress Kamela" has been breached again and how often and how deeply you have struck in fulfilment of your boasts.

Jade,
Great fight yesterday, it gave me the eve bug again! Now I have never been good at the charicter thing, just wanted to say that I dislike you and yours, I remember when I was in Armada and you camped Amarr system constantly in your Geddon ar Abaddon.
We both know that Kamela will not be breached with out heavy out side forces. Amarr just doesnt seem to be intrested in the POS warfare and what it intails and SF can just bring a heavier hammer. (Some might beleive otherwise but!)
Great fight and hope to see you on the field away from stations again!

Fight would have been a lot more even had the Matari militia actually engaged rather than staying out of range. Guess the Star Fraction support is one way only.
Originally by: KillJoy Tseng Most of the time, the Amarrians are going on about how Star Fraction is irrelevant to the whole conflict - separated from the efforts of the militia, etcetera. Now, a Caldari fleet with limited Amarr support kills off some of their capships..
That is just it, they are irrelevant. They have taken to live in a system that the Matari for some reason enjoy camping so they can support them in relative safety. Their effect on the war is next to non-existent, an annoyance not dissimilar to a pebble in ones shoe. By the way, the State were even in numbers with the Amarr on the field so I can only surmise that your little jab was weak attempt at propaganda or you have erroneous intel.
Originally by: Jade Constantine <Damage control>
Huola was the base of operations at the start of the war. Constant raids by the Sahtogas pirates and several hostile capital owning entities insistence on camping the stations made Kamela the new base. Then the SF, this time a hostile super-capital owning entity, took to camping the solitary station in Kamela and base moved to all adjacent systems (yes that includes Sosala and Kourmonen).
Kamela itself was never more than a convenient place to store ships and equipment which has been amply proven by the reclaiming moving ahead undeterred in spite of your presence. On the upside, a vast majority of the militia now has ships ready throughout the theatre thanks to your "efforts" making suppression impossible and reshipping faster by far compared to the early days.
Perhaps it is time for you to count your losses and retract your support of the Minmatar Militia. Every day that passes your claims of being against centralized authority grows ever weaker unless of course you are purposefully disassembling your reputation as "free captains".

See, I'm getting mixed messages from your commanders. Either this was a great strategic victory that ended the myth of Star Fraction capital dominance and opened the floodgates to a resurgent 24th Crusade presence in Kamela your beloved outpost in lowsec and spiritual homeland (Garst) or it was simply and opportunistic fleet fight on the back of the Caldari that allowed you to regain a little pride and means nothing in the big picture (so why post two identical threads in two forums and shout to the heavens about it?)
You can't have it both ways Veshta. Either "Fortress Kamela" matters or it doesn't and if it doesn't what was this thread about?

Garst may of called it "fortress Kemela" but in reality it matters very little. As do you.
You are a Hypocrit of the worst kind.
You sit and complain about our third party support from the Caldari Militia WHEN YOUR ENTIRE ALLIANCE's Purpose is to offer THIRD party support to the Minmatar Militia. How many of your staggeringly small amount of kills come from the backs of your own pilots? Keep using the Minmatar Militia as slaves when you claim to be fighting to liberate them. I'm sure they receive better treatment at work camps then being used as your meatshields.
But continue to hide in there fleets in a cloaking ships shooting 1 volley at someone or activating 1 module on a ship already going down. Then claim that your having oh so much success when you can barely maintain a 60% efficeincy rating.

You need to look up the meaning of the word (like so many other of your companions). Nobody is complaining about you running to beg the help of the Caldari to assist you against the Star Fraction. In a way its a great compliment that you acknowledge you are incapable of defeating our far smaller groups in space without the aid of another Militia. Everything is fair in Eve. Thats what I've told you as I've overseen the jump-bridging of ten battleships to kill a single faction-loaded vindicator from your ranks - thats what I believe. You did what you had to do to achieve a victory yesterday. Enjoy it while you can.

You mean it ends with some of us going afk and the rest of us leaving to do other stuff while you camp a station that is basically empty. I don't see anywhere in my post where I admitted being incapable of killing you without third party forces.

Actually, I was shown a mail which was circulated today to various Caldari corps about being set to -10 for "unprovoked destruction" of SF ships. This was even to corporations who were on the receiving end of SF wardecs year ago in Caldari space.
Now, isnt this just laughable? After all, why should not these corps pursue their vengeance against their enemies even if SF has put the matter to rest on their end so to speak. I can say much hilarious laughter ensued on militia communication channels.

Well since we judge victory from you being forced to dock up in Ohide and hide from us I'd say we generally always win. Perhaps we simply consider these things differently - but being Free Captains of the Star Fraction we consider the ability to undock and travel freely in ships of our choosing rather important.
Your thinking betrays the limitation of assessing results entirely from killmails. You can kill more of the enemies ships and still lose if you are forced to run away and hide and go inactive.
It also goes a way to explain why you are incapable of planning an attack on a fixed objective such as the 5-1 POS depicted in the propaganda post at the head of the thread. There is a limit to what you can achieve without significant forces deployed to an extended presence in space.
Your fleeting engagements on the docking point in Ohide aside, I can't think of a single occassion when you've gained and kept an advantage in space from your own backs.

That pos in Kamela is a waste of time and you know it. We have absolutely no reason to destroy it. You might as well stop trying to bait us into attacking it. Its a non faction POS which are quite cheap, it would cost you next to nothing to replace and take you less time to anchor a new one then it would for us to destroy it. Why on earth would we spend money, and waste time on POS borefare to do little or no harm to you. When we could be out subjugating the Minnies.
SF accomplishes nothing and claims great victories. You have never been able to stop me from flying what I want where I want, when I want. I was a lone target in the AB-C corp EVERYNIGHT and conitnued to FC for the Amarr Militia in Battleships and Battlecruisers with no problem.
you call it a victory when you lose 6 battleships in 1 day and don't manage to kill anything and then spend some time camping a station full of afk pilots. Those of us who were actually active and roaming around FW space unhindered after the last battle had a good laugh at your local smack reported by the 1 pilot still semi active in Ohide.
Its nice having enemies so predictable. We have 3-5 members AFK in Ohide (after fighting you head on and winning.) for you to camp and the other 6-10 members go out and do whatever they please.
Seriously it takes you guys so long to bring a fight when we know one is coming sometimes, people have to put off real world things, then after the fight is over we just don't have the time to wait for you to grow a pair and come back out. So most of us either go afk or go elseware. But if you want to call these victories by all means, we are willing to give you such victories anytime.
Btw I'll buy Baruc anohter Ishtar if you want to trade 5 carriers for it and call that a victory again as well. --- I am taking pre orders for Navy Armageddons |

Its always good to rationalize a reason not to do a thing you are incapable of doing.
Quote: I was a lone target in the AB-C corp EVERYNIGHT and conitnued to FC for the Amarr Militia in Battleships and Battlecruisers with no problem.
Practically every time I actually saw you in space you were flying interceptors. We have heard reports of you ordering your entire group to reship to frigates because of the presence of four SF battlecruisers. You overestimate your ability to withstand our intediction really.
Quote: Seriously it takes you guys so long to bring a fight when we know one is coming sometimes, people have to put off real world things, then after the fight is over we just don't have the time....
Again, rationalize your cowardice as you please SuiJuris. You are an inferior pilot and you must take your chances where they come. Good thing for you is your evasive cowardice spares you the neccessity of buying new ships. But it does mean you are hardly in a position to prove your boasts with action in space. I laugh at your capability and challenge you to bring a fight and prove me wrong if you have the endurance to pursue a real objective for once.

The Star Fraction was legally declaring war to Amarr Militia corporations. This is no "third party support". This is direct action but not under the command of the Minmatar Government but by CONCORD laws.
Their engagement was successful. The Amarr Miliita was unable to field battleships for a long time. Until they started to evade Kamela and have given up the system. We seldom were finding larger groups of Miliita fleets in that system anymore. I call that a success.
Very few pilots were standing against many. And while most of the Amarr Militia only were daring very little for their Empress -you may see so many cheap stuff for a few millions on the battlefield- the Star Fraction pilots were daring billions of isk with every ship they fielded.
There is no shame in fielding small ships, I do that myself often enough. But who is daring and fighting for so long against the Amarr Miliita, so few against so many, has to accept some losses. That is natural and I don't see any Star Fraction pilot complaining about this. They are taking their losses with greatness and I'm sure the next capitals are already ready for fielding.
So there is no breach in the fortress Kamela. Never have been so few how have done so much for so many. Accepting losses and dangers for the cause of freedom, for the fight against slavery and false gods. Against a monsterous Empire that wants to swallow New Eden and destroy the diversity of religion, culture, indivudualism and freedom.
There have never been an enemy worth fighting that much as the Amarr Imerial idea. Never been a sole ideology that has shedded more blood and has seeded more suffering among the people of the universe.
Huge parts of the Amarr Militia was breaking the laws of CONCORD and have been punished with big losses of standing by this fight. They have proven to be pirates. Just take a look at the standings. And many were killing off very few ships but were on all capital kills. Without losing much of their own ever.
I take a look at the statistics of those pilots. Not that I give much on statistics, I don't give fedo excrement on mine, but they are now poisoned. By acts of piracy. I just checked the statistics of some of the pilots.
Let's just take one of the pilots of Amarr Miliita that I respect most: Veshta Yoshida. For I know she is one of the pilots that updates her losses honestly. She is on an efficiency of 88% with those capkills. But she only lost nine battleships her own.
I know that fighting the factional warfare is mostly done in frigate class vessels. But as a warrior she never dared to bring into the war at least a fraction of what she destroyed this one day. I call her a great warrior and don't doubt this.
But if I compare her involement and daring for her Empress with the daring of the Star Fraction pilots, the only thing I can do is to bow my head in shame. For I feel so deep respect for their fight and daring and it is for me like someone has put gasoline into the fire of freedom that is burning in my heart.
Sorrow for the thousands of crewmembers that were lost. A raising fist for those who went into the enslavement under the Amarrian knute which is worse than death.
We will come for our people. We will come for them and free them. When the flag of the Empire is burning on the capital of Amarr Prime. A salute for the brave battle of the Star Fraction. Many forget what it means to dare such values for the fight of freedom.
I do not. Even if I find myself still unworthy for the scale of their fight, it is inspiring. This may have been a defeat on the field, but for me it is a win in the hearts. A win in respect. Freedom has it's price. And I hope I'm wiling and daring to pay one that high like these heros of freedom.
Free Captains! Never give up, never surrender. Always Freedom! -- FREEDOM, PUNK & AUTOCANNONS

Originally by: Alica Wildfire We will come for our people. We will come for them and free them. When the flag of the Empire is burning on the capital of Amarr Prime. A salute for the brave battle of the Star Fraction. Many forget what it means to dare such values for the fight of freedom.
And if it is the flag of Matar that burns, what will you do then?
What if the empire frees your people, but they want to be a part of the empire, as so many have chosen, what then?
I never hear these questions answered.
