Originally by: Albatheron As for the 0rphanage they donĘt seem like the Privateers from the recent past. They actually had some nice fleets hunting down targets. Not sure where there going or planning but the picture looks good so far for them. Locking down the major pipes as well as the major trade hubs while still having a decent fleet out hunting. It was a good war for a change in my opinion.
As much I want to believe your statement my realty with fighting them has been far different then yours.
"They werenĘt just pipe camping / Hub station tactics."
For the most part, most of them can be found on a daily bases camping the Jita to Amarr pipe, usually on the mad gate 2 jumps from Amarr. Depending on the Corp within the alliance they will be either in Rens, but again usually found camping the Middle Amarr Station or Jita 4-4.
For the last 2 weeks they where informed by Alliance mail from Pitboss to stay out of Jita and to not engage our gang because they would not get a "fair" fight
Our whole alliance consisting of 3-4 people was too much for there 300 man alliance, it came to the point where we had to made an effort and get out of Jita and go hunting. Anytime we did that, they would have there alts sitting 5-6 jumps from Amarr inform the alliance via there Intel channels and either go somewhere else or dock. Til we left or gave up.
As for RR they have there RR alts and plenty of them, when you undock from Jita 4-4 when there outside expecting a fight look behind the station and u will see there neutral RR.
The biggest problem with the 0rphanage like most people I have encountered is that the left hand don't talk to the right hand, you will have 2 different corps sitting outside Jita 4-4, one will be shooting there other one running away, our biggest advantage has been they don't work as a team just like the last alliance they where in.
There either afraid to lose there ships or just don't like following orders and do whats in THERE best interests rather then help there gang out.
As an example...
The 0rphanage talk about how they won't get a fair fight from us, either because of.. I fight with rare ships or Loki has 10 RR alts lol ( that there always complaining about, which is does not own).
If you look at there Killboard one of the last loses was a Tempest, In order for them to engage, it taken 45mins of station tricks me downgrading from a T1 BS to a T2 fitted Cane and them able to get neutral RR in position behind the station ( as expected).
Finally fight begins 8 Vs 2 there either in BS's or Hac's and 1 CMD ship, fighting 1 Cane and 1 Vindy, I start to engage the EOS, shoots back as there "gang" undocks, what I notice is there all locking me shooting, my other gang member undock and this is what I was talking about some of them are not all on the same page, Vindi undocks and 1-2 of them stop shooting.
EOS is going down but as expected he gets RR we decide to switch targets to the tempest again same thing his tank is failing getting heavy RR from behind the station. Since where masters of killing ships before they dock who have stopped shooting and getting RR our usual plan goes into action, and just before he is able to dock he goes down.
By this time most of them either have warped of or docked, again all of them are not on the same page and just looking out for themselves.
I'm not crying nor do I care, but I have a very different experience of fighting the 0rphanage.
Sure they are a funny crowd and provide lots of entertainment, a few might do roam around depending on what corp has joined there alliance, but at the same point in time it's no different from there last alliance.
All Pitboss cares about is how much he has made for the current week from the corps that are in the 0rphanage, since there required to make sizable "donations" on a weekly bases, either for the Wardecs or/and his wallet
