Wars fought with words and egotism seldom last long. With the barbarians at the gates, the rulling class simply does nothing but pontificate on and on about the power of their god.

Prayers don't kill, well positioned munitions do. Violence is an easier religion to follow.

Easier is not always right, Mister Kaine. The Empire is not filled with idle chatter about the power of God and the negligence of the threat at our door. The Empire is facing a period of tribulation at present, with trials ahead but we are not laying down our arms and we are not defeated.

Could've fooled me.

I suspect that's a short trip.

Crusaders are wonderful opponents, they're just rare. The more common war profiteers tend to bring the chances of any possible conversation or fair engagement down though.

The Amarr need more man power and to lose the common thought process that you need battleships and battlecruisers to engage some frigates and a destroyer or two.

This is an interesting viewpoint. While I may not condone combat for combat's sake or sport, I respect and admire those seeking an honorable engagement. Perhaps we will meet on the field of battle one day.

Perhaps if Mr Raholan feels that strongly he should leave the Imperial Academy and sign up with the militia.

I look forward to hearing about his progress.

Until such time when the Amarr finds itself a competent fighting force I will monitor the developments from the side.

The Imperial Crusaders I encounter usually flee and attempt to return in a fleet composed of larger, more technologically advanced vessels to assure an easy victory, which leads to the Minmatar avoiding them so as to avoid pointless losses.
At least that happens when you can actually find them.

Hopefully. It's a war that has to be waged, from either side. To abandon honor is to become a monster.
It's a shame so many profiteers have entered the conflict either side. I know the common capsuleer only cares about ISK, but it still aggravates me seeing them seep into Empire matters.
Hopefully they'll return into the lawless abyss and continue their horrendous crimes out there until a time when the 4 Empires can expand outwards. That could be an interesting turn of events... But I understand all 4 Empires are preoccupied with other matters.

The Amarr vs Minmatar conflict is a battle to the very foundations of what either stands for. The Minmatar must ride their hatred and thirst for vengeance until we're completely free, or we'll collapse into despair. The Amarr must push back and attempt to purify us and bring us back into the fold lest their entire faith and communal soul fails, they can't possibly fall.

Despite the immense emotion and the common view that slavery is flat out evil this conflict is far from black and white. Amarr should rally behind that fact. If the Amarr Empire truly is the only hope to save Humanity, their resolve must be absolute and their drive unstoppable. For all we know if the Amarr fail countless souls will never reach Heaven. It saddens me that Amarr seems to have the least amount of loyalists among capsuleers. The Empire should consider uplifting Amarr who actually behave like Amarr.

.a few dedicated pilots cannot resist a well organised and motivated enemy (as much as It pains to admit that).

I wish there was a charismatic leader and an inspirational organisation to rally behind.

My, my.

When the enemy is at your gate, how different a perspective it is, eh?

Wisdom is gained from examining various perspectives. In this, perhaps an opportunity for the Empire to gain a new perspective is a blessing in disguise.

Perhaps you'd like to enjoy the perspective of a slave chained to the floor of a jet can floating in space. It would be quite enlightening for you.

Given the Militias clear lack of direction and myself not being the one to bring it there would be no advantage in joining the militia at this point in time...a few dedicated pilots cannot resist a well organised and motivated enemy (as much as It pains to admit that).
