Anyhow, just reading stuff like this gives great insight into EVE pvp. Not so much that people shooting their own milita happens, but the fact that not a single person mentions the arrival of what should be a team mate as a good thing. Or even that finding another "team" mate is a good thing. Instead the instant inclination in this game is to run??? That's what the census here is stating afterall.
Seriously, I'm a pvp newb, but wouldn't the idea be to form fleets with the people you meet since you're both after the same goal anyhow??? AND THEN.... get this... If you encounter a "real" enemy, not a "team" mate you could then fight as a group, and maybe stand a better chance of winning right?
I still plan on giving it a try someday, but all I can say is greedy ****s are not fun to play with.
Mate don't be put off by the bitterness among the vets trolling these forums.
I play pretty much how you describe it above. With one creveat. I'm always ready to defend myself against an agressor (even if he is 'allied' to me because he's in the same militia)
There are awoxers and douches all over eve but it doens't mean you need to follow bittervet advice and become one. As long as you accept it that you will lose ships to these players from time to time then you'll do fine.
And if you do get awoxed just red the player, keep an eye out and blap him first next time, Eve has consequence. The reason there are awoxers and douches is that the majority of eve lets them behave that way by basically ignoring them. This is'nt kindergarden where ignoring action stops the child from coninuing to do it for atention. Blap them more
After all that is the point of pvp....to shoot stuff That is the Way, the Tao.
Balance is everything. |

Isn't there a penalty for shooting your own militia? |

Ujio, most people I play with are in their 20's or 30's with professional jobs. While this game can be 'serious business' to many, it isn't a requirement to devote 40+ hours a week to it. While FW may be an isk farmland to some, there are still plenty of us who will PVP with you in good spirit whether flying with you or against you. |

Wait until you have some bad experiences. I warped into a plex with a Minnie in it. I immediately burned off as some Caldari chased me in. I convoed him and asked if he would fight. We fight and killed them off. I then sat there for a bit and relaxed as he didn't seem like an awoxer. Next thing I know he is at 0 on me and has my kitey ship scramed and webbed. It only takes a few bad apples like this, but it happens.

Correct.
I just can't get the hang of this faction warfare caper. No matter how long I sit in the plex the little bar just refuses to move. I get so irritated that I just HAVE to engage the next person who warps in! Hooray, I'm l33t! -á(Kil2: "The higher their ship losses...the better they're going to be.") |

it seems most militia mates i've come across will actually tell you to leave "their" plex and shoot you if you don't.
i find this a bit sad.
It can be really annoying when I spend 10+ billions to set up frigates, destroyers and cruisers for multiple accounts, spending hours to sort everything out and then some casual... player who can only be described with a very inappropiate 4 letter word jumps in at the last 30 seconds to waste my time, his time and the whole militia's time (he could be running another one). |
