Over the last year and a half wars have been changed in such as way that the mechanic is hugely biased in favor of the defender. If you can't figure out how to not get horribly beaten by people when the game itself is biased in your favor then you're doing something wrong. Oh we've tried. We formed a fleet with logi and some cruisers, only to be chased away by Bhaalghorns and a fleet of t3 and neutral reppers. Thing is, this has been going on for weeks on end now. It is hard to keep an alliance together if were ordered to just stay docked for that long....and its in the end hurting moral. Kind of doubt we can muster up enough guys to even try a fleet similar to that again.
If you have an alliance, not just a corp, that can't handle a few little war decs, you might start looking for a new group. It's really not hard to survive, and even maintain functionality during a war dec.
Tips - WATCH LOCAL. You have an mechanism that gives you perfect intel. WTs cannot be in system without you knowing it. Every mining ship you alliance looses is the explicit fault of the pilot not bothering to open his eyes and pay attention to what's going on in system.
- Don't be where they expect you to be.
- Alt haulers. It takes no time at all to train a logistics alt that you can leave in an NPC corp for when you have to move things around.
- Communicate. If your alliance were worth a damn they'd have intel channels to keep track or WTs, which can give you additional warning beyond that you get from WATCHING LOCAL.
- Don't feed them, they won't dec you again. Every ship lost to a war dec, that wasn't in an engagement of the defenders choosing is a mistake, period. Dead miner, wasn't smart enough to WATCH LOCAL. Dead missioner, wasn't smart enough to WATCH LOCAL. Dead hauler, wasn't smart enough to pause training for a couple of days to get an alt hauler up and running.
It is not that hard to survive in a state of war. Everyone of us that lives in nul sec survive everything you are dealing with and more (bubbles, hot-drops, bombs, etc....) every day. Use your head, work with your allies, don't be easy targets. |
