Your previous thread suggests you don't even have a rudimentary understanding of starship engineering. So I'm going to say - joining the Amarr militia? For you, bad idea. For the TLF? Good idea. Best idea.

You should totally do it.

Well there's a surprise.

I thought you Amarr had to be held back from joining up and forcing your ridiculous beliefs on anyone unable to stand up to you.

Ha ha! You guys crack me up!

1. How much of a threat is the minmatar forces, really?

2. If 1. is "not much", are more militia really needed? Would I be contributing meaningfully or just getting in the way? Is there somewhere else I could deploy myself more effectively? Or do we have the situation basically under control which means that I can go shopping for clothes and shoes and not worry?

3. I've heard that many Amarr militia talk in strange dialects that an Amarr girl of polite society like myself wouldn't understand. Any truth in this? I don't want to rub shoulders with uncouth lower-class feral types who can't express themselves properly and drool excessively.

4. I like the thought of helping the Empire but combat seems a bit icky. I can handle things blowing up in a ball of fire which would be kind of amazing actually but I don't want to see corpses depressurize, I think that would look gross. Am I forced to look at that? How much blood and guts is there? Also, does dying hurt? I'm not really into pain.

1. That is a bit scary. Do you think it could spill over to outside the warzone? That's what concerns me most.

3. I suppose it would. So who are the real knuckle-draggers?

4. You're not really selling me much on this you know.

Of course, my opinion is just my own and doesn't represent all Amarr or anything. I know others think different.

I think there's room for everybody in the galaxy.

The Federation could use someone like you.

It looks to me like you've got all the qualifications the Empire is looking for these days, and based on you intelligent and astute postings you'll make Admiral in no time.

In my first couple of weeks of capsuleering I've made about 8 million ISK. I know that's nothing to you super-rich folks but personally I could easily just give up and go back planetside and retire on that. However, because I'm such a morally upstanding citizen, I feel the urge to do more for my society now that I'm in this position of power to generate far more income than I know what to do with.

The last time I had questions on this forum, some of you genetically inferior specimens complained that I left you out, even though I made it clear that I wasn't addressing you anyway. So, to any minmatar reading, here are some bonus questions just for you, so you can be happy and complain less.

Is it the minimatar intention to take over the entire Empire, or just the dirty bits that look like the same colour as your ships?

You would need to ask someone more experienced. Though I hear poor comments about Fweddit.

You really should get that obsession of yours sorted out.

It's not about selling it. It is not about what you want, it is about serving and defending the Empire.

If you are selfless enough to do so, then you should do so. But if you are not then you should not. I am merely telling you the reality of it.

Now that is funny.

I didn't think you guys had opinions.

I stand corrected.

Or start you're own corp and run it from day one.

I hear militia work is well nasty, and half the time you undock, some joker's gonna blow you arse over ****.

On the other hand they got these militia lotteries where you win shiny navy ships, and you gets to hang around Amarrian blokes in uniform. So it can't be all bad.

You will be outnumbered three to one on a good day. Some will argue that's not the case based on enrollment numbers, but enrollment doesn't mean "active" and very, very few militia pilots are actually anymore. Those who are are either A) in massive fleet organizations that are very paranoid about taking in any new people/outsiders or B) still flying solo/small gang and getting constantly thumped due to the above mentioned bad odds.

So unless you've got an uncle or something in PIE then you can pretty much forget about being anything other than a cheap kill-mail for a gang of insufferably arrogant tribals.

The situation is basically screwed and that's exactly why you should just buy clothes.

The Empire? No. New Eden? Yes. And only if by "take over" you mean "exterminate all non-Matari life." Their goal is utter & complete genocide, plain and simple, first of us and then eventually everyone else who isn't of "superior tribal blood."

If you cannot stand the idea of violence then I suggest you look elsewhere for employment opportunities. This is war and it will take a part of your innocence and idealism away, if not most of it.

You are clearly not ready to delve into this aspect of capsuleerhood. I suggest you either leave the life now or ease into your inevitable fate and enjoy what you have left of your innocence now.

That said, militia work is not for the selfish. When you join the 24th Imperial Crusade you are not doing it for yourself, but for the peoples of the Amarr Empire. You are there to protect them, not your queasy stomach. If you cannot get over that fact then do not bother.
