So the squids starting appearing all over the war zone and we're finally getting numbers, and I say very lightly, some confidence to fight. Waffles comes back and after one to two days all the squids are gone like leaves scattered in the wind. The biologist are saying this is a sever epidemic that could have left the squids once again in the endangered species list.

All jokes aside, what happened to all the squid entities. You guys were finally getting together, making friends, and starting to actually support one another. Now, I'm lucky to find a solid number of you guys out and about...WTB pew pew that isn't just pirate groups

Possible, I guess, but rather unfortunate if so. I would hope Mira wouldn't do something like that behind everyone else's back.

the RZR fleet was gate camping

and this ladies and gentleman......is exactly why you shouldn't blob the living day lights out of everyone you see......sooner or later you get these threads.

In high-sec? I may not be up to date with my high sec mechanics but my understanding is that would be doing it wrong. For an hour. 1 skip and a jump from enaluri. lol.

Just go easy on the kids is all I'm saying.

No joke I'm at the point of my eve career that if I kill a ship that is t1 fit I feel bad about it.

1. RL Summertime for most of our members so attendance is down (World Cup, Vacations etc etc.)

Nah they just copied our doctrines

Anyway even if he did - I doubt Templis would even have enough Guardian pilots to fly your corp doctrines

when innia fell wasn't it school and hols and now the summertime, ill complete my excuse bingo card with 2 more

1) cos autumn (leaves falling off the trees and everyone's out watching that)
2) cos winter (and Santa clause)

Perhaps the easiest of the hardest targets (i.e. Gallente home systems) but certainly not amongst the easiest targets on the map. It's also right next door to Nenn.




I guess I'm mainly thinking of fights like these:

(edit: the forums are mangling these addresses by inserting amp;amp; into them three times for some reason - you'll need to manually delete that addition to get the BR.
edit2: bear in mind that the BRs only include those pilots who appeared on killmails, not all who were involved in the battles, so most of the Gallente fleet is missing from the first two as there were almost no Caldari losses.)

What's really significant here to my mind is seeing doctrinal uniformity across a Caldari general militia fleet, decent amounts of logi on field, and wins against fully logi-ed up Gal fleets (with T2 logi in two cases). These are all new experiences for me in system battles.

I also wouldn't discount all the T3 losses. In a battle where you bring a T2/T3 cruiser fleet plus battleships and faction battleships against a T1 cruiser fleet and lose a T3 in the pitched engagement, that's just a straightforward loss.

Cos environmental factors and well-known calendar events don't real guys!

Only a statement that things have been slightly quieter than usual over the last four days because of ... what exactly? ... will be satisfactory. Away with your real life nonsense and rational explanations!

Confirming that no one in Galmil watches the World Cup or takes vacations. We're that serious about internet spaceships.

Fixed.

I'm just chalking this up to global warming.

1. They are in perpetual Tier 1 right now, and even their home systems are getting hit by plexers. So, they are balling up a bit.
2. Plexes are harder. Their guys are probably turning more to missions to make their isk instead of being available for fights in plexes.
3. In our area Sniggwaffe has returned and put a big damper on Squid activity in Kinnaka. Many squids seem to pile up in Kehjari instead, or go to high sec.
4. The inability to adequately contest Enaluri last weekend (it was a "marginal draw", started at 10%, ended a bit below 10% contested level) has probably lead to a bit of "I'm going to go do something more interesting than beat my head against the wall" thinking.

Except that in 9 months fighting for the Federation, I never witnessed GalMil refusing to fight. Not even against the TEST locusts. Worst case: grab derptrons, harass, die gloriously (and ISK-efficiently).

If I correctly interpreted your post as GalMil blobing CalMil.


EDIT: also, thanks for your Avenging Angels thread. I've never been in your warzone, but it was a great read!

In my humble opinion, many gallente will not fight generally equal fights. They typically require a couple additional pilots or a few more 0s on the price tags of their ships.

I have seen numerous gal fleets not take even fights.

That said, there are still many brave gallente who will offer good fights.

It all comes down to your little slice of FW perception and what you believe to know what your opponent is thinking/wanting/doing without actually knowing anything and therefore assuming that your way is some how the better way...

If by 'equal' you mean having to warp into a plex where the opposition is already setup to pounce on the 'easy button' warp in that plex fighting provides....then yea....no thanks.

Trust me...I've been doing FW for 5 years. Each side is the same - they run - they blob - they need EWAR - they need logi - blah blah blah... It all comes down to your little slice of FW perception and what you believe to know what your opponent is thinking/wanting/doing without actually knowing anything and therefore assuming that your way is some how the better way...

Fixed. The only FC that could save Caldari is Super Chair, and he'll use Basilisks instead.

You are a smart cookie for a smelly alcoholic Gallente scumbag.

Merlins > Atrons

In no particular order

1. RL Summertime for most of our members so attendance is down (World Cup, Vacations etc etc.)
2. Those that are here are finding it increasingly difficult to earn isk in FW due to the last changes, as the Galls hold most (if not all) of the FW mission hubs and to quote Crosi "The pendulum was removed last patch" which especially with reduced numbers (see 1.) means we have little realistic chances of getting any of them back anytime soon means many of those that are still here are now off on alts in Null or Incursion fleets.
3. When we do manage to get Frig/Dessie/Cruiser fleets or gangs together , lately you have been countering with T2 Hac's and Logi's. We currently cannot compete with these, not that we don't want to but 80% of Calmil don't have the SP to even get in them. Its something were addressing but it is going to take a considerable time to rectify.

TL;DR If you 'WTB more pew pew' as you put it bring out stuff thats comparable to what we can field at present and we will fight you all day long.

I would assume most of your pilots have Caldari cruiser 5.
