Noriath, I had to look up what alliance you were in, because I'm becoming seriously disturbed by your alliances apparent lack of creativity in the pvp department.... from reading your descriptions of your alliances gang activities, and methods of response, it's like there is a mental block or an inability to cope any time you have to deal with hostiles.
Hours of camping, inability to think outside the box.. I've heard some horror stories concerning your alliances inability to deal with raiders, but this is sort of cementing my thoughts on it. The 'blob', and the will to camp is not the means to survival as an alliance; you can force out smaller opponents from their own space with tactics like that, but they are nearly useless in matters of defence against a near equal sized foe.
Hopefully, when Kali progresses, and constellation sovereignty kicks in and more automatic defenses come into play, you'll be able to hold your own against the small raiders, but based upon your views (if they are widely held) I wouldn't bet on even short term survival were one of the other big 2 to take a shot at you... with or without Kali.
Evolve man! And find some damn FCs who can be creative and aggressive.
Ahh the old ä gang up and catch themààôcommentary. If it would be so easy. Maybe in your theoretical fantasy world against some stupid nops such ôtacticsö will be successful.
I the last year we had gain enough experience about what raiders are able to do.
Against experience raiders in small ship (mainly Interceptors) you have almost 0% to catch them or do you relay think he donÆt know about the ôwarp toö button?
If raiders appear you must interrupt your current mining operations, you must fly to your POS to change ships and then a useless ôhuntö begins which can take hours. As long as the attackers stay in the system you cannot return to normal work.
And what happens when you bring reinforcements? Yes they log out. Nice, isnÆt it?
After some boring senseless ôhuntsö we discovered that the best way is to ignore the raiders and fight back with ôboredomö. We log and play another game.
And please donÆt call such game play ôtacticsö it is only insufficient game mechanics (easy savespoting, log out, insufficient (POS) scanning abilities (which will change I hope), local)
