Had fun. Also my Moros stayed out of structure \0/

No it should require a Fire Direction Officer/Role. Otherwise revert to automated target selection. But there should be a method to set clear targeting priorities..

as is a POS cannot even THREATEN a 10 Dread fleet.. not at all.. wont get a single kill...

POS ARE DEFENSIVE POSITIONS. They Secure Sov and protect the station in the system. They should NOT be impregnable walls. However even alone they SHOULD cause significant harm to an attacker, unfortunately at the moment you are correct, they are little more than speed bumps thus proving my point..

it is a Numbers game... and in Numbers games the Advantages lie with the Attacker who has the luxury of time to prearrange its Fleet. The Intent of a Defensive Position is to force an attacker to either take the time and material to remove it (at significant cost WITHOUT requiring the Defender to field a peer force) or bypass it. As currently implemented, unless the Defender is lucky enough to have pilots available AT THAT EXACT TIME the POS take down is a foregone conclusion.. in a very short period of time..

your 20 BS fleet will never get to the Dreads.. the Dreads pickets will stop them... only a fool brings out Capitals without an adequate support fleet.

I very much would like to know what CVA thinks they are doing here. More targets 4TW, but this is a bit of an RP stretch isn't it, fellas?

---

So if we roleplay we cannot make friends of other alliances? As I know some of you realize, CVA has been a friend of IAC for a long time. I am sure you get information from other sources as well.

What I wonder is why this is spun up now? Is there a particular reason for all the questions from MC about CVA and IAC at this time?

And to answer another question, CVA have had representatives in the systems most of the time this weekend. All due to time zones, though.

Now its not very nice to threaten people Sivona ;)

We are being loyal to our allies. Simple as that.

As for Snigg, we cannot control who IAC brings into the fray on their side.

Interesting, it seems MC are *****ing a little at the seems.

Threatening another Alliance for assisting to defend against a paid contact is very interesting.

Im begining to wonder how proffesional you are being here Seleene or is there more than meets the eye in this "contract".

It seems you are taking this personally rather than [i]proffesionally[/i, which kinda defeats the point of you being Mercenary pilots.

I hope this thread will expand without being clogged by crap as it makes an interesting read. For the little I've had the opportunity to whitness, kudos to MC: things are done efficiently with a balanced mix of planning, tactical flair, discipline and ressources. That's what you expect of experienced mercs.

However I'am a bit puzzled by the mindset of the few opponents I've had the chance to encounter on an individual level. I understand that as a corp, you guys are mainly interested by getting the job done and retrieving as many killmails as possible. It's the attitude your employers count on and you fulfill your role wonderfully.

But between corporate ops, trying to engage your people on an individual level is as interesting as watching drying paint, since at least until today, I've not been able to meet alone a single MC (or one of your allies for that matter) in the same ship class willing to accept a fight without being backed by a gang waiting to assist.

Don't get me wrong, no whine here. I'am simply trying to tell that these wars give us the opportunity to evolve in rich target environments. If the constant quest of absolute efficiency gets the top priority, IMHO we are indirectly lowering the amount of fun EVE can offer to PvP'ers. Again, while such attitude is of essence when acting within a corp operation, it doesen't preclude your members to relax a bit in their "free game time" and get an ardenaline rush by taking a tiny weeny more risks. And I say tiny weeny because it's not like the risk is big when you have scouts in all adjacent systems and you realize that one of us is definitely alone since we can't really hide from local do we ?

All corps involved in the current events, no matter their side, are here to fulfill a mission and will probably do it to the best of their capabilities. But IMHO, it would be sad if at the end all this begins to get the taste of a part-time job.

With respect ;)

What happened last night then? When the POS came out of reinforced? I turned up expecting a fight and then logged off when one didn't materialise.

---

Yeah. That's a damn shame, isn't it?

---

Well you didn't get a fight either, so, uh, congratulations?

---

As Grim stated, also if im not mistaken we were 3 jumps from you, whats stopping you coming to us :) if you were so desperate for a fight.
