No, really... what's wrong about forming in highsec? My point on this matter is simple: if FC asks to form in lowsec, he has reasons, if he asks to form in highsec, he has reasons too.
If you are talking about Nourv, it is very nice system to form a fleet: Jita is only a couple of jumps away, plus the system is swarmed with militia and forming fleet won't spike the system and alert possible enemy scouts, it's a really nice place to hide your fleet ;)

But you came up to our standard. You moved out of Villore, you moved into Low Sec, you and a few other corps got your acts together. You are much better for it. But you got to admit you have moved on a LOT since Villore, and if honest you have to say you had to. And I know QCats and SoTF are much better corps than you were. And you did it by doing all the things I suggest, stop flying with NPC players, have smaller groups of players who trust each other and move forward, rather than always work with the lowest denominator.

If in all honest I thought QCats would be better than SoTF, but even though both are now 100+ members SoTF have done other things and have gain some respect outwith FW.

But I have much love for both! But until Caldari can pick up this challenge 2 100 man corps in FW is gonna be very boring!

IIRC i brought those new bloods into HP- just for us to be told we were a bunch of spies, ignored, rejected from fleets (unless i was actually there to vouch them in) while im personally told to drop this guy from corp or that guy from corp just because they were new to the game or new to fw.

its not that they dont have any strong leaders, they have several. the majority populace just wont accept singular leadership. they generally wont accept advice either.

why not giving (serious...not the joke that it is now...) lp for kills, while we're at it?

lot of text

IMO, this is exactly why removing FW missions and giving LP for plexes is a good idea. The problem with missions is that there is no way to fail the farmers mission short of camping the mission for 12 hours (with the exception of one mission).

If plexes were the only way to gain LP, when an opposing militia member came and chased out the farmer, the farmer wouldn't be able to just wait for the militia member to get bored since the militia member would have incentive to stay and finish the plex getting LP in the process.

Decisions would need to be made in terms of how much LP to pay esp when there are multiple people in the mission, but it would make the farmers life more difficult, and focus more attention on plexes instead of missions. It would allow pvpers to undue farmers work if they only used pve fits.

Yes, the farmer could still find a backwater system: However, people who love to chase these farmers around (like X G) would have a much easier time doing it, since the farmer would have to sit in the plex for a certain amount of time, and the farmer would run the risk of getting his work undone by an opposing militia member if he had to run from a pvp engagement.

I'd say a lot gets exaggerated on the forums as to how bad the chat is, but there is obvious trolls with-in Caldari Militia as there are in any militia chat. I think we just tend to get a bigger number of them. (hell we even had Genos Occidere for a week til they go bored, I think they even trumped the Gal spy trolls)

Well the LP awarded should be the size of the plex with a mutliplier thrown in for how contested the system is. That way people have a choice plex in high risk highly contested systems for biggest return or plex a backwater system for a lower but less risky return
Either way your helping the war effort rather than just yourself.

Sorry if its a bit off topic but the mud slinging was getting boring anyway P.

Okay, so what you are saying then is that you are elite because you can camp in a bomber/mission shitstar with frigs while you are most likely outnumering the camped in target by a fair bit, and you are compleining about the fact that Trov uses a carrier to rep his ship and a booster in a system where he is outnumbered 5 to one very often. I agree Damar, you are elite.

Yeah, we saw you guys and tried to get a fleet up, but we only had 4 folks active. Its been good to see you guys and some other new corps out and about lately.

Back to the thread topic - The caldari (and other states too) 'missioner' problem would get largely solved if they fixed them so you cant run level 4s with an inty and SB. People would have to fly real ships and would be interested in intel then. They would also have real risk to running the missions. No reason to pay attention to intel or leave FW if you can fly around in basically an uncatchable ship. Also, cloaky tech 3 cruisers are lame.

You mean he wants to be a huge nerd living most of his out-of-work life in a game? But I digress.... Sorry about that.

Nobody in the Miltia has the sack to force people to train for certian ships, 3 basi's with some drakes and rooks = one raging Gallente man. If they wanna go nano? shield scimi's with lach support and loki boosts, if they sensor damp those scimi have dedicated remote sebo scipted targeting range, God I would make an exclenent Chef for the squids

so what about the hating while i was still in calmil? again your failing hard bro

Woah now, I love the caracal and have been flying it for years. It's just a chore of getting everyone else to fly them.

Not everyone fights in plexes..where you are dictating the range right from the start. The most common place fights happen are around gates which usually means very close range combat.. This is bad news for Caracals when facing other T1 cruisers like Ruptures, Vexors or Thoraxs.

The Caracal just doesn't have grid to really fit much to even compare with the stats of your Rail Thorax. If you fit T2 HML's you can get roughly 300 DPS. If you fit T2 HAM's you can get just over 400DPS which sounds fine ... except you can pretty much only fit a MWD unless you use both your lows for fitting mods and possible rig spots as well.

This means to get anything somewhat useful using med launchers you have to use T1 meta or drop a launcher which takes away from your already pitiful DPS in a Cruiser size hull. The Caracal simply does not have the power grid to fit Med weapons on a "useful" set up.

It pretty much makes the Caracal a 1 trick Pony meaning the only real viable fits are Light Assault missiles. Despite what BM or whom ever might say as to how great the Caracal is.. I really doubt you will see many 1v1 cruiser kills on their KB's where they were the victor using a Caracal. (ok I'm sure they have probably killled some noob at sometime in one but reality is the Caracal is only a 1 trick pony of anti frig killer or fleet support in a gang)

Meanwhile look at the range of fittings you can do with a Vexor, Thorax or Rupture.. All can fit their native "med" weapon systems + fit damage mods, MWD & tank.

Example a all level V char in a Rupture ends up with 1075 power grid.. Thorax has 1025.. Meanwhile that same char in a Caracal ends up with 662.5 power grid. This makes it next to impossible to fit out a useful med weapon system. With out gimping your entire fit with power upgrades.

Confirming 220 Caldari Navy BCU's were made by 6 squids in a month

our militia chat is full of gal alts and u and my smack if I an in mood.... start killing stuff .... http://caldari.eve-kill.net/?a=alliance_detail&all_id=1295&view=corp_kills&m=01&y=2012

It's podding enemy militia members that gets you to -10 real fast with State Pro.

Right, but not being able to run missions would deter some.

And I didn't realize podding is what kills your enemy militia corp standing. Probably why I'm nearly -10 with FDU. I actually didn't even notice it until I went to repair my empire standings. I just figured it was from plexing.




It's not the missions. The promotions give you a bump with your empire, and you get the negative bumps you would normally get from a faction standing increase.
