This pretty much sums up my experience in qcats, there were formal mode fleets and then there was chatgris yelling in comms that he had a shiny ship pointed 5 jumps away and everyone converges  |

dont agree .... one of the reasons IBS was more successful in the days of Galente blob was we were mobile and flexible (despite some murmuring in our lines about moving here and there) ... I had same experience from pie life with EAK. If u dont have superior numbers u have to be able to pack ur stuff and move. Problem of Caldari is that most of the leaders are not flexible and not able to think out of the box (Gallente has same, but u dont lack the numbers and sps). And also everybody has feeeling how big messiah he is (have need to crucify them all). As I said keep moving and shooting .... organization is something u have to sort too, but it is hard to sort it if people are lazy station huggers or band breaking fags. Once u get them out of the station box, they will be willing to join ur crazy ideas. Also less experienced players can see more experienced pilots do some good piloting (I am not a superstar, but can do some dirty sleazy tricks with some ships and noobs in my corp can see them in action).
Quality of pilots matters, quallity of FC matters, willingness to go out and try to fight 1 v 10 (in some weird setups or under diferent conditions) matters.
IBS was also largely successful because of your "high profile" strategy. When you made IBS back then you made it clear that you wanted the corp to be high profile. With all the posts/blogs about everything IBS did, good or bad, it got IBS attention and got people back into caldari militia after the "exodus". (Also forums weren't as boring as they are today...) IBS was the first caldari player corp to break 10k kills and it still leads as having the most kills over other caldari corps even though other corps have had almost a year to catch up after IBS's decline. (THE4 are about 11,500 and will probably overtake IBS's 12k+ kills soon). IBS held that title for almost a year (or maybe it's been a year by now, who knows?) and that's pretty impressive.
There aren't really any movers or shakers in cal mil these days. Everyone wants to go about as how they've always done it. Gavin and others tried to get people to base in areas like ichoriya, something other than enaluri, setup new comms/forums, etc, but there really wasn't much support behind it (theres a seperate movement to base in hysera/hasmijalaa, and some corps have done so, will be interesting to see how that develops ).
Fleets still lose a significant number of ships/pilots due to the camps in enaluri. If you're out gunned/outnumbered and are still losing pods, frigs, BCs or whatever to gangs with 3 carriers (when you already lack numbers to neut out, out dps the reps of, or jam even 1 carrier effectively) providing reps, remotesebos, etc even when you have your "insta undock" then maybe it's time to think outside the box.
P.S. if you're interested in FW its a pretty decent place to make isk and get casual pew pew (still can get big fights, but not so likely ATM). It's a good place to log in and get pew pew within a short amount of time after logging in, it can be a solo fight, a small gang fight or even a larger fleet fight, FW offers most demographics of your prefered gang size. |

Damars attitude is the least of the militias worries. I think the attitude that people carry when they don't like someone and refuse to work together under any circumstance and would just rather make personal attacks on the forums hurts the militia more than a mild ass chewing if you screw up (usually meaning death for some/the rest of the fleet) in one of damars gangs. Yes he could be nicer when going about letting people know that they're did something ******** and made a mistake, but I think everyone in the militia should be looking to fix their own attitudes first.
Also, highlighted a part of your post, if you think thats the problem, I believe you need to think long and hard about what's actually plaguing the militia. |

Didn't intend to derail this into a 'bash dracco' thread (tbh its not, nobody get butthurt, read mantis's post about manning up again if need be) but the point is a lot of people (myself included) have carried pretty bad attitudes at one point or another. For instance, just today some new guy is like "o/ im new to militia how do i get in fleet?" I asked him if he had a gag reflex (joking around) and the rest of the militia immediatly started to tell him that he should join gallente and that we suck, etc etc. Probably lost some potential new blood there, but this happens on a daily basis, and you wonder why caldari's numbers keep shrinking and gallentes grow  . Everyone needs to carry a better attitude, even if theirs is normally pretty good. |

I dont see how it is any different if you made LP for plexing. If I go to a plex, opposition comes I warp away. I go to another plex. Same thing happens in missions. Opposition comes, missioner warps off nd pops the next mission nextdoor. You do realize that with plexes respawning every 30 minutes that the proposed system will not give you anymore people to blob. They will just keep moving on, and plex where you arent (just like how people mission where you are not). Maybe under the old plex spawning mechanisms where there is limited amount of plexes would this system feed anymore kills into the gallente noob grinding machine.
If you want plexing to be meaningful, what about making VPs tradeable for stuff. Capturing offensive plex gives a little bit of VP, but flipping system gives lots of VP based on how much VP everyone had and rewarded more VP to those who actually plexed and less to those who just came to shoot bunker (still make rewards appealing to both, just give the guys who do plexing work extra). Also there can be mechanics regarding occupancy implemented that might make it worthwhile. Removing missions and making plexes LP is just a gimmick. I'd like a meaningful occupancy system rather than just hunt missioners all day. It's like stabbing someone in the sack when they complain of minor headache. Sure theyll forget the pain they had originally but now you've created a worse problem. Thats what removing missions and having plexes for LP would do. |

SPDR and SOTF definitely do go toe to toe with the pirate corps. QCATS no longer has the capability of fighting the pirate corps toe to toe. We are more of a skirmish warfare Corp, it's just who we are. We just don't roll heavy without having a specific reason. Also, QCATS is now well under 100 members.
So you're saying we don't have to see the navy domi blobbed dubbed "the package" ever again? Promise?

My personal favorite:
Plexers: We need help in X system, lots of gallente here to fight!
Caldari FC: Cool we're on our way
*Caldari fleet arrives, gallente run away to reship and get more numbers. Plexers begin capping plexes*
Plexers: They'll be back, just stay here for another ten minutes while we secure these, there will be a fight over these plexes.
Caldari FC: I'm hearing rumors about 3 pirates gatecamping fifteen jumps away, I'm going to drag my 30 guys over there to see if we can gank them. They surely won't scatter when they see that local spikes.
Plexers: ........There's a garunteed fight here. Just wait a couple more minutes.
Caldari FC: Feck that, plexing isn't PvP! *Caldari Fleet Leaves*
*Two minutes later, 30 gallente spike local, plexers are forced to bail*
Caldari FC (Twenty Minutes Later...): Oh hey turns out that there wasn't any pirates there, Did you say something about there being a fight to be had over a plex?
Plexers: ........................................... |

chatgris wrote:Mutnin wrote:Gallentte actually have a similar situation but it's slightly reversed. They have a decent range of very effective frigs & Cruisers but BC's aren't the best for gangs. The Myrm is still a workable small gang ship, but It's not going to compare to a gang of Drakes much like a gang of Caracals would never compare to a Gang of Thoraxs or Vexors. I fully agree with you except for this point: I would readily take a gang of caracals for their damage projection over a gang of thorax's or vexors, for the same reason you'd take a gang of drakes over a gang of myrms. Gang: 5-10+
And most people were so hostile to the idea of drakes initially. Forming a drake fleet with the intention of having projected dps had reactions such as "I could have f*cked your mom and come back before my missiles land" and they argued about it. Said individual was kicked from fleet and wardecced later on Now drakes are considered "good" ships by just about everyone and "overpowered" by others.
Speaking of caracals, just watch chatgris...just you watch.... |

This is really hilarious, you are trying to figure out fleet setups with drakes and caracals which some people have use years effectively.
I have to admit that now i have lost all hope for Caldari militia.
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. |

Yes podding enemy militia (that is, members of the militia NPC corp, you can pop players in player corps as much as you please) gives you negative standing with the militia corp itself. However your standing with the npc militia corp has no effect on your eligibility to join the militia because the prerequisites for joining a militia are based on your overall standing with an empire. Any friendly fire (to non flashies) while being a member of an empires militia will cause severe standing loss towards that empire. Also, ranking up and doing missions will lower your standings towards the opposite militia's empire. If you do not mission and do not plex, you cannot ruin your standings. |

Seems that the Caldari are not so fail as a few months ago. I'm seeing them regularly come out and fight now, even winning a few engagements here and there. I also heard that some sort of Alliance joined the squids? If so that's good news for moar fights!!!
Raven federation joined up. They were semi active in syndicate a few months ago but now it seems they have all but died and came back to empire to rebuild. Probably wont be seeing much of them for a while. |

Gal mil has its problems too. Last year a small, new corp joined the gallente militia and they were trying to diplo their way into intel channels or something. I was a member of gal mil at the time and I just remember everyone except chatgris (who tried to actually talk to them, but made the mistake of inviting everyone else into the convo) trolling these guys to the point where they got mad and wardecced a gal corp and tried to bash their POSes 
Nowdays I think there is just tension between SLAPD and other gallente corps |

Sun Zue wrote: Wow, were did all this hate come from? o/ X-Gal and Timmy Brewer miss some of those fun sometimes one sided drunk fights lol. ANY body who thinks this game has become a job you pay for and its no longer just in fun needs a eve brake and a beer (age depending, some people can only buy grape drink) and how fun.
Calling Chatgris an r-tard is kinda low in my but sense ALOT of people I know based the nano FC'ing after him(her). Val Erian like it not is one of the best multi boxers i have meet next to Gaven and should be given props for it. Not saying the kiss the Gal's butts but if you don't see the strong PvP base for what it is then you people are blind. If you want to improve the Cal militia then get of the forums and form a fleet, doesn't matter how big or what you bring, go out fight to win, win or lose. It doesn't matter if you lose a FAKE ship in FAKE space as long as you have a laugh and fun while you are at it. Learn from those loses an improve, face it with the proper fleet 10 people can take on 20 but only if people want to come out and have a good time.
I say if most people are have a hard time, take a brake and go pirate around black rise and placid, grab friends and gank some poor high sec nood for the tears, Heck WD IRED and kill them.
Remember when things are down, just think its a game and not the end of the world if today isn't a good day take some trashers out and t1 frigs and have a party.
BTW Beshnu you left your Pants here and your dirty underwear
I thought beshnu's girlfriend was wearing them...as she beat him

Falacio Burns wrote:One of my corps main gripes while in Caldari militia was, there are too many people in fleets with stealth bombers and not real ships. In my experience, SBs just get dead. 4 Horsemen was the only corp, that we saw, actually fielding real ships when we made our short tour in FW.
Qcats were good for some GFs though...
Most new players are fascinated with the idea of cloaked pvp. They don't realize that they have to uncloak (and thus risk their ship) to shoot something. A lot of FCs tell these players to GTFO of fleet if they bring these and cannot bring something else because 1) there's no guarantee that player will uncloak to shoot something when fight happens, 2) said player probably can't scout and tell the difference between a friendly, pie, neutral, wartarget, it's all the same to these players , and 3) That player gets 5 light drones on them, realizes they cannot cloak and dies in a ball of fire
In other news, some SLAPD guy lost his slicer to a manticore (it was using torps)
