Here's an update on the current state of play in the Minamatr - Amarr warzone.
The Story so Far.. Over the last month or so, the Minmatar have been pushing the warzone, taking system after system. This started with a clear out of amarr held Minmatar systems and have continued with a push into Minmatar space. Efforts have focused largely on Amarr strongholds such as Kourmonen and Houla which have been taken, and now Kamela. The Amarr have been focusing on defence and slowing the Minmatar advance and have successfully held Kamela at a low contested level through a couple of weeks of Minmatar assault. At the same time, the Minmatar have claimed a few less well defended systems on the Amarr side of the warzone.
The fall of Kamelal This week the Minmatar installed a Citadel in Kamela so facilitate faster re-shipping against the Amarr and pirate factions who have access to the Kamela station. This seems to have broken Amarr resistance and at the time of writing Kamela has risen to 64% contested level. Fighting in Kamela between the Minmatar, Amarr and pirate factions continues to be intense with both navy factions employing hit and run tactics to fight one another and claim the system during periods of overwhelming pirate incursion. https://zkillboard.com/system/30003069/ Although often we just killed the pirates too: https://zkillboard.com/character/444369874/
The Empire Strikes Back As Kamela falls, the Empire have started to fight back in a number of Minmatar held systems such as Haras and Gurkala. Here the fighting has been significantly less, and the push seems to be the work of a few Amarr frigates assaulting the systems while the Minmatar are out fighting elsewhere. Defending these systems is a great opportunity for new Minmatar pilots to band together and practice their skills in smaller fights while earning defensive LP.
Pilots flock to the Minmatar cause The last few weeks have seen a number of new pilots join the Minmatar ranks including new and old pilots, alpha and omega clones. Whether these pilots are drawn by the higher ISK return available to the Minmatar (see https://garemoko.github.io/eve-fw-data/ ), the welcoming nature of Minmatar fleets or the awesomeness of Minmatar ship design is unclear. You can join the Minmatar as a solo pilot, with your corp or by joining an existing Minmatar faction Warfare corp. |

And now we took Kamela too.
What's next for the Minmatar? Wait and see... |

We're still getting good fights, even if they are as much with pirates as they are with Amarr and I'm enjoying pushing the warzone. I'd love to have more pilots in the faction and have multiple fleets at any one time doing different activities, whether that's pushing the plexes, hunting LP bots, roaming the warzone or other things completely unrelated to FW.
For me , the fight won't end when Minmatar take the warzone. I'm planning to keep pushing into Caldari space once we've defeated the Amarr. |
