Hydra is good... well considering last year AT. As i understand it blob is an question of sovereignty warfare. Altho i saw some irrational hot drops on few ships.

We want the fights and end up being beaten due to serious overkill... This does not make any sense. You are a small alliance looking for a fight and you whine about the fight being too much for your small gang? That is like the taliban crying about the size of the American military that came crashing down on them .... oh wait ... Look, thats just ummm .. reality. I am new to the game but have played plenty of others. If you plan to fight, you better bring as many people as possible because it is likely the other people looking for a fight are going to be more organized then you are, thus bringing more people. Strength in numbers. That has been a motto of war from its outset. Your talking about war here, not friendly neighborhood competition. I'd say, do what I always do. Build a strong squad of 30, train in .. i guess low-sec is what this game would be, in different scenarios with different types of squads and you will be more honed to handle whatever the other guys throw at you. Oh, and I'm guessing this Blob thing is aka Ganked, meaning you have 30 vs 5 or something. In this game, I think it would be smart to have someone in your squad sitting back and constantly keeping an eye on the sector. I mean, if he suddenly scans 40 new ships you can probably guarantee those ships are going to be interested in you.

Discuss My guess is they did find them, and lost. So then they come back and whine about inbalances of the combat system. Then they get a bigger squad together, kill smaller squads to " punish " those that did it to them, and then get ganked by a squad 4x their size when they become noticed. And again, they come back and whine. Or just plain lie that " me find no fight! " .... As you saw, this guy was complaining as well about being killed by bigger squads. So meh ... it is this way in every single game where PvP is even somewhat possible.

Terrible? not by a longshot, German tanks had thin mantles, were easy to track, had terrible weaknesses on the turret, and Italian tanks? they called them rolling coffins for a reason. later in the war everything outperformed german aircraft, BF109s were the best it ever got for the lufties, once the mustangs and p38s came in it was all over, hell even the spitfires held their own in the face of overwhelming odds you might want to get rid of those old soviet history books from the 50s, they have a couple of inaccuracies The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy
Ioci Space Mermaids 58	Posted - 2012.01.15 03:25:00 - [45] - Quote Insanity, doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Move your corp to test server, split up in to 2 groups and smash each other in to the ground. Let the blob junkies play with them selves.

Is there a certain percentage between the fleet sizes? Or is there a set number of ships? i would very much like to know exactly how big a fleet has to be to be considered a blob.

A blob is any fight that outnumbers you by 1 or more in which you lose. I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things... If you are a smoker, smoke one less pack a week and pay for EVE, with money left over to pick up a cheap bundle of flowers for the EVE widow upstairs.

It's an awful game. Wormhole space is, however, packed full of carebears in multi-billion ISK cruisers in tiny corps that generally don't know how to PVP well. Just saying, if you gank one then you get an A-Type module drop. If they blueball you then you run their sites for them and make enough ISK to go buy a B-Type module for your trouble. And you can do all that while making people with no friends cry. That's what I hear, anyway. Or you run into another corp in their doing the same thing, and then.....GOOD FIGHT FOR EVERYBODY! \o/ I know sometimes it's difficult to realize just how much you spend on incidental things each month or year, but seriously, EVE is very cheap entertainment compared to most things...

I mean, I can't help smilling thinking of those 2 mere Panthers of 1st SS division (Leibstandarte Adolf ****) ewaporating a crapload of Shermans supported by infantry. Small lesson in history: Unlike the Wehrmacht, the regular german army, the Waffen-SS was not a military oragnization but a 100% political institution. Their leaders did for the most part have no military training; career and position within their ranks was determined by political success within the leading political party. Being a political tool, they always were provided the best and most recent weaponry, also the propaganda always focused on the Waffen-SS to build them up as national heroes- and to ** off their worst rivals, the "regular" Wehrmacht officers. Having no military knowledge worth mentioning, the Waffen SS only had one tactic: "Forward, no matter the odds". For the most part they did not operate to capture strategical points at minimal losses, they just rushed head on into any "blob" of enemies to supply juicy killmails to the propaganda machinery. The propaganda seems to have worked outstandingly, as I see that Russians are still speaking with respect and admiration about them. But for the military success of Germany in WW II the Waffen-SS was merely a footnote- a small gang of wannabe elitists looking for goodfights that got smashed by the allied blobs. -.-
Fon Revedhort Monks of War DarkSide. 95	Posted - 2012.01.15 16:41:00 - [56] - Quote Propadanda is something when you lose horribly due to being caught with your pants down or simply being bad at combat in the first place and then call it a massacre or war-crime. As for the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS, the differences were getting smaller and smaller throughout the war and those 2 entities were never really any 'rivals', much less 'worst' ones. You seem to be confusing Allgemeine and Waffen-SS, btw. 2008, CCP Zulu(park): "command ships are fine as is" 2011, CCP Greyscale: "is the Nighthawk actually underpowered?" Nice progress, guys.

It talks about how the more enemies that lock onto one ship, the longer it takes other enemies to lock onto it. Ideas & stuff EVE - the game of sand castles, either building them or kicking them down. -á Status: Taking a break

Of course it was better then anything else in the air, at least at killing bombers. but with a couple of operational Staffel it made no impact The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure.
