Again the prescription for cahones is needed if you dont have the guts to tell a few of your members to not fight, when you KNOW we cant get the numbers.

I don't give a rats bottom if you can't get the numbers. That's your problem, not mine. After all, it's called Faction Warfare....not Fair Warfare.

While "gf's" are more fun...I'm not gonna pass on (nor deny someone else) an opportunity to kill WT's.

If you guys spent half as much effort on getting your people to undock and fight as you do placing the blame on us, we probably wouldn't be having this "discussion" - lol.

If you guys (squids) fought like you did for Agoze on a REGULAR basis.....you wouldn't have to hump buttons to feel like you're "winning".

Most (not all) Gall's plex for two main reasons.....1) because the squids care about it more than we do (as a whole) and anything to aggrevate the squids is a win and 2) for fights.

Truth of the matter, having systems means absolutely nothing except here in the forums. When you guys were bringing out the dessie fleets and we had regular fights nightly...that was the most worthwhile plexing we've ever had. If you noticed...once that died off....so did most of our desire to "plex". Would I like to have all system remain Gallente? Of course, but not enough that Eve turns into a fulltime "job" of button humping. I'll do what I can, when I can for the reasons listed above, but damn if I will let it run my Eve life - lol.

You guys can keep crying about the typical blob excuses and such all you want. I've lost track of how many times I've seen Caldari gank/fight some Gal's with a superior force only to run and dock and cry "BROB!!!!" the moment a comperable counter force arrives. I've even seen your chat after fights in which I have personaly fought in out-numbered and out-shipped and seen complaints of us still "over doing" it - LOL. It's almost as if you guys are so predisposed to cry "blob" that you don't know any other way to explain a loss.

True blobbing happens on both sides, all sides, all the time. Instead of constantly crying about us actually arriving in force to a call for help, how about you guys unbork your coordination and do the same in return? Oh wait...that would require effort...

Regardless...still good to see you guys active. If losing systems means fights like Agoze...then I'm all for it. Anything to get you guys out and about in the USTZ works for me.

Well, I don't have the playtime most folk do, but in my limited 2-ish hour USTZ window, both sides blob. Though Blob is a relative term, as sometimes blob is 4 people, and others it's 14...

Regardless, we also fight equal numbers, or try to. We jump in equal or lesser numbers into a hostile rat plex, and the squids will run. That's not true all of the time (it should be noted that there are a number of guys, Damar included, that will stick around and fight even when outnumbered). The Sniper Corms and Arty Ruppy plex gangs that you guys have fielded are somewhat effective, but we've leeroyed enough into them that they just guarantee non-fights now.

I don't fault you guys for your tactics - some folks want fights, and some folks want to win the RP war. Most Gallente are the former.

Let's just cross our fingers and hope that Inferno cobbles them both together a bit better.

But regardless...as I said before...the renewed activity is good.

Oh...and concerning "scouts".... neither do I ...

12 systems to 7. Scoreboard baby! Please post next update when you're actually ahead.

Pynasikan? Really bro?

In other news SB gangs are terribad in low sec, especially when your horrible falcon pilot jams everything before it can aggress. Pro tip...let them engage or they will just jump through the gate. I applaud the attempt at doing something different...but damn that's just idiotic. Also skill up a bit, that gang should of been able to 3 volley my **** tanked drake.....took 6-7 before I had to jump.

Grats on the system captures, we just don't have the numbers willing to plex in the EUTZ that you guys do atm.

hence why your type wouldn't be allowed in our gang.

People that say SBs are ineffective in lowsec have no clue what they are doing.

You are correct though if one of our SBs die its because he wasnt paying attention to orders.

What's a Caldari? Thought they were extinct........ As we don't see so much of them.

Yes, we did not defend the bunker when you took it. Agoze was vulnerable for about 3 solid days though. Let's look at what times you took your systems:

Agoze 10:08
Brarel 21:08
Annancale 10:41
Intaki 16:38

Not a single bunker taken during US primetime and a single one during EU prime time. The rest were all taken when everybody in Europe/US is at work/school/sleeping. Looking at the above tells me the caldari have a dominant AU timezone. Looks like us Gallente have to recruit some more New Zealanders and Australians.

As a FW noob.......about half a month play time in FW.. and probably returning for the fun :)

I'd like to make an observation

I'm in the AU TZ (8am - 14pm eve time) and it's usually pretty quiet across the whole of eve at that time.
I found that by doing plex's in my 'downtime' i actually got a fair few fights out of it. most weren't too blobby or anything.
The plex/occupancy mechanic has no in game effect really however it goes give less skilled/experienced pilots to opportunity to get fights.
And quite often small fleets 4-5 pilots were the order of the day.

I have found it altogether less random than pirate roaming around LS.

on a side note around running away.......often if we were jumped while capping a plex we would immediately jump out to safes. this was to ensure we were repped etc and got coordinated then jump straight back in with whatever we were flying at the time.

Sometimes this would get us a bit of smack about being cowards etc but generaly got us a 'gf' when we returned and engaged.

the jump out & back tactic wasn't to try and 'blob' the WT's more so we could figure out what we wanted to do as we were all pretty inexperienced and swapping from 'plexing' mode to small fleet pvp mode doesn't automatically happen for us (I will most certainly be working on this skill though)

My 2 isk......not sure if it actully adds anything......just haven't found anything I feel like posting on.

Cheers

The thing with Agoze is you guys had access to insta reships immediately. I was there watching cloaked up (RL crap) the whole time. The only reason Caldari won was because they refused to give up. I know a couple pilots that lost almost a bil in ships trying to take that system.

the caldari just didn't have a proper fleet to take on what was fielded.

proper fleet

Gals blob. No one roams. When I was gal I would dilerbertly go out in small "killablke" ships to get fights. When Galls roll you do it with loki boosters and all other sorts of crap.

If you are so worried about losing your ship fly something else.

Cool story, bro

Thanks! I thought so to

I flew with Gallente for a long time. Its simply. Everyone sits in station intel comes in and everyone undocks. No one roams. Heck we were roaming for a good 2 hours the past two nights and nothing was there until we ran into the Slapd blob.

Why do you put their quote at the bottom of your post, it is weird.

Admit it. You answered to this thread only so you could post that link

The super chair derp was strong that night



In the end though, the gallente fielded a proper BS fleet w/ logi support. The caldari did not. While the caldari did have logi it was still a "kitchen sink" fleet with people in whatever they wanted, everything from bombers, to cruisers, to some BS. It wasn't because the gallente brought something like 2:1 odds, the caldari just didn't have a proper fleet to take on what was fielded.
