About a month ago, we had an incident where a member of our corp at the time. Shacaren Alhara looted a wreck, interfered with an ongoing Repo operation and smack talked them on local. Apparently, goading them to attack us. Repo obliged and after a month of fighting, they have demonstrated themselves to be a competent and organized fighting force. We didn't back down from engagements, but we are upside down by billions on the isk comparison. We apologize for all the hassles this idiot has caused everyone. Shacaren was subsequently removed for the corporation because of his inability to stop smacking in local. He does not represent who we are or what we are about.

No not evemail FTW this is part of the surrender terms of JUNTA.
I would like to thank the majority of JUNTA members for bringing the fight.
They may not have faired to well, but at least they gave it ago.
REPO accept this apology and the isk surrender fee and the war will be ending in 24 hours.
This should be a lesson to those that think stealing loot and then giving it the "big I am" in local should think twice.
JUNTA lesson learnt, props to you and fly safe

I've been reading the forums like crazy trying to figure out as much as I can about this game and some of my main impressions I get are the following:
1) PvP is insainely costly
2) Despite what people say about new characters can help a war by "specializing", the fact is that as new player they are severely handicaped
3) While in theory people claim battles can be done in frigs & cruisers, it seems that anyone who depends upon them in a practice quickly finds it is a losing endeavor.
For instance, I've seen other threads in which people are discussing 500mil ships + fittings etc.... and that if a person has 1 billion isk that is barely "middle class", which is disappointing if true to somebody starting out.
I stumble across this thread and see something which might rebuke one of my concerns, but yet at the same seems more than likely to reinforce them.
To start, I wanted to state a few facts about your war which I looked up on your links
JUNTA has approximately 260 members
Repo Industries has approximately 130 members
Repo had 898 kills/50 loses
It was a 14billion to 3billion cost in isk
896 out of the 898 kills were from literally just 10 players.
Out of the kills on JUNTA
31% of the kills were frigates
25% of the kills were caps
15% of the kills were cruisers
Hence, it was nearly 75% of the kills were frigs, caps, & cruisers.
Whereas there were 0 frigs lost from Repo.
From just looking at the above numbers & without knowing anything else, an outsider might infer that JUNTA had the numerical advantage. however, despite the number advantage suffered an 18:1 KvD which begs the question - How?
If on the one hand, those 898 kills were spread out amongst 100+ Repo, one might infer that Repo had more players online; however, as stated above it was not like 898 kills were spread out over 100 members of Repo, but rather 896 out of 898 came from just 10 players. Ten.
So what were those 10 players typically using?
Was this a war of many small ships vs a few giants which would unfortunately reinforce the theory that "unless you have the big toys don't play in the sandbox" theory?
Was this war on equal footing in ship types/numbers or did just 10 guys use exemplary strategy, tactics, & communication which would have made Sun Tzu look like an amatuer.

Subchaos if you are trying to use the killboard stats to formulate some sort of pvp break down for empire war, then theres no point.
Because the killboards never tell the whole story.
For exmaple JUNTA had alot more than 268 members when the war started, killbaords don't show that.
Killboards don;t show players sp nor there pvp experince.
At the end of the day, the post of an apology for smack and loot theft, lets leave it at that we're not looking to show we're uber. Its a game and JUNTA were good sports in that game.

I am in no way formulating a theory on EVE alliance PvP based upon your killboard link, but rather saw this as a perfect opportunity to dispell #2 & #3 as myths or reveal them for statistical truths. It seems people in general only agree on #1, but I continually find posts & threads by the player based as if #2 & #3 have no factual basis which I believe is blind dogma or the words of players who are not actually PvPing on a constant basis.
Since I am new to EVE, but not to PvP nor MMOs, I'd rather not learn those lessons the hard way. It seemed that this extremely 1-sided war either epitomized those last two theories or completely shattered them. Hence, I was hoping for a realistic answer.

No JUNTA are not a random noob alliance. And should REPO aquire a wardec against a 'noob' alliance then its too bad you will continue to be upset, but we dont care people need their assets in space relocated we simply aid in the process, we look at all targets the same. 
Thanks for the fun guys, great 5vs5 cruiser fight and thanks for the FCs in the beginning for having fun with us.

It's not really relevant to the thread, but I'll try and answer your concerns anyway. Low skill point players can and do compete, because tactics and fittings (in the sense of a good setup, rather than t2/faction mods) are more important than skill points. But a high SP player fighting a low SP player in similar ships where neither fitting has a big tactical advantage, the high SP player is likely to win, and surely that's how it should be or there would be nothing to gain by specialisation.
Frigs and cruisers definitely do have a place in PvP, but if you're talking pitched battles then that place is support. A cruiser is not going to have more firepower than a battleship, but a battleship is not going to have more mobility than a cruiser. You also have to remember that, for the most part, there are T2 versions of frigs and cruisers that do the same job better. So where skills and ISK allow, the T2 ships are going to be the preferred option. This doesn't mean that T1 ships aren't effective, simply that they are less effective. |

Go with this one. R.E.P.O. proved to be skilled fighters and I learned a lot from observing the tactics they used against us. They changed frequently, but at no point would I say it was a matter of big ships vs small.
Yes, they killed a lot of small ships, because that's all we were willing to bring out at first, but they used a full range of ships to do so and more often than not made kills with T1 BC'er and smaller ships. Check the video's of the T1 5 v 5 fight, you'll see the gear is not what made the difference, rather their excellent tactics, planning and execution. (another lesson learned for me)
I didn't get in on a lot of kills, but am proud of the ones I was part of. My corp mates fought hard and kept in high spirits. I couldn't ask for more and I had a great time.

1) some pvp is, some pvp is not
2)new characters CAN help by "specializing"
3)figting a war in frigats while essentialy free is not effective but fighting it in cruisers is cheap and functional.

...

You ask lots of questions and try to "draw" a conclusion that you have already reached. However there are actualy answers to those questions on that very same kill board.
For example this is one of those 10 "super humans"
http://repo.griefwatch.net/?p=pilot&pilot=Rocco%20Bellini
note the ships flown, number 1 thorax, number 2 myrmidon, number 3 huricane.
So the top 3 ships he flies are... thats right, t1 cruisers and batlecruisers.
If you are in fact a worried new player you need to stop looking at price tags of t2, learn to fit and fly t1 cruisers well and start looking for a good group of people to fly with.
As for repo they are not the best pvpers in eve but they do nothing but empire wars and have been doing it for years, of cause they are not bad at it.

1) PvP is insanely costly
2) Despite what people say about new characters can help a war by "specializing", the fact is that as new player they are severely handicapped
3) While in theory people claim battles can be done in frigs & cruisers, it seems that anyone who depends upon them in a practice quickly finds it is a losing endeavor.
1: Depends on how much you want to let it cost you. 50 or so of my kills on SF Junta were in an unrigged battlecruiser; hardly an unattainable ship. Fully fitted, I don't think it cost 60-80 mill at the most, so it's not like a super expensive ship was the key to victory, at least in the fights that I took part in. So no, it's not too bad a lot of the time, but if you can't afford to lose it, don't undock it. Some good pvp can be had in tech 1 cruisers.
2: Sure, they're handicapped. I wouldn't have it any other way. Learn the game mechanics, get skillpoints, and the new char will catch up soon enough. A player who's a few months old but has an excellent knowledge of game mechanics, can in fact go up against a much older player who doesn't know the game mechanics as well, and be victorious.
3: You seem to be under the impression that SF Junta only flew frigates, which is incorrect. They brought a wide variety of ships including recon ships, battleships, HACs, and it's rumored they even had a command ship or two waiting in the wings. It only takes 1 frigate to prevent a battleship from warping off, and one other properly fitted frigate to negate 85% of his damage, so frigs are far from useless if flown and fitted properly.
Furthermore, they did often outnumber us, so bringing anything larger than a frigate to the fight might have forced us to disengage and come back with more numbers or larger ships, forcing an arms race which would be boring, uneventful, and would culminate in us being forced to camp them in station with 10 battleships. Who wants to camp a station? Nobody. SF Junta seems to enjoy a good fight as much as we do and by sticking mostly to smaller ships, they helped keep the combat fast paced and exciting.
Finally, each frigate they lost was a valuable learning experience for the pilot. I think they realized that spending half a mill for a frigate that you lose in a fight with some (some would say I'm being too generous) decent PVP pilots such as ourselves, is a small price to pay for the learning experience.

Thanks for the training REPO. As one of the newb pilots I gotta say it was worth every isk in losses and settlement. I had a blast and learned a lot. To be honest I was kinda sad to hear it's over. Maybe we can do it again sometime.

Sincerest thanks to R.E.P.O for some rather awesome first hand instruction on tactics, ship loadouts and a great PVP experience. When I first started all they had to do was look at me and my ship went *pop*, now... It took them a few minutes to pop my Myrm and they had to call in some bigger guns, but even that experience made me smile. I'm not at the level of a great pvper, but I know the experience they've imparted to all of us has gone a long way and improved our skills amd knowledge greatly. 07 to you all.
Thanks again.
Respectfully,
Daxs

I appreciate the responses from those who maintained their composure & answered the questions in a straightforward manner rather than take the low road dismissing it.
For a new player, the PvE aspects of EVE has a steep learning curve, whereas the PvP mechanics are on an exponential level all on its own. Mistakes in the PvP realm are not just in isk but also in time.
For instance, I found out about EVEMon, downloaded it & ran several "what-if" scenarios. The cost in isk for the required skills was enormous & the time to finish even some of the most basic, streamlined and extremely specialized skill sets for a new player was in months. This is saying that I continually have the isk to buy the books before needed as well as never miss a single skill update while training 24x7. If anyone of those (isk, books, update) are delayed it moves that entire timeline back even further.
More importantly, without actually having any PvP experience in EVE, I am at a loss for what is & what isn't viable. This could translate into literally spending months of training & isk unecessarily because of a misperception.
When I first came across this thread, I didn't think much about because I've not played EVE long enough to be enthralled by the politics between any corps/alliances. However, when I saw those links detailing the cost in isk & the KvD plus the odd looking losses it struck a cord. Not only was I now interested, but thought here is a war which could shed some light on the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of smaller ships in a much larger conflict.
For a new player, to be able to know what a minimum, yet, realistic target goal for ship type & skills are needed to be an effective addition to a war is critical.
No disrespect to either side was intended, if taken.

Get learning skills up.
Learn what fittings do and do not work on assault frigates and interceptors.
Learn to fly those ships well.
????
PROFIT!

EVE's a complicated game to be sure, and you'll need to master all 3 sides of the triad (PVP,Industry,Diplomacy) to get the most of out of it. The good news, is that with a little patience and perseverance, you can.
However, this isn't the thread for such a discussion, so if you'd like to talk in game sometime feel free to send me a tell. (normally on in evening, US Eastern time)

For a new player, find a like minded corp/militia train a blackbird -> either Scorpion or Falcon and have fun. Thats the quickest way to become a useful gang member. As for the ISK issue, I'd suggest working on missions. While they aren't the quickest way to become the next billionaire, it will give you a good grasp of the industry side of the game. Remember Time is the limiting variable in EvE, not ISK.
On Topic...
Seems like there was some good fighting, something to be said for corps handling themselves in a upstanding manner.

It was a good war guys. I'm absolutely positive that JUNTA walked away with a lot of learning experiences, and it showed as the war progressed. Also, JUNTA wasn't the only one to get some good lessons learned for all of this. This war made REPO try new tactics and refine some older ones that we haven't had to use in a long while.
For those of you guys that stood with Stormfront JUNTA till the end, my hat is off to you all. As it is, I'd like to invite you guys onto our vent server for an evening to shoot the shit with us and to do a recap of the entire war. I'm sure both sides will have some interesting insights to share as well as some hilarious stories to tell. Contact Hans Gates and we'll set up a date. Fly safe all.

For those of us who stuck it out, I don't think anybody considers themselves a "loser" after this deal. What we gained was a month of PvP with some very effective fighters that instilled not only lessons on the harsh reality of EVE War, but honed our tactics, strategy, leadership ability, instincts, and most of all esprit de corps. What we lost was just ISK, and I can't think of a better way to spend it than having that much fun.
The only losers are the ones that let having ships popped ruin their fun in the game enough to drop from the corp and hide. One day they're gonna figure out that in EVE you can't hide forever.
Props to REPO, you guys always fought well. Now that our killboard finally works for me its time to put up my many losses, but I don't regret a single one.

Trolls; you can smack all you want about REPO, this thread is chock full of good sports. Take your own advice and grow a spine, by posting with your mains. Or is your industrial corp not as mouthy and as full of unwarranted arrogance as you are?
It's a good thing to see these guys taking this game so cordially. It literally warms my heart; I guess all internet warriors aren't childish ADHD brats after all!

Good management from Junta CEOs for not leting bigger ships out :)

At first i was hiding from this war. and then i got killed got ****ed then got fitted. i wasnt in many encounters becuase i didnt play during Junta Primetime (third shifter play in the mornings) but the encounters i did get in i learned quite alot. I refused to fly anything but my Drake and becuase of that. each time i encountered i refited my Drake and tried again. learning each time what worked and didnt work. was a very big learning experience REPO and i thank you for it. now i gotta go repackage 3 drakes in my hangar and set them aside till they are needed again.

Subchaos asked some interesting questions (definitely good fodder for a dedicated thread)--the intelligent replies were appreciated by this PvP semi-noob. Props to JUNTA and REPO for their mature "sports team" mentality in assessing each other and sharing the outcome publicly here. Good insights; very enjoyable read with my Troll Filter set to Skip All.

I appreciate the responses from those who maintained their composure & answered the questions in a straightforward manner rather than take the low road dismissing it.
For a new player, the PvE aspects of EVE has a steep learning curve, whereas the PvP mechanics are on an exponential level all on its own. Mistakes in the PvP realm are not just in isk but also in time.

Step #1: get in a good corp. Seriously, the difficulties that currently seem opaque and insurmountable will melt away like snow with good advice from more experienced players.
You could also try joining Agony Unleashed for PvP training.
CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that. |

Second that. Get into a good pvp corp. And before you say you cant because of skills etc, you -can-. It just takes a bit of looking around and a smart approach.
As evidence, lets take an example of... AAA. One of the premier pvp alliances in 0.0. Skill Point minimum needed to join Rage and Terror I belive is only 5 mill, you of cause would also need to speak Russian :) but the point is some of the best corporations have very reasonable requirements.
In other cases, well lets take REPO as this is pertinent to the topic, while you might or might not have the needed SP to join repo corp proper, REPO is also an alliance, so you could join one of their other corporation, fly with them, learn from them, be on their TS, show you know your stuff then apply to move to the repo corp. Chances are you would get in if you have been flying with them for a few months and have a few dozen kills.
Or if you feel thats not the way you could even join JUNTA from this very thread, they sound like they like to fight, and have lots of new characters, they say they learned a lot from their war, why not join them and see what they can share?

As far as I can tell fleet or gang pvp success hinges almost allways on Intel and FC (fleet commander) and just a little fleet discipline. This is probably simplifying things, but I think it's a valid general comment.
Try out EVE-University maybe, I've heard nothing but good things about them in my time here and they have helped out a lot of new people. Also, I've never tried Agony Unleashed couses but one would think a structured and limited pvp environment would be a great help to new people.
