Minmatar Republic vs. Amarr Empire

[David Devant]

Well, rather than the previous generic FW thread I thought I might post something specific to our own front, seeing as it has its own particular flavour. I thought I'd report on the most significant recent engagement to kick us off.

At 18:00 UT a mixed fleet of allied minmatarians departed from Dal to engage in an important industrial mission, converging in the top belt of Huola with well optimized mining vessels, haulers and anti-rat support.

Things proceeded well at first with Foreman Brown calling the Pure Jaspet primary. The pirate cruiser and frigate occupying the belt were no match for our Warrior IIs (we weren't messing about).

Unfortunately our operation soon attracted attention from the Amarrians who surely were unhappy with us stealing their precious resources from right under their noses! Thankfully help was on hand, from none other than former slave lord Sally Va!!!!

The filthy and sneaky Amarrian came back however, but we were ready!!!

However, our trials were not over as our intelligence agents reported that we had angered the Amarr:

[18:59:15] Gordin Brott > Githzheri > wt,s camping station ?

[19:20:42] Gordin Brott > Svyatagor > 28 fkin miners

[19:21:15] Gordin Brott > Admiral Peacock > so obviously a trap

[19:23:43] Gordin Brott > LIZARD K > we meed more people

[19:27:02] Gordin Brott > Maz3r Rakum > this is a fail cascade

They weren't going to take this lying down and after 2 hours in Huola, the Amarr had fully mustered in order to take us down and protect their resources. It was a brutal and horrific massacre:

We are unsure of whether the Jaspet and Kernite we mined will replace our losses. Some of those mining vessels were faction fitted for additional performance

In summary, this was a filthy and brutal act committed by vile dogs who are obviously hopped up on test bong. The Minmatar vs. Amarr front has been ignited by this action and we will not stop till we have avenged.

Mining Q, best Q! The bravery of our foes is boundless and we shall fear their awesome reaction times and their willingness to take on space mining crews everywhere.

Remember: Blue Oyster Cult said it best: Don't fear the reaper!

How many rifters from Minnie Fw do heretics kill on a daily basis? How much of an economic devastation is this to the Fw peoples?

Depends. We are on a 3 Falcons per enemy frigate class vessel policy. Sometimes they have 4+ frigates and we simply cannot field enough falcons to win the fight. Lately we've been limited to rookie ship and shuttle engagements. If the enemy brings Velators we run for the safety of the station. Only a fool would face the flight of the Hobgoblin!

the rifter damage is mostly artificial anyway, given that they are usually our fw alt pilots simply undocking from pator tech.

Ahw, Scythes . Although I kinda like how they brought an Arbitrator. That's the Amarr mining cruiser, right?

Closest thing they've got. No mining laser bonuses, but it's miner drones are bonused much like it's combats.

It's also awesome.

This is very relevant to my interests. Will be joining minnie fw soon™

[Kalnov]

They literally were stealing your ore. That is the best.

[alcibiades]

Can't believe I missed this.


And yes, this is what we must resort to, to get a fight out of the Amarr during US Prime time.

You could always play bait the pirate... And you know, not blob the fuck out of them for good fights..

Fighting the pirates in amamake is useless. They either falconize you, camp gates and warp away when you form up, camp stations with carriers, or just in general don't fight. Other pirates in the area enjoying doing blops drops against solo / small gang targets that are also useless to engage. So most of the pirates in the area you just stay away from.

Jones is too busy responding to my trolls to do anything proper. I do hope both sides duke it out proper like in the old days.

[Lana Torrin]

Not blobbing the fuck out of each other needs to be done on both sides TBH..

You could play bait the blackops.... Send a drake in to get tackled.. Tank the fuck out of it.. Wait for blackops drop. Cyno up.. Counter drop!! Watch as several billion isk worth of ship get obliterated before they can de-agro or warp off.

Fuck that actually sounds like fun.

Edit: You can bridge from highsec with blackops right?
