    Fleets: I'm not part of Fs,German fleet etc so I saw no need to list them, if you want to make a blog about ground pvp fleets... by all means.

    Reason behind this blog: Well...... could be several?

    Spawn Camping: You've been saying this for the past 6 or so months... still awaiting proof.

    Maps: Agreed

    Crazy Space Monkeyz / Hammer Squadron: They're by their own means their own fleets.

    Cloaking on Otha "Jab": A small word of warning, nothing more.

    That's exactly the point, there was no reason to mention any of those fleets in the blog, it was about Otha. It was a shameless publicity stunt for a fleet group with a very blackened reputation.

    I can think of several very unflattering reasons for your making the guest blog.

    Every Ground PvPer knows its fact, you've blatantly admitted it ingame on many occasions. The rest of the Ground PvP community doesn't despise you and your fleet group for no reason. Your group has been beam in/spawn camping Otha for much longer than "6 or so months". You must have gotten tired of camping the new players, as the oldies all got sick of it and left. Hence the guest blog in an attempt to get people back.

    Crazy Space Monkeyz is Federation Emergency Services with a different name for all intents and purposes. Everyone that PvPs from CSM is also in FES. Hammer Squadron is merged with FES in the same way that ACME is merged with -FS-, and House of Sigma isn't a Ground PvP fleet.

    uhuh, you forgot to mention the reason most cloak is to avoid getting beam in camped :rolleyes:.

    No different from the Ker'rat Blog.. or any other blog for that matter.

    Espionage is one of them I assure you.

    Maybe when you were part of Fes, however now they're all... separate.

    It's popular in Otha for multiple reasons...until said player comes up using #22



    Now.. my good sir, how about a ground pvp fleet blog.. we can get all the pvp fleets in one "room" and watch as they slaughter each other.

    So, i gave this a try, didnt even know it existed.

    Went in and done the mission stuff, then got one shotted by a klingon. A few minutes later got one lunge kicked by a klingon cat thing. A few minutes after that got one shotted by another klingon.

    I;m sorry Brandon, but you guys are SERIOUSLY putting this broken unbalanced TRIBBLE on the front page to entice folks who aint been to this place in? All this ground PVPVE has shown me is ground PVP is even more horribly unbalanced than Kerrat and main space pvp, at least in space pvp i have a chance of surviving the one shot vape builds, on the ground its just exploit user after exploit user mowing down the group of feds i was with.

    Maybe its about time that the "Guest Blogger" is someone who is neutral who isnt making a blog to entice people in to something that their fleet mates can rofl stomp people in. It makes pvp look bad, it puts new people off of PVP and it ultimately shows just how broken and badly designed pvp actually is.

    Heh... The Killers (player type, look it up) in EVE used to do this sort of post all the time. Same sort of lure to bring in the unsuspecting so that they can be slaughtered with no real challenge.

    Poor killers... Cannot handle a real fight. Oh well.

    You are correct though, ground PvP is even MORE bugged and imbalanced than Space and that is a pretty serious feat.

    Well at least ground PvE is fun. And with random pugs can actually be something of a challenge.

    That's not true at all. Outside of bugs causing unintended results, Ground PvP is very well balanced.

    All I can say to this is that you do not sound like you speak from experience... Tactical Captains, especially of a few species, are very imbalanced compared to everyone else.

    Also once you secure a spawn point there is nothing like a load of mines and a bomb or two to make fighting impossible... Oops... There goes the balance.

    Or the person is a tactical cloaker who attempts to keep his or her one-shot from being nerfed while arguing that anything else is OP.

    I've been active in PvP on the ground for almost two years now. Believe me when I say
    it is more than possible to tank and kill Tactical officers with any class.

    Spawn camping is a separate issue that is not unique to Ground PvP as I recall.

    Not even a T-shirt?

    I would actually do it again if I got that in the tailor. May be it could be tied to an accolade "All I saw on Otha was 1 shot"
