Hello all, i am Doomsday, the founder of EXxilez
Recently, Myself as well as a few other players have been playing in cap and holds, working on our builds and teamwork/strategy...Let me start off by saying this is NOT for recruitment purposes
I come here (likely to get flamed but...) I would like some opinions of basically if we are impressing you any? do you have any favs or most feared members? Plus if you have tips or suggestions, i would like to hear. Thnx in advance!

Never heard of your fleet, posting these kind of threads on a serious pvp board will most likely kill your fleet via humiliation.
Not really sure what you're asking for here...
Are you looking for build tips/strategies? Are you looking for tips and strats for C&H? Or are you just looking for respected members of the community to pick their brains on any number of topics?

Marauder? Sorry to dissapoint but I am afraid I dont pilot one of those. Good try though
My Jimmies remain unrustled ~
As i mentioned b4, we a relatively NEW to the PvP scene and Arena isn't exactly friendly to pug in....cap and hold is a good place to hone teamwork and individual skills, same as ker'rat...which i also goto semi frequently
Why not ask for a fleet vs. fleet match to find out?
but it would have to be in the near future, as we only have 4 total players who can hold their own in pvp with the big boys, and many of them work and are not on as often as would be nice, most i could get together at 1 time would be 2 or 3, hence why we do a lot of cap and holds...easier to pug in
Seen a ship (d'kora)named pulsar i have killed many times, thought it was you :P
I'm assuming that you're just looking for members of the community to talk with and improve your builds and whatnot so....
-TSI (The Spanish Inquisition) is one of the two oldest active PvP fleets and is generally thought of as being the best
-Sad Pandas are another top Fed fleet
-TRIBBLE. is another high quality Fed fleet
...and that's just a short list as there are a number of quality pvp fleets that can kick the TRIBBLE out of people with ease.

TSI is evil, was in a cap and hold with 1 last night in my weaver, he was in a jemmy, he was fighting a buddy of mine and about to kill him, so i interceded, healed my buddy then proceeded engaging him, to make a VERY long story short....me and my buddy engaged him for the next 20 or so minutes, he popped my friend probably 6 or 7 times but couldn't kill me in this particular engagement...it took us 20 minutes and god knows how many well times subnukes, vm's and so on to finally put a nail in him....talk about TOUGH
Well Sophie fact is no one really cares about cap and hold.... we have done that to death and it was old 2 years ago.
Yes you are right the devs seem he** bent on providing new ways to play when all most of us really want is new scenery.
We ask them over and over and over and over for a few new MAPS for our arena experience. Instead we get convoluted answers involving "We are working on New Tech and new game modes"
Frankly Cryptic can Shove there new modes... spend 2-3 hours making a few new maps and most of us would be happy.
For that matter add a second Cap and Hold map... and perhaps people might go do a few of them more often.
Honestly I que for cap and hold a couple times a month... and almost always get board out of my head. Its always the same... 20 and 0 kills... and spending my time running from node to node playing pop new noob.... really no thanks.
Serious pvp fleets would love to fight you even in a 4v4. It's about the challenge and fun, not necessarily having 5 players. Join the Opvp channel and just ask "any premades on looking for a 3v3/4v4/whatever" and we normally set up a private match anyway. Also, Opvp often does Bigfights? of 10v10 pugmades where you guys can get more practice.
What fleets you get will largely be dependent on timezone. Where are you guys?
GMT= TSI, Pandas, SOB, Mosquito Sqaud, Turkish RP fleet, etc
EST = Critz, Pandas, SOB, Nova Core, TOS Veterans, etc
WST - Critz, Shut Up Wesley, Nova Core, TOS, etc
Sure you will see some Critz on early, and you will see some TSI on late. But for full premades that's about the whole of it. I know I've missed some fleets, those are just a few off the top of my head.
There isn't much respect for C&H because the quality of pvper there is about as low as it can get generally speaking. Any group worth their salt will dominate so thoroughly that it's just not enjoyable after a few matches. Kerrat can be a mixed bag sometimes good and sometimes bad. Privates are where it's at and Opvp channel is the gateway to getting into that group. Arenas are where a lot of pvpers goof around or practice since a 3 man beating a premade happens despite getting an afker and terripug and makes winning against the odds all the sweeter.

That... No...
Teamwork owns everything in a PvP. Yeah you can be good. But Teamwork beats a good player any day.
[SIGPIC][/SIGPIC]
1) Teamwork and timing is #1
2) You cannot "Kirk It" in every ship
3) You are going to die, just get back up
They're not designing new pvp for us (who already like pvp)... They're designing it for the rest of STO's PvE'ers (who don't).
And to stay on topic, I've never seen or heard of the OP's fleet, sorry.
I just think they started the wrong way. First I would implement just "neutral zone" openpvp map without any objective = Ker'Rat without NPCs.
Then I would try to add some objectives to it...and so on and see how it goes.
They basically try to make a huge project instead building it from smaller one.
Time will show. I'm a little sceptic about it, but truth is, Cryptic never had much focus on PvP, so they are kind of noobs in this area. But every noobs eventually learns. SO let's see how it goes.
Arena is just fine for pugging. Losts of pugs there, some pug-mades and a few premades. Even if I had met you in a TRIBBLE pug group in an Arena, I could have offered an opinion on your question.
What do you want from a guy who can't spell emissary when it's in his name?
CommanderDonatra@Capt.Sisko: ahhh is it supposed to do that?
Norvo Tigan@dontdrunkimshoot: hell ya, maybe
To the OP, cap and hold is probably a better place to start pvp-ing, even though there are so many bad pugs in arenas also. I think best would be for you to get your team and ask for a match in Opvp, as most folks here mentioned. You can also mix the teams, so 2 from your team and 3 from opvp in one team, and the other one would have the other 2 from your team and 3 from opvp, this way you could see how others are playing. Also, get Fraps - a software that lets you record anythig on your comp screen (thissler mentioned it a while ago and I have to admit it is very a good way to go over a match and see what happened in more details).
On the other side, there are way too many stuns, holds, disables and team heals (for example extend shields: the ship giving it doesn't sacrifice anything but a lt, ltc or cdr slot - and when you are an engineer, is not much you can use anyways, where I would think it should also loose some amount of power to shields, and the ship receiving it gets an insane resist and shield regen rather than a more lower resist and maybe a bonus power to shields. Another thing I would change: cannon fire, the should fire much faster, have more damage but not follow the target). Stun, disables, holds etc its only fun when in a premade vs premade. Otherwise its anything but fun. Not to mention broken abilities (syphons, phasers etc). I don't see a way for cryptic to fix that other than either re-design those abilities, either go on a separate way with different abilities/behavior for pvp (which they don't want to do). If Cryptic doesn't want to redesign those, then at least implement separate pug queues and separate premade queues. In pug queues only one member from a fleet should be allowed. Still, this would allow a "premade" from opvp for example to go against a regular pug, but at least it would give premades a better challenge and an incentive to leave the pug queues alone. I'm sure nobody on this forum is looking for a 10 minutes quick victory 15-0, it has no challange. Also, a 1-1 queue would be a nice addition. And those don't seem to be hard to implement, I don't see why we have to wait few more seasons for something that seems to be that easy to do.
Regarding Arenas, there is not really a place where you can break the contact or where you can use the terrain in your advantage (for ex like in MWO), other than few asteroids that people try to avoid and go all way up for their pew-pew. We definitely need some arena maps where you are forced to navigate between asteroids, nebulas with gas that drops your shields, decloak and reduce impulse, or whatever other things that could break a little team heals and team play and create a possibility for ambush.
But we don't even get fleet marks from PvP, lol, even if few developers are willing to help us, we need a managerial decision for the PvP to move a little further. I think that redesigning the queues and few maps won't be such a big deal.

Meh, I haven't really noticed any of you fleet members. I know you from before though.
Your that kid who, when cornered by me in a Cap N' Hold a few months ago, was storming abuse in Zone Chat and being very abusive in PMs. You quickly become so entertaining that several other fleet members chim'd in and worked you up even more!
I hope you still don't think people who were better then you are "Hackers". Bumped into your fleet leader a little later, she didn't seem surprised by your behavior. Curious.

7th core most certainly did use the "terrain" in Cracked planet to thwart GoD's deadly CSV alphas pre Season 1.2
It really annoys me that almost all cracked planet matches end up way above, or below the cracked planet. I'd love a space map that was entirely an asteroid field with no large open spaces.

Exactly... the maps have and still do on occasion get used. People like Sophie and there 3 months of PvP experience may not have seen it. However many of us have seen how much fun it can be.... YES I would like new maps for arena... I would love another or perhaps even 2-3 cap and hold maps.... I have created enough user love quake maps ect to understand... its a lack of willingness on Cryptics part not time nor money. Hell if we allowed people to create PvP maps for privates with the foundry there would be 40 maps better then cryptics with in a week.
Frankly I don't want user created maps... I want Cryptic to pay there map guy to sit down for a week and hammer out 5-10 maps... sure some of them can be basic changes of scenery and if he or she comes up with 1 or 2 cool twists on the terrain then great.
Honesty from talking to many of my in game friends I am not alone in this... some of those friends of mine are crazy PvP heads that have also sunk hundreds of dollars into this game. If whats left of the PvP community broke out there calculators... I would think we have spent more then our fair share of $$$ to support Cryptic even with ownership changes and year long content droughts... Quite Simply we are owed at least that much...
Mr. Stahl Can take his new tech shelve it (he already has) and treat us with the respect of giving us ONE week of a devs time to create some new eye candy for PvP. THAT would create some good faith... frankly if they are not capable of that I can tell you that for myself personly ANY future Maps they create for OTHER PROJECTS WILL NEVER EVER GET A look from my eyes cause ZERO will be the amount of money I will spend on any thing with there there name on it.... STO I'm invested I have friends and the IMO Genius level base design of STO has me hooked, I'm not going anywhere... they know that and I hope they come through with some medium level love for those of us hoping that they really do mean well.
