High sec wars are REALLY REALLY DUMB.

So after a few days of the high sec war, I have made the above conclusion. Our enemies use nuetral alt boosters that lock my falcon and prevent it from cloaking, so I spend most of my time in low sec where I can choose to shoot thier nuetral alts if I want to. Also, I have a capital ship advantage too. They want to play dirty then I will use all my resources I can as well. First couple days my newer players are trying to fight, even though I told them they would lose, they insist on it as they can learn from it and it is still fun for them. Ok fine, I can accept that, but having my corp and alliance lose ships isn't fun for me, but I look the other way. Killboard stats may have ruined EVE but I like to look competant to my enemies as well. *shrug*

Such is EVE....

When myself or Fang is logged in, what I consider our "vets," then it is a differant story. Either we play back and forth and no one can kill each other, or they stay docked when we outnumber them. This is the high sec war crap I remember. So Thomas and 86camino lose ships, Sami loses a ship and gets podded, and our indy play Caldari 159 loses a hauler full of goodies *sigh.* At LEAST be in a combat ship if you are going to lose a ship. Blockade Runners are the only haulers allowed in high sec wars. Sorry Cal, I know this is a learning experiance for you but I gotta be blunt. Cal is probably thinking, "Fuck you Cloora I didn't lose a Navy Mega like a noob anyway!" LOL.

So our break is on friday night when we have most all our people online. So the war targets are staying at bay. Poking thier heads in from time to time but we have too many for them to handle at this point in time. We resort back to our old low sec ways and we have our kiwi buddies online as well. After raping a few Fleet stabbers, we see Amelia Duskspace in a Hurricane flying around Passari. She is being careful not to be caught so we largely ignore her. Until that is, she logs off with agression (she shot at one of us at a gate a few minutes prior) in space! From my experiance catching pirates in Mara I know this opportunity and I pounce on it. I dock Mil and get her Helios and drop probes immediatly. We smell a trap of some sort but we also know that barring something REALLY unexpected we can barrel through whatever trap they might have. So I find her Hurricane and squad warp. We land and dismantle the Hurricane with no effort. (BTW Battle Helios FTW) Her pod then e-warps off and I re-run a scan find the pod and warp to it. Done. Other then that it has been a very boring war.

They did put my small POS in High sec into reinforced mode and incapped my guns and stuff. With 1 day and 9 hours left on the timer I retracted the war. So far with no counter dec back I have time to either rep the POS or put up a large with lots of ECM to make it a royal pain to do that again.

In conclusion. High Sec wars need a revamp. Nuetral reppers and boosters and scouts need to be dealt with in some way. Personal war decs need to exist if someone is in a NPC corp.
