Join SMERG. We are awful but still get orbitals. This way it prevents the "unfair" camping aspect you dislike, but we have enough idiots smacking our face against the keyboard that at least 1 orbital is in the cards per match.

Also, we don't have a corporate ladder because I don't give roles to anyone besides my brother, and this system has worked with my corp of 100+ for years. From the EVE side we take a ventrilo vote and whoever is there decides policy, and I make the changes necessary. Everyone has equal say, just not actual roles to steal crap.

Prepare for a some serious crying here. Trolls lick your lips.

The squad system sucks, sucks worst that the last system. Now, instead of complaining about a squad that's not full, I'm complaining about being squad leader of nobody.

Occasionally a person or two will join the squad and I think, awesome, an orbital is in the cards. Except these blue dots go 0-6 and possibly manage 100 war points each.

I often get around 2000 war points myself, and to be short changed by terrible blue dots is a kick in the pants. Then I try to be thankful that they even knew enough to join a squad. But only after I begged/ instructed them to join a squad.

I bet I know what some of you are thinking. Join a corp. On to part two: I hate corporations. I've tried two of them, but all corps are the same. Full of politics. And to be honest, I'm antisocial in real life, so I don't know how to climb the corp ladder over a microphone. My problem I guess.

My point is I don't want to join one if I don't have to. Hopefully CCP will offer individual merc contracts in the future.

Most corps are full of great players, but lack any decency when it comes to crushing non corp blue dots. They fiend the red line like they are so thirsty for blood and camp cru's like that is fun or fair. They will pull out two tanks and a drop ship in a random pub match with a victory in the bag, which, I guess isn't terrible, but I still hate them for it.

Funny thing is, if they are not in their corp squad, they don't try during games and sometimes even quit. Catching them alone is ten times different. Suddenly, their invincible magic is greatly reduced. I sometimes wonder if its the same person.

Back to orbitals . . . while I'm praying to get an orbital (sometimes I do, at the tail end of the match when the game is about to expire, so I barely have time to look at my map, let alone get somewhere safe to call one) . . . while I'm doing that some corp gets orbitals early and often. I've seen corp squads get three in a match while I'm can't even eek out one.

I'd understand if I got a lot of grief for this thread. The blue dots that don't join squads probably don't read the forums either.

Vent over.

CrimeWave was good to me and I kinda jumped the gun a little. I had joined the website. I dunno, I messed up leaving. But I guess I was not patient.

you gotta give things a chance.

If you're not in the top 8 of a corp then your screwed for corp battles and it's the high school lunch table drama.
