Tactical Musings

There are some who would say the ILF is not unlike many of the other capsuleer groups that occupy the Placid region. This for the most part is entirely untrue when hailed by a fearful militia pilot the other day it took some time for me to explain why now that I had killed the pirate in system I had no plans to turn my hostile attention to said pilot. The idea that we as pilots of the ILF follow the ROE set out on our corporation description really does seem to astound some people.

Keeping the peace in the Placid region is a very varied job. Things often go from dead to overwhelming in a very short period of time, thus maintaining a constant battle readiness approach is generally considered good practice. It is also important to vary your methods of destruction as you will often find yourself up against the same opponents time and time again. This style of combat means constantly trying out new fits for ships, without going into specifics commonly this can means using ships for roles they were never originally favoured for, turning a long range specialist into a brawler turning an exploration vessel into a sturdy tackle ship. Such tactics though reckless do often achieve results be they catastrophic or successful.

Thus losses are common and though painful they are considered to be part of our learning curve to become better pilots this is not to make light of the crew men and women lost in such destruction it is just a hard truth of our existence. We are not alone in these tactics, many of our opponents have similar practices though unlike us their pool of targets for testing there ships on is much more varied.

Well I seem to of meandered around some point for long enough but I guess my basic message is if a member of the ILF is in local you only have to worry if your a pirate, criminal flagged, -5 or below or if you have shot us before, so until we meet under such circumstances,

pratya yavati and fly safe.
