So after a week long shore leave from the front, I've decided that solo fighting on its own is not satisfying enough.
I understand that many pilots enjoy it, and I can see the appeal, but I've always preferred building, logistics and strategies to a fist fight. No to say I don't enjoy them from time to time... a good warrior should always keep his basic combat skills sharp. But I feel I can, and thus, should be doing more.
In any case, my King keeps asking for progress reports. A few destroyed frigates has not been satisfying him either.
So, I want to create a Savaran, or corporation of pilots.
The reason is simple. The Crusade needs bastions.
For a single roaming militia member, the most annoying thing is losing your ship, and having long trek back to your staging area to re-ship, and fight again. Another problem with patrolling deep into enemy territory, is that you are not allowed to dock in enemy held stations. This is more significant for Amarr pilots, as armour does not replenish itself... and any true cataphract of the Kingdom trusts in his armour.
The Crusade needs bastions placed at regular intervals across the war zone, to allow faster re-deployment of our pilots, and keep them from frustrations of logistics.
Unfortunately, I do not know how to lead a corp, or even the mechanics to maintain it. But, as my family's oath states: Learn from shadows. I intend to learn more about how to fight in this war zone. And any training program needs goals.
