> [@Princess\_Rose\_Ivory](#): > > I would say that tight of a group would be virtually unstoppable. I totally agree. People keep arguing that the null blocs are un-defeatable, but one is not aiming at a full scale confrontation. Instead one chips away with asymmetric war. It is precisely how many weaker forces have defeated much stronger ones. ---

True and if the Capsuleers decided to haul their own goods then planning shorter trips over a longer timeframe on items that are of non urgent replacement for the various activities that the Capsuleer has planned on their agenda. ---

> [@Gloria\_Exercitus](#): > > Instead one chips away with asymmetric war. It is precisely how many weaker forces have defeated much stronger ones. The Battle of Rorke’s Drift is probably one of the more famous historical battles, where 150 British held a farm under siege by over 3,000 Zulus in 1879. Not that I admire war, we often use such battles in fictional settings to make it plausible and intriguing to the reader. Everyone who watched Willow (1988) can appreciate a few good battle sequences in that movie. Have fun! ---

> [@Zaera\_Keena](#): > > Common sense escapes some people. Just look at the world today and I would say most people. The best way to “win” the game is to be active. You don’t need to be super smart or even super active. Just active. The next best way is to be interactive. Find a corp you can trust, 🤣 (good luck there) and have a much better chance of success. Shame CCP drove out the small pvp corps as they brought a lot of attraction for a lot of players who didn’t want to join the dark side. ---

> [@MB\_ThePhotographer](#): > > The best way to “win” the game is to be active. I tend to think the only thing that really matters in EVE is hubris. With enough of it, you’ve won on day 1 and _whatever_ you do is the most amazing thing ever to have happened in EVE. The good ship Hubris is unassailable, ungankable, has infinite tank and DPS, and requires no ISK whatever. Or even skill. ---
