Yeah, Dab attacked me near FP1 while a bret BS (Lunaphase) happend to be visiting, it assisted, Dab kept cruising off so his shileds could regen, stopingjust barley out of mortar range.
I used less than half regens on my BC as I recall, mostly got banged up in the very begining, casue in RP I didnt know in was a trap so left FP1 to go park beside Dab's char to say hai.

This is when I learned.. My mortar doesn't fire to the left.. Or back-left..
It's been fixed.. ._.
But you didn't notice the Bret BS' damage. For having a Cap VIII against my Cap VI, losing almost all of his bots, in a 2v1 no less, wasn't exactly brag-worthy. You'll find my carrier has a much better Mortar firing arc now as well.

Um.... he didnt loose almost all his bots as I recall .....
BTW were my missles actualy 'raming' you off course any, or did it just appear to be doing that on our end ?
edit: Oh unrealted OORP RP question, whats the RP status of that ship ? Did you RP it as destroyed and scrap it or what ? (my chars prespective is it was destroyed, if you kept it no biggie, I'll just act like 'oh, that hulk WASNT destroyed like we thought)
The missile did slightly throw me off, but very little. In the end, the effect was negligible.
And yes, he was almost out of bots at the end.
And yes, the ship still exists. We don't typically RP a ship as totally destroyed here.. If we did, your cruiser would've been long gone before that battle ever happened.. When a capship is destroyed, it's usually RP'd as 'heavily damaged' and off for repairs. In this situation, that actually works pretty well, since I upgraded it's armor and rearranged the loadout shortly after that fight (due to the problems found during it. It was my first battle with the Aquilon against another BS, found some flaws, like the lack of a fire-arc directly backwards.. Nothing shoots straight back on that BS except the two farthest-out hardpoints, which hold my BRs. Was quite a problem..).
Back on topic..... yeah, hope the dev team leaves zoners wiggle room.
Some will actualy want to be able to at least try (IE: have the RP opprotunity at at least attempt to) remain neutral.
Some (like mine) have no reason to even consider it, due to past issues.
(as for the loadouts.... yeah, TBH the only reason his BS used regens at all was that you kept using cruise drain to recharge. Makes me wish I'd had a cruiser not a BC, since I coulda just kited you to death that way, ah well we learned. If soemone shieldcrusies off to use the drain period to regen shields, just exit cruise just inside of weps range when you catch up.)
(As for the ship, well it was SRPd so I wasnt sure if you were given a 'if it gets destroyed during a RPd encounter, its gone for good' clause or not)
I expect in 4.86 Zoners situation will be rather difficult.
FP6 on the front line.
FP10 trapped and surrounded by outcasts and gallics.
FP1 overloaded by refuges.
FP11 nomads, bhg vs order vs corsairs. total mess.
FP9, FP5 surrounded by corsairs.
FP2 already trapped.
Mollys and retreating Bretonians push to Omega 49.
Zoners fighting openly, since the real enemy came to their doors.
The end of Zoners' neutrality and peaceful life is coming.
It is time to start thinking about new Zoners sleeper ship.

In RP, Doc preached this, knowing what was coming. He even preached that Gallia would have a cake walk in Sirius with all of the fighting going on and it looks like he will be right. It's amazing what it takes for people to put aside differences for a common goal.

For now, yes. Zoner aren't afraid to fight. They just make it a last option, something most others can't do. I've often found that the silent types are the most deadly.

Not likely.

Always has been. No change there.
Quote:FP9, FP5 surrounded by corsairs.
Nor there!

Or they could colonize Sprague. As it is, the Zoners have given Bretonian refugees a home on GC in Port Jackson. If they want more, they best start with some diplomacy because the Zoners haven't forgotten about planet Erie which was taken control of by Liberty. They won't let it happen again!
