Remember when cccp got spanked

[Technogeist]

When something like three/four Lynxes and one/two Cougars against a Zephyr and its snub escorts (which had just finished running away, if you'd forgotten) constitutes a gank, then I guess I never will understand PvP |:

I struggle to get PvP as it is.
We ran because you had like three or four gunboats will full solarises helping ya (who were Outcast affiliated, as I gathered from their messeges) and we only had two Nyxes left! Which would be fine, but our flagship pilot was lagging out, which is why you would have barely noticed him firing, and rubberbanding a lot. Sorry about that, by the way, his PC is buggering him, lol.
And, well, no, I don't know if they've teamed up in the last week, I just remember all my fights being a massive GRN-101st gank. Next time I see it I'll take screens and PM you them if you like, I'm sure it'll happen again.

It'd be lovely if you made some screenshots. Unfortunately I only have some with the HUD turned off. The Outcasts were siding with you, just so you know. Why? Because you arrived after we had already started shooting them. Hell, there's even chat coming from the CL} that basically reads "let's kill the GRN first".

CL}, XTF, CR|, 27th|, even your Zephyr, against about five GRN. Total gank.

Edit: Really abandoning thread now.

My recollection is that the CCCP-Corsair "alliance" was just a meeting

but it pissed off Dab

CCCP and Dab are all gone now so, RP may commence

Right now Gallia is way deep into Bretonia, with ZoIs that overlap with the Corsair's to a full extent.

Lol @ the different directions everyone seems to have taken in this thread.

But somehow this is looking awkward because in lore it was stated a terrific number of GRN fleets, ships and resources sent to Sirius (which in some cases is more than any other Houses main fleets combined) and yet...they fall so far to need the assistance of ...pirates.

The ooRP need for numbers to combat the vast numbers against GRN aside, even inRP they are no longer the overwhelming force to roflstomp through Sirius... given they've already done that across about half of it already.
Going to link this lovely post again, where it's roughly a stalemate in Magellan/Manchester until one side can bring more forces there. GRN have to fix some of theirs in Leeds, while the Corsairs would prevent anything serious being moved from the south by Bretonia.
Both the Corsairs and Outcasts are more than just some pirate force remember (Hessians too, although not quite as significant).

Since this thread is about hypocrisy and you mentioned a house working with pirates, I'll just mention Bretonia's support of the Outcasts, Hessians, Privateers, Golden Chrysanthemums and (in the past) Mollys. Keep that foot in your mouth

I was in the 2te and it was damn fun tho. :| I am dead serious.

Spazzy, you are particularly infamous for having fun at others' expense. Don't kid yourself.

That was the one battle

Exactly. "This side always ganks us" never holds true, because even if you do try and avoid it you'll occasionally (or more frequently) end up in a situation that you outnumber your opponent. While it might not be 27th or whatever one faction doing the ganking on their own, they are often accompanied by several Liberty or other indies/factions. Sometimes to be fair you have to make the unfortunate choice of simply leaving it be. I personally don't enjoy being only a tiny wheel in the machine stomping on our enemies.

As for CR-GRN-OC combat, there aren't any specific orders on my CR| or the CL}'s end to specifically target one side before the other. How the fight is going, what ships are there, and the size of the three sides can drastically change who is the more viable target: e.g. if we have more anti-cap stuff we might shoot a smaller Storta force compared to a Lynx swarm.
