Lack of Outcasts

[Helo]

Maybe you're looking at wrong time zones?
I remember daily T23 raids when outcasts used to bring at least 5 battleships, as many gunboats and up to 10 fighters against few Nyxes, then shoot everything in range.
But I gotta admit, Ages Since I saw big Gamma raid made by outcasts..Nowadays gamma's attacked only by SCRA/RHA/Moneyhungry mercenaries.
'sair raids have ceased to exist too..

But.

Outcasts are just now buying their brand new and shiny valors and toying with them... thats why cool.gif

This.
And take a look at this

Number of Falcata 381
Number of Praetorian 246
Number of Outcast Battleship 36
Number of Outcast Dreadnought 117
Number of Corsair Dreadnought 71
Number of Outcast Gunship 395
Number of Gallic VHF 262
Number of Gallic HF 47
Number of Gallic LF 12
Number of Gallic Bomber 98
Number of Gallic Battleship 63
Number of Gallic Gunboat 53
Number of Gallic Cruiser 36
Number of Council Battleship 27
Number of Council Gunboat 28
Number of Council Cruiser 22
Number of Osiris 204 (include at least half of this as corsair)

Well.... Outcasts are still in number but many people are preparing their GRN chars for .86

I actually have seen quite a bit of Sair raids within the past 2 weeks, about 5 of them. I've personally been in 3 of them. And i remember that one about a few weeks ago in which the GRN, BHG, and Corsairs allied (wtf? I know right) with one another to take down the Outcasts... i remember seeing around 20 battleships spamming mortars at Malta near the end....


And interesting statistics sheet, never seen that before, thank you.

Well it is faction right fail- same with corsairs- official factions don't have any rights to control the indie capspam. This makes tons of people on the both sides witch spam each others with caps- sometimes is funny sometimes it is not.:mellow:
According to the rules they also don't pirate since it is forbidden with caps and the whole makes it too look like there are few outcasts- there are a lot but in caps in gamma eta alpha theta etc.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

Cause you need to train and get more skill to win fighter pvp or war. No need to train, after few weeks of aiming target with missiles, and 10-15 team kills you will be fine on battleship. So... take your caps with missiles and rule the Sirius.

Been off-line for a few weeks but let me hazard a guess.
Right now, the Outcasts don't even have a bounty board. They do everything they can to encourage everyone except their own. They pay all and sundry but don't reward their own. Don't believe me?

101st Outcast Guard MercNet

Good day. The 101st Outcast Guard decides to reroute some of the Cardamine trade profits to maltese MercNet.This contract is only availible for members of the Reaver Mercenaries or Mandalorian Mercenaries. Update: Is now also open for Outcast-friendly mercenaries. Ask for a permission to hunt here.

I'm happy to be corrected (I'd love to be if I'm honest honest) but can someone point me in the direction of the bounty board for Outcasts?
You know, Outcast ID'd vessels?
The only reason you get any Outcasts is because the 'other one' can't use caps. Otherwise, guess what?!
As such, Outcast RP is dying as the only Outcasts you see outside of Alpha are cardi haulers (I won't call them 'credit farmers') or cap pilots (see above for reasons).

I'm not going to start some rant at a specific ID here because frankly, I'd don't want to cover old ground.

Other reasons?
101st...I don't know whats going on there with this bounty board. Not sure why, as the Outcast officials, you promote non-outcast rp over outcast rp but having known you for many years, I'm sure you have your own reasons.
RoS?
I am totally confused and from what I understand from others, so are they.
Right now, Outcast need some recognition but more importantly, they need others to recognise them for what they are. It's all well and good being something to scare children with storys of at bed time but in the old days, they scared everyone. Right now, trade routes don't favor them. Sigma 13 was a warzone between Outcasts and Corsairs over pirate rights to one of the busiest trade runs in Sirius.
On that particular note, I sincerely hope they get some love in .86

Happy new year to all.
