Capships, increasingly slower fighters? Or strategic weapons?

[mjolnir]

why would anyone fly anything else then?

90% of fights on the server have less than 6 people in.

Also getting a BS here doesn't take half a year or something, all it does is some 15 hours of trading.

A small nuclear missle launcher would be awesome, limit of 5 missles, 2X blast radius of mine, and 20000 damage?

Yea, 5 faction players against one indy.

Why should faction bomber whoring be easy?

Who would care to use bombers if BS would be so powerfull "those faction ooRP bomberwhores" ©- Akumabito, would just log on their 2 shared battleships anytime anything would come by...... so attackers will bring 4 BSs... and the faction will get 6 shared BSs.... etc....

would make for a bit boring server with everyone in BS don't you think?

Heh, thats funny Akuma, cos the last fight I got in was my xeno XA eagle outnumbered by 5 indy caps in Liberty... Oh you do make me laugh sometimes with all your japes and jests.

[Akumabito]

That's funny because the first fight I was in on this server my indy was ganged by a faction five to one.

I don't blame indies from learning how to pvp here from factions, do you?

The fact is, it's usually the faction with the numbers on their side, that's why you join a faction, and I have yet to see a faction go "We have three, you're alone, only one will fight you."

Tell me, Akumabito, how many of those online players are factionised?

I count 25 tagged/grouped/factioned players. By group I mean the non-official folks like SMR etc.

Now explain to me how the massive number that is 25 factioned players can continually gang up on the "poor little indies" and take them on 5-1?

[Dra1003]

Aku you do realise that both factions AND independents can be unfair to that degree right? dont assume its all the factions fault because thats biased.

Ok enough with the faction bashing lets get back to topic...please?

Ive had enough of disco for now. I might be back at the next mod release.

You know how it works, one faction member delays you while the other four log out of their untagged characters and into their tagged ones.

And you do realize it's far worse with factions, because they are the ones with big groups. With the indies it's largely happenstance.

[Niezck]

Oh right so now it's the not-so-indie-indies that're turning into this big, evil, menacing war machine called factions? Screw it, why not go the whole way and blame the entire server for not conforming with your ideals?
