You're all to lazy to use you MASSIVE ZoI.
You're all to lazy to smuggle.
Youre all to lazy to fly snubs.
Work out your own issues.
second that....
I roleplayed my OC in bretonia for like over a year. Had a darn good time there. I know a few OC players have taken it as far to wage private wars on the Order for shooting nomnoms or to fight in liberty alongside LR/LH.
Barbarossa, i have yet to see you fly a snub for more then 10 minutes, you spend 99% of your time in your dread or w/e cap you have. Loosing battles? Let me remind you of about 5 battles were you and i have fought side by side, just to see you pull out when things get tough and we seem to loose. Your own combat style relies on waiting till someone is stupid enough to walk into a poorly laid trap that can be seen miles away. Ofcourse you wont win in fights if you do that. No point in denying this either, i have spent about a year watching you and your group from my indies, 101st and other chars.
This may sound like a personal attack, and if you feel like it is a personal attack then i can't say im sorry. Having the truth slapped in your face always hurt, even more so when your upset to begin with.
The main problem for OC players as a whole is the lack of leadership present. Compared to the corsairs were there is almost ALWAYS a benitez/sails/tbh player around or able to respond. Compare that to the 101st/xtf which only shows up when the words "alpha" and "raid" comes up. There are other factors, like XTF, which is an undeniably powerful voice within the outcast community, does not look at themselves as any special part of the nation. They should indeed take a step back, relax their training sessions a little and try to enforce a few of the maltese laws. Several players have done this in the past, i kinda got famous for blowing up lolwuts doing stupid things, but now indies no longer listen to eachother unless there is some kinda tag involved.
Another problem within the outcast community is the lack of lore knowledge. More and more is totally unaware of the lore that exist, even basic lore like "do not shoot nomads", which has been done far too much as of late. Most indies that currently fly about, INCLUDING THE 212th GROUP lack knowledge of the Outcast lore, the rules of the nation and other important deals such as MM~ being a contracted to 101st for the past 2 years? and as far as i know, still is.
The general issue for both hispanic factions is that newer indies dont care about the lore, not one bit, untill the point were they enroll into an official faction. Which often takes months or even years.
