I can understand in people wanting others to leave them alone and such stuff. However, when people start making threats and whatnot about shooting, and I go shoot them in my defense, and they up and run away... Well, okay, sure, I'll just chase them.
Then I guess they radio for backup, and... Well, you already know from what I said before.
I'm not asking you to line yourselves up and let me "razor you all," as you've said. In-fact, I'd rather you not do that so we can have some more fun that way.
Sooner or later, you have to realize that this game was made for pvp interactions. It's pretty much inevitable at some point. Whether or not you want both sides to fully enjoy such an experience is another matter.
I win at times. At other times I lose. Hell, even losing can be fun sometimes.
And as long as the fight was fair after I had lost, I think to myself, "Well, one of us had to lose. Guess it just happened to be me that time, and I'm glad to have even had that experience."
I'm a Freelancer. Unfortunately, a death message is what drives part of Freelancer/Mercenary combat. No death message, no payment. We can't pirate for cash, and we can't levy fines for contraband either. On my Xeno, I could care less about killing someone or not. Hell, making them run away is always a plus for me, since I don't have to fight them and I can focus on more pressing matters.
But.. Freelancers, 'ya know? We don't get paid for dock messages. We may be after the dreaded "blue message," if you will, but that doesn't give you the right to ruin a person's attempt at some fun by bringing in pretty much anything and everything against that one single person. Last I checked, you can't kill a destroyer in a fighter on your own (Most cases. There are a few rare exceptions, as is in many things). So why would you even consider bring that, and multiple fighters to drive off one person? It's just plain over-kill, if you ask me.
I don't mind facing a few of you guys at once; really, I'm asking for it when I engage the IMG or CR, since you folks are so active. But could you maybe tone it down a notch and not break out the cap ships when a few fighters can do the job just as well..?
