Hm, no good news.
First: I was shot up. Okay. Happens. But I learnt something... more than one thing actually.
Secondly, and more importantly:
<span style="font-size:18pt;line-height:100%]Reaver's Conduct in Tau 37
Alright, I assume Reavers are somehow on our paycheck. Okay. I also know they do not shoot Outcasts. I also know they shoot the Colonials. They shoot Renegades. So this happened:
IMG| and Colonials hunt for a Renegade. Rorry jumps to Alpha. Two Reavers follow. Nothing happens, we stay at the Freeport.
Rorry's gang, some Outcast MNS-Warship and gunboat appears at the Alpha hole. Reavers standing by. No Colonials were with us at the time. We expected the Reavers to attack the Renegades, which did not happen.
IMG| retreated towards the T23 hole, to draw the enemy from the very dangerous Alpha region. We managed, as they followed.
IMG| and ICMG forces, and later one Colonial pilot engaged the Renegade and Outcast group that consisted of gunboats mainly, no HMS warship any more at that time.
The Reavers stayed out, looming very close, but not entering on any side.
[color=#FFCCCC]In a tense fight, we took Rorry almost out, he had 1 % hull left... and then the Reaver fired one shot and claimed the kill. Or, I am rather sure Amethyst will claim the kill on our board.
Let me clarify that: IMG| and ICMG bombers were fighting against very dangerous gunboats that destroy our bombers in one good hit. No helping hand from the Reavers, even though we have a crampsload of cash on the butts of these Renegades.
But then they jump in, at the right time... to cash in on the juicy targets that we softened up in a hard fight? I frying say "No!". I lost my ship in that chase, in the last seconds of Rorry's ship's fight for life... just for some Merc who was too fine to get his hands dirty to collect? No frying way.
Summing it up: I am not pleased with what I saw. I know Mercs are unscrupulous. But we don't have to accept this. I contest any possible kill claim of Rorry, dated 18.10. at about 20:30 and claim it for IMG and ICMG. The Reaver involvement was not worth noticing.
I request the bounty board manager not to hand out a single credit but tell them where the line is. I am not getting (ab)used by a bunch of mercs.
