Lets improve the gameplay between the Hessians and the Corsairs

Vito makes an interesting point; I saw a similar situation the other day.

Rheinlanders were camping out the New York gate in Texas; a fleet consisting of four battleships, 5/6 cruisers and a couple of gunboats.

Liberty had amassed a fleet of 4/5 Noughts/BC/SC, and were waiting to go on through. One LABC goes through and gets instakilled by the cruisers and battleships, without a word, the justification being "This is a time of war."

This led to the rest of the Liberty fleet logging off and going elsewhere, because they decided that taking snubs was pointless; viewing the fight, I saw why. 3/4 cruisers ganking lone fighters.

They decided there was no point joining lost fights, because it isn't possible to have fun. The same applies here. If given the choice between a pointless, lost fight and some balanced ones elsewhere, I might as well jut switch character and ignore them.

That's what happens when I log to find 10 enemy caps miraculously appear in Gamma.

Its other people's actions that cause this; whether its a matter of skills or tech is irrelevant. The fact is, it happens, so we should try and improve things for both sides. This means take a balance if it is needed and push fairer fights; its no fun to win every single time, because then there is no element of risk or apprehension.
