Ok first off i just want to say that the ENTIRETY of our "cap fleet", as you put it, is two Destroyers and a Battleship. And even the Destroyers are only recently comissioned (one was created in the past couple of weeks and the other a bit longer ago). We only got and use these to fight off the never-ending stream of independant capital ships.

Yes, i was parked about 10-20k outside Manhattan. But yes, i fled when engaged by multiple targets and yes, i was RPing it all. While it was great fun to have our flagship as a Destroyer it simply didn't last. I took it out to join in a raid (4ish fighters and 2 bombers) and got utterly owned within less than 15 seconds.

We only use our capitals (every pilot has a fighter or bomber, just so you know) when we have to. That is, when we enter New York or California to find 3-4 USS caps, a couple of independant ones and maybe one or two faction'd ones with fighter escorts. Normally i use my bomber, [LR]-Valdar, Kuraine uses [LR]-Dravis and AnomalY uses [LR]-CorrupteD. If the amount of capital ships in Liberty decreases then i will very happily let the Graviton gather some dust but it simply doesn't look like it's happening.

Point is, however, different.
You attacked Manhatan with your entire fleet.
In RP that is called a suicide mission. Are you going to tell me that you had to attack Manhatan?
And are you going to tell me that you were provoked so you had to use capital ships?
I mean, you were 20 minutes in front of Manhatan (not 20k, i know very well you were first 2k away, and then 7k away from Manhatan) with an unlawful ID and Outcast Battleship.
You were begging people to attack you, with your own appearance there.
Also, transmitting in system "Smugglers and pirates have a safe passage near Manhatan" wasn't helpful.
I exactly knew that in 10 min tops you will have a horde of angry lawfuls to fight.
And are you going to tell me that we were all flying capital ships?
As i can remember, Liquid had a R.Claw, i had a Bomber, and the rest were fighter/bombers as well.
Only one Bcruiser that died earlier was a capital ship.
You were not provoked into a fight, you were looking for a fight.
And in the end, you took Battleship and 2 Destroyers out without any fighter/bomber escort.
Not a single one.

Try using those capital ships one by one, that is my point.
1 + fighters is max for Rogues.
Rogues aren't that powerful as you RP it.
"Cardamine made us rich" etc etc. It doesn't work.
Why? Because they can't hide Battleships and Destroyers, and they need.
And you are RP-ing an attack on Manhatan, while you should be hiding your capital ships from the navy.

My whole point is, you are a bit out of your boundaries, that's all.

It is every Corsair's responsibility to die a beautiful death in defense of Crete, regardless of how OORP or how capwhoring the opposition is. Launch your fighter, joust the battlecruisers and die a beautiful death. Then, drink it down in the bar.
