RP realism

[Dab]

Well I had never really planned to take the chanceller... I recalled the commandos to take care of the Black Legion. I was actually waiting for whatever Virus was going to do the minute I saw his post. Then we were going to retreat before his large force. And you guys are saying I hadn't lost a single ship in the Unknown battle but if you read closely I lose alot of gunboats, cruisers, and fighters. And Nightfall's entire BSA got destroyed.

And I keep seeing this post from Wolfpack about how we couldn't have nearly as many resources as a house government. That really angered me. Now the houses, yes they have trade between each other to boost economy but they have to use alot of that for government stuff. Not only military. Plus most mineral fields have already been mined out in the couple centuries that the houses have been occupied. Omicrons have been relatively untouched so there are countless mineral fields that we could use. And since we don't have an actually government to govern or anything of that kind we can focus every bit of money we get from those countless mineral deposits towards a military. Just because a faction doesn't live in what you, quite arrogantly, clasify as "house" space and "house" factions doesn't mean a faction can't be just as strong as one. Every battleship mentioned in my posts actually exists. And there are even ones I didn't mention. And then another thing about Rheinland being so much stronger than us. Remember the Nomad war? Rheinland lost half of it's fleet during that time. Then more of it during the RP of the coup against the Rheinland chancellery. Then yet again have been fighting Liberty. AW out in the Omicrons with neutral standings with the pirates has not been plagued by any (RP) wars or pirate attacks. Where Rheinland has been targeted by many pirates, wars, and terrorist attacks. And then there is the mercenary business of ours, which would cost a ton due to the size and firepower we can supply. Bringing yet even more income that we could use completely on military forces.

And I wasn't planning to "hijack" Angel's thread. I was at first just asking what they were doing in Gamma (and Kane saying anything about a Sig-17 JH to there really kinda messed up alot of stuff. It implied that they had either traveled through Theta, and at first confused me and I thought he had a 2nd fleet.) and he didn't tell me. Then I tried helping him against the Nomads with a scanner able to detect them, but he "somehow" knew where they were then "cloaked and pulled away." So I countered him.

And now the stuff about the battlegroups and fleets stuff. From the way I use fleet in my posts it is clear that when I say fleet it means the entire AW. And when I used battlegroups and how they were being shifted (1-2 per system I even said) it was obvious that it was the equivilant term of a fleet in Rheinland. AW is not a military house faction and so we aren't forced to us the same terms for stuff.

Your saying I made giant unstoppable fleets but in the posts, but I said that one in unknown was battlegroups from two whole systems and leaving those with just skeleton crew defenses. The unknown fleet was actually still bigger and was one fleet from ONE system. So I had to pull more stuff from more places to even get close to their fleet that was average sized for them. And my biggest fleet the Enterprise fleet was dwarfed by the size of the biggest Rheinland fleet, only half the size infact.

But you are complaining about my using large forces and even what terms I use for a fleet when Kane used a cloaking device that Rheinland would not have and would never let anyone know they had it if they did unless under extreme circumstances (ie such as a battle they were doomed to lose). And they used it when all that was going on was us talking. Then there is the personal cloaking for BL legionairs. Never had there been mentioned, even in the storyline of the game, about cloaking fields for troops. I had allowed it in the Mayday thread because they were Phantoms and they were supposed to have mastered cloaking technology. But the Rheinland troops never had any and should never have any.
