Bretonian RP - Stagnant? New Ideas? Pushing the line?

[Cashew]

I think a large issue here, in terms of Leeds raids at the very least, is simple.

The "good" people don't want to play the Bretonian side of the game.

I can understand why. I flew a Dunkirk for less than 48 hours, participated in 3 Leeds "raids," and after a trio of losses because of incompetence on the BAF side, sold my Kirk to an NPC Station. This can all be summed up very succinctly in one ingame comment, by an old BAF member, directed at my Reaver.

"BAF|Ens.R.Ree: you all the best of server, we mostly noobs"

All things considered, look at the most active BAF players, versus the most active GRN players.

On the GRN side, I see myself, Flash, Flo, Haste, Omicega, Dan, Titanbot, and a number of others. All of those players are very, very competent in their chosen ship classes. The GRN has some of the best Battleship captains on the server, some of the best snub pilots on the server, some of the best pilots in general on the server.

When it comes to the BAF, the only people I can honestly recall from memory as being very, very good at what they do are Thunderer, as well as one or two others. And by god, does Thunderer give the Gallics a hell of a time.

Unit cohesion is a major issue. When the GRN log, a very good portion of us are regularly in Teamspeak. We coordinate targets in group chat. We keep firing on one target, and once it's down, we shift targets. On the BAF side, from my experience, everyone just does their own thing. This problem is only exacerbated when the LNS come into play, as they're even less likely to follow orders from the BAF than the HMS indies are.

So, on one side, we have excellent PVPers with wonderful coordination via Teamspeak and good tactics, as well as the ability to log quickly and en masse.

On the other side, we have slow Skype chats, members who are tired of losing, capital pilots who either cannot or will not follow orders, and do not know how to use their ships.

If the Bretonian side wants to actually win fights, (and I hate to sound trollish,) they need to get good, they need to get coordination, and they need to get Teamspeak.

+99999999 I agree.
