There is one small thing that frustrates me a bit. Every time I get near your guys in a Titan, they dock up or hug bases silently; but today I met your guys, I'm alone and in a Battleship and lo and behold, 3 BPA) bomber jumps in to assist an indie Dunkirk and another guy in a bomber. I knew I wasn't going to leave the scene alive, but you could at least have let me rough up the Dunkirk and the bomber before nova-spamming me to death or something, to make a somewhat enjoyable battle out of it?
It sometimes feels like it is about "winning" or "losing" for your guys, and I understand that is the direction the server is heading in, but I still expected more from an old official faction like BPA).
Thank you for your time.
We have been fair with you in the past.
Last week Mr.Smith and I (Waldorf Salad) found you in New London near the Planet (we were in Bombers and you were in your Battleship). After talking with you we agreed to escorted you out of Bretonia. No shots were fired at that point. Once we were past Cardiff in Cambridge we saw another Corsair Battleship heading in the wrong direction and so we left you to carry on. We were happy to not fire shots as neither of use are that good at PvP and we enjoy the RP more.
We then tried questioning this other BS and he said he was going to New London. We told him that we couldn't allow that and he carried on. This left us no option but to shoot at him. A few minutes later you came back in your Battleship and engaged us. This then was 2 Corsair Battleships vs 2 Bombers. We eventually withdrew because it was very one-sided. I can't remember either of us complaining about it on the Forums or via a pm.
Over the last couple of days you have wandered in to Manchester, yet again on your Battleship, and pirated BMF Hegemons and, from what I hear, killed at least one of them. Yet again I don't know if anybody has complained about it.
Today, I get the call whilst I was on my BPA Bomber that a Corsair Battleship was in Manchester and threatening the BMF Base there. I had to re-log as I was experiencing some lag. Smith went off without me to Manchester. Once I logged I headed there to find you in a fight with a BAF IDed Indy Battleship, Smith and 1 other who it turns out was a BMF Security Ship. As Police I engaged you and shortly afterwards you were destroyed. So in fact there were only 2 BPA Bombers, 1 Indy BMF (not sure what he was flying) and an Indy Battleship.
I didn't check to see your armaments vs the BAF Indy so I don't know who had the better Armour. You seem a very competent Cap Ship Pilot, after our original fight in Cambridge, and so I wasn't going to give you a chance to kill the Bretonian BS first, if you could, and then possibly kill us.
It was nothing personal and as you seemed happy to pile in on two Bombers with 2 Battleships I didn't see a problem with it.
As for docking or Base hugging every time you appear in your Titan, I have no recollection of this. It may be purely coincidence, I don't know. As I have said I am not much of a PvPer but I have fought the Reavers, GRN, Corsairs (Official and Indy) and I do believe my record is no kills to mostly losses and some running away.
So, I am sorry that you feel aggrieved but we are all guilty of the 'ganking' in one shape or another.
