"Smart" from a strategic point of view, but if we all play "smart" all the time, this place will soon be a very hostile and unenjoyable place to play, and I believe as an official faction you have a special obligation in that regard.
This is the 'Super Secret Gaian Base' that you fall over every time you go to the Newcastle Jump Hole?
I suppose this is like the other 'Super Secret Gaian Base' that is right on top of the Cambridge to Poole JH or the 'Super Secret Corsair POB' that is sat right next to the same Hole with it's Weapon Platforms blocking it?
And I thought you said in another thread that the BMF Base was 18k away from the Gaian Base?
Quote:Again, you seem to have a particular issue with the ship being a BS, am I correct?
I have no problem with it. I have gotten used to it. Hence my statement of not complaining. I am just pointing out that the survivability of a Hegemon is more likely vs a Fighter than vs a Battleship unless the Hegemon runs away as soon as he sees you and then the complaint comes in that they dock at the first sign of trouble.
Not everybody is after shooting things and getting the 'blue message'.
If I am in my Bomber I would rather not take on a Battleship if I can help it. I would like the odds in my favour but many a time it hasn't been that way. It is part of the Game. I am not in the same League as any of the Reavers, most if not all the GRN Officials (seeing as quite a few are Reavers) or most of the people who are in the Official Fighting Factions. I just give it my best. I am not naive enough to expect to survive.
So If I fight you, on your Titan, and you easily beat me, does that mean from then on that you won't fight me/hunt me because it would be unfair? I don't think that will be the case. I could be wrong. Or maybe that is alright because your Titan isn't Official or maybe because that is all part of the RP?
Quote:It was the other way round, I undock from Holmfirth and see the miner I mortared on my scanner 14K away, I insult him a little, gets the two bases shield bubbles up, and then I get threatened by the security guy. I am not at all complaining about the roleplay or "realism", I am only complaining about fairplay.
As I said that is what I was told and therefore what i acted on.
