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?

Yes, you are right these "super secret bases" are stupid, but those are the confines of the game mechanics, and we have to deal with that the best we can. I thought it was a maximum of 18K, but today I saw the Heg at 14K (players show at longer ranges than PoB's), and when I got there he was positioned on top of the base. He might have moved, but the point is that players from each side are likely to be in scanner range when undocking. That is unfortunate, especially for the few Corsair and Gaian players that aren't completely discouraged from logging already.

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.

This is maybe a technical discussion, but I strongly disagree. A Hegemon hugging a PoB with Cerberus platforms can be quite nasty to get at in a Battleship (I had to engage from 3K out and did not expect to pop it), where a smaller ship can dodge the incoming fire and get in range to deliver heavy damage. A battleship is terrible for many things, piracy included. Cruise is always an option.

If I am in my Bomber I would rather not take on a Battleship if I can help it.

Ok so you fly ducks, prefer not to fight other snubs and Battleships - that just leaves Cruisers and Gunboats, which in my opinion can be two of the nastiest things to fight in a snub.

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?

Who knows? You might mop the floor with me. Plenty of people do; but if I fought you and knew I was a lot better than you, then yes, I wouldn't hunt you and I would give you the opportunity to leave unscathed, provided you didn't throw insults etc.

We're going wildly off-topic here. I guess the conclusion is that I am unhappy with the fairplay in the situation today, but the BPA) believes that I should suck it up and realize that this is how the game is to be played?
