Josh, it is NOT a way to do that, I'd very much like to face them with even odds but these exploits of every possible hole in the rules and the game itself is really lame, not to mention the fact that they do stand and fight when are only double in numbers and firepower against a slow moving target. If I had the 5 or 6 Tizona turrets like they did, they would have ran again.
H***, Assassin (MoonSpawn) was alone against me and I was having a really bad lag he started cruising on me as soon as I got his shields down (he didn't screan bloody lag when he pounded my shields to 0 power, but neither did I, I FOUGHT NOT RUN) even though I was properly armed, as a cruiser should be = 1 Inferno, 1 Light Mortar, 4x Cruiser Missile Turret, 2x Cerberus Cruiser Turret, 4x Light Corsair Turret.
I thought fighter turrets on capships are unbalanced and I armed my cruiser according to common sense the BS shield was there as I scanned the CUFF cruisers and saw the BS shields on them.
But you all say that it's OK to have them now - OK! But I better not hear ANYONE scream bloody murder when getting pwned by such a loadout in 20 sec by me or any other AW!
I am hereby ordering a refit of all the cruisers and gunboats in the fleet according to these rules.
As for your new allies, Josh, I am glad that you started seeing who they really are, how do you think they've beat the Tyr Regiment in a war that lasted 5 months? Ask them to be honest and tell the truth! Does BASECAMPING sound familiar?
I am really sick of this, Wolf is right, it's bringing out the worse in us all, the AW and CUFF. Why can't you people have a honorable war with great battles in VR and stories of great courage and skill and above all - have FUN?
