I suppose common scenes doesn't apply here? The 5th in the gunboat wouldn't think "Oh hey, he's already got 3 fighters shooting him, cruising in on my solaris/missile gunboat would be overkill."
Now with the California incident I'd be willing to overlook that as you rightly said Aux can do what they like, but when things like 5th and Aux working together to bring me down then the Aux Conveniently "Escaping" just has ugly written all over it, were they isolated events I could overlook them.... but they're not.
And can you really blame me for accusing the 5th of working with AUX ? http://discoverygc.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=144655 Proof that you've done the exact same thing with the order Oh and LNS-Phoenix is on that list, the gunboat who was helping the Aux shoot me... so yeah... there's that too.
