The New York fiasco

[Jinx]

i wasn t there - so i can hardly give a real comment about what happened.

from what you said ( and thats the only view i have atm ) - a few things appear fishy. - firstly, its unlikely that any pirate group drives 2 battleships into new york. - what a waste of material and crews. - new york is crawling with liberty navy forces. - sometimes there are 3 raid groups in manhatten only ( NPC ) - cruisers at the westpoint academy, battleships at the yards etc.

but thats up to perception. - who knows what they were chased out before with. ( the pirates often complain that the lawfuls chase them in cruisers and battleships - so its only human to ... have a little revenge and undocking the big ships themselves, nothing "wrong" with that from that pov )

about people re-engaging in different chars... thats a violation of the rules and can easily lead to a severe drop in popularity, cash and weapons. but its hard to proof, - come to that its hard to notice at all. - one would have to know one persons chars to proof it.

another problem is the strict focus on new york. - while everyone tries to scatter the people that sit in new york - such an invasion draws more people into it. - would have been nicer to invade california, i guess.

basicly, a big battle is fun - and thats what its all about. of course there should be something about RP when pirates invade new york in such a force ( npcs only come in daggers, bloodhounds and - in the badlands ( only ) in rogue gunships ) - but even so, - thats the point of the lawful defense.

the lawfuls had no need for all the battleships, if there wasn t a huge invasion sometimes - cause other than the warships, the lawfuls are very much superior to the pirates in new york. the lawfuls fly VHFs, HFs, LFs, cruisers, gunships, battleships. ( npc )

so, as long as it was fun - and as long as there was some sort of story about it - in advance or.... at least after the invasion... there s no problem with it. ( except for rulebreakers - but thats another issue )
