Except it did, because two Unioners were engaging at the beginning and I tried to keep it a 2v2. I only had other people start engaging when the RM showed up, who are generally extremely skilled. Unioners were also incredibly spread out and with 2 minutes of time difference that fight would have started very differently for your side. Aux went in after a ship on your side went down, subbing in new nanos and shields into a fight with UN members who were all on various levels of drain, because we hadn't been straight from speyer, we'd come straight from piracy and were all a little worse for wear one way or the other - either lacking expendable munitions or regens, or with rad damage. We were all also very tired.
The last two times Auxesia came into a BDM + RM fight, we got absolutely dogpiled - so our response was to expect an absolute dogpile and generally try to whittle down the numbers faster than they arose. What eventually happened was a 6v5 that became a 5v4.
The gunboat wasn't called for, it materialised and offered to help. We decided "Yes" due to the skill base of the players involved and that we figured more would come out of the woodwork. We started off with fairly even numbers that stayed even, and escalated when the other side started to escalate. We've never had an encounter with Aux' that wasn't escalatory, so we used the GB as an area denial tool as we reassessed.
You had superior numbers and superior skills. We coordinated better so you lost the pew. Tell it like it is, go home, come back the next day. Consider thanking us for being around and giving you something to log for.
Edit: The same people who complain that UN| complains about ganking and balance, I took a leaf from, and stopped worrying excessively whilst trying to be fair. I'm now getting accusations that "UN| Ganks" from the same people. It's a game. Come with what you have, do what you can. If you want to get your own back, hit us during a convoy, when we're especially vulnerable - or just co-ordinate your forces a bit more. Nyx and Geoff were two of the people who formulated my attitude to PvP, in a good way. It's curious that you're now complaining over a fight loss. At the end of the day, you always had the resources at your disposal to win there. - you just didn't. Come back wearing a different hat - I'm sure you win some more.
