Let me tell you one thing from a hunter to another, Tic. We, Mandalorians, are also greatly engaged in hunting down the Corsairs. Ranov'la Aran in specific, is known to be perhaps a little too brave (as in going to Gamma alone in Catamaran bomber). But mostly we try and go after these guys when they are around Omega-5, Cambridge, or perhaps even Omega-41, but that's really stretching a bit. If we think we can pull it off real quick, we do go for a hit and fade in Gamma. And I have to say that to date we've obtained a fair amount of success from these operations (some 40-50% success). Considering we're "entering the lion's den", I'd say that's an excellent mark. And I have to tell you, I can remember only a couple of time we took something larger than a bomber there, once a gunship (big mistake), another time two gunships (we got lucky on that one).
About fairness, there was this one time I saw two of the OPG guys in Crete and decided to go after Unseelie's bounty on them. Server was kinda slow that day so I decided to try my luck. I was in the Catamaran and they were probably too in fighter class ships, so I went there anyway, I thought perhaps I had a shot at pulling it off.
After two minutes fighting the two original guys, another wave of Corsairs started launching from Crete, first a Gunboat, then a Praefect, then a bomber. At that point I figured perhaps I wouldn't be able to finish off the fighter I had somewhat crippled a bit. What I did was say, "How many more ships are you going to throw at me so you can kill me?" But that was more something of an in character taunt than anything else. After all, if there's one thing you can rule out of most Corsairs is combat coldness, they are a proud people and most pilots I've fought against portray that quite admirably. Well, turns out my little challenge to their masculinity paid off and then the other bomber (that was OPG Crucifix if I'm not mistaken) told everyone to back off so he could single challenge me. We did our little showdown over Crete with the rest of the Corsair pilots away from the fight. We engaged in a fierce duel, but in the end he was the one to land the supernova.
All in all, if I was to say something of this... If they are a bunch of capwhores, as you so speak, the more reason to take a wing of bombers there. You'd clean their space quite fast. That one episode I've just mentioned. Even if I had been swarmed by fourteen Dreadnaughts there, I wouldn't be surprised. Sure, it would be overkill, but I'm the one entering their home system. It makes sense for them to throw their defenses at me.
EDIT: Ah, and it's mighty easier to bail out in a fighter.
