Hey, I ain't saying a battleship should just ignore an enemy fighter it comes across, that'd just be stupid.
I'm just saying, I'm sick of people who attack, like outcasts and bountyhunters coming to gamma. Sure if we've got a large presence get a huge fleet and attack, but I always see 1 or 2 Corsair fighter/bomber/gunboats in Gamma and capwhores come in 5 cruisers expecting to pwn the living crap out of them.
This is when we call everyone in and spam them with bombers or even battleships.
If you fly around in a cap, expect to be swarmed by fighters and bombers, because most people don't like you.

Yes indeed , you cannot pirate in a capital ship , but thats not something that people buy those ships for. Since you are a Corsair and the Corsair have 1-3 capital ships (if not more) pinned as their own and they belong to the clan(s) , what do you do with them? Exactly , you RP them , thats what capital ships are for , since they are USELESS for anything else.
Like I said , most players have another charecter of the same faction in a VHF/bomber to pirate in them.
edit : Mule - I agree , I myself never atack VHF's (when they are not atacking me) in my BS , BUT RP wise (I'll need to give a WWII example here)
If a Battleship see's a smaller ship in the water , wich can't even hope to handle one or two shots from the BS , but is allied with the enemy faction to the BS , what would the BS admiral do ? He will sink the ship , 100% sure about that. Because , RP wise , if he let's the ship life , it may warn the main forces about the capital ship's location.
