I, for one, believe there was nothing stupid about what we did. I think we did excellent even though we lost, simply because of the fact that most of us were indie Outcasts who didn't have prior mass battle experience together. This was not a "planned" event that pilots have time to practice and prep for. This was an instant decision to make the raid agreed on by everybody at Malta at the time.
I've been in a few big battles before, but none that compares to this scale. This was an excellent display of RP from all who took part. I'm not sure about the Corsair side, but the Outcasts, while flying to Crete in formation, had EXCELLENT comm chatter. Well thought out comms from everyone, with almost no "//, LOLZ, or other non-RP chatter".
This was, by far, one of the best nights I've had in my short 6 months here on Discovery, and I look foward to this again real soon.
I, for one, would be honored if a bunch of Corsairs took the time to hit Malta unplanned while I was buzzing around Alpha looking for something to do besides gunning for BH. A massive unplanned surprise attack is a perfect example of what good RP is all about. It makes you realize that danger can come from ANY direction, at ANY time, usually when you least expect it.
This wasn't 3 bored Outcasts hanging around Malta, planning a little hit-and-run raid. This was a massive assult on our arch enemy with destroyers, gunboats, fighters, and bombers. And all put together in about 15 minutes I might add. That is impressive in itself.
I thought, given the size of our fleet, we would emerge victorious and the Corsairs would realize exactly how powerful we are. HOW WRONG I WAS. I know I said this in my previous post, but I must say it again. The Corsairs have one helluva defense squadron. You boys know the value of your homeworld, and when trouble comes, you come from every direction to defend her. WELL DONE.
I learned a few things last night. NEVER, EVER underestimate your opponent. Not all is as seems. The Corsairs are an extremely well organized opponent, skilled and deadly.
And I definitely need more fighter practice.

Excellent job all, some of the best RP I've seen here yet.
My helmet's off to all of you, I was an honor flying with and fighting you.
