[MQS] ~ The Maquis

[Alex(Pineapple)]

1: Attacking with numbers is not against the rules, and we do our very best to avoid ganking anyone or anything, when it comes to fighting capital ships, we have to use bomber's to fight them as we do not own anything larger then a transport.

My personal experience was getting attacked by multiple bombers in a transport, even though I was typing.

2: What ships are unbalanced, and weapons? If you think things are over powered, and unbalanced, there is always the opportunity to speak with the development team and explain your quieries there. We use what is available to use inRP, and our ID allows. Including the Tech Compatability.

I'm referring to dual-MR SHFs. It is of course legal to use everything the game has to offer, but there's a reason those are banned in PVP events.

3: We do not write kudos for killing someone, it's usually for the roleplay given prior the shooting, as well as giving a nice fight. There is no sarcism involved at all.

I admit, it's a matter of perception. It still seems like an attempt to show off after a successfully-claimed blue message.

4: What policies and behavior do you not like? And why not write in our feedback thread some constructive critism so we are able to make amendments to make you enjoy your interactions with us? You do not like the Gueriella Tactic sort of playstyle/ roleplay?

Your RP (which I experienced it as a transport) was pretty much "Join us or die", followed by a gank and a later "kudos". But when met by a comparable force, you decided to withdraw. I'll give you an example below.

I encountered you on a gunboat. First I got found by one of your SHFs, then another SHF and a bomber joined in. There was also another Maquis in a neighboring system, who arrived later. But when another gunboat arrived, your characters talked nonsense and eventually retreated. Admittedly, we didn't attack either, but mainly because we don't force PVP scenarios (especially since some of your IRP remarks hinted that you were upset with facing GBs).

5. [MQS] have never visited a Coalition system as far as I am aware, and if there has been a player/character who has done so, please send me a private message with the evidence including a name so I can see for my self and ask questions towards my members as to why and what they were doing.

Well, I don't have the evidence. Admittedly, it could've been AR faction, so I could've mixed them up with you (seeing how you guys always fly together). Sorry about this part.

You are not calling us "Hackers", Please tell me what hacks do we use, and what it is we do so wrong that is violating the server rules?

I wasn't calling you "Hackers". I was referring to another faction that has seemingly adopted "blue-message-hunting" and "the-ends-justify-the-means" approach in game.

Anymore issues, or questions please come to me through discord or forum PM.

I would rather prefer having such discussions in the open. That way people can see if I'm in the wrong and make their own conclusions. Besides, I thought that the point of these threads was to evaluate faction's conduct to determine whether or not they deserve officialdom. The ability to handle feedback (both positive and negative) is an important part of that process.

Ok so, first of all. Good morning.
Now I have nothing to do with this but since this sheds falls light on the faction I can say the following :


1. Attacking with numbers... So that means ganking...? I've seen MQS flying around numerous times. And in some encounters they just set there while two equally balanced sides were fighting. Now that might not sound like anything important or unusual but theu could've easily just joimt either side and made the fight unfair.

When it comes to a transport fighting multiple bombers... I don't think that's such a big deal since if you're flying in a squad amd you meet a transport you won't just tell other memebers to back away. Otherwise it's not like transports have any chance against ONE bomber.

Now I personally know the members of the MQS and I can say that for a fact some of them are pvp whores skilled pvpers... Anyhow... I believe that MQS do not gank and I've seen them avoid doing so multiple times.

If ya wanna see a real gank log a MOA bomber in Omicron Alpha... Go on, I dare you!

2. While I myself believe that all ships in this game are too balanced, I think that every ship is unbalance if the pilot is good enough to know how to take the advantage of the ships capabilities.

Take MRs as an example. They aren't very good if you can't aim with them but they are, STRAIGHT UP MURDER WEAPONS if you know how to use them. In my opinion people use MRs because they once used SNACs in snub fights. Which in my opinion is fair. If you spent years and years of training to use SNACs and it was your primary fighting style you shouldn't stop doing what you like just because they were changed. It takes skills to use MRs against very heavy fighters and even lighter ships then that. Try it. <3


3. Kudos to you for giving people your opinion! While I don't know why this is a problem, I do believe I know why Kudosing is used for. Its to thank people for good encounters. Its also some sort of soft propaganda for factions. People are more likely to join you if somone tells your faction that they are fun and everyone can see it. :3

4. I agree with the points that mister little baby tree pointed out here. In other words, I don't know what you're on about and his reply seems reasonable.

5. I have no idea about this either.

In general, calling somone a hacker is a bold accusations to make it seems like you got killed in a transport and you forgot to apply the sandwich rule.

Also there is no "normal" people here. It's disco mate. We're all special in our own kind of ways.

Now if you excuse me I have to make myself a breakfast.
Best regards. ~Alex <3
