Don't feel bad about not being a fighter ace, the turn rates on fighters are ridiculous and are so high only those with the best computers and internet connections even have a chance. All fighters should be like Waran's in turn rate, or slower, then maybe you'd see a lot more people doing better at fighter pvp.

Saying this when many of the good people we have on Discovery, like @-Rax- own a PC that is probably older than myself feels like you are trying to hide the inability of people to learn and discredit others for the work that they've put into playing and learning the classes.

I remember I joined a fight where I couldn't tell if they were joking but I was told to make the fight interesting. Died in less than a minute to hear no, not interesting. How is that fun? These sieges tho I think where the worst. I could just hop on an alt and avoid fights but with a siege of a base that took players lots of time and dedication I have to be there. First day dead in less then 1 minute again. Tried again in a gunboat, swarmed by bombers and died. Next day roll out bs and die, but that made sense since I had very little experience using a Rhein bs. But that last day was bad, there were no more than 17+ people seigeing the base. Same thing for the next sieges.

Yall realize that alot that log are newbies right? Its wierd watching a bunch of guys happy over destroying people that have so little time on here. Since I been here I got just 3 snub kills and 1 gunboat. The first was a rogue bnd pilot but it was with the help of friend. The second was a bomber that I had found wondering in nb. It was evenly matched but both of us died. It was fun tho. And a ai ship that appeared and me and a friend fought. We couldn't scratch the shield even less the armor but with a well place mine that my friend set up and some good hits in the end I got him. The guy was nice. The gunboat was also through some help. But everything outside of that has been a loss. I have not won in a fighter fest. Not once. And thats just on the server side of things. Coming on here and watching alot of people tease or troll my friends sucks. I don't understand. You win the fight yet you got to rub it in our face? I get it, meme, haha. But when its the same 5 or 6 teasing and escalating on not one but various threads, it starts to seem a little excessive.

I feel bad for newerer players getting caught up into what both the Rheinland Lawfuls and Unlawfuls have been doing for a long time now. You see, it is a fact that In a game from 2003 some people have built up a massive amount of experience and skill and that can look overwhelming for a newer player. Most of these people have found themselves not only within RHA, but initially also in other factions similar to RM. I can speak from experience here (even as a mediocre at best pvper) when I say that the Rheinland Military in particular has had a policy of removing every member that has been playing for the RHA , and at some point that started to include the skilled pilots as well. This has been building up for quite some time and resulted in a RM that has barely any capable PVPER's on Snubs left while a lot of the good PVP'ers have ended up in RHA.

This, as well as other factors have resulted in the RHA stomping older and newer RM players in fights. That is not fun for any group but at this point all that I can say is that people in charge of the Rheinland Lawful side have been doing it to themselves. Kicking out everyone that can fight will obviously result in one-sided fights.
Alongside the unfair fights , a mudwar on the forum, over Discord and ingame ensued as well. When I initially joined this server I've been playing mainly Rheinland Lawfuls when I first joined the server and have been told that RHA are the devil that we have to cleanse. Over the 2+ years that I've been here since I joined, I've caught people lying multiple times to make sure fighting RHA looks worse than it actually is.

Now I'm not saying that the Lawful side is the only side responsible for this as it always takes 2 parties to argue and if I may speak for the unlawful population of Rheinland then I'd like to say that we know that we're not behaving as well as we should, but at some point you just grow tired of all the lies and excuses.

I think like Riehl said I will probably leave for some time maybe forever, idk. This isn't fun. This isn't a community. This isn't freelancer. To the few actually pilots that were apart of these groups that are good people like that one guy that let me and my friend fight him together, thank you. We lost but it was a good rp and fight. Keep on doing good. And to the rest of the people on here that are good people too have a good day. And please, for the good of the server, try to be better people. You'll alienate any people wanting to play. Fair fights and no toxic posts. I mean, can't you lose sometimes? This won't get you far, I promise. Funny, I only made it 4 months..... I wish yall the best.[/indent]

This isn't Freelancer, you're right. Barely anything of Vanilla in terms of faction concepts remains and it is a shame.

All in all, as being the one that nagged Wesker and RHA to siege some pobs, it was never my intention to break anyones spirit. My sole goal was to make the Rheinland Lawful vs Unlawful fight a living thing again, mainly inspired by the EOS and MNG Siege on Tortuga in Omicron Tau. That siege has a bunch of attackers and defenders, people have clashed quite a few times and sides have adapted their strategies on taking each other on.
People might want to point fingers and say "it's the hater gang (whoever these people are), they want to take Revenge for Sigma-21" and I don't think that is the case. RHA has had a history of sieging PoB's to a point where it has become a meme to say "Call Wesker" when you want to siege a base. In this case, Rheinland's history of kicking people out and telling everyone to not log against the Hessians has backfired on them and the destruction of bases is the result.


Good luck on what you'll play next, hopefully you'll find it more enjoyable.
