How do I always get tangled into crap like this
I am The.Devastator
This is the sitch: I don't like Zoners, I mean what do you do? The only trade/neutral-ish faction I'm in is ALG and that's going to get helluva fun now with the FR5 and upcoming ID changes.
But I do like caps, and from time to time do missions on Neph
What I saw
I log empty, and order starts their very short spiel you can see in the logs
A guy with nomad remains from missions cargo
and most likely Order who just undocked from FP where they do missions saw him (I wasn't there)
The chessboard
It was always going to end the same way
- the 2 nephs shoot torps they have for missions, order dodge by cruising, nobody kills anybody
And nephs just dock when they get tired of trying to kill weak ships as all heavy BS do without support near a base...
Weak RP
As you see from logs, order had no intention of role playing, chatted to drop engagement lines, asked people to come
and then a Coalition bomber appears and starts fiting - probably from their group too?
Boredom ensues
Well when I bring the over the top amounts of money up I was ready for some nice legal back and forth, and actually would be cool to see how people RP order - I just bought an Osiris myself and love it!
Instead they all full - bore and just start firing.

[03.06.2020 21:01:48] The.Devastator: sounds fair to me?
[03.06.2020 21:01:51] Akholony: Yes.
[03.06.2020 21:01:55] Order|Foxtrot: We're not paying.
[03.06.2020 21:02:04] The.Devastator: so you aren't serious
[03.06.2020 21:02:07] The.Devastator: about your mission then
[03.06.2020 21:02:13] The.Devastator: money wouldn't be of consequence to you
[03.06.2020 21:02:15] Akholony: ** All personel weapons hot **
[03.06.2020 21:02:17] The.Devastator: if you really had to get them
[03.06.2020 21:02:18] Order|Foxtrot: akholony first target?
[03.06.2020 21:02:21] CV-Isis: Jen: Gunnery, warning shots.
The "fight"
What do you expect - 20 minutes of heavy BS firing at weaker ships, weaker ships running with 0 chance of anyone killing anybody
And then both docking.
Conclusion
Opportunity lost for some fun RP
Just use your brain a bit and think about how "the fight" will look vs 2 nephs right next to dock
I was actually spamming in private chat to just dock because this will be boring for everyone...
Half the "fight" was their 2 Osirae (?) cruising away from torpedoes without ever firing. An opportunity lost to have some RP action on a zoner char for the first time
No Dock
I don't care
I don't understand Zoners much or what's the point but hangout tbh and don't intend to RP as them
But I guess it could be done with effort I will definitely not be spending
