Deterrence OF application

[MechaCheff]

Not picking sides here, but I do have a question. Was there an attempt by DTR to message or alert the folks that were coming around the DTR fleet that you guys are doing an event?

Reason I ask is I for one do not spend all day on the forum or Discord, I don't know if factions are holding events even if they announced it in public. However, most in this community will leave you alone if you announce to them that you are trying to do something. There are exceptions, yes there are. But if you've given warning and you are still harassed, then I agree that all 15 or however many ships in your fleet have full justice to rain hell.

We often do that, and get the same result of people attempting to engage anyway. This time it slipped away because we were all bamboozled by the raidmaster telling us to gather at Delta instead of Xi. Thing is, if you see us gathering a huge fleet, you can assume it's always some planned group activity. And if you haven't been notified, it's probably not related to you. Disrupting it is considered rude and definitely will result in a pile of salt on the disruptor's side.

Granted, as @Kauket mentioned, you're not mind readers. Neither are we. But, as I mentioned and she purposefully expunged from her reply to my response on the topic, it's wiser to ask before engaging. The responsibility lies on both sides. We really can't stress this enough. You want a fair fight? Communication is key. Even spontaneously, we can adjust. We've done that several times with other groups of players.
