Alright look, I actively strive to run a faction that operates with relatively good combat standards. And for Discovery standards (I know) I think we do fairly well.
But from this recording anyway, the Hessian/Coalition side was the one that opened the engagement while outnumbered before all their ships actually arrived. The fight most certainly did not open at a 4-1 ratio (I frankly would’ve been more impressed if we managed to outlog that hard.).
If there was a 15 minute waiting time given I imagine it was for both sides, and I’m quite sure (though I cannot speak for my counterparts in the other factions) more time would’ve been given for your side to log more if requested.
Ultimately though, your side initiated while outnumbered by 3, my faction wasn’t even the overwhelming number on the lawful side, and the players on the lawful side exercised what by server standards was a reasonable response.
Would I have preferred you have been given an even fight? Absolutely. But when you’re essentially the one bashing your head into the wall here I really don’t know what you want, my members and those of the other factions present ultimately followed server standards to my knowledge. If the staff decree otherwise I will happily take action, but that is not the case to my knowledge.
