Morality over Roleplay...

[tfmachad]

We had three [RM] ships in New Berlin yesterday. Two Wraths and a bomber. Me and two of our newer guys. We role played the discovery of his presence in system and I ordered the two ships to find and engage him. As I gave the order, a fourth [RM] logged in. He heard the order and left the Planet to find the RHA. When they told me they had found the guy, I decided to pull back one of the ships.

I took the bomber away from the fight, ordering him back in formation with me, while the two others kept fighting the RHA. The way I see it, two ships versus one may be a challenge to the outnumbered pilot, three on one is just annoying and not really fun. I'm not saying that the RHA guy couldn't pull it off, specially against the two vanilla ships and considering the fact that two of the pilots are still in training.

I try and avoid these kinds of excesses around me if I can.

And I reckon you can, most of the time, even role play the situation. Arrogance is fitting quality to a fascist state military organization.

We did that in New York as Mandalorians too. Three of us met two pirate ships near West Point, a Rogue and a Hacker. For some reason the Rogue literally fled as we approached, leaving the Hacker alone behind. We were two veterans (me and Dieter) and a guy who had just joined that day. I told the new guy in open channels that he needed the training and sent him alone against the Hacker. When I figured the fight was bad for him and that he would likely lose, I pulled him off the fight and told him to go help our third ship around Manhattan.

Bottom line is: If you create a leveled environment, then it's likely that everyone involved will have some fun. If you tossed your overwhelming advantage away and lost, have a laugh and go do something else.
