Fairplay vs Roleplay

[Orin]

Indeed, Titan. There's absolutely nothing wrong with sending a superior force to neutralize an enemy. What you do need to do though, is give the other players some kind of a chance at victory.

This is a game, remember, what's wrong with the lawfuls losing? What suffers?

Every situation differs, I see nothing wrong with any of the examples you provided. Those situations would be fine in any case. You send a superior force to win as an upholder of the law and safety of a system, but you don't send so much that in RP, your resources would accordingly suffer.

I think the problem most people (myself included) throw at Liberty is the fact that although the LN or LSF will put a modest number of units into a battle, three more independant capital ship pilots will come in and join the mayhem. Telling them to bug off isn't something that's done enough, because it usually turns what could have been an amusing skirmish into a rout.
