To VF

[Rashnok]

Well, I was flying the Donnerschlag at the time of both of these incidents. For the RepEx incident, I'm sorry if I was a little quick on the trigger. It's just that in my experience with the Thor... you can't RP much in it. I've had... many bad experiences with traders just suddenly opening fire and blowing me to pieces with no warning, not the mention the traders that call in big friends or the traders who simply F1 and the like. Also, I was kinda on the warpath at the time. I was intending on going on a hunt for those harvesters, but you just happened to pop in at the wrong time.

To the RaVeN: That was an interesting encounter that we had. I think that you really need to work on your loadout. You have Dragonflies, Blood Dragon Turrets (both of those on a Blood Dragon gunboat make sense), and... Order turrets? Please, oh please drop the Order turrets. There is no reason to have those on your ship, in RP or OORP. It's only going to end badly. I also recommend that you pay attention to the sanction forum. Apparently some members of your faction, not necessarily you, were attacking those Junkers guys that came in and broke up our fight. The entire RaVeN faction/clan is now considered hostile to Junkers. That's probably why you were so surprised that Yanagi was shooting at you. You have potential though; rarely would a gunboat stop a fight just because a fighter (a Junker no less), asked him to. Kudos to you for that.

I do find it ironically amusing, however, that now I'm being told that I don't RP enough. Back in the days of the BU (the Bundschuh that came before the VF), we got flamed for RPing too much. Eg: Propagandizing in system chat and pretty much "jamming" standard comms (the jamming was just a side effect though. I had... lots of rhetoric.)

So, once again, to reiterate, I apologize for being a little too quick to kill. I had intent to kill, but I wasn't gunning for you in particular, I was just in the mood. Zephyr, you've got potential, but you need to rethink your loadout and possibly your RP. No one knows what RaVeN really is. Are you Blood Dragons? Are you just common pirates? We need more information.

Edit: Reread the original post. A few more points to add. It was a Thor, not a Loki. If it were a Loki, the worst I could've done was been annoying and try to kill you with rhetoric. I'm also still something of an amateur with the bomber and the supernova. It's too strong sometimes, and too weak at others. When I'm fighting a gunboat, I can barely hurt him, when I'm pirating a transport... I accidentally kill them. (Did that once before. Too bad I can't use that excuse this time.)

Edit 2: Also, going to try some different tactics when it comes to interfering with the Rheinland government. Sounds like it's about time to get some more traders doing some business for us...
