Have fun getting factionally cap-whored, then.:lol:

Quote:I can't count how many times over the past week I've seen multiple gunboats come into NY and basically rape everyone because there was no capital support for us fighters. Maybe the reason that there are fewer topics about "omg!!! pirates r so laym dey cap-ed mes!" is because instead of wining about it, we grit our teeth, bear it, and fight as best we can. So don't act like they just bring caps in to counter caps. These were mind you, all independent pirates, so, maybe the pirates need something similar?
I don't deny it happening. It happens everywhere (well, not everywhere. *coughkusaricough*), but telling the pirates they whine about it while the lawfuls don't? Do you know how many times there has been an impressive pirate force who has serious success, kills a few lawful little guys, then the Milwaukee or other major Liberty capital ships come out in full force, utterly annihilating the so-called cap-whoring pirate fleet? I'm not flaming these instances, because it makes sense for major Naval firepower to counter such a threat, but you see what I'm getting at.
The pirates -do- use capital ships more often than not because the Navy uses just that. Capital ships. After this order has gone down, I'm not saying the pirates in caps will stop. No, far from, they'll probably whore them even more. But my point is that there's a reason you see these things.
And this: "instead of wining about it, we grit our teeth, bear it, and fight as best we can."
Funny, how many times have I been whined to in PM by lawfuls (even factionalized, they're no better sometimes) about "missile-whoring" and such. Oh yeah, I use two missile turrets on my 522 GB, and they're sucky ones. I do believe the lawfuls don't "whine" because they know how hypocritic it would be.
Oh yeah, and bringing real issues to the table over fairplay isn't always "whining". Keep that in mind.
