Joe this isn't about NY. This about the reaction my faction gets from lawful factions. I control, as best I can, the Rogue indies when I am there to control them, Sindroms does the same. You will never see any LR- tagged player gank you in a gunboat if all you're flying is a fighter. Unless like a fool you fire first.
What the indies do I CANNOT prevent, I wish I could. But this, that is happening to us, is not just coming from indies, it's coming from the [LN] and =LSF= as well, whlst in group with these silent lawful caps. Hell I even tried to engage one of these faction folks in a bit of banter, and what do I get in response? Nothing. He just waited for the BC and cruiser to show up. Not a damn peep, so what can you do?
I don't give a good god damn if you come at us with 3 bombers and two fighters and a GB, against two Barghests a greyhound and a GB. Yeah we're pretty much screwed, but it'll be a damn good fight and we'll feel good about it when we lose. I ensure my Rogues respect YOU and yours. It would be nice if you could ensure the same applies to my LR.
The same goes to the =LSF= as well. Sure come fight us, but f we're not sporting a goddamn cap fleet, why the hell should you be? Dab got it spot on, mix and balance. There's enough Liberty caps about at any given time. You've almost always got back up, if you need it.
