Hats off to HAF

[casero]

as a response to the above.... the example mentioned is happening because haf are attacking CRETE directly. we wouldent all jump in if we dident see you coming and attacking our homeworld, frankly its full in rp for indies to spring to defence of their homeworld, and also in rp for ships to wait for raids, as defencive fleets. (seriously, ever tried getting a legate or praefect through the asteroid feilds in a hurry?) frankly, the haf would get much more fair results if they dident just keep ramping up their ships. this is what has been happening, they get ran over by opg and cretes defenders... next day come back with 3 new gunboats and a cruiser, and STILL get smacked... Lesson here? caps are not the answer, we are more than willing to rp, but the most ive seen out of haf is "coming in to attack" or some sort when attacking their own homeworld.

I was talking about my own experience in gamma, before to HAF statement of war, and when we were mostly docked at crete, ask Gentle, ask Valentine, ask whoever you want to see that I tried to talk, not just Attack attack attack which is what I got there. Even once I undocked from Crete, and the [OPG]Torquemada (Legate) started to fire on me (Praetorian) and I said:
I: Can you stop?
T: Why?
I: Why? Why are you attacking me?
*silence*

What is HAF doing about combat now? I don't know.
