Xeno Alliance Faction Feedback

[Orin]

First; I'm not XA. but I was the indy with those two XA.

You were caught pirating in Colorado.. Thats Xenos territory and we don't take kindly to people poaching in our yard. We didn't know what you were flying until we found you, and it doesn't really matter either. If we were three gunboats, then you'd have a right to complain. But three fighters, and you want to complain about that? Should two of us fly Starfliers just to appease you when our goal is to kill you, not have a pleasant friendly chat?

Well, first off, I’m not really complaining at all, but I’ll hit on that in a second. It would be a little nicer for you to create fairer battles, not 3-on-1 routs, but that’s alright. I’ll accede on my point there.

Furthermore, we chased you to Cassini, your guard system.. Most of the time people pull off and not enter the guard system to avoid the strong NPCs. And you.. Want to complain because we risked it to do what we thought was in-RP, catching you? Really, what did you want us to do in this situation? Just let you go, no consequences?

Think for a second here; if a pirate fled into the Badlands alone, and three [LN] chased him to Buffalo, what do you think the community would think? It’s really the same thing here, just with a few names switched out.

This isn't a complaint about how we conducted ourselves, for my wingmen were RPing excellently, while we got little back from you..

I was taking everything you said as serious and civil until that bit, which disappoints me a little, since the bolded section is a flat out lie. There were three of you, and the back and forth between us involved mostly myself and Pygmy out of the four RPers. Falcon offered a fair bit of RP too. I saw about three lines from you; one of them taunting me after I docked in Cassini. Please speak truthfully here.

This is a complaint simply because we chased you and weren't going to let you get away with doing whatever you damn well please..

Nope, actually it’s addressing something I think is PvP oriented, and poor form for an established, respected, official faction. If you don’t think so, sure, but I would kindly ask you back out of this, since I’m talking to the XA specifically.

This thread is here for constructive criticism and to let XA know how to better themselves. Not only is this unconstructive, but you provided absolutely no suggestions on how XA could fix or change what they do to make it better. This is because they did absolutely nothing wrong, so you can't suggest how to fix what isn't broken.

No, my first comment is opening the discussion, as it did. And since you want a suggestion, I’ll give one.

I simply don’t think chasing someone into their guard system is good form. Within RP, it should be hidden to them, for one; in which case following someone to its doorstep would turn that fact upside down. If you want to say I shouldn’t have run there, there really wasn’t anywhere else for me to run to. I was being chased by a noticeably superior force. The same as with a pirate fleeing into the Badlands, a Xeno should break off at that point. Why? He would quite possibly get himself killed within RP, running off into uncharted, hostile territory. I fly a Xeno as well, and I would never do this, as I think it’s bad form.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not implying that any of this is sanctionable or whatnot; I’m only putting in my opinion that this poor form for an official faction.

Is chasing a single bomber with a group of three regular for us? No.

Good to hear.

Is chasing a single bomber who pirated in Colorado perfectly legit and in-RP for us? Yes.

Okay.

Is chasing a single bomber into his own guard system, where he has the advantage and we certainly don't hurting RP? No.

In think it is. RP is all I care about here. I didn’t die, and even if I did, I wouldn’t care too much. RP is the point of this discussion.

Is it in-RP to do exactly what was described to attempt to fulfill our objectives, regardless of the risks to ourselves? Yes.

As I said, I don’t think so.

I didn't think we'd catch you since you had a big lead (and we didn't), the chase was entirely in RP for us since Colorado is our main base of operations, and it was a nice bit of RP we put into system chat.

I'm not exactly certain what you've got to complain about, Orin.

Semper Non Sequitur,

Glenn

My comments to Dab just about cover it.
