While I don't enjoy you guys assembling fleets to come after two guys, I am equally sure that you don't enjoy your traders getting om nomed by Abschnitt.

What I don't like seeing is your fleets coming into our secret home system and just camping the base there. Not all of them were ZTC guys, but enough were. We don't go into 74 to wait for you guys, we'd appreciate the same courtesy.

I partly agree with you. I know we would not send out such a fleet after just two guys without a good reason nor we're flying arround with big fleets to search our next victim.

Regarding this incident with one of our traders and that Wilde gunboat Abschnitt ... well ... it's all about "actio et reactio".

Our trader got attacked by this Wilde while jumping trough the jumphole to O47. This Wilde was waiting there at the other side ... and opened fire immediately. Meanwhile it stumbled a few words to justify his attack... and slaughtered our trader, who just had some seconds to realize what is happening. We're glad he reached his rescue pod in time.

Since aliens are deadly enenmies for the zoners we would do anything to repeal them. The measures are depending on the situation though. Generally we are trying to support the order's primary fleet because they are trained to deal with the alien threat, but there may occur cases where we have to deal with such incidents on our own, which is absolutely no problem for us, since we're expecting the alien players to attack us (it's an important part of the rp), but we would also like to try to keep up ... it could be more fun if we'd arrange common events to prevent outbalancing.
