Why Alpha is hardly invaded.

[Shagohad]

Just to have my say,

Well done to the Indies on driving everyone out of alpha... but please please stay there with your fleet of Battleships and Drednoughts.

I personally think its a bit OORP to go raid a small area in a system with a couple of battleships. I mean they are the biggest ships in the fleet, NPC factions have 1 per system and maybe one in a cap patrol somewhere, there isnt a tag team of KNF Battleships that pounce on lone fighters in Leeds... Likewise in the Liberty Rhineland war. Think of the fuel costs, crew costs, ammo costs, food, water, Cardamine (For OC caps) costs. It's insane to think they would just go out for a little patrol. You would send a couple of sabres, maybe a gunboat at most.

I'm not trying to be anti cap or anything here. Just use some bloody common sense.

That's why I bring two dessies, a few gunboats, and a lot of fighter-bombers. I know how to conduct raids. That's why I spear-head them against Gamma.
