Well, seeing as it's toned down a bit I guess I will try to help clear things up.
When someone is fleeing, quite often they are chased quite a long way, until they are deemed untouchable or have just drawn everyone too far away from the main fight if the group separates. Before the BS opened up, you were with no shields and low health. As for me I was shooting you still while doing damage before I noticed I was getting ripped apart by Solaris's. Not only that, none of us expected that the Battleship would rip us up when we got near. A lot of us were ignoring non group chat based around the fact of the RP going around, so we could focus on the fight and not get distracted, so even the verbal warning didnt help, not that it should have occurred in the first place.
Though as expressed earlier, the battleship was meant to observe, not batter things to dust. As reference to me has come up, a rule of thumb in Battleships is to basically be patient, the bigger you are, the less you do. I expect to do far less shooting in my Battleship than any other ship, along with my Destroyers which I would also expect to not shoot often. I use that generally, but especially in events. Indies take second class in events, they are ran by the official factions involved. Indies are there as a guest, it's a privilege to attend the event as an indie, not a right. There is no reasoning required to tell Indies to shove off.
