Liberty Navy [LN] Feedback Thread

[Zeltak]

Actually not really. There was me in a Barghest, Jameson in a Bayonet, a Gunboat and a Gunship. The second Barghest was as you arrived still far away, incoming to support us. And as you saw, we four were split up. It was only me and the Gunship against SLICE, the others were fighting against Mercenaries and other Fighters and Bombers. Then all of a sudden you four arrive and immediatly started shooting at me, as far as I know the Gunship wasnt under fire until I died.

Sorry for the late post.

Well the point I was trying to make was that in total (before we arrived), the sides were pretty even, (3 Navy Fighters and SLICE, right? Or did I miss someone?). But there must be a reason why they called us all the way from Colorado system to help them. So the initial thought we had was that they needed help and fast. And so once we reached the scene, I only saw two enemies, you and the Gunboat. I remember saying that they were only two and asked why they bothered to call us for help, then the [LN] LABC (Who by the way never participated in the battle) stated that the enemy team had been split in two.

So what conclusions did I draw?

Well first conclusion is that the threat is still active.
Second conclusion was that they still needed our help.
Third conclusion was that the enemy was split and I decided it would be a wise move to target the weakest link, get our Navy Ally (SLICE) to safety and then proceed to help the others.

Surely you can understand in the heat of the battle and the conclusions that I took held at least some shred of logic. Surely you can?

But perhaps you are right, perhaps it was an excessive use of force. It may have been like that in your perspective because you were the one getting four other Navy pilots at you, but would it seem less like a "gank" if we stumbled first onto the main Pirate Group?

Also, I admit that I assumed the enemy was alot more than the numbers you had given me, so if anyone is to be blamed it's me.

However, I do like to say one more thing. I understand you are perhaps frustrated and some of that frustration might have been still left when you wrote that post, so I do take that into account. But I feel it is very wrong of you to say that [LN] recently just ganks. Only this week have I in four separate occasions been personally responsible to stop an incoming gank made by lawfuls by just being present in a battle and ordering numerous Capital Ships as well as excessive use of force to be aborted. I'm not trying to brag just defend against your accusation. On my unlawful characters such as Red on Scanners, I have personally witnessed several [LN] members actively stopping people from jumping 6v1 or more on me.

In fact I daresay, we are almost the only lawful group in Liberty who is very active in keeping up with the spirit of sportsmanship and fairplay. Yes, sometimes we also do mistakes, surely there have been instances when the LR faction have been in the wrong, but do we judge them out of one or two bad incidents? Do we make general assumptions out of those few incidents and disregard everything else they have done? Now as we are talking about fairplay here, that to me sounds more like unfairplay, aye?
