well, when clover headed to gamma yesterday, it was full with a bunch of outcasts, AW and others, quite a surprise, cause i called for backup on a trader that i had chased for several system ( trader ID ) who headed to tripoli. ok, clover is gaian - so i wasn t really up to pirate him anymore in gamma - i didn t feel like it anyway anymore, i more felt like shooting him down.
i called - and then saw like 4 reds inc. - not what i expect in gamma - where it should all be green. turns out it was a bunch of those outcasts and AWs. i think i saw some fighters, too - 1 or 2. but the majority was destroyers, gunboats and at least one dreadnaught. the destroyer chased me into the corsair guard system ( i really don t like to fly there without permission - but first, no corsair was there to ask, and second, i had a destroyer on my six - which made quick decissions necessary )
what irritates me is. the destroyer was asked to take me down. ... makes me think.. a destroyer moves out to take a single fighter down? - inefficient and ... well, quite stuipid. thats when the fighter escort would come in hande. a destroyer has no chance against a fighter that is jsut focussed on "getting away".
well, the destroyer gave up after chasing around in omicron 84 a while. surprise. - and yes, it WAS a bit overwhelming to see so many big ships around crete. as if they were about to invade that planet.
i m all for moving cap ships to guard systems - but that won t fix the problem, i m good to guard systems on clover that i never worked on being good to - i just killed a few BHGs and i can fly basicly everywhere. licence for cap ships? - ok, add another equipment slot, and sell a licence ( maybe admin approved - present him a good story ) or otherwise - but if its admin approved... hell, our admins will have quite some work to verify all the stories - and i would guess they have a real life, too?
oops - gotto go - RL caling - can t finish that post - never mind .....
