Capital Ship Realism

[Mr.Fabulous]

You forgot one difference between the two encounters. A Wolfhound has a chance of killing a Patriot.

Meh... irrelevant... Not to be rude, but you can't seriously be thinking of that fact alone that you ignored the awesome point Jinx made in his post, can you? Unless it's a joke, then I guess it would be decently funny.:laugh:

But kidding aside, you're right, Jinx. In all my time playing Disco, it has been rare when a discussion has a base-line to base all of its talk.

You, my friend, went a HUGE step towards that base-line.

I for one, think that the details are kinda right. Both sides, the Cruiser and the Wolfhound, don't seem to be at total fault.

I for one think that if we compared the incident to RL, the Cruiser MAY hold back a little in fighting the pirate to save on resources, but the outcome is still trying to destroy said pirate. No bad logic to think you shouldn't RP it that you'd want the pirate to be turned to scrap rather than just let the pirate go the other way. I know in other MMORPG games like EVE, compared to our "balanced" system of justice we are very "lax" in our enforcement. Instead, other games would simply dispose of the enemy like how an NPC Cruiser would treat the same said pirate.

For the pirates side, think of it like the time in Star Wars when the Millenium Falcon met the Star Destroyer-class vessel, and had to be smart in trying to FLEE away... It wouldn't be realistic if the LIGHT FIGHTER could destroy said cruiser, even with AI-like dog-fighting skills. If the Wolfhound couldn't escape, no harm should be done: you can always start to rebuild when you hit that "respawn" button, and you can still RP that your escape pod totally escaped.

That said, in that scenario there isn't any problem RP-or-PVP-wise about the pirate being destroyed or needing to flee... He could still decide to come back with a Bomber on his next encounter.

Just a case of bad luck.
