' Wrote:Hello there....
Alright, after some sleep the anger I felt tonight is gone but I'm still left with large disappointment.
But before I start, I want to say that until now, I only had enjoyable encounters with the RM, and I owe you some huge Kudos for that, you have some awesome RPers in your ranks!
Myself (AGS-L|Bastian.Brauer) and AGS-U|Matthias Zevronen were on our ships last nightand noticed that Admiral Malexa was in Hamburg. We set course there expecting some fun RP but when we arrived at NB Hamburg was empty. I then went to Darmstadt to change ships and when I came back the Roc of my friend was surrounded by one [RM] Wraith, 5 indy RMs (including one Cruiser) and an AA|- Mercenary.
So far so good we thought, lets RP with them a bit, then leave.
After interchanging some propaganda we tryed to leave but seconds after [RM]Fl.Heinrich.Kraus told the others to kill the enemies of the state.
Two seconds later Matthias was instakilled by the cruiser, I chose to retreat to Kreuzberg.
The horde followd me all the way through the Asteroid, then the Debris field to Kreuzberg, than staying around the base within 1.5k distance.
Thats the story, now the points that disappointed me.
As for this incident, I know the RM can't be held responsible for the action of indies, but you can at least try to hold them back. I don't care about if they choose to follow the RMs orders or not, but he hasn't even tried.
I don't mind being shot at, I'm RPing a revolutionary, but come on, 6 VHFs and a Cruiser vs. a single HF? Continue to chasing him all the way to the base just to get the blue message?
On top of that, the Jaho177 guy still had a Recruit ID, that also stayed uncommented by the RM pilot.
I always felt the RM had a sense of fairness, but that was just poor. If you want to play it that way, fine just tell us and we'll summon 6 friends as well next time we see a lone RM ship patrolling Stuttgart.
As the AA| ship there, i'm posting here just to chuck in an alternative opinion.
you were over-matched. you were retreating at the time of the engagement, but this was not clear (it really did look as if Matthias and you were spoiling up for a fight against a cruiser), and matthias was destroyed. You ran to Kreuzberg (kaiserslauten would have been a tad more appropriate rather than the junker base, but nvrmind). We chased, and you were very good at evasion, kudos to him (i even said this at the time). We didn't think that you would run to kreuzberg, we thought we were going to have a nice run around the asteroid field, where the cruiser wouldnt operate, and then a fight on some more even terms, but you chose to dock instead.
Matthias disappointed me. i understand that he was angry and upset for being engaged when he thought he was going to evade the gank fest, but he had several chances to accept the escort out of the system. nevertheless, i warned him several times in private that his behaviour wasn't acceptable, and nor was his language (i.e. shuffle out quietly, keep your anger to pm's, not system chat, //text should be for emergencies, like my cat has knocked coffee into my keyboard, not 'im all angry rar rar rar)
Nevertheless, the ship that destroyed matthias was an indy, the ships that pursued you, myself included, were on the whole only loosely connected with rheinland lawful forces. As such, RM feedback should not be the place that your anger is directed: the RM players were very much inRP, and behaved impeccably.
