The Tau Event....

[Virus]

Whoever was pretending to be commander when I was online wasn't doing an amazing job. Consistently telling people to fall back and regroup isn't going to be any fun. Flying into a battle, getting annihilated first, then trying to command from two systems away... Not the best strategy either.

So I started my own little group with some buddies and went out killing on our own. We did quite well.

Ilo Takato needs some practice... Also needs to fly a smaller ship, dock closer, and/or keep at range better to prevent from dying too fast so you can actually be helpful when you jump to Orkney. Orders can be more important than actually firing on someone.

Also: If you have 3 battleships on the other side of a jump gate, don't jump one battleship, fight until it dies, then jump another. Jump both as close together as possible and open fire simultaneously. Otherwise you just waste two perfectly good battleships. Watched this happen in my destroyer...

Let's see, what else...

Be a bit more forceful when giving orders so people actually see them (CAPSLOCK is actually useful sometimes). And call targets in big letters to let everyone know who to shoot at. "Fighters on the bombers and fighters! Bombers and capitals, target PlayerX!" Specifics.


Oh yeah. GRN side was even worse when I was online, so I don't mean to insult.
