' Wrote:Actually Prysin I think the Gamma raids are the best thing that happened to the Corsairs. Originally they were a response to what was going to be yet another FP9 gangrape - it ended up turning on the Corsairs which I found rather poetic. Later on it decimated the bored Legates/Osiris cruising around anywhere south of Gamma where they would have exactly no resistance. Now they only cruise around at 3 am when all Hessians are asleep, and we actually see Corsairs in fighters and bombers more often now that their main enemy has a way to deal with capship swarm without having to outnumber them 2:1.
The Jormungand isn't a n00bcap, but that doesn't mean it can't take a Legate on and win with proper support (as battleships are expected to be used). It can definitely rush an Osiris and win one on one as is expected from a medium battleship. The forward gun is also a fun twist.
Also, nothing Corsair got nerfed except the Osiris which was massively OP anyway. So stop spreading lies.
knowing your affiliation with the corsair faction as a whole, i find your entire statement full of ignorance.
As if the FP9 incident was the trigger. The real trigger was the bounties placed on us by various factions hiring mercs. Reaching several millions for a mere gunboat or cruiser. The reavers made big bucks on this, then Rorries came. And while rorries and reavers are a decent, although just as annoying as anyone else, buncha lads, they still managed to bring with them the bandwagon of "haters". Said "haters" are justa buncha idiots who induldge in assaulting less experienced players with superior weaponry and ships. Thus the little bit of status quo that was there in the beginning was lost, leading to the further demise of corsairs ability to strike back.
Couple that with the 4 hour "you cant log your char at all, not even in another system" rule and youve efficiently killed any way of just leaving the system and play in another. Since most players do not find it neccesary or even enjoyable to fly several different chars within one faction, one can only assume that once you take someone down, they are barred for 4 hours regardless what system they were in.
If you want to glorify someone, or something. Atleast have the balls to admit that REAVERS DID IT BEFORE IT WAS COOL.
Hessians, lone mercs, FACE... their all just riding a bandwagon that was set in motion by what Reavers did in the past.
