I've experienced this on both sides. As a corsair in Dublin and as a bounty hunter in Leeds. In Dublin it went pretty bad and it wasn't the first time: random BMM runs to base, stays there, they get 3+ gunboats and a repair ship and then they gank the **** out of our 3 fighters. Pretty fun, eh? Well not really. After that event I never set foot in Dublin as a pirate and since other decent pirates avoid it as well, I don't really bug in with my hunter there as well. Unless there is something worth killing for a good sum of credits.
The other recent issue was with a few Hogosha indies. I got on their lane, the one between Strokes and their battleship near the gate. Lane went "DISRUPT!" and I poped out. I saw 1 fighter and a bomber there, all fine. Some little RP and suddenly a 3rd one probably logs into space right next to us and they engage. Now I'm np with that, they had the numbers and I played like a cool guy, believing I can take them on. So I pulled my secret ace - called 2 IBA) or whatever they're called to even out the fight. And suddenly both fighters died. So what was next? The bomber ran to the Kusari Battleship and hugged it. We even called a bomber to try and disable the turrets, but... it failed since they restarted every 1 minute. So we were stuck there in the end we said "**** it" and left. So he won by being a bad sportsman. Woohoo.
So yeah, I'd like to see all that change. It's a pain in the rear and it ruins my fun.
P.S. I'd rather have them dock and ask me if they can stay in the system after 5 minutes instead of camping the base for 30 until I give up...
