It really doesn't work. At all.
' Wrote:As for the numbers on the corsair side, I for one felt it was justified since I was 95% positive that when we got there, we'd be ganked by multiple capital ships and a swarm of fighters, and I'm sure that others in group with me held the same sentiment, that if you want to have a fighting chance in Bretonia, you need to bring large enough numbers to overwhelm the dreaded "BAF powergank."
We wanted a fighting chance as well, one that didn't involve getting swarmed by 3 battleships, a mob of fighters and bombers, and an equally large mob of gunboats.
I'm sorry if this wasn't what was going to happen - but do realize that this is what people typically assume will happen when they fly to Bretonia.
This is truth. As a Molly, i get about ten to fifteen minutes to have fun before the dreaded BAF/indie powergank shows up and all the miners run to the Essex. Often they arrive in the middle of a heated battle against a cap8 hege or a escort fighter.
And since the Mollies never have the numbers to combat this, well, we just have to run around it. It's exhilirating when you win, but since you mostly lose, it sucks.
Also, i expect all [MR] Tagged ships to follow this. Not that it's really an issue, there's three of us, and our e-peens are so big we dont need to run. :cool:
