Corsair - Zoner

[Rodriguez]

and total oorp alliances maked by pure pvp whores?
today i saw hessians caps sayng comrades to rheinland inteligence in omega 41 ... paranoia?? pvp whoring much ?????

Pvpwhoring? If you don't want pvp, keep your sairs docked in trafalgar and go pirating, keep them docked in O49. All the corsairs fighting in gamma have the same dessire for pvp than the people going to gamma.

I remember something saying "rules > RP". The allying between hostile factions shouldn't be allowed, for that matter, unless something got changed regarding that.

I agree on that. Hunters and Hessians raiding together gamma was a huge fail.

But now that some zoners got involved with those attacks, I'd not call it OORP that easyly, hessians helping those zoners against corsairs is fair to me. Hunters helping zoners against corsairs is fair. GMG helping zoners against corsairs is fair to me. Outcasts? Well, if corsairs go to alpha, I don't see why Outcasts can't go to gamma. Order? Well, that's a bit off for me.



On a completely related subject, leaving the zoner-sair conflict aside, people raid gamma, because sairs are there most of time, and I don't blame them, you wanna hang around gamma, it's fine, but it's also obvious that people will go to attack you. If corsairs were in omegas more often, the fights would happen in the omegas, if corsairs were in sigmas more often, the battles would happen in the sigmas. Same with Bretonia, or Rheinland. I'm not trying to blame the sairs, it's just an advice of how to avoid gamma being raided 24/7.

Another way to don't get it raided this bad is, and you may think I'm joking, not allowing capital ships to hunt snub crafts. Gamma raids weren't so bad not so long ago (Although it's a cyclic thing, and activity goes up and down there), but what happened when people went with snubs? Caps showed up, what did that people do? They got caps to help them, and so, the wheel of madness started.

It goes back to my first advice, taking the fight somewhere else, when people undock with those caps and start shooting the snubs, those caps can't take the battle somewhere else, it's quite the opposite, more people will come to shoot those caps. Which is why cap control is really important, to don't drag more enemies to you. I understand sometimes it's impossible to control caps, and, then is when I'd go a bit careless for the safety of those caps, and I'd not (once again, this is just my opinion) save those caps from getting chewed.

Some people will disagree with me and say "But we must defend gamma", but why? Just because a bunch of players decided to go there? Because you fell for the "HAR HAR HAR GAMMA IS OUR!"? Go to omegas, go to sigmas, go to bretonia, hell go to Rheinland. That's how you will get your enemies out of gamma.

I do not know what zoners would do in such scenarios, but believe me, mercenaries will follow corsairs wherever they go, even if that means following corsairs to middle of dauphine.

Just my humble opinion.
