Haha, that is funny Quozz, since when you see me and your in your battlestar you taunt me to collect the bounty on you.
BH have every reason to hunt you, you kill BH when you get the chance as do most corsair, so why not kill you?
My point there was "shooting without a word" scenario. I don't mind beeing chased by a fleet of BH's at all (especialy when they "forget" to take CD's with them on a hunt:P)
As for taunting - I'm a bloody Corsair, ... what do you expect me to do ? ask you for cup of tea and some biscuits on Freeport ?
And as for this particular bit "when you see me and your in your battlestar you taunt me" - dont make it only in a battlestar. I taunted BH's on every single ship i had (Starflea and Train included)
' Wrote:And about all BH haveing cap ships. Well, you have to have a big ship when everywhere you go you get attacked by every gang of pirates that sees you.
Actually it works the other way. It's a bit easier to notice huge battlecruiser then a small fighter isnt it? Also a battlecruiser is (in theory) a bigger threat. You'd probably have less hostile encounters in fighter/bomber.

That's pretty much "action -> reaction". If you're killing fighters in a battlecruiser expect to be hunted by something bigger then a fighter next time you'll stick your nose into Corsair space.
I have to agree on Quozz here. If members of the main factions see a bh capship (or several) they go all out, since they are fed up with all those ships, busting in to gamma every 4 hours trying to solo a fighter. If there are bh's flying bomber or fighter class ships, members of the main faction will go for a fair fight. Offcourse there might always be indies that butt in, if that's the case, the member of the main factions will order them to leave.
OP, you do realize that your Bounty Hunter battlecruiser, rather than being the critical defense against enemy hordes that you seem to think it is, is actually an incredible liability and, in fact, downright useless? As it's impossible to miss a capital ship of any size, piloting one comes down to a matter of simple statistics resulting in one of two cases. Case one - you've got more firepower to lay down than your enemies, which'll result in your enemies easily escaping your absurdly turgid capital ship fire. Case two - your enemies overpower you, in which case you're up a certain creek without a paddle.
All capital ships are fundamentally abjectly useless in nearly every situation, the only exception being single capital-ship-versus-capital-ship combat. You'd actually be able to do something about skewed odds in something smaller. Intuitive when one thinks about it, innit?
Anyway my opinion is that big Caps should keep their distance to small fighters unless they engage them.
They should even stay "at home" and come out only for the RP.
Our Wraths are getting mothballed, because we have every hour at least one emergency bomberstart, because a big boy thinks he can clean up Rheinland with it.

:lol:
Anyways, to tell you my sob story(;)), I have a couple of words for you:
Outcasts
Battleship
Destroyer
Destroyer
Destroyer
Destroyer
2 Gunboats
Sabre x 3
Falcata x 2
vs.
7vipers
All equaling a very short party with 2 dessie, 2 falcata, one gunboat, and 7 viper casualties:P
Now that is spam. By the way, it is true about caps being useless, unless they are in a swarm. Then their spray and pray can hit. But that isn't too useful either. It's the missile spam you just can't dodge.
So there you go capwhore friends. Lose the caps. Go fighters or bombers. If you need to, become a missile spammer(for god sakes don't, please don't..oh my god don't!)

Or get my bomber some supplyships waiting at a 4k distance.
Ma'am? are you kidding me? ANOTHER 70 Countermeasures? *[RM]Supply-0031 returns to base to get a new shipment of 5000 CM's*
Yeah! *jumps around the Gunboats* get your fighter out!
