I am not adverse to combat. I am not even adverse to spontaneous combat.
However tonight was a joke.
We were quite publicly going to Liberty. Your Vice Admiral, and BDM gunboat, knew that. And called for en-mass reinforcements. We RP'd a bit, but simply we were not going to stand around and simply *wait* for you guys to shoot us down and backstab us.
And we got utterly utterly ganked on.
My feedback here has a point -
First:
We were not targeting the RM. While I get that you guys wanted blue msgs, and I get that you guys need activity - why not simply speak to me or Joey about setting up an event? We were two fighters and two bombers going to RP a bit and have fun in Liberty. The two fighters were Bjorn (Who hasn't flown in 3 years) and Del! That was utterly blown out of proportion when the gunboat opened up on us, then the 4 fighters going "For Rheinland!".
Second:
Failing to control your indies. A massive problem with the RNC. Those guys jump in, fire off cruiser missiles and destroy every fighter in the area. If the zoomed out turret steering gunboat, with en-mass fighters weren't enough - In comes Gepard and his goons.
Guys - Poor form. Very poor form. And I get "So what?" in PM.
Let me tell you "what".
We have little to no interest now to actually do anything at all in Rheinland.
Yesterday we fought 3v3 with the RoS and got smashed in. Nothing we could do there, a mixture of lag and lack of skill meant we lost - but at least it was a fun fair fight.
Today? We were simply looking for some good RP and an enjoyable suicidal fight in New York. Cheers. Poor form.
