The term ''Fair and Equal fight'' - Tenacity - 10-09-2008
man I love fighting huntresses... I bet I could take one out with my firefly if I ever encountered one that was aggressive, but most are owned by corsairs who I have no issues with =P
I'm absolutely positive that any ship smaller than a cruiser which has enough firepower to even slowly reduce the shields of the huntress can easily beat it. 180 degree blind spots ftw? ftl? depends on what side you're on.

Try taking out an outcast destroyer or rheinland cruiser with a kusari gunboat that's loaded with only a forward gun, 2 solaris turrets, and 2 kusari missile turrets =P
Yes, I've taken on both solo and won.

Nah, i see that the said guy piloting his huntress is now trading on his alt...soon enough ill be followed around by one more Osiris Heh...anyway, a bit off topic again.
So, the question is Fair fight over rationality...

You know...
I once fought a Missile Gunboat, and three Fighters in a Camera Ship...
Wanna know what happened?
Using the missiles I just rammed the fighters and the Gunboat killed them all.
Is that fair being killed by a ship with no guns?:D

there is a difference between a war and the codes of honour associated with the concept of duelling.
it is true that, the raw essence of war is to win and ther eis no concept of unfairness or fairness.
but in later ages, as man came to appreciate the need to value true skills in combat, a code ofhonour did evolve in whcih men did pay respect to the individual skills each had developed. hence in France we saw the Musketeers, and in later years the gentleman's duelling code. Especially after the Dark Ages, mankind did come to appreictae that wars were ugly, but need not be dishonourable and leave a bad taste behind it if at all possible.
So for example: the most skilled fencer in the world could be most pitiably slain by a archer 30 yards distant. But it is the archers name which shall be forever tainted by his choice of way to defeat his opponent.
What is a combatant int he position of an archer to do? Sometimes, they call for a time and place for mutual combat and forewarned choice of weapons. Other times, the archer would merely cripple the fencer and then give him the chance to retreat alive, preserving their honour.
Dn't forget the code of honour, in times of hardship, it is all that divides men from animals.

Right now i have three osiris hunting me and anothe two i have encountered as such heh heh, that was fun.
Sadly only two of them had some good rp to them.

Dunno, ten, you were the one shooting my buttocks off back in NY xD yeah, my bad for engaging cruise and leaving jim on his own.
