' Wrote:Flt.Admiral_Mira, the one flying the advanced battlestar, talked to the keepers before hand (from what I heard) and told them that if they'd wait a few minutes, she'd switch to a fighter to make the fight more 'fair'. They refused.
At the time of the initial fight, the only people around were myself (Zoner destroyer), Mira (in the battleship), and another independent order pilot in a talarca cruiser.
They still managed to destroy mira, myself, and a couple others before they lost the battle. We may have outnumbered and outgunned them, but those nomad fighters/bombers are nearly impossible to hit if you ask me (though my aim sucks), and all of them were exceptional pilots.
Not only that, but of the people that joined in later - two of them were AGAINST us (the bounty hunter attacked both sides, and the outcast went after order/corsair ships and ignored the nomads).
It wasnt quite as lopsided a battle as it seems at first glance.
1. they didnt even respond when i sent a message to keepers
2. I wasnt destroyed i fled (but almost destroyed)

next time only fighters will be included...even me:D
GF everyone
We don't mind.. (much)... Cause it is expected Nomads are welcome by big fleet... although yeah maybe 2 cruisers too big... but we got use to that....
Actually Keepers are active.. but only in last week we managed to get ppl online at the same time... And fighter fight with Keepers is good idea...
Some RoS including me started our server to test All faction's ship... so we took 2 Assassins and 2 Titans equipped with RP loadouts and Titans owned Assassins completely... now how we did it.. hehe... That is secret..
Yuri, our leader is busy busy man and he don't have much time .. but most of us like to fly when he is online.. cause Skype atmosphere is amazing with him in convo... so probably when he will be available we well come !
Next time we should agree that someone is filming while we fight .. that would be amazing...
Still, I wouldnt say the keepers were as outgunned as it would seem. I think they destroyed the talarca cruiser, and they got mira's battleship to flee... and me...
well, After the nomad gunboat was down, I only managed to hit one bomber with a couple of shots. I'm great at fighting capships, but i'm nothing more than a giant target for fighters and bombers.
It'll likely be the same once i switch to the zoner gunboat in 4.85. From what I hear it will only have 4 turret hardpoints, so I'll probably be using something like 2 razors / 2 infernos and focus entirely on anti-capship combat, and just run from fighters, heh.
EDIT:
I could always petition for a camera ship / nuetral character to film the fights, but unfortunately that leaves me unable to participate =P
The caps got killed very fast. However the Keeper Assassin didn't live long either (I'm Bs|Simmons, and I got the kill on Tiamat with three more or less luck Mini razor hits *shows off*).
Was a very nice fight, though I got killed by something which I suppose to be a NPC mine >.<
