Yup I felt like watching EVE battles. The fun was only when corsairs were attacking cuz ..holding right mouse button to fire on a base for 5 hours is not fun at all. Large battles are fun we need to organize more like these.

The admin decision on that one would be quite interesting, after all i allways thought it's a decision of "bigger threat".
We basically got two main enemies.
Rheinland Military and Corsairs.
However we would even team up with the Military to fight off Liberty or Corsairs.
Also, metagaming is really annoying.
But you cannot prevent those untagged, random-named cloaked RFP-Liners hunting me in my tagged Hessian Transport even in O49, O47, and - if i evade them by metagaming (playerlist and remembering their names)- even through O55 and O58.
Or those waiting cloaked outside of Diamant Station, right next to our Guard system, in the deeps of Hessian-occupied territory to screenshot the ones docking there.
Wasn't there recently a Freelancer, following IND in his cloaked vessel to report the screenshots to authorities in the comm channels?

Nato teamed up with afghan warlords and drug runners against the Taliban when they invaded.
Hessians fight the Rheinland government, not the Bretonian government

That's not unealistic. Real life burglars look for victimes looking like law abiding citizens, then put on the black ninja clothes to rob them. If you want to keep your base location secret, only approach it while cloaked, and only take the right flight vector after you cloaked. Thats what I do for my secret Order base in New Y.... uh... omicron 100.
Quote:I have seen indie Liberty Navy ships stock up on Nomad supplies in the Omicrons and hand over the supplies to a pirate base to make cloaking devices.
I wonder why they dont do it in alaska. Technically, we all do the same every time we finance our pirate or nomad or LN ship with our Krueger miner, or when we buy codenames with one ship to give it to the other.

And?
Quote:I have seen a traders with IDs that have nothing to do with a base bringing supplies to a base.
People tend to do that on all bases. Unless their rep keeps them from doing it. Hell, every singel one of us docks with hostile tradelanes and gates all the time. Maybe the base should take the iff of the ship that depoyed it, and always shoot enemies of that faction, just like npc bases do.
