A Ravenclaw can take out a bomber in one run, it has enough firepower to. Plus Xizer had been attacking him first then Dab. So he might have already been slightly damaged or at least slightly reduced shields.
OK ppl... I sacrificed my ship because of you!!!!!!!!!!! :angry: (more of annoyed then angry) :lol: actually, I couldn't care less, as it's just a story :)
FACTS and ACCUSATIONS:
Seriously, EVERYONE did some powerplay to one extent (more or less). The one with the Huegenot and two fighters destroying (more or less) the whole fleet was the extreme, I didn't say anything 'cause we still had ships in reserve to destroy the Huegenot. The second was Dab (in a way maybe) with the skill and similar, not wanting to loose a single ship and so on... sharing the second place with Kane's fleets, the sigma-17->Unknown non-existent jump and the cloaked comandos. The rest of us may share the third place.
DEFENSE: Cloaks were used by AW in THREE places, the Leviathan, the hidden research station and the Ghost Ship Battlegroup including the Ampoliros (by Alpha and me, the 2 battleships really exist in the game as our chars). The rest of AW battleships mentioned really exist in-game. No one mentioned BSA Maidenhead, BSA Harborg, BSO Wisconsin, another BSA (Loose's char) and some more I can't remember their names atm. So pulling ships out of thin air - this is it, he never mentioned a single non-existent ship. (this is in Dab's defence and part I of Alpha's)
Alpha's defence (part II): You can't accuse Alpha for using Star Trek tricks, since you used Star Wars, Sith ideas. As for the one-ship-against-an-entire-fleet - If I remember, The Enterprise (Star Trek, not Korrd's) took down fleets on it's own or the Defiant the same (an even smaller ship), IF we get into that discussion...
*don't jump on me 'cause I used jedi ideas - read the last paragraf again*
Dab & Alpha BASHING:
Dab, I think it's good you gave up on that post after Alpha's, it would have been waaay too much! Really, you could keep it lower. D*mn it, it's just a story, I'm not really a suicidal maniac who likes to PvP in the New York mine field. For god's sakes, I sacrificed my own ship and more than half the crew in the story to SAVE the Chancellor (and Kane had to rise from the dead - Alpha - big mistake, I took the Chancellor only) and I planned to go AWOL if I didn't liked the orders (d*amn I started thinking like I'm really Nightfall :crazy: ). I wanted to give it a twist no one expected but Alpha beat me to it, I just played along and waited to see where I can get in. Did I say anything? NO! I even PMd Alpha to continue his twist of the story, even at the price of me having nothing to say anymore.
Anyone remember what we said about respecting your opponent not so long ago?
*remembers the last war on the server*
After all, it's a story people, I don't see the reason for this thread anyway, it's fiction and let it go - if you can't compete with someone's imagination... don't start bashing on him/her because of that.
uh, this is a long one...
To finish - Angel, I think you should have killed everybody in the room there! :lol: They're taking it too seriously!!!
*actually, I seen the story ending by everyone dying since Kane took the fleet through AW space :lol: *

I'm sorry to interrupt, but I edited my post to rid of any extremes...my I wanted just to deal a good chunk of damage to the enemy in the name of Rheinland. My post was intended originally to damage severely one battleship and one starfighter carrier to the point where they were inoperable, but my imagination indeed went overboard to where I wanted to get everything killed. Mind you, my Bampei squad is a Talon and a Raven Claw, and I've tested out that numerous pirate ships usually fall from their power in combination.
>.< I admit, I did get overboard, but if you want me to re-edit the post I made to make it less of a boast post, then I'd be more than happy to.
Wolf: now do you see why I asked for it to be deleted?
The main purpose of my post was to try and get people to agree on what tech is owned or used by which factions so we don't get all this power-gaming stuff in RP anymore.
As per normal for a post that tried to get people to talk sensibly or agree to anything it's turned into a thread for arguements.
So once again, could someone please delete this thread before it ends up in the flood forum. Thank you.
Marauder, Sadly I totally agree. Your point got lost in the flood of semi-techy excuses
for who did what to who and why, and how they got away with it.
It was a story guys ... Just let Angel finish it now, Its her thread, hijacked by the AW
unfortunately, but still hers.

If you look at one of my posts near the bottum I put in () that she needed to post because I was going off the top of my head trying to keep it going.
Ok now, I was not involved in Angels thread in any way, shape or form so excuse me when I say this but;
Why must we be forced to read such bickering and mud-slinging here? For those of us who've never posted in the RP threads, why would we want to start now? People are being called stupid and their ideas are being shot to hell (some are outlandish, I agree). Yes, good points have been made but can we just stop this. I don't believe that ANYONE should be called stupid, cocky maybe, but stupid? Come on now.
How does this look to new people coming on here? Would they feel comfortable posting on forums such as this? I think not.
Go ahead, start flaming me.... I just couldn't sit back and read this anymore without getting this off my chest. This is off topic but .... ah nevermind
Cay you couldn't be more right. My original point was that I won't get involved in the
RP stories with AW now as the Testosterone flying about makes them unreadable.
Then we just end up like this again.
So lets drop .. Cloaking .. Never gonna happen in Freelancer .. EVER.
Star Trek .. This is Freelancer.
Star Wars .. This is Freelancer.
And Dab .. AW is never going to rule Sirius. Not on the server or in RP .. Get over it.
Hoodlum :P

ok i will admit that me and Kane did take it a bit too far but this was my first major RP storymaking attempt. I added my little twist because it was something no one expected and i was going to follow with a little bit of my characters history. I was one post away when Kane blew my idea apart. Fair enough he had a right to add his little twists as well however it angered me that he hadnt read my earlier post correctly and his post was from the stories point of view almost impossible. That being said i added my next post and overcame the problem. For a little while after that it was me and Kane countering each other posts after another then I went to my bed for the night. Today i get in from school to see the story has progressed quite a bit (btw Angel i like what you have done to the Chancellor :) )
But again when Kane has posted he hasnt read my earlier posts properly again.
Off the top of my head here are the problems i have with Kanes post (if i have made a mistake or missed something plz correct me)
1) despite emphasizing how hidden the base was and the fact it was cloaked and how heavily guarded the med lab was outside the door Black Legion troops still manage to board the station and undetected get through the station and past security at the front door and inside to help Kreig "rescue the chancellor" highly unlikely as i said about 15 people actually knew where it was.
2) when i beam the commandos into space (I cant be bothered arguing about it but i wont use beam tech again if it annoys people) Kane says i beam my own doctor into space, unlikely that my character would do something that stupid but there is such a thing as human error i suppose.
3) In a post I command the base commander to destroy any transport that comes near but Kane says that a transport full of reinland marine breach the corridor by smashing through the wall.
IMO the story was coming along brillliantly but when i add my little twist Kane comes in and without properly reading my post starts adding things that are a little far-fetched and it soon becomes me and him continuously coming up with ways to out do the other. I might be taking this too far but it kind of ruined the story a little (but it's still good)
PSKane if i am wrong about you not reading the post correctly i appologise but it was the impression I got.
