I agree that the amount of Caps running about is beyond ridiculous. Although it's not just on the lawful side either, I get it from both perspectives. In my LSF I am usually part of a group and sometimes we heavily outnumber oponents, sometimes I am heavily outnumbered. It's very rarely I get to see an evenly matched encounter. More planning needs to be made between offical factions for wars to allow them to be equal.
I also play several unlawfuls and yes alot of the time you end up fighting against the odds, the way it should be to be honest and a good test of skill. We need more fighters on!
I launched a couple of days ago to be faced with a major Blood Dragon invasion of 2 Caps and 4 fighters/bombers. Me being me I attacked them in my Raven Claw as a massive Corsair fleet including several caps jumped into NY as well. A massive battle errupted, sadly if it had not been for several lawful independants coming to my aid I would have faced complete and total whorage of 1 fighter. Luckily several more LSF came on and the battle was won as the NovaPG and Corsairs inflicted damage on each other! I have to admit if it wasnt for those independants Liberty was facing being completley overrun, not a good situation.
Attacks should only be made in great numbers if their is a large number of defenders already on. Fleet battles should be more organised. I dont think the Bounty Hunters should have these massive warships in house space. They were built for their war with the Order and defense against the Nomads in their expansion into the Omicrons in search of criminals.
I wish I knew the soulution, ban all independants from Liberty? As if playing an LSF is not enough of a PVP fest at most times we would then have to kick all the other guys out. I dont think we have the resources to kick them all out and I'm sure I dont have the energy :DIt's bad enough with the merc ban, the influx of Xenos, Rogues, Hackers, Corsairs and Outcasts and the defense of Z21. LSF is one overworked faction under almost perpetual attack. I rarely see SA on these days :(Sometimes these independant guys playing Navy/LSF/Police are very appreciated.
