Amazing isn't it? The leader of the UN said this though a PM and he wonder why my numbers are now wearing thin in my faction or why my people won't log for the UN. Your faction is not entirely to blame but the methods the UN are using are contributing to it; so it feels right that the statement I made is starting to feel invalid.
The scene started at Mannheim where generally new member to both Disco and my Faction is standing alone getting his ass sliced off with garnish as a seasoning insult by 5 other UN fighters. He was only there for a around a minute after arrival before he's met with a depleted shield and half a hull with almost no time to react in the middle of typing (Something that can't be observed but is scary to a new player.) I was the only other one to arrive within around the first 10 minutes means that I had 24 fighter guns diverted onto my ship to be met with almost an instantaneous destruction. I think you have to get the point that the BDM is in no way capable as a player-base to take on 5 UN ships with 2 of their fighters. (let alone the corsair gunboat that arrived later even if Lawful reinforcements arrived.)

I'm not impressed at all, not even a single bit. And what got me even more was when we had Auxesia Allies en-route trying to reinforce our already crap-smeared situation. But then, one of them gets this message from a UN combatant.
"Started Equal"
Those two words couldn't be further from the truth. Use this information how you please, but if you keep this up, there won't be any favorable outcomes on terms of your faction representation.

- We will fight together if we are engaged by a smaller group of ships running in. We will offer equal-odds fights if we can during said situation, but it's difficult to. We need to ensure that duels arn't attempts to peel ships away, and need to be in visual range so we can co-ordinate.
- We will balance for skill. People like Yber or Wesker, because they can take down 2 or 3 or more other snubs by themselves will end up being first snub target - that's not because we know who is behind the ships, but because we adjust our target calls dynamically during fights in accordance to who is dishing out (and taking) the most damage. However, we try to keep the number of people down firing at them to reasonable levels, but we won't put a noob into a 1v1 with a PVP pro, and on our side will try for our noobs to engage their noobs if we can situationally gauge skill, in the hope that they both learn something and have a fun PVP experience. This can be tough to do whilst ingame.
- We do ourselves engage superior numbers of ships and inferior numbers of ships.
- "Ganking" is a specific form of bad play involving constantly bringing in more ships to stack the deck - whilst we have done that before, just as everyone has done that before, it's only fairly rare when we outright "gank". Ganking is effectively ambushing a larger number of ships with a smaller number of ships beyond levels of skill and regen balance to troll/100% ensure the blue, or deliberately attacking a smaller group of ships before their nearby friends can arrive when they can only be reasonably expected to field the same number of ships as you - not a generic term for a large number of ships being in combat with a smaller group of ships.
There you have it. This is how we try to play. In the BDM v UN engagement further up this thread, we screwed up the balance.
I just read your previous post and if this is what you say you're faction is supposed to represent. Then you're obviously trying to pull the wool over our eyes unsuccessfully.
What you've done here today goes against almost everything that is stated in this quote by you.
