This is going to be almost a rant, but Im rather confused about people who, when going on a raid or such, when fail, use the term ''This wasn't a equal fight''
I wish to have the communities opinion of this, since this is also going to be added to my social studies homework.
Basic examples are....I am in a gunboat and see that there is someone in Tau 37.
I head out and find that there is a Havoc MK II of all things, harvesting OC npcs.
I ask the pilot to drop them and leave, instead, he ignores me for some time, till he finally harvests all of the poor pilots...then he turns to me and fires a torpedo at me, that, of course, has no real effect on a GB shield.
After he fired about 10 of them at me, while i told him one more time to drop the pilots, i shot him down.
He could only say that ''it was a nice shot, yet its not fair if you bring a GB to bring down a bomber''
Well..this brings two questions.
Should i be called unfair if i gave him a chance to simply drop the pilots, instead of engaging him on sight.
Should i even be accused of being UNFAIR to go pick a fight with a BOMBER while in a GB of all vessels. (and i don't mean a missleboat)
Another off topic question is, if the Havoc bomber a civilian ship, since, something i saw i could buy in Liberty suddenly showing up near the Omicrons is quite strange.
Another thing to add is a Equal fight....There is no equal fights or wars would never end. There is always a loosing side and a winning side.
Heres a debate (fresh out of my homework) You see a GB entering the system. Hostile. Yelling about a raid. You group up with a dessie and go to punish the poor guy.
After hes killed, here comes the flames about unequal fights.
Fine...i understand getting killed by big ships with backup is not fun...yet heres the thing.
(in my point of view) You don't send a solder to kill an enemy solder....you send something bigger. like an APC or something. Why? What is better...to fend off the enemy with no losses or to send one or two solders of your own and have the chance that they might be killed, only having to send an APC later on when the enemy starts snickering.
Since im replying to other posts ive lost the general idea i wished to get out of this...i guess my question was Win over Fairness....or something like that...
Trial by forum maybe? Nah, not pointing fingers, simply i need your input about this so i can do my homework.
And please...don't make me tell my teacher ''I haven't done my homework since the discussion turned into a flame fest and had to be locked''
