Greetings my brethren. In light of recent events with the Rheinlanders, I am directly countermanding the Grand Admiral's orders to use the "tactical withdrawal" strategy. Unless you are know you are going to be destroyed, do not run from combat to re-engage later.
If you do withdraw from combat with any vessel, do not engage them again for at least half an hour.
ooc: because "shield running" is extremely annoying and pisses off people, i do not want our ships using this without good reason. it is unfair, and gives us a reputation that we do not deserve or want. however go ahead and use bots and bats, especially if they give you an edge.
ic:
Any Rheinland ships you encounter should be treated with suspicion and hostility. No need to go out of your way to engage them, but treat with caution if nearby.
We do not need any unnecesary forays into Rheinland space unless absolutely necessary, these people have extremely well equipped ships and are highly skilled pilots. Our ships will be needlessly endangered in that situation.
The SCRA will bide its time with these Rheinlanders until we have greater strength.
The Dreadnought will be withdrawing from Rheinland. It is currently cloaked at an undisclosed location within Rheinland borders, and will be moving out to the omegas in the next few days.
McIntosh, will you be requiring futher funding for any armaments projecs at this time? Because I would like to start pooling our credits.
