I don't actually remember the name of the ship, but that might have been me you're referring to ...I was a lonely GS & was yapping from out of range for a spell, telling the guy to leave Gaia's orbit. after a while of not doing as my character requested, I started to engage.
I knew I was completely outclassed & was in a no-win situation, but after the shooting started, the craft eventually moved out of the planets orbit, which was really the only goal. It was not to pirate or to try & get a kill.
After my character did all he could, he limped back home to lick his wounds.
The thing people need to understand is that the NLH are not pirates, & therefore, do not pirate
We do what we can to disrupt enemy trading in the area, taking & destroying cargo to make Gaian space as unattactive to traders as possible, as well as employing guerrilla hit & run tactics against our traditional enemies.
as far as getting within one K, yeah, I did simply so that my guns could reach the dude sitting right next to the S**tland. & if it was indeed me you're talking about, the shetland was firing on me
I have a horrible typing speed & if I get shot by npcs ect while trying to type RP during an engagement, that is just something I simply have to deal with.
::Edit- also, just to let you know: the NLH are guard tagged & ID'ed, therefore, every NLH is extremely hostile to OSC. If you saw a Gaian that was not being fired upon while being well within range, you were either A: not dealing with an NLH member & dealing with a regular gaian with rep issues instead...Or B: you were standing between the shetland & the player, preventing the shetland from being able to fire::
