Quote:As the AA| ship there, i'm posting here just to chuck in an alternative opinion.
you were over-matched. you were retreating at the time of the engagement, but this was not clear (it really did look as if Matthias and you were spoiling up for a fight against a cruiser), and matthias was destroyed. You ran to Kreuzberg (kaiserslauten would have been a tad more appropriate rather than the junker base, but nvrmind). We chased, and you were very good at evasion, kudos to him (i even said this at the time). We didn't think that you would run to kreuzberg, we thought we were going to have a nice run around the asteroid field, where the cruiser wouldnt operate, and then a fight on some more even terms, but you chose to dock instead.
Matthias disappointed me. i understand that he was angry and upset for being engaged when he thought he was going to evade the gank fest, but he had several chances to accept the escort out of the system. nevertheless, i warned him several times in private that his behaviour wasn't acceptable, and nor was his language (i.e. shuffle out quietly, keep your anger to pm's, not system chat, //text should be for emergencies, like my cat has knocked coffee into my keyboard, not 'im all angry rar rar rar)
Nevertheless, the ship that destroyed matthias was an indy, the ships that pursued you, myself included, were on the whole only loosely connected with rheinland lawful forces. As such, RM feedback should not be the place that your anger is directed: the RM players were very much inRP, and behaved impeccably.
but, hey, it's a game. we can die.
Matthias Zevonen here.
First for this incident, the Flieger did not had the authority that the ussual RM uses to make things even, or when he has it in control.
I have the most respect for the RM, has for it stands here on Disco. I was RM myself and it was one of the few places where one can learn how to true RP and enjoy it. But i moved on, joined the AU and now we are AGS. All the time i met RM it used to be a good experience, of RP and fun.
Now, yesterday was different. 6 and a cruiser vs 1, than my kamarade showed 6 and a cruiser vs 2. Never the flieger said anything to make it even, neither the indies, neither the merc. When we said we were going to have pretzels and bier and were about to leave, "kill him" ----------dead---------. I undoced from kreuzberg, and saw 6 and a cruiser chasing the other AGS. Never i saw nothing, like disengage, etc.
Oh, and yes, i called them gangbangers, wanna see all the event, PM me, i send all to you.
Rheinland isnt Liberty, it never was, RM used to have some hand on indies, the CAPs used to be under some kind of RM influence, but all is degradating now.
Maybe some points i refer here shouldnt be here, and if you want i will edit it later, but this is to show that Rheinland is turning to be a Liberty 2nd and RM maybe turning to what it fought to never be.
Always a pleasure to see you guys in space....but latley.....not so much.
