Sadly, I didn't get to have any of the fun because I wasn't there... I saw you guys in Kyushu and wanted to log, then noticed my ping and decided not to. So I'm writing this as a mere "bystander", so to say.
Fun is good, after all that's what this game is all about. I like it and support it in any shape or form, but only if played out right. If I want to give you my personal opinion on the matter, I didn't really like it because it didn't make much sense because of the reasons stated in my last post.
If you ask me, the proper approach would've had been sending a simple "Hey mate, do your guys feel like a bit of fighter pew pew with no basehugging, gankin, etc? We have 8 fighters ready for some pew in Leeds, so if you want we can meet at Stokes lane to shoot stuff." to a representative of [KNF] over skype. Far as I've noticed, most members of that faction have ships parked in Leeds, so it wouldn't have taken long for them to show up. That way, it would've helped both sides to keep the numbers even as well as keeping the fight more organized and more fun, and also someone's reaction who's just checking player list over boredom would've had been "Oh, a BAF vs KNF fight with even numbers? Good for them!" instead of "What the...?! BAF in Kyushu?!"...
That might just be me, but to me it looked more like a "We were just bored so decided to do somethin stupid for fun" kind of deal... That's not a bad thing at all, even I do it from time to time, but honestly... That's not the example an official faction should be for indies and other people.
But thank you for your detailed reply nonetheless.
