I can imagine your face:lol:
With 3 battleships around us:lol:
Later, when you left, there were 3-4 gunboats, 5-6 fighters and a Cruiser.. on 3 of us..
I'v seen everything, from Brettonia battleship to Red Catamaran bomber yesterday..
Anyway, I hope BU guys will listen to my tips, they can help with problems mentioned.

Well, they still are rather new and for a new faction I'd rate them above average RPers, despite of what happened.
Just pick on traders, keep within your zone of influence, make some interesting propaganda (academics are much more interesting than an average Xeno:P) and stick to RP.
I'll even help you with roleplay. I'll move my Red Hessian mediator to Frankfurt. She wont fight a lot, though. Will try to enhance the RP and just be there if you have questions or anything.
None of us three pre-BU Bundschuh were there that day from what I can tell, but I just thought I'd mention in the spirit of sportsmanship and friendship... You RM pilots ARE amazing, and have always been. Cudos to always having us on our guard! To me it has never felt unfair to have 2 of us against one of you, those rare times when it's happened... it's felt almost required as a minimum to survival. lol
Now that having been said, there are plenty of times, I'd say more often than not that we are/were outnumbered by RM and their allies, after all there are only 3 of us (non BU Bundschuh I mean) in operation as far as I've been able to tell, and it seems that sometimes we'll have an RM posse show up from somewhere else in Rheinland at our doorstep simply because they've seen us log in. Now that's what we call "outnumbered!" I remember just last week I was hounded all the way through New Berlin by 3 or 4 players and if it wasn't for Varyag coming to my aid I would have been toast, I don't think I was even able to fire a single shot until he arrived -- I was too busy trying not to explode! lol
I'm not saying that it's the same thing as what happened to you, not at all... but we've come to feel it's 100% normal to be outnumbered by RM, and quite logical from an RP standpoint, and that it's going to happen, and if we can get you guys when you're off your guard and there are more of us well then that's a good day for us, especially against your cap ships. So keep up the good work, cudus to all the RM pilots you've enhnaced the game for we 3 immensely!

IS A GAME!!
Even though I saw two BU attacking one of the newest guys of the RM I wasn't ticked off. I don't really feel it's unfair for a fight like that. After all, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.
Yesterday I was OORP considering with the other guys whether or not we should include Bruschal in our searchs whenever we go to Frankfurt after Bundschuh activity there. Like we we do most of the time about Vogtland. When we see Red Hessian activity in Dresden, we try to stick to the tradelanes and seldomly go there. Something about allowing at least a small corner for the enemies (neighbors) to chill out. Sometimes we do blitz the place for the sake of stirring up things a bit (last time I remember was a coordinated hit and fade strike against Varyag).
When criminals "terrorize" the more civilized space within Rheinland, specially New Berlin, they are entering the Eagle's nest and should expect heavy opposition from the RM. Even though it's an RP issue, I feel I cannot ask you to always be outnumbered just because it makes sense. I'll give in and say that a group of yours caught an RM patrol by surprise and overwhelmed it, fair enough for me.
My grievances from yesterday were:
First, we purposedly let you guys alone because we understood it wasn't the time. So, even if you guys came all the way to the New Berlin system, we'd firstly assume you were still taking missions to fix your reputation. Given that scenario, a "we're set/we're ready" would be a nice thing to hear if you planned to come and actually fight us.
Second, I understand that perhaps Varyag came in on his own account, but then more fighters from BU kept creeping in, to the point that even an unfinished vessel (untagged, civ ID) joined the fray. Sincerely, the sour taste of it was way beyond when you're simply outnumbered. I can't really describe the feeling without going outside of forum rules here.
Third, not allowing an already defeated RM to come back home. He even went out of his way to avoid crossing the group (Frankfurt to Hamburg to New Berlin) and still it wasn't enough. From all that's worth, my intepretation of yesterday's fight was that everyone just wanted a kill at any costs. Sadly at the cost of fair play as well.
Again, I'm not so pissed that I was overwhelmed, even though I think 5 (including a capital) vs 1 fighter was a tad over the top, but then again... I got angry at the utter disregard to our welcoming and the fact that it felt like, despite all things, this just came to add to the "let's mindlessly kill the RM extravaganza". Even though the taunts are well in RP. Criticizing my not so outgoing fighting style when I'm seriously outnumbered and outgunned like that while backed up by a large ship was kinda empty and very uncalled for.
In the end, as far as I understand, Varyag alone could have accomplished the same effect against us two.
I'd like to apologise on behalf the others for that incident. Although I was not present, it seems cheap to take part in such an unfair fight, let alone gloat about it. Hopefully this has not soured our relationship with all of you OOC wise.
Course, RP wise, We're gunna rip out your spinal cords with our teeth.:rolleyes:
I always say that you don't become a Hessian to win every fight, it was just our day yesterday. We had a good group, RM and friends did too for a while. I did have to fight a BHG Dessi 3 times. Noone here ever discounts RM skill, it was just our day. To our credit we did force the oorp BU to quit, I personally told him to leave durring the battle and he planet dived. I am not sure why the blood dragon was there, it seemed he was making excuses... it was pissing me off.
Sorry guys but your bad start is getting worse in my eyes...
I just had one of you F1 right in front of me to avoid getting killed..
It was in a period with no lag... 3 ships were shooting on him....and he tried evading for quite some time...
might have been a disconnection... but it certainly came in just the right time.

If you are on about Idun, I do believe the entire server went down then (It's been even more unstable today). Can't think of any other cases but I doubt it was the one just stated.

Well that's exactly the point.. it didn't... it was stable and no lag for at least 3mins after he disappeared...
