He means the part where they brought 5 bombers who suicided into the caps or forgot to use regens, losing their numbers very quickly and the fight becoming a steamroll from that point.

In general, I collected the following group (I counted on it):
Cruiser
2 Gunboats
Bomber.
The rest of the players themselves came up, I did not call them. However, because of doubts that they exceed us in number, we invited two Bounty Hunters.

We have a significant number of new players who we are helping integrate into the server. New players, who have not been playing FL for over a decade, have problems with processes such as re-genning, proper use of ordinance, correct engagement distance etc.
This isn't a veteran-only I think circlejerk is probably the best you could get away with here, Tani - Justin (who are essential for this server's survival), judging people only by their own, hyper-elitist and oft inactive standards. But laughing at them is an option too (seriously Antonio, cut the elitism).
I don't hold the 6th fleet accountable for what occurred as much as the BHG, who do have the knowhow to properly account fights. It's unreasonable to necessarily expect fair fights in Texas, but otherwise it incentivises Unioners to log or do something else. Or, hell, might as well play Torpedos, which is a fun, no-stakes approach to Liberty where you don't have to worry about things such as what would the character do?
We try to do our force compositions based around RP sense - so a large group of snubs around a few cap monoliths. Not really for combat optimisation, but for things that work for official faction RP. It's tricky to do that in Liberty. We could try to combat-optimise everything, but then it'd just be a meta-chesspiece organisation fest where anti-snub gunboats get brought out for every snub swarm, or cruisers for carriers, or something else - and where would be the fun in that?

Dunc I merely stated the events of the battle, no need to get upset.

I'm not in 6th and I've no idea what you're referring to.
Forgive me, but I do not see any logic: I collected MY team, and the fact that other players came up is not my fault. We were going, like 1 cruiser, 2 gunboats and 1 bomber (written above). We even initially rejected some invitations to groups (as they hoped to play their band, without anyone's help).
And yes, the fact that the players are new - these are purely your problems. I do not know anything about the composition of your faction. And you yourself climbed, then you should have expected that no less team will be gathered against you. If you do not like the experience of your players, then practice with them. For example, I training New.Oregon and Fire.Dragon => they now not bad players in caps.
P.S: When I flew to Leeds, I knew that more ships would be gathered against us. This is just a pattern, do not be surprised that other players can build an army against you.
