Though all the attacks on Port Smallwood have been pretty stressful and annoying, I can't deny that sieges on it were to be expected. However, I'm a little disppointed when I read the attackers (Corsairs and all their supporters) complain like this on the forums about the consequences of the siege.
You make the choice of attacking Port Smallwood with so many capital ships, nobody is forcing you to do so. You don't lose anything from not attacking the base. And all for what? To destroy the platform all this activity has been coming from, a platform that has been created as an RP effort rather than being some powergamer's cloak factory?
Fine. I can't do anything but to leave the decision about how many hours you spend on these sieges to you, and to defend the base when I have to. But I don't want to hear you complain about ganks, when you bring in your army of dozens of cloaking legates - If you get resistance from all sides, you should be prepared for it. I don't want to hear you complain about server crashes - this is your initiative, you can't blame the counter-attackers and defenders who just happen to give the server capacity the rest after your massive siege.
I guess they are expecting to play their role and to have a proper result from gathering such a huge force in order to take down the Core 1 base. However when server just crash when it's more then 3 people meet in one system we can't talk about anything.
Fact is , when the hessians decide to oorply log 12023489 caps to counter the 24258243823 caps that are attacking the base of their enemy, and they notice after the first time ''hey this crashes the server'' and then start using it repeatingly as a tool , this is clearly harming the server as a whole.
the man's got a valid point...
For instance, ive been on the sair side of this, i have yet to see anyone but SCRA bring a bomber swarm... everyone else just uses capspam to crash teh server...
I doubt the RHA have NO bombers at all, they prolly have and bombers are damn much more effective then caps, especially since one legate can easily trash a couple of jorms..

You mean like all of the Bowex, BMM and BAF bombers that were there today and yesterday? I saw 2 Hessian battleships today. The rest were bombers. I'm seeing a little selection bias here.
