Balancing battles

[Moberg]

Well, something I'd like to get off my mind. Here we go..
It bothers me very much that many battles end in frustration because nobody ever heard of balance.
Bandits in Stuttgart, 2 fighters and a bomber?
RNC arriving with a battleship, atleast 3 cruisers, a gunboat, even more fighters.
LNS invading Hamburg, going 95% dreadnoughts, carriers and labc.
How's this fun at all?

I would like to have this kind of counters reduced as they are frustrating. These fights usually go from 'Exciting and very close' to 'ridiculous slaughter'.
To everyone, whether you are commanding or not, official faction member or indie, please, try to stop that behaviour.

Thanks for reading.

Welcome to PvP...





...you do understand that you can run right? Run, run for your life!

I have no problems pirating completely by myself through out Rheinland, and I haven't been destroyed in months. (Tau's is a different story )

The fun is to win with smaller but skilled force against the horde of lolwuts.
Balancing is not possible because there are people that can win with one VHF vs 3-4 average VHFs, same thing with caps, there are people able to win against 4-5 snubs alone in cruiser and cruisers dieing from single bombers. You cannot balance skill.

Official faction players that are often accused of elitism, never deploy them and have those weird, immersion killing "fair fight/dueling" suicidal hobbies. (yes, i've seen enough of those lolduels, where house military with overwhelming force on the field willingly loses a pilot in a duel. ffs.)

I don't have anything against a loss.
I just think PvP would be more interesting if it would be number and strength wise balanced.

Unfortunately there is no known way balance PvP. Everyone atempting it (looks at [LN]) has failed and brought down heaven's whine upon themselves.
Only thing one can do is be nice himself and hope everyone else will also be cool.
EDIT:
Also

When "roleplay" around you seems to be diminishing... all you can do is be a new beacon of roleplay to light up everyone else's interactions.
