Hehe. I would like to offer congratulations to the following pilots for making our venture to destroy the Itani Capital ship before it reached Sedina a tremendous success:

Dr Lecter,
Tramshed,
Mortis,
(someone else I'm forgetting)

You pilots are the pinnacle of the universe's anti-capship fighter squads. Although it does help that the entire Itani defense jumped ship after facing odds that obviously were insurmountable. Intimidation is ineed a fearsome tactic.

They probably jumped ship because riding a capship for an hour traveling 30m/s (if that) isn't all that exciting.

I thought the Itanis meditated or played shuffleboard the entire trip.

Well, there was a bunch when we began attacking it in Pelatus, but by the the time it reached Odia, they had all disappeared save one or two. Probably had something to do with that fact that half of us could hail the cap to make it stop, and dock to repair.

:P

When some sercos docked and turned the turrets on the defenders it all started to seem sort of pointless. We cannot extricate a serco with good itani standing from the ship. So we can't defend well from the outside without being shot at from the turrets, and turrets without fighter cover are easy targets. So we do what, blow up our own ship? You guys really took the fun out of it.

I suggest instead letting all the cap ships reach B8, and maybe even try an agreement to not fight untill all three are there.

Awww harpo, you confused the thread! Now it seems like its a suggestion thread?!

Plus, our abillity to enter the itani cap ship and man your turrets reflects more upon the stupidity of whoever was driving the damn thing!

AND! This was just about as much fun for you as it is for the sercos to be completely outnumbered in B8 by itanis who are docking, repairing, running, etc. Guerrila warfare fella'. When outnumbered, play by your own rules!

Blame the driver?

Hmmm. Well If I would have been there on the trip down, I could have at least occupied some of you "anti-capship fighter squad" spaznoids and given the IDV Sola a little more life. LOL.

As it was, I was running Valks down to Latos and stopped to defend the ship from bots in the FOUR storms that Jallik threw at us. While the idiot AI maneuvered the ship like it was trying to hump the 'roids instead of get away from them.

I blame myself for the premature death of our beloved capship. Ooooh the shame!

I was one of the 2-3 who gaurded the capital ship into grey space. However, when pirates are allowed to destroy our turrets, then flee into the same ship and repair...its just ludacris, so I and the other long time gunner bailed on the operation.

I concur.

Indeed.

Once again the issue of standing arises. When will this ever stop screwing up stuff?
:/ Oh well maybe it'll be coming soon

Oh and people who are attacking the ship being able to then dock is just retarded. There I said it flat out. It's plain stupid bleh.

Half the time, the Solra dies before it leaves Itani space, whether it's attacked or not. :S
