I sure wish some of you forum warriors had showed up to help defend Walters Dock from SDC at the Farewell To Walter Waldo CG weekend before last. With the exception of a VERY small handful of defenders, SDC pretty much ruled the system and killed haulers by the hundreds unopposed. Where were you guys then?
The instancing doesn't work in our favor, though.
I flew over to Gyvatices in my Vulture all ready to die for king and country. Got there, quiet instance with a few traders. Landed, refueled, took off again (I think that sends you into a new instance, not sure though). Prowled outside Walter Dock looking for a fight. Saw a nice pvp match that was over before I got there. low-waked to prowl the system in SC. saw a bunch of people in combat ships but realized I had no idea if they were the bad guys or not. Then I got interdicted and destroyed by a wing of clippers and fdls. Not sure if they were "bad guys" or "good guys" who were defending the traders and thought i was a ganker.
Anyhoo, as I am fairly new and still poor I decided to as I had no idea what I was doing and didn't want to lose anymore money.
Next time my plan will be this:
1) get to CG station.
2) ask in chat if anyone else wants to wing up and work protection (and make clear that I am a pilot, don't want to plant any false hopes).
3) Try not to die
4) ...
5) Profit?
