Hi MoMo,
I believe this is the first time we have interacted, which suprises me as I play in Open pretty much exclusively. Where have you been? (not Cubeo, obvs)
You seem to be mistaking my happiness at finding Aislings home undefended with salt. If anyone should be salty it is those poor saps who pledged to the most numerous Powerplay faction in the galaxy, yet were rapidly destroyed within sight of their HQ station as easy pickings crying for help that never came. No, I am in a thankful mood. Without ADC leadership totally neglecting any effort at protection for their new pilots my kills would have been more difficult.
I thank you also for your concern that I may not have been entertained. Allow me to reassure you: Taking a hopelessly slow and poorly armed old ship to the home of the enemy and attempting to murder every Imp CMDR we found in the system was highly entertaining, as was the system chat afterward. As you can see from the screenshots below, not all CMDRs are as willing to sacrifice their ships without a fight as ADC High Command. One or two of them even put up a respectable if token resistance. Liran Hain, for example found an FDL and some fighting spirit from somewhere, something the rest of ADC leadership apparently couldnt do. Props to him.
As for me being an amazing combat pilot- well, we all know that is not true. The guys at FUC would laugh if you suggested such a thing.
But if ADC decline to send your amazing combat pilots to help when your poor newbie haulers are calling for aid, one doesnt have to be skilled. One just has to be present!
All the best,
Welsh
