Cast your voteą.here is the back groundą. I had tracked two minmitar warriors to their location after a tip off from an friend. The usual pre battle insults and boasts where exchanged before the battle was joined my maller v 2 minmitar cruisers.
In the first engagement I was forced to retreat having lost my shields and only reducing one minmitar cruiserĘs shields I was not only facing 2 cruisers but their full compliment of heavy and light drones and heavy missiles.
After the tactical retreat to think things over and come up with a new tactic as raw fire power was not doing the trick I came up with a cunning plan. I warped back into the fray all guns blazing and plotted my course toward the station at a steady 171 m/s. Getting close to the station would give me cover from the missiles that where shredding my shields indeed I was reduced to 50% armour before I reached the station.
Now heading for the station will give me the tactical advantage of stopping the enemy from using the missiles that where destroying my shields and armour because of the splash damage it would cause to the station. This tactic would give me the upper hand I feel as it was still 2v1 and they still had a number of drones out.
Unfortunately this was not the case they kept on launching the missiles and yes the sentry guns ripped into their already much damaged ships destroying them.
The question is this did I use a valid tactic to gain victory over a foe with superior fire power or did I cheat and use a well documented game mechanic.
I am a fair person as all who know me will testify (I hope) I am putting this to a vote if I am found guilty of cheating I will give them new ships. This is not an RP vote so please keep you love and hate for the Amarr and minmitar out of it, its just a vote on if you feel I cheated.

It was harsh Tyto i agree but a few points from me
 i was not protecting the bs ( why would i have fought Acwrons Tempest if i was protecting it)by figing in a cruiser i didnt use the bs because it was overkill.
i did not intend for you to get hit by the cannons i intended you to stop shooting the bloody missiles at me (they hurt)
i was traveling 35k at 171m/s headed stright past you to the station shooting as i went past i was not goin there to dock ( i thought it would be clear that my intentions were to take cover from the missiles while still being able to engage you both.
i feel for the loss of you both and but i will not be called a cheat or a user of exploits to win my battles.

Tyto my fave enemy long have we fought with words and ships misunderstandings will happen and you did not accuse me of cheating i admit that it was the other valiant pilot who did maybe in the heat of the moment but the words sting me more than the loss of 100 battleships. the loss of a cruiser to me is a big loss i have to earn isk like everyone else.. i cannot go into battle after asking some one if they could afford to loose their ship that would be degrading to them and give me the reputation of being a bragger. I do hope this has not hampered our future engagements.

if i post " i killed 7 with one stroke" and write a threat asking "wether people think this was fair" it s easy to spot my true intentions.
so easy to spot my intentions then give me a clear picture of what my intentions were ? as stated in the original post this was a vote thread only but if i had other intentions please feel free to tell me what they were?

in a cruiser, if you re not aligned towards your warp-target, your lost if sentrys open fire.
no time to ***click***
Never go into battle without your auto pilot set to an escape system so all you have to do is *click*

I feel that our previous battles have always been good even when you logged off to avoid us destroying your battleship I could understand it but this? No, it was as I said last night underhand.
That day Viqer was when the whole of eve shut down and was the beginning of the well documented DOS attacks on eve servers I did not log out to prevent my bs from being destroyed..
I do regret the phrase a bit of fun now as it clearly is no longer fun. I told you that eventful night how I have a 10 rating in eve this is because besides 2 rare moments I have never mined in eve. I have that rating because I have spent all my time in eve fighting npc pirates. in that time I have come up with many strategies and tactic to defeat other players my skills are totally war based (if the maller had missile hard points I would be using them too) I used a tactic that got both your ships destroyed I never meant for that to happen.
as to the money i have had to earn it too i have lost over 200 mils worth of ships so i have more money than you it donĘt mean i can throw it about i earn it like everyone else and was earning the same amounts in my cruiser b4 i even had a a bs. for npc fighting a bs is safer but you can do the same in a well thought out L3 cruiser.
how could I say to you "can you afford to loose the ships ?" without bringing a barrage of "who do you think you are" comments coming my way ? no I assumed from prev chats you were a well off corp with many members and could afford to loose a ship or two THAT and only that was my mistake

It was a great battle and full honors go out to you and Tyto (damn those missiles).
I would love a rematch in any system
for better or worse we couldnĘt have picked better enemies [:lol:. I will indeed applaud you when you do finally destroy my ship it will happen eventually I am resigned to that fact but in the meantime the war will go on as usual. That is unless you wish to concede and come back to the loving embrace of the amarr
