Exactly!
And as for the post about the mwd's, well Duh! he's on agent missions in hostile space.
This is a guy who is sharing an experiance with those (not necessarily posted on this thread) who grief about never getting anything done because of "pirates". Here is a "pirate" getting things done amidst his friends the "anti-pirates".
The man is just sharing his experiance. Can't we all just get along!

Oh and hey Toulak how you been? It's a darn shame they shut down Sarum Prime. I guess in the anals of history that will be marked as a PIE,DSI, EM victory. If so then congrats, you pilots put up a hell of a defence of the place and deserve that recognition. Bravo!

I dont know if I would call it a victory. It was alot of fun trying to find new ways to get into Sarum with our fleets AND to still have a successful engagment. With all the death that occurred there, I would say you deserve the victory.. as the losses of the rat ships do not outweigh the loss of total life.
Good fight, yes. Hope we have the chance to bring you Justice again.

I think monsieur Stern, the point is really that making a thread about escaping from the clutches of pursuers is just a little bit too desparate.
I mean, its not like we haven't all done it now is it?
And in a blackbird? pshhh, I used to run my blackbird at stupid speeds past the blockades in EC for kicks, but hardly thread-making material, non?
If the story was something like ...
"... cleverly cao cao the pirate evaded the bladerunner hunting party and hatched his plans for revenge! Later that same night after seeding a minefield to deadly effect he lured his foes into a deadly ambush! Snarling with grim satisfaction the dauntless cao cao sliced apart the hull of one bladerunner vessel while his electronic suite held another close but helpless ... oh! how he imagined the cries of agony from beneath the buckling hull of the first ship, and worse perhaps, the anticipation of the same fate for the second. How these bladerunners would regret their lack of vision, how his manhood and powerful presence was proved by martial victory! muhahahahahhaahahhhahahahah etc."
You see, albeit hackneyed and trite, thats a story.
"Ummm well, I ran away and ya couldn't catch me copper!"
Is just excess gas and a waste of bandwidth.
But like I have noticed in a number of threads; Biomass are getting pretty desperate for any sort of "victories" these days.
I mean, come on, first we have Chris Xen boasting about Biomass "NPC rat farming techniques" ... then Molari going on about the "great victories of the past ... blah" ... TankCEO making up stuff about Havocide cringing on his knees, and now Cao Cao turning routine evasion techniques into some kind of psychological knife in the NVA back.
Sad chaps,
Let me give you a clue.
If you want respect you need to come and take NVA territory.
Not just raid and run and hide at safe points.
Take. As in hold/secure/dominate.
Otherwise you really are categorised with the rest of the transitory space trash.
Combat realities have changed alot in recent weeks.
I guess we are all wondering if the current environment will allow Biomass to attain even a fraction of the kill-count they managed in times before.
Or to be blunt.
Can you still get it up?
Love and peace

We've done that. It's like chinese food, 15 minutes after you had it, you are hungry again and need to go back for more.
Jade, I thought you were better than that.
Who can hold territory in this game? 24x7... get real... Even the NVA, with their hundreds of members, can't hold venal if somebody else is deteremined.
We have a problem here, and it is respect. No matter how bad you are beaten, you put a smiley face on it all. Well, sorry, you and your sorry excuse for an alliance have gotten beaten time and time again. Why don't you give up?
Well, I guess it's the same reason we don't hold your territory long... because this is a game, and you don't have to do something if you dont want to.
What would holding venal territory prove, eh? Who's BS fleet is larger than the other?
Was that a question to begin with?
Well, guess what? FE isn't about quantity, it's about quality (you'd know what I mean if you spent a night with viceroy... (_8(|) DOH! )
So, no, we won't hold your territory... for long. But you'll be the chamber maid of techie zero before we suffer destruction at the hands of the NVA...
And thats why you do the SAS thing. Thats why you bring Evolution and SA to your territory... cause when push comes to shove, the NVA can't defend their own self-declared "Turf"...
I'll give you one thing though, with Castor, things have changed, and many of us in FE are still trying to figure the new dynamic, and how to best take advantage of it.
So, enjoy the relative peace. It's all an illusion really, and soon you and your corp will once again be feature names in the films produced by the FE!!! (ALL HAIL ARCHAIN!)

Pointless thread, pirates hugging themselves amidst the sheer stupidity of it, Skillz even bothering to come spit irrelevant comments and i think i've even read a sentence including CAREBEARS.
9/10 Cao Cao, you're not far from Tank's awesome forum work.
Seriously, biomass need to drop the hate. Maybe this is all part of a brilliant propaganda tactic, but in the end it makes you all look like dorks.
Oh and BTW, i have yet to see an interesting movie from archain, ie not showing a fleet of 10-15 ships ganking groups of 1 to 3 stragglers. Because that's not.

Fal,
Ok, what are you expecting? ESPN Sportscenter?
Take a good look at the first video. The one with the cool SW soundtrack, and the intro from Pulp Fiction.
When the action first starts, it looks like you have about 1 dozen FE ships against 4 NVA...
Except...
Look carefully, there are at least a dozen little diamonds representing ship-cans. Archains video picks up after the first big battle was done, and we were into the mop up.
Hint: I was the lone Thorax in that video sequence... thank you Archain for my 15 mins of fame.
Anyways, the videos were simply awesome, but don't properly convey that battle. It was epic man.... Like RoTK but in space!!!
'Cept of course the Orcs won...

I think you are missing the point Jacob. Sure the music and quotes were kinda cool, but the action itself was a bit 1-dimensional. We are yet to see a proper matched fleet battle on video where the odds are closer to even the result was in doubt. Even a decent 1 on 1 battleship engagement would be better these days with some dramatic zoom work and "look at" commands employed to theatrical effect.
Fundimentally the dark empire videos were small groups of NVA ships (1-4) hitting a larger FE force and popping like balloons.
Pretty fireworks but not exactly interesting from a tactical perspective.
What I would have loved to see was a gun cam on the Pain Syndicate ships from the tail end of the M3G4 defeat. Those guys made a legend out of harrying larger numbers and some of their victories were extremely clever.
(This not to disrespect Arcain's film-making by the way, just to comment that his footage suffered from typical combat conditions in the early stages of NVA vs FE ... ie ... disorganised skirmish groups get toasted by gate camping squads)
Effective certainly ... but its not poetry and I doubt we'll be hearing ballads about it in the distant future.

Jade,
How possibly can you speak such tripe when you were holed up in your station?
If we keep this up Jade, people are gonna suspect something...

I was actually asleep Jacob, lets not forget that all your famous fleet "victories" tend to happen when most of the NVA euro contingent are safely tucked abed and snoozing in the land of nod. Of course I apologise for not undergoing sleep deprivation aclimatisation just to endure the rigourous discipline of witnessing your "triumphs" but hey.
Lets just say I was getting shot at by space invaders in PB when you were still a wetnose in the academy m'dear.

Crying my river of laughing tears.
You shouldn't talk about circumstances you don't know; you shouldn't rely on 'arguments'built over war propaganda, because yeah, we're at war with SPVD. More generally, you shouldn't talk about what you have no clue of, especially with such a biased point of view, because you end up saying dumb things (can't make my mind on that last sentence, because i enjoy reading your posts). My best advice to you is to stop spitting your venom until you come up with valid stuff to flame us upon. If you want to win flame wars over personal attacks, please do it properly.

Edited by: Triniton on 23/12/2003 14:29:49 Falhofnir and Jade.. remember when ZomB, SPVD and VALK came to visit u, when WE jumped into your trap and fought your guys at the jumpin(6NJ), u had alot of ships there and archain didnt start recordng right away like seen in the video, but it¦s ok u guys werent there so how would u know.
Second of all the video take¦s place inside Venal and the "10-15 ships ganking groups of 1 to 3 stragglers" is just us haveing fun with the VENAL DEFENCE INSIDE VENAL, so u kinda flame¦d your own defence of "your" region. Then u guys start the "omg exploit¦s thing" and we have seen Jade¦s convo with Mastema, call EVOL but they wont show and tell your pilot¦s not to engage us. I didnt see one CoC guy up there and they had three day¦s to show up. How sweet.. merry xmas and happy flameing.
