I named this thread Space Opera tongue in cheek, but seems I was spot on.
It was said a can of worms would be opened, and bloody hell hasn't it been.
What was I trying to say, in its most basic. I joined a MS to get skills to help me craft.
I had no idea about the history of stuff that went on.
When I did get around to look - I saw oceans of BS which included lies, unfounded allegations, maybe truth - all mixed up together.
I relied on the evidence of my own eyes - seems legit, bad stuff that Varyag was supposed to be doing I observed was being done - only was being done TO us not By us.
What got me to post was not so much the actions of a Vigilante - directed it seems at new players. Not those players who could cause that "Vigilante" grief. You know Morgoth, there are PVP players planetside who act like that, I took a screenshot of one for laughs - maybe he was Your alt?
It was the actual half arsed justification for the attack, that new players repairing the "evil" Varyag are forever guilty because their actions help the pilots skill up & enable them to de evil deeds with their new found skills.
That such players should FOREVER be targeted.
Now it seems a hypocritical ex pirate like Alainex can see the light & become good, but I will be damned forever.
That pathetic explanation was why I started this thread - I was maybe naively expecting somebody from Kronan
to reply, "no, its not like that at all, because yadayada & haven't we all been dicks carrying on like this, maybe it would be better if we all buried the hatchet & cooperated"
Fat chance of that it seems.
Well, I am not complaining at all, what I have observed & read just makes me determined to stay with the Varyag - who in my experience has not been evil. Though the moment it starts killing orphans & torturing kittens I will leave
And I notice that I was fired on by Starloser XXXI, when I was flying back to Ark SS. Must have had the trainee gunner on duty - pathetic shooting
Though Rose you can shoot me down anytime - I was watching the professional way you shot down that other quad a day or so ago - I do admire skill
