I would have probably said...

"Man, I would love too but I just dropped a transmission this afternoon and I have to get it fixed up and bolted back on by sunrise so I can get to work :)"

Come on Mars, even my whipped buddy Rutger is putting the GF on hold tonight. Anybody else from the 13th showing up?

All I can say about tonight is... Well I really cant say nothing. The time of us virtual fighter jocks are gone. Shubie has proven that the strat guys rule the skies of AH. Myself and Charon tried to do some good and it failed. Very few wanted to challenge a larger force. I am ashamed to even mention how many tried to fight back. I will no longer whine about any gameplay that goes on in here. I will say the game is not as fun as it once was. Shubie it was fun and I hope you continue to attack defended bases.

Yeah, Shubie. Good attacks, good organization and your squad was ready to fight. Looked like Mars and DoK and Jam and me showed up. It was fun for a short period of time. That Mossie raid was a nice change of pace (if it was you guys, if not Good Job whoever). Good fighting for a while there. Then... poof... 5-1 or 1-5. The defense evaporated to "greener" pastures, except for guys like Vudak and his friends that were putting up a fight later on.

And Jam, great idea, nice proactive approach. As those few engagements showed, it's a hell of a lot of fun when while it lasted. I have one more idea I might explore after I flesh it out.

Dunno what you're talking about here but we've been fighting (and are currently fighting) pretty bad odds for A7...  Fun times :)

I went up for just one flight ... I don't know if its this terrain or my DSL line acting up again, but the warps were real bad. Since they were worst around the fields, I'll assume it was the terrain.

Anyway ... dragged my 51 up to 25K to hunt dweebs. Yes, some of us still can hunt alone. Every Bish I encountered made at most one half-hearted merge before either extending to Jupiter or diving for something that they could justify as a better target.

Then a Fw looked like he was trying to keep me busy S of ... whatever the hell field it was. A876543.  So I eased West a little, Bish 190 in long trail but no threat, and saw a lovely sight. A nice cluster of dots at 20K. Yum yum.  11 Mosi's splooging along towards the base.

So I call it out to folks and see the message getting relayed on distance channel. Haul the Pony around and dive in. My intent is to shoot a couple down if possible, but scattering 'em is just as good as it buys the defense time and pushes the fight lower.

Bore in fast - real fast - right at the edge of buffet - tough to aim if you aren't used to operating at these speeds. They start to break turn as I hope - except one who isn't watching. He be dead.

After plowing through I extend out a little to survey the carnage and see what the high cover 190 and Spit (who started trailing in late) are up to. The Knights are on 'em now and it's a melee over the field. Even more so because the warps or frame choppiness or who knows what.

I just start making high speed runs on anything red and calling 6 to whoever needs it. A Bish Yak tried to sneak in on me but he didn't read my energy state right - he cranked it in hard only to find me still going plenty fast and ended up with nothing but air to shoot at.  I pulled around a little to keep him interested - so he'd slow down more - so someone green could kill him quicker - which they did.

When I'm down to a minute of fuel I do Ye Olde belly slide landing to get off the runway ASAP. 1 kill, 3 assists, FH's still up.


Dunno ... I saw nothing really awe inspiring in the attack save for numbers. And there just wasn't critical mass on the defending side to make this work out.

I think in a way the MA does mirror reality in one respect. That is, a handful of really experienced people can make a big difference, but at some point numbers just become too overwhelming.

Vudak Im pseaking of the initial push. Front lines were all the way to 79 and 85. Seeing shubies well organized attack was myself and charon. the other guys were spread out trying to figure out where shubie was attacking. I saw myself and charon the rest were red. The others as I said were trying to make it there. There wasnt a big secret where the mission was going as it created 2 full dar bars as it crossed sectors. We just didnt know what base they were going to hit. Called out the attack over country channel ahead of time even as they were upping from 89. We had maybe 10 players show up. 85 was being attacked by our own group. Did they help I dont think so? Suddenly they all but vanished. They left to easier pastures. I guess I was hoping to much but was dissappointed in the lack of help. Those of us on this BBS looking for fights whether against the horde or 1 v 1 are becoming extinct. The fight at 7 is fun with fighters, bombers, jabos and gv's all over the place. I think that should be the norm. That is the type of gameplay I am trying to promote. I dont want a furballing arena. I dont want a pure strat arena. MA should be an arena where the 2 meet just like at 7.
