I seriously doubt you could pull enough people away from their own safe horde to actually oppose the enemy horde most of the time (barring some large organized squads). It's not like you don't regularly see two opposing hords attacking lightly defended bases within a sector or two of each outer, carefully avoiding any mutual contact. Then, its a matter of following the opposed hord over the map from undefended base to undefended base once things start to get a little hot. Worth a try though.

1. Hordes are not all that safe. Horde members are flying "heavy" aircraft, that cannot get out of their own way. Try dogfighting with a couple of thousand pounders under your wings.
2. I (personally) do not like to be on the defense. I prefer to attack, and make the OTHER guy defend. When I do defend, I tend to up from capped fields and get my tail shot off.
3. I suspect that most horde participants are much like me in that way. We enjoy playing the base capture game, and therefore spend a lot of time capturing bases.
4. I see a lot of experten that hang around a few miles away from an enemy base, waiting and hoping for the "baby seals" to fly by on the way to their fun. If you guys admit it to yourselves, the existence of the strat players--by far the majority IMO--gives you something to do with your time. If it weren't true, you'd all be off in the DA furballing with each other.
