I find vulching is probably the single most irritating thing a player can do. It takes comparatively little skill and, far more important, it operates to reduce the number of good fights you can find, rather than increase them. Under most circumstances (I concede that it serves a valid purpose if there's a goon on the way to the base) it's the mark of the guy who just wants to amass a big score for his text buffer glory. To say that you can always up from another base misses the point. Having to up from a far-away base simply increases the amount of time it takes to get to a fight - again reducing the quantity of quality combat encounters. You might have enjoyed a fun fight with the guy you shot on the runway, but we'll never know, will we?
I hate vulching. Hate hate hate. Loathe, detest, despise.
