i had a fight last night when my connection was working that was fun till that last part.
I had tried dive bombing a cv in ju88s then i was chased back towards my base.
i lost 2 ju88s and was me 1 v 1 against i think a corsiar so i tried to dog fight him,hell i aint going with out 
fight.
We turned and weaved and i got some hits on him with my little front gun and my rear guns but he got my
fuel and i was wounded. finaly my engines quit so i drop gear and went to land on the shore.
As i was landing the   other guy came in a  killed me all for another kill he needed the 3rd to get his name in bigger lights.
but he never landed them
the fight was good till the last part for me.

But apart from that all i saw was hanger bangers and horde vulchers

Ditto on the fight between 27 and 8.  Fun police killed hangers at both while I was on, but it only slowed it for a bit.  The secret was to go in at about 4-5K and wade into the crowd.  Dome really heavy duty fights from there to the deck

What Guppy said is the key right here.

Take it from someone who knows how to use alt. A furball has strata, top, middle, and lower. If you fly higher than 5-8k you'll be in the top strata and will be up there with all the guys who only BnZ and run. It's much more efficient to come in at the middle strata, then do some E fighting before you end up low in the furball. The only requirement is you have to have the SA to dodge or suck down the BnZ guys above you which is usually no problem. If you try to come in high, the BnZ guys will just start coming in higher and before you know it you're chasing them around at 30k while everyone at 5k is having a complete blast furballing. It's called the, "Altitude arm's race".

And yet, when I ask if anyone is looking for fight or wants to DA, only the same two guys respond 

[Anaxogoras]

Fly a faster airplane that can catch people if they try to run.

You've been fighting the rooks?

All I did tonight was chase runners.  Finally, exasperated after a couple hours of this I went to the DA to find a fight and all I found in the furball area were more runners.

What a joke.

I will totally agree.. the DA is a joke. It's full of gang tards, pickers and runners. The current DA is way worse than the MA IMHO. Whats even worse is is actually a squad in there now that dose nothing but climb to 15k so they can all gang some lone con or pick anyone they see in a fight. Then they think they are fighter gods because they land kills in the DA and the other noobs give them WTG's.

Hell me and a squad mate tried to do a private dual about a week ago and couldn't even do that, with out some noob twit coming in and interrupting.

As far as the MA.. The state of the MA I've been squeaking about that for quite some time. Skill level keeps eroding further and further because we have two many twits worried about landing 4 or 5 "easy" kills or blowing buildings in NOE surprise attacks rather than actually fighting for a hard fought for kill or base capture.

Just a simple example of how bad it's getting... Last night I went out looking for a small fight because I hate hordes. I end up finding a Huri 2 at 18k.. Tried to bait him in and next thing you know there was two 16k to 17k Nik2's and a Tempest coming in behind them.. I mean it was quite literally most of my personal list of the biggest dweeb planes in the game. Of course they wouldn't come down or fight with out all 5 of them.

I end up climbing out, because they were the only cons in the sector and managed to get one of the Nik2's by himself. By this time I had to climb to 20k and this guy was now at least 25k in a Nik2  lol. Once he finally was willing to engage by himself I liturally sent him to the tower in 3 turns it wasn't even worth my time climbing up there because the fight lasted all of about a 45 seconds.

It's why I hate flying to other bases anymore and why I pretty much just upp at bases under NOE attack or that are getting attacked by a CV. At least that way I don't have to climb to 20k to fight some con or worry so much about them running away, because they are more worried about vulching or capturing a base so it keeps them close by and gives me lots of targets.

Fear not, school is about to start back up, and the afore-mentioned borg-cube members, who haven't been playing long enough to grasp what the game is all about, but CAN grasp that flying at 15k with 15 wingies is safe, or whording an empty base with 30 wingies, will fall by the wayside

sounds like he was fighting JG11

yep, great fight last night, when the FH went down, I'd just up GV until they came back up.

[Goat1]

Saw I had 99 posts, want to get my 100th in.

The fights were great all night, including escorting some of said bomber sorties.  

[cbizkit]

Knights and Rooks had a great furball in between 27 and 8.    We see 17's come in.   Two FH's go down.   I flame one and get shot down by a well known buff pilot.   To quell the smart-arses, no, I can careless if I got shot down.   

I logged in disgust.

That was by far the best MA fight I've seen in months in terms of two sides just going at it, no base cap, no oneupmanship in terms of which group could get more alt, good solid group of like minded people killing each other.

At least until the fun-police arrived. I too logged after they dropped 27 the second time in an hour. Fun while it lasted <S>.

Amen to that Cbizkit, reminded me of the good ole days. It feels like a medieval light infantry battle, both sides charge with a battle cry, the forward ranks intermingle in the middle and the chaotic frenzy of battle consumes the combatants like a raging wildfire drawing more and more into the inferno. I play everyday just looking to recapture that adrenalin saturated feeling we had last night. It's so great when it happens, it imbues me with the strength to persevere through the monotonously boring weeks of milkhordes spraining their wrists to avoid fighting each other on the HUGE maps...

a lot of good fights in orange tank town last night as well. And a lot of airframes scraping the industrial plant in the middle, whatever that was. Then your on the deck trying to get Scottey to give you warp fact 9 as your buzzing past the enemy wirbels. That was a lot of fun, with a lot of people showing up to fight.
