, they want it their way by having some advantage that will not lower their score, afraid to mix it up or get shot down to re up another cartoon plane.  
 

There seems to be this stereotype that if your not flying with huge numbers or out to win the war, then you must be some score potato that stays at 30k afraid to be shot down.
There is a huge player base (including myself) that can only log on for just a couple sorties each day. I have no time to join/plan missions, up 3 sectors away or defend a base we just took. When I choose to take off from a base, I don't want to be the only defender there and I ALSO don't want to be along with 50 other green guys. Either situation, it isn't going to be a fun sortie. Its no fun taking off for 5 seconds only to be picked and its no fun landing with a full clip.

You guys have fun with what you do, I  admire that. But ask yourself at what expense and whose?.  Your actions seem to be justified because your think your playing within the "parameters" of the game and as long as you do that..your all good.  The community sees these as dweeby tactics because it does affect their fun and what they like to do.  The SAME exact way as you guys view spies that bust out your mission and ruin your fun. Could I?..sure! but would I?..NO.

Just a question.   

Who is the community? 

The majority or the vocal minority who has been around a while?  Isn't everyone who is a subscriber and plays the game part of the community? 

I don't think there are any statistics showing how the majority of the playing community feels about many topics discussed or debated on this BBS.

Just throwing out some food for thought.

Last Jokers thread had 12 pages+ and We are on Pg 9 here. Start a thread on how you feel about horde tactics and mega squads and Im sure youll get the same result.
The reaction speaks for itself

Doesn't answer the question I asked.  I'm not debating wheather NOE's (hoards) are good or bad.  My question is "who is the community".  I have seen various numbers tossed out that the players who are subscribers to this BBS is a very small percentage of the total player base.  I don't know if that is true or not, but I have never seen that challenged.

Does the small percentage of players who frequent this BBS speak for the community and the rest are ignored, or is there some way of finding out how the entire community feels about any specific subject matter?

Like I said earlier, just some food for thought.

There were Knit Hordes all over the south last night. Our guys just went at 'em. No whining No crying, just go after them and hurt their feelings.

After reading Slapshots posts I got to thinking about mine. And in hindsight, I regret posting what I did and if I could erase it I would. Joker did put up a challenge and the Rooks failed to meet it head on. I want to publicly apologize to Joker for my harsh words about him.

Hopefully, Joker will do this again when I am logged on so he can shoot me dead in my arse.

In my 12 plus years of flying this is what I have found about hordes. The folks in them think they are safe and stop paying attention. They rely on others to be alert. In any given horde there are about 3-4 guys afk or daydreaming. Easy easy kills. Then you get the 4 or 5 guys going after the one low con. Again the pickens are great! I'm willing to bet there are folks who will echo my thoughts here.

[The Fugitive]

"pickins" are great if all you want to do is pad your score. I'd rather these guys be awake, and give me a good fight. Win or lose its the fight I'm after. Hiding in the horde they feel safe and count on other peoples skills to save them. I'd rather see them come out in the open and learn a trick or two.

I fail to see the point your making here with consideration to the original thread......is there a point?

Why yes there is. The point being is to get folks to realize that there are kills to be had in a hordes. You are not necessarily going to get shot down. Although your odds do increase considerably.

For the individual who criticized me on the pickens. Hordes are not the place to display your turn fighting skills.

[waystin2]

I saw the big red Bishop dar bars, and pulled 9 other Pigs together and flew into it, several times.  We fought, we shot some down, and we were shot down.  Not sure what squads were in attendance, but thank you for the fun!
