This is a good example of why we need zone ENY, it is pretty obvious people won't police themselves.

I dont know guys.....  This thread has existed in one way or another for quite a few years.  Interestingly enough...the few times Ive seen this particular ganging complaint it has always been associated with this map...

FWIW, I do not believe in forcing players to do anything.  Regarding gameplay especially....do not mess with mother nature, as it were.

ENY is broken, broken, broken. It does not address what it is supposed to address or fix what it is supposed to fix.

The same is true to a lesser degree for all the recent changes that have supposedly been implemented in order to encourage "fights". All they have really encouraged is massive hordeing beyond all previous excesses. None of the new challenges can't be overcome by having a 40-plane numerical advantage, or better yet cutting a deal with one of the other countries so you each have a huge numerical advantage all along the front, so that's the way gameplay has gone. The changes haven't decreased dweebery, they've increased it.

If HiTech doesn't get that after seeing the Off Peak arena today, I see little hope that he ever will.

I've been playing here for a decade.
This is the first and only occasion where I have endured an atmosphere of genuine "hatred" for yourself and game.  It is unsettling.  I want no part of it.
Do yourself a favour - log in - go Bishop and just observe.  It's not nice.  You might want to reset the map or something because you simply need to show some sort of positive reaction.
respect and best regards.

Aw quit bein' a rumpswab, Dantoo. The reason the map is a mess like that is a -total- lack of offensive operations by
the Bishops. Period. End of story. If indeed Hitech did go in there and reset the map I would be incredulous.
I'm half tempted to really try and form an "alliance" of some sort with the Knights just to stick it to guys
who have to go directly to Hitech when things go sour on 'em.
  Don't blame the Knights or the Rooks for the mess depicted on that map graphic. Blame the legions of pilots just
flyin' around pointing their noses at stuff rather than trying to orchestrate some semblance of offensive operations.
I flew around that port for four hours. 95 percent of the Bishop pilots were otd playing bomb the GVs or
just hiding around the CV parked offshore inside its puffy ack defensive belt.
  Not a single offensive operation was launched in the hours I was there this morning and afternoon.
Enjoy furballing; that's what it gets you.

It turn out to be a  bug that crept in with the last release. We will be installing the fix on the server today around 4:00
