It was rather strange yesterday, 36 Bish online, 16 inflight. Maybe they were taking a hot cocoa break.  :cheers:

Flying rook I can’t deny we suck at the team game lol. Lots of good individuals flying individually, I take what I can get with zero thought of winning.

I think this is the biggest problem. Bish seem to like to work together, knights and rooks not so much. To a lot of players on the Rooks and Knits, it seems that the only way to play is to rack up kills, and the quickest and easiest way is best. Vulching, picking and so on.

I dont think the "win the war" types dominate play any more. Of course that was the "hey day" of the game. Big squads going head to head pushing for the win. Of course that generated far more fights which kept the "fighter" guys busy/happy, and opened room for those looking to pick and vulch for easy kill counts. With the loss of that team aspect pushing for the win on the Rook, Knit side it leaves the Bish as the only team really "going for it!" , which adds to the issue of few fights on the rook knit front.

Bringing back ENY really wont slow the Bish down all that much as they just will continue to work together for that next base. It will get them pissin' and moaning about the handicap and make the defence on the Rook/Knit fronts a bit easier as they should had the better equipment, but not by much.

I've only flown Knight since 2004, I agree with Fugitive it used to be Squad vs. Squad with huge missions back in the day focusing on base captures. We've lost a lot of players over the years and with that went the organization and team mentality. I'm lucky if I see 4 people from my squad on at the same time nowadays.

But hey if anyone needs a buff to take out a town or CV you know how to find me!!  :aok

Bish have many more active squads on. Mainly more in the morning.
Knights/Rooks have much more solo flyers I noticed much more on Knights.
Rooks like to furball and its give n take with knights, they like killing red things.
The numbers have been wayyy off lately, especially in the AM hours. I see Bish with consistently 40-60% in the arena and I am glad to see it sort of evens out at prime time.
I dont know if bringing back ENY would be a good thing. To me, it never evened out the numbers and the switch time is absolutely horrendous.
What would make some people's head explode is if they auto join to a team to balance out #s with inclusion to squaddies.

36/18/8 were the numbers at one time Friday

I think it was the buzzsaw map

Went to the 8 side and had to fly 2 sectors to get a pw on the first pass when I finally found a fight

Boring as hell...I can see why newbies do not stick around

Need much smaller maps and if the sides do not balance out of decent game play, force the sides to even

Was it followed by bish complaint that rooks and knights weren't fighting?

With or without ENY, Bishops will have the numbers. Having ENY on or off makes no difference.
