Do You Enjoy Combat?

Once you pop you cannot stop. :wink:

I will admit though, there has always been a satisfaction in destroying those who thought themselves better than I.

Is that why you enjoy destroying everyone?

Quite so. It’s a pleasant experience.

No, I don’t enjoy combat.

I enjoy being challenged. I enjoy supporting the Empire and bringing justice to wrongdoers and terrorists. But not combat in itself.

Sometimes fighting newer pilots who don’t stand a chance makes me feel poorly.

Yesterday I was eliminating Sansha pirates in Providence. My little Slicer was eliminating Cruiser after Cruiser and Battleship after Battleship. My shields sometimes flickered a bit from their grazing laser fire and glancing missile explosion, but never dropped below 90%. On an armor tanked ship…

I just wished they would recognize how utterly outmatched they were and would just give up and abandon Providence. I wished they would alert their comrades too and warned them too leave. I didn’t enjoy that combat at all.

Fixed that for you.

I most certainly enjoy combat.
I enjoy fighting more than killing because it’s fun and I tend to get paid.
I have always felt that it’s probably a good thing that cleaning up the cluster’s trash feels good.

No I do not.

I enjoy helping people.

Sometimes that involves helping my allies in combat. Sometimes that involves helping people against their will. And to clarify on that last point if I am going to pull someone from a burning building I will force them out and restrain them from charging back in to it.

But all that said, no. I do not enjoy combat.

I make my due obeisance to your rank, honour and blood, my Lady Elkin.

I was bred for war. I would not say that I enjoy combat so much as being fulfilled by it.

Since it was discovered that my genetics also made me capsule-compatible, I have found combat to be less - how to say, not enjoyable, but perhaps less thrilling? As a Marine, Death was a close and intimate companion. As a capsuleer, I am a ghost momentarily inconveniencing other ghosts. It is less visceral, more technical.

I see I do not explain myself well. Forgive my impertinence.
