For the sake of accuracy, “I” brought a carrier. I didn’t bring 3000 dudes. I do know what you mean (effectively the “royal we”).

Touche…as somebody who often complains about that kind of use of language…well played.

And like I said in the OP, the reds were smart for not trying to take the fight - I didn’t begrudge them this decision, even though I did lament it. The loss would have crippled them. And I think that is the problem. In a world where losing a fight of that magnitude utterly crushes you, you don’t take the fight.

Isn’t that the smart move? Live to fight another day? I’m get why “having the fight” is fun, but at the same time prudent play is good in that it makes the game interesting on the whole, IMO.

@Old_Pervert

If an option existed (and I hate to say it but I honestly have no idea how this could work) to take the fight and not get your ability to take future fights completely decimated, I expect they probably would have taken the fight.

Of course, but the problem is if you do this, then fights could become meaningless. One of the nice things about EVE is your actions have consequences…
