am I using the terminology correctly? It was a bunch of people who by faaaaaaar outgeared literally everyone on my team, fielded two tanks in the first minute of battle, redlined us, and then switched to adv/proto sniping suits. then kept calling in Orbital Strikes into our base. real classy.

That kind of **** makes me not want to play this game anymore. in EVE when I got killed by another player it was because I made a mistake that legally entitled them to kill me

"It's a space treasure chest, go on, open it, you look new and could therefore use it's contents more than I"

"golly gee wilikers mister, thanks! why did you just turn red? OHGODSTOPSHOOTING!"

and even then there was a way to gain retribution(my method was to go get my angry ship(amarr coercer) turn his little cronies into ash{they picked apart my ship after he blew it up}, and finally gather a small group of people who were really pissed at him, and blow his ass to bits. but leave him in his pod for a nice, slow flight home, so he could think about not pissing off someone with a vengeful streak.)

here my mistake was "existing". and the only retribution would be... oh wait, their guns are better than mine, I can't even put a dent in their shields with my rifle, and they have a tank on either hill, aimed at our spawns. so I literally have no option to fight back. I try to do some av, and I can't even hurt their tank with my militia swarms, I try to snipe, and I get one shotted by a tank, or return fire when my bullets ineffectually plink off their helmet.

Sorry you pubstompers aren't good enough to go and fight corp battles, or whatever it is where that kind of firepower is actually warranted.

Rant over. Pubstompers suck.
