i am glad we don't pay up. never pay ransom, because they we be back for more at some point.
at this moment i think we are doing great. they don't know what they are up against. first day we did some nice damage to them. yesterday we bored them, what makes us unpredictable.
was online this afternoon, did some recon. not all of them have good equip. it's only 4-5. and they almost always fly in t2 cruisers (heavy assault).
best thing to win from them is what we did first day, get a fleet. keep warping around and scatter them. as they are scattered make hit and runs. warp in, take weak one out, and try to get away. only thing that needs is patience.
