The reality is that I do plenty of combat, in Mobius open and solo, do not try to impose your reality on mine (or you become the 13th/code)
Are you 'easy pickings'? don't be silly.
i think he was referring to the fact we instruct cmdrs not to return fire, not referencing skill level in any way. someone who refuses to shoot bck is always going to be easy pickings
Indeed, to clarify, I meant no PvP Combat, not no combat at all.
I also and further mean that Mobius CMDRs will assume another CMDR "accidentally fired" on us. In fact, that's what I thought, and just kept running for the station, not really caring. Other Mobius CMDRs will merely try to get the CMDRs name, and believe it is an isolated incident.

Did not mean to come over aggressive (meds not working)
This group is great, nice people.
Once I can type again I will catch up
No apology needed, I didn't take any offense. I should have clarified my statements.

Although I can absorb the loss I can't afford it too many times. Why do people behave like that in a group to get away from it.
It's very, very isolated. This is my first time running into it after being around a good 3 months, although I only have around 300-350 hours logged into the game total over the last year.
As I said, they (13th Legion) just like the idea that CMDRs will assume the engagement is accidental ... until it's almost too late. The initial barrage can mean everything ... and make it a very unfair fight very quickly, by the time the Mobius CMDR realizes it's not accidental. For them to say Mobius unfairly helps/hurts the universe (depending on their viewpoint) is utterly false, or in the greater context, is no different than Solo and other Private groups. Both Solo and other, Private groups also affect the universe.
They (13th Legion) really need to look at Mobius, like any other Private group where CMDRs work together ... It's
the Co-Opt mode of Elite, Mobius being the one with random pairings of tens of thousands of users. If they have a problem with Mobius, then they have a problem with all CMDRs in all Solo or Private group instances that don't shoot at one another ... which is far more the case than not!
In any case ... I'm not looking for Guild Wars or Eve On-line. If I was, I'd play them instead.
