a perfect example of why this group is needed.

I decided to fight in the open at the LICZ near the station in the ibootis system tonight, i jumped inn and joined the Feds.
turns out this was a bad idea as the place was full of human players fighting for Eranin but i thought i'd give it a go anyway so picked a target and started my attack run.
i got one quick kill in before everyone in range turned on me and 3 or 4 ships started blasting me to bits, my shields went down very quickly so i did what any good pilot would and bugged out to recharge.
i got into SC with 87% hull so instead of returning to the station i thought i'd return so i could switch sides and be on the winning team.
i drop in to the LICZ and waited for the other ships to appear, the intention was to set my faction once they did so at this point i would still show up as neutral.
it didn't matter, as soon as i dropped out of SC i started taking hits to my shields. at this point i didn't stand a chance as the ships that were shooting me had yet to appear on my radar, nothing at all had appeared and yet i was still getting shot to shreds.
in my view you should never attack a neutral ship in a war zone, target them, track them sure but no firing until they have either fired at you or set a faction even if they did just do a boomerang jump to recharge.
my only option was to get the heck out of there, i saw no point offering my ship on a plate to players who have no honour.
this is basically two issues, being seen by those in the instance before you can see them, and total lack of respect for neutrality. it completely ruined my game.
i guess i wont go PvP for quite some time after that experience
