Less han twenty four hours after I posted this thread, we are at full blown war again. Come now, isnt it better this way? More targets, more life in the game. I am glad to see things working as they should again.

I think you exaggerate the length and breadth of the truce -- and, ugto/icc were definately fighting this afternoon/evening.
I find it interesting that it required a concerted effort and many weeks -- in the past, when UGTO/K'Luth established a truce to wipe out the ICC, I think it took less than 10 days to accomplish.

I agree, there are great players on all factions, and I should like to think that I have friends on each faction as I have flown with and against most of you. If this were real life I would be all about truces, cooperation and peace. Even if we had a huge player base and several factions, truces and such would add an element of intrigue, but as the game is now, truces just limit potential engagements.
I have said forever that it would be sweet to abolish factions and make each fleet it's own faction. I think that would rock, all the drama of truces and betrayal and all that stuff that makes for cool sci-fi movies could actually exist in game then.

One reason why the truce held so long was that it added another element to the game. Trying to co-ordinate with another faction was pretty cool, like stopping yourself from attacking anything red (lol).
Sure there were times that the truce almost failed or did degenrate into a fight (like in Ross, ICC and UGTO were allied except for that system).
Another time there were 14 UGTO and ICC all about to face off. I took it upon myself to warn UGTO that some ICC may attack and should be ready to WH out. It was so freaking cool, like the Cuban Missile crisis or something. Hardline ICC wanted Blood, and some UGTO didn't want to back down.
And of course accidents or ppls trying to break the alliance were delt with brute force if they didn't get the message. Nothing like running away from your own faction member who is trying to hide/use you as a shield.
Lol, good times. Well fighting Kluth was getting really old, so I left DS. Truce is over, so maybe I'll come back, love UGTO and ICC battles. Kluth why don't you join one of the two. I'm really sick of needing ECM and playing hide and seek with Kluth anyways. Not my idea of fun.

You have the game on your side Azreal.
One on One ANYSHIP against its counter equivilant (siphon v ead or ad). The kluth will always win.
Its not due to skill
Or lag
Its down to the simple fact....that you have every god damn thing in the game running on your side.
It is shown that even WITH the truce, a few weeks ago, you where holding us off with only ONE AC by going into a random system and just caping it very quickly.
Its sad that the ICC and UGTO have to truce to beat the kluth. TWO FACTIONS are needed to beat ONE.
I challange ANY ONE of you kluth players to come over to UGTO and ICC for a few days after kluth have re-established their foot hold.
Its all very well you saying its not because you are uber, or its just pure skill, if you havnt experienced what WE have to put up with EVERY DAMN DAY.

Yes.. Yes. Indeed.
Yesterday, I was basically anti-truce, and going to attack an ICC, regardless of truce status. But they attacked me before I was even in the least threatening. So.... It seems I'm not the only one who dosen't care for the truce.
To be honest, I was rather confused/unready to fight this ICC threat! I know how to fight kluth, and I'm very good at that. But with the ICC, I didn't know where to start. I got destroyed like 3 times in a row, because I had no idea how to properly combat the Assault Dreadnaught. With it's damn ... 6 lasers, or however many they have, I was completly outgunned, and such. It's alot more fun too. I have often logged off, and just gave up playing for the day, because it's so hard to find the K'luth unless they're activly attacking a planet. They're ///always/// cloaked, so, it's extremly difficult to just come to them and pick a fight. But ICC is almost always visible! So I can have someone to play with even if there aren't any K'luth around. I keep getting ganged up on and destoyed, but it's fun to be playing with more people.
If any of you are like me, then officially abolishing the truce will equal a higher average of players at any given time.
Speaking of such.. Why does the MV NEVER EVER EVER EVER go below "14" players? Even at 5 AM EST.
Just my thoughts.

if you think finding kluth is hard now.....wait til the patch.....they will be COMPLETELY undetectable.They will be able to decloak....fire/bomb/drop inf so fast you wont have a chance to react...unless they timiing has been increased.Now granted that will add an element to the kluth.....but then all they need to do is sit at SY planet in a fleet with a piercer....wait for some poor slob to spawn.....decloak......fire en'masse.....recloak....wait for the next 1.think that WILL be the major flaw to being undetectable.

I don't know if this is the right forum to talk about this... It seems like it's kind of straying from the point, but you're right.
It would however, make scouts/beacons invaluable.
