I will start by saying, this was an engagement I feel I can draw the silver lining from. A chance to get an insight to how far these losers are willing to go just to win.
When we spawned in, we werent totally prepared for -=IOC=- to be this organised in numbers. Their tactic was to have us target the highest scoring player which was the Excalibur and the other two would pick us off one by one. This lack of preparation to this made us wobble but we soon began racking up the kills between us. Note: As Kelbie was about to kill Light, Zero shot a spread of quantums and destroyed light as to stop Keblie getting the kill and it happened with me a few times (See screenshot below of me flying through the Excalibur). By then it was already too late with Zero nearing double figures and our best scoring players (Me and Kelbie) managing a collected 10 (5 each). I felt that we worked well but without the full support from [SF] at the time meant that we were killed more than what would have been if there was more [UFP] support. This isnt a stab at [SF], hell I would fly with them more often than not but if we had a better system in place we would be able to avoid such things as what happened. Never the less I extend my gratitude and respect to the [SF] pilots who flew valiantly and to Kelbie also. With me and Kelbie drawing on 5 kills each, Kelbie second and Zero near the top the game had ended.
Hopefully this will help in creating new tactics.

NOTE: This is the screenshot (Below) that they killed each other. A cowardly tactic but effective nonetheless.
