It's not about recon ships, it's about the fact that you'd have to have enough pilots in position with scrams. If you had the pilots ready to go you could've just put them in gank ships in the first place.

We were though? Perhaps you should stop believing in magic and flat Earths.

How many pilots would it take to cycle ships? I suspect less than 30.

like i said; we weren't.

random player: {stupid idea}
sensible people: {that's a stupid idea}
you: {hrurrrrrrrr balance hurrrrrrrrrrrrr}

that's pretty much how the last few comments went. calling a bad idea bad has nothing to do with balance.

They would foul up the people trying to scram it first, then the gankers.

Depends where it happens to some extent I guess, but 30 accounts - fair enough.

if you think that's fixed, you clearly didn't actually read the conversation before posting. that's not even remotely close to how the conversation went.

i didn't make a single comment about it being impractical due to cost/logistics, at all. perhaps you should learn to read then you'd be able to make meaningful contributions to the thread.

It's considered polite to give someone the benefit of ambiguity. If I put too much faith in your logic I apologize.

Again, if you had 30 accounts in system with the JF, you could just murder it at once instead of scramming it.

i see you've resulted to personal insults rather than actually discussing the topic at hand [not that you knew what that was]. i think that says it all, really.

Insult? I was just lamenting the fact that I expected you to understand the preceding post and you completely misinterpreted it.
