Bro, I wasn’t looking through the ground. I’ll say like I said before… I was just chillin upside down. The only way you’d know what we were doing is if you were using the terrain glitch yourself. So you can stop now. Thank you. 
️ Sorry we didn’t give you a day to tunnel to our bases. Took the smart choice and finished you quickly.
Oi, stop hijacking our thread

OP4 didn’t turn up at 23:00, surprise surprise 
.
To be fair to @colin2cold, he and a friend did show up at 01:30. Well, what I mean is: one of our last faction members online came across him raiding our neighbour’s base. I was still in discord so I jumped in-game and our other last member online began warping back from ECC. Then we hatched a plan… 
You see, Colin’s known for flying ships with more blocks than I can count—the kind of class 3 ship that can tank damage for hours and then still escape to safety—so we had to be smart.
We decided @Hedge3, our faction mate on the ground, would do the neighbourly thing and use an HV to push Colin and his friend away from @Thranir’s base. But first, he set all his guns to target turrets only. You see, we didn’t want to scare them away… just slowly disarm them while they thought it was a 2v1. We let this go on for about 10 mins until almost all the turrets were gone and the HV was ready to quit. One of their ships landed to re-arm and we decided that was the perfect moment to pounce. Wrighty and I used the pincer maneuver to attack them from opposite sides in our Class 1 comabt SVs… seeing the terror in their eyes as Colin’s buddy literally turned tail and ran leaving Colin alone was beautiful.
We danced around Colin’s SV, dodging most of his fire, and before he knew what was happening this was all that was left of his ship:
Looking at his ship, I can understand why Colin is such a proponent of keeping Class 3 SV restrictions. This ship has no less than 22 layers of pyramid blocks in front of it’s vital components at the mid-rear. Even in this sorry state there’s still 8.5k blocks there. From these lofty heights, dropping to Class 1 must be a terrifying prospect. Btw, thanks for the blocks Colin!
Anyways, I love Class 1 SVs personally. Earlier in the night I used this raider (designed by @Fulgrim) to win a couple of 1v1s, one of which was taking down a much larger SV:
[dark image to save exposing Fulgrim’s 1337 design skillz]
Even when this guy’s friend came to collect him in a fully-armed CV they warped out rather than carry on the fight (I think the real reason they warped out was that we were in the black hole and they knew the rest of the faction couldn’t be too far away, as opposed to the sheer terror of being attacked by the raider… but still! 
). From the wreckage of Colin’s ship I could make 20 of these. Beautiful.
We knew we’d be going up against one of Colin’s behemoths so we used a slightly more tanky Class 1 against him, two of our faction designed Stormcrow’s:
We could ‘only’ make 4 of these from one of Colin’s. It’s wonderful to fly though and takes on much larger ships with ease. But yes, I can understand why you might think the sky would fall if we were all restriced to Class 1. You would have to design ships with a specific purpose, rather than being master of all [or should I say most… eh Colin? 
]. Take that raider I was talking about, it has 8 guns on it, 2 ammo boxes and a single cargo box. But it maneuvers like one of those #%@$ing annoying flies that just wont leave you alone and it’s too small for most people to hit.
This is the point in the story where I should probably admit I’m definitely looking back on these battles with ‘slightly’ rose-tinted glasses. Honestly, I’m a complete n00b and I don’t know what I’m talking about. I started playing Empyrion multiplayer 2 weeks ago so most pilots would probably wipe the floor with me and I’m just chatting 
tbh. But I saw an opportunity to give a bully that likes to taunt and torment and talk over his victims a taste of his own medicine AND make my case for Class 1 SVs/HVs all in one go… I couldn’t resist!
Also, to Colin: you claimed your ship was bugged. I’m sorry if that was the case, we didn’t notice anything unusual - but as I said, I’m a n00b so maybe I missed something. Instead of you offline-raiding us everyday forever in retaliation, as you claimed you were going to do [really, would we expect anything less?], why not come back for a rematch? If 23:00 is too early for you lets arrange a time and place that is convenient for both sides. The only reason for my trash-talking is to try and make you realise it’s not fun when someone does it to you. I don’t mean it and we’d love a good fight sometime. I’m sure you’ll school me in the rematch. So… when and where?

I’m disrespectful because you and most players here give no respect.
You whine and complain when things don’t go your way. You come up with asinine ideas for rule changes to “balance” the game that will hurt the community as a whole. You come up with every possible reason to blame someone else for your short comings and lack of foresight. The toxicity I have seen the past few months on this server is disgusting and you all need to grow the fuck up and start asking yourselves “what could I have done to have prevented, won, or escaped this situation?” If you can’t, then kindly keep your mouths shut and try get even. I personally am getting really tired of all this hate. I’ve got enough of that in my life.
Oh and if you feel that there are exploits being used, feel free to talk to an admin. Don’t bitch about it to the community on the forums.

UMC is still butthurt?
[/quote] Why would we be we said GG and all you guys could do was be satly about winning lmao.
[quote=“Mattcore37k, post:18, topic:6631”]
your base was admin choice
not Op4’s we wanted to finish looting them.
[/quote] lol mfgtfo you guys called the admin.
And in the end ofc they came when we where offline again.
It must feel good to offline raid and get nothing… We have all our stuff in the bunker so we are good.
Fenix was online when we started, even shot him down. Not my fault he went offline.
Well as usual you come over when we dont have people. its was about 6 in the morning when you startet raiding… Well have fun. You wont find anymore bases to raid.
I’m sorry, its PvP, are we supposed to wait for people to show up? I didn’t get the memo.
until OP actually works again no one is safe
Well if you where doing it once i wouldnt talk about it. but when you go over every night just to raid people that you know is offline its just a bad joke.
As i said. We dont care. we have the bunker so we are safe anyway.
The problem is that you are destroying pvp for everyone else. No one can be online 24/7. So No one is building bases.
In the end its the biggest reason that everyone lives in pve and destroying those fields.
But please tell me. Do you even have a base in pvp ???
Yes.
Don’t worry, its not a bunker either.
Bases are not permanent constructs. They are intended to temporarily fortify a location in favor of the defenders.
If your bases are dying while offline, to anyone including a carebears first adventure into pvp space, it is still working as intended.
It is not impossible to locate targets in space, either, and have them raided/destroyed/looted.
I am still calling OP4 out for a fight. Pick a day and time and we will try and be there.
Indeed.
There are too many free resources on the server.
For that, nobody can rightfully deny a duel.
They will never accept. they are cowards.
On a positive note we clean up after ourselves. Go me!

On a positive note - You will not find anything more to raid 
I hope you find it more fun flying around on empty planets.
Maybe you should go back to starters killing newbies. Thats seems to be the only thing you can do…
As I said I’m new to the server and it’s so funny, for the past two weeks I’ve been thinking OP4 were kind of a a big deal, at least with the way they talk on the forums. Is it all half-lie-half-truth, like your post TacoIsland? Yes I was online, no you did not shoot me down. You shot at me. Your 5 monster SVs did not destroy my HV or kill me. I positioned myself near my base turrets and you decided that was too much for you and so you attacked our neighbour instead. His faction was entirely offline so I guess that’s something you lot can handle.
2 wasn’t enough last time so Colin needed backup for his offline raiding… the 5th one’s behind me in the photo:
I’ve seen @Mattcore37k claim numerous times that OP4 is the most powerful faction in all of HWS. If that’s the case, why are you all so scared to fight when we’re online? And you’re so proud about offline raiding haha; such unashamed cowards. Hilarious!
Really, I can’t get over it. When your server is at peak pop you decide to come to EU at literally the quietest time to offline raid. I’ve never been to NA… but even if I did go for some reason, I know I have zero interest in going when all the action is going down at EU. Are you that scared of a fight that not only are you avoiding us… but the whole of NA too? 
On top of that, Colin’s telling everyone on NA that I have ‘no honor’ because 5 seconds before we destroyed his ship he typed in global chat that his ship bugged out . Honestly Colin, I didn’t see your message. Even if I had and your ship did indeed ‘bug out’ like you said it did… let’s say we let you repair any damage we had done and come back at us at full strength… I’m not sure what difference it would have made to the end result. Our two Class 1 SVs would still beat your Class 3 brick (even though in total they cost less than half as much as said brick). But as our faction keeps saying: let’s find out? Rematch? Name a time and place that works for both factions and we will be there.
In the mean time, feel free to offline raid us whenever you please. It’s all we’ve come to expect from you. We have recycle lvl 5 and could easily recycle it all every night so there’s nothing for you to raid, if we wanted. But it seems to amuse you and we need something to spend all these blocks on that we harvest from our enemies during the day, so do continue… if that’s all the challenge you’re looking for. Or be real men and fight when we’re online. Perhaps do both. It’s up to you

I see one of you in your photo (aka you), so why didn’t you defend? Instead you logged.
How about the other one that showed up and crawled out of you bunker fought for about 2 minutes before running back and logging asap?
Why did we destroy your neighbor first? Tactics. Don’t really care who it is either, as long as we cleaned up nearly everything you built up. Why? Because its PvP, and I can. Go ahead and recycle whats left (we didn’t leave much, no resources to be gathered there).
I’m sure we will be back every day just to wipe out anything around carebear cave, and I have no shame doing it. If you want to defend it, then be on to defend it, don’t log out when its starting either (ie today). Don’t have more people online at that time? See above. That’s the game, we lose bases from being offline, but we don’t go crying about it.
