Your reinforcement ISDs were still in no shape to make the jump to hyperspace. Reread the damages they sustained: especcially the parts about engine failure and power grids being blown out.
Your undamaged Defender Gunships (the ones in range, mind you) have a grand total of 10 missiles. They fired at the bow of the VSD, trying to strike the reactor.
*shrug*
I don't mind, but it's highly unrealistic that any would have penetrated.
You never specifically said no hyperdrive. You just said damage to engines. Meaning that it would be slower, but still able to jump to hyperspace. Of course, since you now want to press this, I'm going to be an ass and press my one advantage. I didn't want to press this before, since I was aware of my mistake, and felt that it was my fault. But now I'm going to press it.

Lastly, I think the groping for "Oh, he didn't raise his shields!" has gone too far. It's quite obvious that when an enemy war fleet enters a system, and there's a fully staffed battleship there to counter, someone would hit red alert. Allowing your opponent slack on having to dictate that every system is on in a certain sequential order is quintessential to having a healthy community like ours.
Jan, have you ever heard the idea of do unto others as you would have done unto you?
As far I'm concerned, since your "side" has been using this shield BS, we will to. And, as far as I'm concerned, it shall continue until the end of this "war".
GC itself has never used the shield BS(except at Mon Calamari, but it didn't matter, since Ion cannons pass through shields). We were even so kind as to say that we wouldn't use it against Chau at Farquak, despite it being used against us at Corellia. What ORS does is up to them. Oh, and you can't just ignore what Kas(a staff member) said, since it is official.
