I read, correct me if I'm wrong; you play this game because despite having learned anti authority is non productive, you still hate it which is the reason why you play games to escape it, for I guess what was in *** was probably a swear word to replace authority.
which leaves me confused.

1. I play this game to have fun.
2. Being told what you can and cannot do under the authority of a show of force is not fun.
3. I am 100% certain that I am correct and not biased because I used to be biased against all authority but learned as a human that it would lead me nowhere fast.

I guess it's time to start flying a liberty cap ship.
Anyone else?

How about picking Rheinland, Bretonia or Kusari instead of Liberty?

I'd scratch Rheinland off that list.

Already have a bretonia cap ship, no real desire to be kusari or RH.
Is it against the rules to fly a liberty cap ship, as long as I have only one BS?

*Sigh.* I already do. (The whole thing reminds me of one your statements actually Akumabito, as shown below.)
If you want to help people rp, help everyone rp and don't support pvp whoring as a method for server control. - Akumabito.

Why not Liberty?
Edit:
' Wrote:I'd scratch Rheinland off that list.
Why?

No. As long as it is not a BS or the carrier.

Why would the BS or carrier be against the rules? The rules limit you to a single BS, and that is the only restriction on cap ships, right?

jpo: A virtual world, designed for the most part to mirror a universe comprised of authority figures, outlaws, neutral parties, govermental coups, and everything else that makes Discovery what is it is, is just that. A virtual world designed to mirror a realistic world.
This isn't the most likely game to play to "escape". What constitutes leisurely fun for one, does not for the other. One may come here, trade their way to a battleship, then kill everyone they see. To them they say "Hey, I worked my way into this ship, and now I want to play this game like it was actually made: A space ship combat game."
The thing is, Discovery is different. It's made to be realistic (to it's own mythos) as much as it can be.
For that, it's anything but a "leisure game", so to speak. It's fraught with it's own grudges, diplomacy, wars, and everything else that goes with the real world.
So, complaining that it's too restrictive is a bit off kilter here. Some restrictions will be put in place if it makes the universe run better in the long run. If some toes are stepped on, that's sad, but I think there's a saying. "Ends justifying the means"?
