I agree that most of the flaming on the forums is do to players telling other players how to RP. Making rules about this could very well help. However limitations in equipment and ship availability to some NPC factions will prevent anyone from being part of that group or use out of RP equipment to be competative. I see a natural answer to this is to make more weopons and ships to fill in the gaps of these factions options. That or change the cards on the most tactically important ships and weapons so they are allowed by everyone. (I imagine the RH Bombers card saying that after mass production of the bombers occured, an entire shipment was stolen by the Red Hessians and they now produce and sell it to anyone willing to pay them) <-a joke

But only if Igiss makes:
-A battlerazor sold on each house capital planet, with an infocard about it and how that house designed their own. I also think that you could take the RH BS station heavy turret into a battle razor for Rheinland, same for the other houses
-A Inferno Cannon with the same as the BR stated above ^^^
-Class 9 and 10 guns made avliable for purachase on ALL the factions main bases. This would solve many RP problems.
-Fighter sheild busters for more then just the civilians and the Corsairs.
If we can get more people who have a knowlegde of Modding skills, we can pull this off. DAB! You made Vessppucci! Make us some guns and sumbit them to Igiss!

*it's not me this time:P*
first of all, people, just why it is so imperative to have shieldbusters and why the whole lot of you don't know about the ADV. DEBILITATOR for example?
I don't have an 'S' of a shieldbuster on most of my fighters. I need one shot more to kill a fighter's shield, but I need two/three shots less to kill your hull.
Think about it!

I know about the Advanced Debilitator, I use it on some of my ships, its just that we needmore sheild busters for different NPC factions, to add variety.
IM bumping this ebcause we need more people to sign it.

Well after some thinking and reading I'll be signing this thing.
I was on a server that had a rule; "do not tell other people how to roleplay". I don't know how good of a rule it was for that server, or if it is a good idea for this one, but it is an idea. This would also stop a majority of the ooc argument threads. Of course this rule requires aditional rules to be implemented to work properly, and I don't have a suggestion for what they may be.
Just a thought...

I've said it once and I'll say it again....
High level stuff (i.e. >= 9) should only be available from Guard bases.
This ensures a player RP's correctly, or be stuck using crappy equipment and getting vaped. This goes for freelancers and loners (who won't be PvP'ing anyway under the current rule structure), as well as unaffiliated pirates and PvP ho's (is there a difference?)
As for shield-busters, well they are really only necessary for capship or transport killing. For killing fighters a high-level normal gun does the trick IMOH:D

Well onca there are Freelancers and that is RP, whereas I agree with the idea in concept. It may or may not help. Perhaps Class 9s should only be sold on Faction MAIN bases and make it so you need almost a full green bar to purcahse said items...

Maybe make the battle razor and inferno and shield killer of generic weapon with each house having there own "brand" of it.
Liberty battle razor and infernos could be well-rounded.
Kursari battle razors and infernos, shield killers, could use less energy but do less damage
Rhienland battle razors and infernos, shield killers, could do more damage but have shorter range
Bretonia could have battle razors and infernos, shield killers, that have more range but use more energy.
Then have like a generic pirate battle razor and inferno which would be the same as liberty but does a little bit more damage and has a better range. As a side effect it is more expensive.
Just a suggestion...
Open Letter To Discovery Community - Qunitinius~Verginix - 02-11-2007
I like the sound of that ultra! We just need to get Igiss to make them now! Or better yet, we can do it so its gets put in the game really quickly!

Alright guys. Verg... About the Rheinland bomber thing. You weren't here, nor was i at the time, but if you ask a veteran, or look very far back in the forums, you will find a role-play story about how the AW courageously steals a large shipment of ships and weapons from the RM.
Dontcha think that our very close allies would let us have some of these "borrowed" ships?
