where is cap ship whoring??? EVERY FRIKKING PLACE.
AND WHO JUST SAID A BATTLESHIP SHOULDNT HAVE FIGHTER BUT GUNBOATS. because you deserve to be slapped shot and thrown out a 20 story window then banned and thrown into hell its people like that that are the spammers
Dude..you need to lay off the caffeine.
And I said BSs do not need Fighter escort. They should have gunboat escort. That is my opinion and I think it makes a lot of RP sense.:)
As for me being a spammer.huh?
I have one capship. The next biggest ship I ever had was a destroyer and that was also on RickJames. 90% of the time I am in Orbit of Crete. I have been to Alpha twice in my Osiris. I flew around the Omega systems today for about 30 minutes. Then went back to Crete. Ive been in PVP with my Osiris about 6 times in 3 weeks. I have blown up I think 5 people in it since I got it 3 weeks ago.
If thats capship whoreing/spamming please give me some parameters on what you think is acceptable.

I also have a trader in a whale with no weapons. [ZR]-The-White-Rose who wanders all over sirus. =LSF=Serpico who wanders all over Liberty in a VHF. And I'm working on Aubury who will be some kind of criminal who will fly around liberty in a fighter to be a pain in my LSF friends bottoms.

dude.
I have 20 characters.
2 transports
8 fighters
5 bombers
4 gunboats
and only 1 Destroyer.
DO you see a BS in that list? no. Why? I dont like them, and currently dont need one, and it would be OORP for me to get an independant BS.
Just because you have 3 other chars is not a liscence to own one.

*sigh*
not caffine bud,
i am sick of people like this that seem to think using more gb's over fighter's is alright, this IS a rp server not get the biggest best ship you can get and whore everyone you see. you prove my point when you say i just think gunboats would be better than fighter's. it makes no RP sense at all. infact its the most illogical thing that you could say in such a thread, plus earlier in a nutshell you say the best way to fix the capship problem is........get more capships them thought REALLY need to be weeded out of everyones head's because its whats dragging everything down with it. i am not saying abolish your cap ship i am saying keep em to a fare and RP worthy limit. its already been brought to me this rule cannot be made because of policing issues but it doesnt mean to say we can't try and do something about it ourselves and get a bit better RP on the go other than doing anything in your way to win because thats all they are used for to procure a win its just completely wrong and spoils the game for everyone who go out of they're way to try and do something to help things.
its my opinion and a lot of other i would like to think the majority of other's but it needs to be drilled into the heads of people that seem to think bringing a stupid amount of cap ships to kill a fighter is RIGHT. you don't see us in real life taking in a full blown fleet of warships to kill a small squadron of incoming fighters do you NO. thats the point im making

' Wrote:also a great example because 90% of them will bring out a gunboat ^^ sorry mate its true in every shape manner of form the only ones that dont spam them is SCRA and like 3 TBH member's if your lucky
EVERY SINGLE independent corsair uses a gunboat disagree as you wish because i know you all blind to your own men.
yes yes yes every independent outcast uses a destroyer before you say it i know. no one is innocent in this matter because every faction spam's the living crap out of the things it is annoying cheap and really damn unsportmanship like "i don't like fighters" don't play fl then because there wasnt any such thing as cap ships at the beginning. its not a case of you don't like its a case of what should be used boys n girls. i HATE cap ships i hate my destroyer i hate my frikkin battleship. i use em once and a blue moon WHEN THEY ARE REALLY NEEDED. you dont invade a system with 5 gunboats 1 battleship and 1 fighter TO KILL ONE FRIKKIN FIGHTER. ITS CHEAP NASTY AND PROVES MY DAMN POINT. especially when you message dump it and BRAG about it of all thing's. i seriously dont think a guy who has one char a osiris can truly understand anything.
We Unioners do not own a Gunboat, although it is nownder review basically becase of the gunboat spammage that goes on. Please forgive my arrogance but I can take almost anyone in a fighter. I grow tired of pilots relying on heavy ships to live probably a unpoular opinion?
Oh if Caylith reads this I would very much like a one on one as you rquested some night's ago. Fighter PVP is the ultimate thrill in Fl!
I have some fantatstic fights with RM, a faction that relies on fighters.. People should respect that. I have taken on 4 RM and a Bounty hunter destroyer alone and lived to tell the tale. If you honestly need a cap to survive then you are unworthy of one.

The thread had a good start, with working parameters for the faction leaders. After five pages it was just another slaughter of people who love Battleships and people who love the rest and people with no meaning and experience, like me.
There would be one really working limitation only: Remove the Capships from Disco RP and let them for SP only.
End of discussion.

No I do not believe a total ban of Caps is the solution. Just that people have moved away from what is most important in FL on Disco or any FL server. Good RP combined with skill, all these caps is suckage amplified.
To quote another thread "HAHAHAH!"

I thought he was saying I only have 1 character and all I do is fly around in my Osiris.

I know I may have went to far but in essence FL is a space figher combat simulation! I am not saying ban the amazing CAPS Igliss has give us! Just remember what FL is. Disco is the best mod and the RP server is the best server I have ever played on. I am a four year FL veteran and honestly. This is the best we have ever had. Mega Kudos Igliss!
