' Wrote:There should be some restriction to what can a faction ask in return from you. Perhaps you would have to wear a tag, LH-i (lane hacker indy), some kind of roleplaying test, one should not be allowed to demand money from indies to buy it. Perhaps requiring indies to bring in resources hull panells and such to construct it, might be required. One can get very creative with that and I think it is in our best intrest to limit cap ships.

Nothing is more tiresome than a destroyer cruising up to your behind and start blasting, one could be out all day reporting the mute engagements and play very little,... and after all would be sorted, capwhores would come in with "Engaging Santa" and after that they would even be void of sanctions, without a noticable increase in roleplay quality.

There should be a test, wich factions would then enforce, to possible future owners of capital ships.

Quote:The fact is, factions have demanded money from independents to fly their ships, which highlights the abuse that can occur as a result of your proposed system. Even if the rule of not demanding credits was put in, cronyism and personal attitudes can come into it (And most probably, they will.)

' Wrote:Again. Regulate it. JUST LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE has been regulated, we could give the factions something to differentiate themselves with again without stepping on anybody's toes but the bleeding hearts and anarchists (of which there are a very vocal minority).

I'd like my balls back, plox.

Quote:The biggest problem that occurs when given the power is factions go beyond insuring common sense is used and enter into prohibiting any role play they don't prefer. In effect, they tell players how they must play or short-sheet them so they can't.

No flame responses please--have seen it happen first hand on multiple occasions here.

Quote:The fact that you label all that do not agree with you as bleeding hearts and anarchists says a lot, as previously you used to label them trolls.

' Wrote:No, dear, I just labeled you and Akuma trolls. He's been banned (and retains his troll status); you've been upgraded to your own special category as an idealist who can't be convinced he's wrong. Everybody else who disagrees with me can generally be divided into Logical Argument Which Comes Down to a Difference of Ideals, People Who Had Some Trauma Somewhere Down the Line And Thence Can't Be Convinced Out of Their Position, and Poltroons.

Admissions by anybody-including Administrators-that the rules are perfect are incorrect. NO system is perfect. It has to be seriously augmented (and, in our case, rebuilt from the ground up). I simply think a regulated Faction control is the simplest solution to the cap RP problem.

' Wrote:Oh, no, there is no doubt in my mind that my classification of you is polarized and simplified. I'm simply sick and tired of dealing with your crap, which, as far as I can understand it, is so far to whichever end of the political spectrum you may be that you're a hopeless case, and I'm not going to bother trying to please one person with absolutely no bearing on this game world excepting a Buckley-esque vocabulary used to coerce people.
