I'll step on up.
Anyone that can afford a big ship, should be able to have them.

My Opinion -
Require permission from the dominant PC faction.
Since they're the ones who will have to put up with their ships flying around, with either good or bad RP attached to them.

hm, guys, - i think it was made clear that there will be no restrictions, no matter what you say or how many polls you make. anyway - put them in a guard system is fine.. so there are less people without the proper rep. - but i would really much more appreciate if people stopped yelling at people having them. THAT would be an improvement.

1 problem: only for factions is elitism, and all factions have bs only for high ranks.
2 problem: what pc faction make when someone buy bs without permission?kill him? and what then? he leave home system and stay in other system.
3 problem: the same as problem 2. what you make when someone buy bs.
4 one of the best idea,but make bs as equipment,that you will be able to buy one only with full guard rep.(as ID) and that can solve problems with reputation,because when you make lot of missions,your enemies are in red.
5 problem: when someone rade 2 weeks for bs,he will trade another 2 for have enough money
6 problem: it was fine before group of cap whores start ruin fun from game for other players.
7 problem: more bs? more cap fights? still is bigger funny fight in small ship as in bs.
so my opinion is move them to guard systems, and sell them only if player has full guard reputation.

i voted for "make them more expensive"
you guys have no rights to tell another member what they can and can not fly.
as long as they follow the rules laid down by Discovery they are fine.
This is another example of bully boy tactics by members who think they should has something that no one else can have.
such a restriction will kill the fun for some while may stop a handfull of PvP abusers.
Sorry Guys this is silly.
Cheers

you got the point Buldog... thats what I say too. Small napoleons want command more players than they can now:nono:

My preferred option, making anything larger than a gunboat require permission from admins, much like the Terrorist ID, isn't there.
I abstain.

I've not voted on this, for the simple reason that I don't think there is s solution to the capship 'problem'. There are far to many battleships flying around, but making it harder to get one wouldn't stop that. If someone really wants a BS they will jump through all the hoops you place in front of them. Even if it means that they have to *shock horror* write an RP for it, they will still do it and you will find yourself with just as many BS's as before.
If someone can find a way of dealing with this that both encourages people to get on the forums AND reduces the already vaguely elitist feeling hat there is to disco then we will have a winner, but as yet i don't see it.
The closest thing to an 'ok' solution is the elected body of players (not admin) who reviews the RP of all the independant BS's but even this promotes in group/out group behavior...
