suggestions to stop the pvp and capwhoring

Naw, you can have some of mine, they're buttered too ^^

So what's this?

[Linkus]

Discovery actually has some of the less strict rules in terms of RP than many many other roleplay servers. I came from Tides of War (Star wars total conversion) which was RP heavy and we had oh so many restrictions. Discovery almost seemed chaotic when I came here. Being able to buy whatever I wanted (within reason) and being able to fly around the FL universe again (Gets lonely in non-NPC star wars land:rolleyes:)

That's what makes Discovery so great though. It has combined the freedom and open ended-ness of Freelancer with some strengthening rules that allow for better RP and in the end, more fun. Not forgetting a heck of a lot of goodies to go oogle at too. Oh and of course the community that seems to work rather well even when some people are trying to tear it all down.

If everyone had maxed out Guard rep what would happen in the end is everyone being red to us or us being red to them as the average player is red to 8 of out of 10 guard factions the only way to get a guard system rep up into neutral quickly is bribing after that it's hard working for us the would be a non stop flow of corsairs headed into OC guard systems or vice versa. That scary-ass Rhineland danger music would never stop.

Actually, I have specifically made changes in my ID Proposals so that the Standard and Guard IDs both have advantages and disadvantages, so that everyone will not simply whore out the Guard IDs and only ever use them. Guard IDs cannot trade (except for IMG, Junkers and Zoners), fulfil bounty contracts (except for BH), escort traders or use transport class vessels (except for military/police lawful factions and Zoners, IMG and Junkers).

Ooops. This is different from what the ID proposal thread says. Will the real one please stand up? No non combat vessel of 500 cargo size or larger; that rules out the Prison Liner and Armoured Transport that I bought just for RP. No fair.

Can you clarify this kuraine?

I can indeed. I have changed my documents regarding the ID Proposals for sending them over to Igiss and Treewrym. I apologise, for I actually made a mistake in the previous post in this topic regarding the IDs (I can't remember every single ID off by heart XD). Bounty Hunter Guard ID may use Transports.

According to suggestions and balance feedback that I read in other threads, most people are not quite in favour of nerfing bombers and removing SigmaNew Berlin jump hole.

The jump hole will be relocated inside New Berlin (now as we drop SP campaign it will be possible). But moving it to other system, or removal... logical, but maybe it's better to rebalance related trade routes?

[Tenacity]

changing the commodity values could solve the problem there, but wouldnt do much for the cardamine/slave run that goes through alaska and omicron 100.

It makes sense as well that commodity values would change over time, I think kyushu has plenty of diamonds and rheinland has plenty of niobium now. Let's drop those prices and make something else valuable.

I really think a 'high profit' route needs to be added that goes somewhere through bretonia, it'd really liven up an otherwise 'dead' area.

Some smuggling routes should also be added between kusari and bretonia for both sides - running the 'blockades' to get resources to one side or the other and help their war effort.

The BHG Core cannot:

* Lawfully enter the Alaska system

Ok, this little discrepancy caught my eye from an otherwise good ID description. If the Core are not allowed into Alaska, then what are the BH destroyer patrols doing there? I don't see a good reason why the Core cannot be in Alaska.

The Guild is not a security threat to Liberty interests nor is it in the interests of the Guild to instigate a conflict with Liberty. In addition, both entities have the same common enemies: the Order and the Nomads.

There are no Capwhores.


Capwhores are a bedtime story told to naughty fighter and bomber pilots by their mothers who want them to conserve H fuel.


Its a myth, kinda like Zues, except with less lightning and facial hair.

hmm - will we have three IDs for other factions, too? - one that allows fighters and freighters ( normal ), one that allows up to gunboats and bombers ( guard ), and one that allows everything ( errr... more guard )

or is that - once again - a BHG special treatment?

or even nastier .. - what about traders... generic trader ( sorry, you guys have no guards ) = freighters....
cooperation traders ( normal ) = freighters
cooperation traders ( guard ) = transports ( but no liners )
cooperation traders ( whatever guard "super" ) = transports + liners

ok, i know its not meant to be like that - i know other factions will only have the normal and the super version. why is that not sufficient for the BHG. i still haven t figured out why the bhg has to be treated differently from the other factions. - i mean a real reason, other than "i don t like them" or "they are all whores" - is there something in the lore that suggests ( you know - a reason that is put down in their roleplay ) that they are split into 3 parts? - or ... in all honesty, is it just the fear of everyone not playing BHG that they enjoy too much freedom.
