Well, there's nothing wrong with unlawfuls winning. However, the problem comes when these victors take to camping bases.
Plus, in RP, in Liberty, the lawfuls win...all the time...eventually. And unlawfuls doesn't base camp.
Another downside to unlawfuls winning is the tend to group and mass together, effectively controlling New York until they get bored and leave. This drives a lot of traffic away from New York and divides the system into two groups...the unlawfuls...and a bunch of underlevels....with no one else around. That's not very fun.

I hear you, but so is getting two cruisers and a gunboat on your butt while in your tiny fighter/bomber. So which perspective wins out here? Which one overrules the other?
It's a tough decision, but what you propose otherwise?:(
Quote:The High Command will watch those that we approve, and if others who are responding here now actually bothered to bloody read the start of the thread, or the actual RP announcement of it, they'd know that we already have about 8-10 indies allowed to operate in Liberty, and that they only need to PM us a story and if its not utter crap, we will allow them to fly on a trial period in which we'll watch their in game RP. That is all. It's not particularly hard to understand now, is it?
Yes, and it makes me furious. As I have mentioned I have put up with infinite shoddy attempts at role play and impropper upholding of the law from the [LN] both Indy and tagged and the tagged ones want to keep adding control devices to control MY role play even more when theirs isnt even on point to begin with.
well, Orin, before linking to lose or not, Jimmy and I basically don't enjoy flying fighter. I know its somewhat silly for a game made for fighters, but once I've known the comfort of relative safety in a capship, I just hate leaving it.
Also, it might be a very bad attitude I have, but I don't like losing. That's part of me. Reason why I disconnect right afterward I die usually. Otherwise I know I wont act rational.
However, base defence gaining a boost in their weaponnery is encouraging to me. I think it could solve some problem. If you dont feel like fighting, you may always take cover under these.
edit: as to jpo, I seriously dont know how you manage to be so furious. I've been there and never had such trouble with the LN for instance. I even ocasionally ordered some of them around when no one ranked superior to myself. never had problem.
Nothing wrong with not liking to lose, or only liking capships. My point is that these things are selfish (not in the bad way, heh), and suited to certain peoples' opinions and feelings. This should not influence decisions made for the attempted all around better of the community.
This whole thing is a desperate attempt to make flying in Liberty, pirate or otherwise, fun for all. Is it really so bad to have to work on RP and in game actions so that the indies can continue flying their capital ships? This is an RP server, so I wouldn't think so.
@Xing, its pretty difficult. I don't like control devices, and I especially dont like them when they aren't part of the rules. When I was younger, I hated authority. Age taught me that anti-authoritarianism is futile. So now I deal with it as best I can, I can honestly say it is a lot more productive. Making pseudo-rules enforced by guns is about as counterproductive as you can get. Its also the number one downfall of this planet.
I play video games to escape that ****, not experience on an e-level also. If the liberty Navy wants to punish people thats great. Learn to do it on an individual basis and learn not to abuse it before you include everyone in your little game.

as such, our winning rate were medium... but Jimmy was on more often than I, and his lone gunboat couldn't do much. So, despite the fact it is a game, human nature doesnt like losing.
not true there were sevral ln on at sometimes and they were to busy in conn never told me if they had allready engaged them or anything just ignored me or said training or something
