Offtopic. That's not what i meant Teschy. It's another discussion, but one I saw earlier today. LN BS are allowed to (as far as I understand) restrict Z21, from traders. If that is rule lawyered then I will need to ask the Admins to clarify that. Again.

---on topic---
I don't really have anything else to add at the moment.

The same place I always stand.

At the front row of independents who will defend their rights.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Kinda split between Option 1 and Optiion 5

Option 1 is good and all... But I've seen more LABCs than I have Dreadnoughts and Carriers. (That said, this would only solve 50% of the capspammage by possible lolwuts) It also prevents the indies who actually RP their ships instead of going:
"lol, my shipz biggur than urs, pew pew."

Option 2, while it creates an opening for those who can have such a ship without it going to their head, doesnt solve BC Spammage which iv seen moreso than BS Spammage.


My Option 5 (Other): Option 2 Extended to allow the restriction of Battleships -and- Battlecruisers.

---------------------------------------------------

If I could say it without going overboard, I'd say allow factions to restrict use of all capital ships, making those incapable of RP / Fairplay while using a cap, have to use a fighter classed ship.

But.... I cant so I leave it at that.

Did you miss my post?

yeah man, bring your bombers out. But lets say I'm trading and i see a bs, and he engages me and i flee and dock. I can't really take out my bomber and own him, because that means I'm oorp and sanctionable.

So I have to get two friends to own him, or more if we are in bombers only, and I can't even help. And then guy tries to run, docks to JG and starts screaming "DOCK KILL DOCK KILL REPORT" when we finally blow him up.
Vicotry! By that time, 3 or 4 traders passed by and snickered at my failure to pirate them, because guess what... OC BS decided to "hop by"

If you're trading and you see a BS, pass right on by.
If he attacks you, or demands money, report him, since Battleships are not allowed to attack traders, unless terrorist or Phantom. Plain and simple.

6.20 Attacking traders or demanding cargo is not allowed for cruisers and battleships, unless cruisers and battleship belong to Terrorist ID or Phantom ID owner.

Try again.

Ok Nooblet. Then I can send you all the reports about indie caps being oorp and complain directly to you? Will you solve it?

But I am pirating in my ptrans.

Plus Battleships don't have CDs, so they can't stop you in the first place...

The way I see it, the positives of restricting capital ships to factions, or faction control are far outweighed by the negatives of doing so. Stop blaming them for all your problems, cause the real culprit is not the ship, it's the player behind it.

I voted option two. (Faction + well known and trusted characters)

We have way too many independents out there, who aren't capable of proper BS RP.

If I was given that power, I would have no problem with taking on that duty. (I would also have no qualms about kicking idiots out of any ships they were abusing, not just a capital ship.)

Edit: Just make sure my power extends to factionalised ships as well.

Stop being a dumbarse.
Send the reports to the admins and let them sort it out.
That's what they are there for.

The only way this is ever going to go away is through education and coaching. Not rules.
Some of the education will have to come from being sanctioned. Others will change because they were mentored.

All of that takes time (and ingame player relationships/trust). And this is still not as big an issue as the forum-ites make out to be.
