Order Rep only changeable by Admins and Trail ID ?

[Drakaisyl]

I just want to ask you,if that wouldn't be the best to decrease the numbers of Gebs/Osiris.I thought about it because the most of the curret Order indies just choose Order side for the big three reasons: a) Geb,the overpowered BC, b)Bastet and c) Nom nom weapons.Maybe Iam wrong but I had situations where Indies told other indies,when they wanted to buy a Cruiser,not to take the Recon but the Geb,because it is OP.So my suggestion was,why don't you make it like it is for the Keepers and the Nomad trail ID ? These one,who have a propper RP and don't join the Order for the main three reasons I mentioned above,could Join the Order| and you could be sure,they have a RP and not the roaming around PvP junkies to get their blue messages.

So what do you think about it ?

The geb is hardly overpowered, a pair of even below average bomber pilots can take one out.

A) Not really, B) & C) Same as A.

Maybe some people just enjoy playing as Order indies, and I voted "No" about Order becoming like Keepers. Thing is, there should be more order pilots then blue creepy aliens. Making Order like Keepers... Well, just doesn't sound right.

Edit: About GEB. It's not overpowered at all, experienced hunter Battlecruiser pilot can take down GEB without any problem.

But you either follow our rules here and work with us - or STFU and GTFO.

While I dislike the amount of Order capital ships floating about, I don't think this is the answer to 'fix' that. Also, wait and see. Something might change in 4.86, since the Order lose Toledo and a large part of their fleet...

Well, I don't want the Order to become elitist faction. And another SRP-only ID'd give admins too much work. I'd say, make it like Colonial Remnant ID. If we like your RP, why cant you use some stuff? Heh.

What does PvP have to do with this?

[Birdtalon]

I'm sure I said this is a bad idea in the Order chat.

In my honest opinion? I wouldn't mind either way - sure it'd be nice to have all shiny gold RPers in the order. But all the factions have to deal with "troublesome" players.

I don't think the order is special enough to justify such a step. Otherwise we would have needed to do the same with other factions in the past. Outcast, Corsairs and Liberty Navy are coming to my mind.

Go play the game, within the given limitations. That is how role play games are played. Not by trying to work around those limitations or whining about them.

Most of the 'new' Order indies go with Caps... Gebs and Osirises.
Most of the 'new' Navy indies go with Caps... LABCs and Dreads.
Most of the 'new' Sair Indies go with Caps... Cruisers and Legates.
Most of the 'new' Cast indies go with Caps... Battleships and Dreads.
Most of the 'new' indie players go with Caps... No matter what faction.

So I'm afraid this is not the solution. New Players just like Capital Ships cause they think they are so Uber and flying a Cap means they are better than the [LN] Admiral who flies a Fighter. But they'll learn sooner or later, so why push things on them? Keeper ID is restricted because it is much of a 'Terrorist ID', so if it goes Public, anyone can grab one and shoot anything that moves, thus, It is restricted to the 'Chosen Few' who fly under Keepers Tag, and the rest, must fly Trial ID first (Which says "Cannot Engage anyone unless in Self-Defense") So it won't cause Chaos... But I don't see why there should be "Order Trial ID" and "The Order ID", because situation with Order Indie Caps is much like any other faction's Capitals. Order is just Slightly more populated because many of those who play Single Player then move to server think of Order as an 'Uberkewl Secret Agency blah blah' and like being in Order. Many of them just move on after a month or two, thats for sure.

So, I voted No. Although trying to figure a way to 'Limit' Capital Ships is a good move, but this is not how it should be done.
