The Mollys - Feedback thread

[Dab]

We made the special ships (Odins and Arbeiters) shared so people would use Molly ships for their personal ships instead of those.

When everyone has access to those accounts and uses them regularly, that kind of defeats the purpose? You should be encouraging people to use their personal ships, not giving them all 100% access to use shared out-of-faction ships.

And you didn't answer my question, why do you need or have them?

As for the tech, Arbeiters and Odins are using their factions' weapons (Protectors/Destroyers and Natterturn Zweis)

You're forgetting that ships are balanced to their enemies, not all of Sirius. Arbeiters are balanced to fight other Rheinland ships. They are not balanced to fight Bretonian ships.

and very few members are using guns other than Trefoils on their Molly ships

There are no members using their Molly ships.

and as for the Lane Hacker tech, it's only used by the Wild Geese which are supposed to be out in the Taus/Omegas.

Maybe you should remind him.

I wouldn't say that Sabres are that common in [M] as the only ones I know are the 2 shareds and only one personal.

Yes, we know, the Odins are far more popular with the memberbase of your faction.

As for the ships we're using from the Molly shipline are mostly Greyhounds, Barghests. Rogue gunboats and Scyllas.

Now if only some of your membership would actually fly them.. Oh wait, Scyllas, yes, those ones are used. Could we see some of the others occasionally as well?



The issue here is not in that you share tec, but in the scope of your tech sharing and the utter absence of using your own. You have over a dozen ships from other factions, those being Sabres, Odins, Arbeiters, and LH GSs. These are all placed in shared accounts anyone can use. So, of course, that's all everyone ever uses. It's quite obviously for pvp reasons, most of those tech deals were brokered on Skype, not the forums, and in an OORP context, not an RP context.

If those ships were removed from shared accouts and used sparingly, like the SCRA did with their Odins after they received wide-spread criticism for doing much the same as what you are, then there wouldn't be an issue. Because they'd be seen occasionally, instead of constituting the bulk of your forces in every single encounter.

As it is, we see more Hessians flying with Molly IDs, than we see Mollys. And that is not how the Molly Official Faction should be behaving.
