' Wrote:I honestly have no problem with standing my own in a fight, the posts about 'being unfair' etc were by my members, not me. The main issue at hand was people telling us to ditch capital ships and just use nothing but fighters, which was stupid and simply would fill our RP agenda. As well I'm sure I saw someone post that we were to be underdogs anyway, which sounded stupid as imo, no faction should be set in stone. If they want to rise above the rest they should be allowed to if they're capable of it. It leads to interesting RP, I know, I've been part of servers were a mafia for example, ran the whole she-bang, it led to some seriously interesting role plays. What I'm saying is that exactly, if you can, you should be allowed to. I'm not saying that if the PVP gods smashed into the system and murdered everyone and became "the best" that it should be allowed, hardly. I'm saying if they literally rose up, in roleplay, they should be allowed to? That's all I'm saying.
Well no one really said you shouldn't use any capital ships at all. My point was just this: GMG should be less of "NAVY FLEET" type super-power. That would be OORP IMHO. Reasons you stated for using cap. ships were mostly: "everyone else uses those, we need the upper hand, we need to PWN corsairs and pirates". Again IMHO, those are NOT the right reasons. If someone really wants to OMGWTFPWNs pirates, I suggest forming a "house" navy or military faction.
About GMG vs RM war in Sigma, I'll have to emphasize yet again: Fact that GMG defeated RM navy, hardly means GMG had to have their own navy or fleet of capital ships to do so! It's more likely, they used unorthodox tactics, explosive gas clouds and such to win over Rheinland fleet. If you're looking for "proof", visit Sigmas and you will see, that ALL CAPITAL ship wrecks belong to Rheinland fleet. If GMG had their own fleet, at least some of their own cap. ships would be destroyed, and wrecks would be left to be seen. GMG vs RM is a story about "David and Goliath". So don't try to make it into a story about "Goliath vs even bigger Goliath".
Ultimately:
Limit capital ship use, narrow ship list, give up "lootable weapons" idea, and your good to go...
