Under Level Players ?

[Moriarty]

Shame everyone else can't see it though is it ? Something about having to have a low level ship to prove
a point. Its nothing to do with the ship, its down to how much money there is on the character.
If you want to fly Daggers and their contemporary ships, just drop a million on the char, problem solved.
It would stop the problem in an instant.
The rest is just a way round the guns not working on 29 and below ships ...

Hoodlum

Have to disagree with you there.
I am intentionally encouraging our Daggers to remain below level 30.
The reason?
Because otherwise every last "independent" non-clan lawful in Liberty comes after you because they see an easy kill. Some of them do it even when we are under level 30, as happened to me just within the last hour. Even some of the Liberty lawful clan members do so as well. I know this because we had it happening the first few days we were operational.
The only way our Lane Hacker clan system is going to work is if our Daggers have some measure of protection from the Ravens Claws, Ravens Talons, Avengers etc, not to mention the cap ships belonging to all the Bounty Hunters.
We are willing to accept the occasional abuser who targets us when we are under level 30, but only because the gains outweigh the losses. If we put enough financial value on our Daggers to make them viable targets to everyone (upgraded equipment of all types would do it without credits), then I can just about guarantee that we would drop that from our career system in a few days because none of our members would stand any chance at completing the other promotion criteria while running from every other player in sight.
Granted, I have gotten a lot of negative critiques from the community about that part of our system, but those who have joined are working it, and I think they are enjoying the challenge that practically no other clan here provides.

From our experience, an over rank 30 Dagger is the worst of both worlds, and doesn't solve anything.

All that said, PvP in NY in my opinion is the best way to go. There are advantages and disadvantages both ways, but I think the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

In any case, I am still waiting for a certain hoodlum to defect from [IND] and join the forces of Righteousness.
