House Police and Capital Ships

[RickJames]

I voted no.

The police have to deal with all sorts of criminals, terrorists, and pirates. And they all use Cruisers, Battlecrusiers, and Battleships. So..yeah. If the police ID were to change we would have to redo the whole faction system and I do not think thats a good idea or the best thing for admins and developers to be working on..changing the whole faction system and all.

The Navy folks are really around to defend the House from other Houses..for the most part. They also secure the borders of the houses so also fight all sorts of criminals, terrorists, and pirates. But House Police also need to be able to deal with the unlawfuls...and as long as they have tons of capships the police need them to.

If you limited the police to GB's or less then they would only be able to deal with about 50% of the problems they encounter. Or they would ALL be in GB's and we would not see any Police in fighters anymore since they would need swarms of GB's to take care of all the unlawful cruisers and BS's that are flying all over.

This is also my opinion of the various House Security factions.

Not saying this is a good thing or the way things should be. However, it is the reality of the situation given how many unlawful capships are in play at the moment.

Liberty was invaded just a few days ago by a large force of unlawful GB's, Cruiser's, and a BS. It took about an hour to find enough lawful Liberty or allied folks to get on in order to remove them. They were all hanging at Manhattan for about 30 minutes.

And today we had a Corsair Cruiser in NY.

I wish the police only needed GB's or less. But it would be very unbalanced at the moment with all the unlawful capships in play.

Least..thats my opinion of it from being in the LSF.
