I'm sorry, but light-handed "encouragement" schemes arent going to cut it this time. Anyone who has visited Gamma/Delta lately will understand what I mean when I say that we have a very serious problem on our hands.
I believe the only way to find a server-wide solution is by Admin intervention.
There are afew ways to do this;
1) Make it so that Battleships and Cruisers (and classes in-between) are only sold on bases in heavily defended guard systems.
2) Remove Battleship Licences from stock battleships (ie. batteries not included)
3) Remove Battleship Licences from all bases...ie. cannot be bought except from an Admin. Alternatively, make them extremely difficult to find.
4) Make it so that you can't undock without a BS License (so you have to get hold of one before buying a BS)

If Licences are made difficult to find, fewer unsuitable players (ie. players with no RP experience or sense of fair play) will be able to get their hands on functional battleships. Sale by admins allows Battleship use to be properly restricted by an objective party.

Making Battleships yet more expensive isn't going to stop these fools who seem to have an infinite supply of credits (I suspect foul play, quite often).

Another idea; Make a base (or bases) owned by the "Licensing Agency", a new faction hostile to all players (like the admin faction) but Neutral to anyone playing the Single-Player. This means, on the Singleplayer, you can still get your battleship, but on a Multiplayer server, you gotta get neutral with the Agency first.
Getting neutral with the agency (like Admin) is impossible, without Ioncross intervention...allowing administrators to control which accounts have access to the Battleship Licences. Again, point 4 above is a crucial part of this.
