ian you say let them be. but you know how big fun from game you have when you will try pirate in fighter and after while you have 2 bs on tail? or when you fly as police somewhere and in some moments hunt you 2 bs?
maybe i am also cap whore i have my private dread,and i love it,but i will not fly with it through all systems only to find someone who has less firepower and armor to show him who i am.
it is not about ships who can and who can not buy them,but about that how and where the people will use them.

i dont know how fun it is(i am suspecting it is as fun as watching paint dry BUT some people do enjoy the chase) but if i seen a pirate being chased by two ships that are a cruiser of bigger i would not bother engaging either because it is severly overkill to chase 1 pirate in a fighter in huge hulking ships that could take it out in one shot if they wanted too and would be really unfair to the pirate, even if s/he is scum ;)

myself i am seriously thinking of creating a fighter/bomber/gunboat character and use them most of the time just to help in fights without acting like a brick wall that my enemys have to try and get through before they get to the person i am protecting or my allies.
i have my Flagship now (the Endeavor) and all i need to do is settle on a weapon system i am happy with and fix my tag and its good to go

One thing that comes to mind is that most people nowadays fly Battlecruisers or Destroyers/Cruisers. This is simply because they generaly cost a fraction of the price, don't need a liscense and are more agile and maneuverable while retaining similar firepower (espescially battlecruisers).

what Battlecruiser did you have? :s the battlecruiser i have isnt agile and only has 2 battleship turrents, it is basically a big clunky (as in old and not very manueverable) cruiser with 2 extra turrent points that doesnt really add much to my overall damage the only benefits i have had is when warning people to go away instead of trying to pirate me by saying "do you seriously want to risk your life and ship against Battlecruiser? this ship makes your ship look as big as an ant and with this i could probably crush you as one aswell, so the question is, do you feel lucky? punk!" (haha yes it is cheesy but it does work half the time :cool:) and the other one is the armour, i have been saved a few times by the amount of hull armour it has

i am all in favour of the Admins to implement licenses for any ships bigger than a gunboat
