Why do zoners have cap ships?

[Huhuh]

If people didn't want them, people wouldn't be flying them.

And where would you stop with the plot regression? As I already mentioned, if you're going to take all of this stuff away, why not just revert to vanilla FL?

It's not about halting plot progression, it's about realism (laughable I know).

If I had my way, all caps excluding house military would be SRP (or restricted in some other way, not requiring the same level of RP as a SRP). That would help balance cap to snub numbers to more believable amounts.

Considering freelancer was once a snub and freighter game, a lot of people loathe those craft in favor of big guns, which makes me wonder why they even played freelancer.
