-Indies basically give the middle finger and leave because they can't get their cap. Server activity decreases, Disco is doomed.
don't forget bombers pilots will also no longer need that ship,if bombers disappear as well then why have fighters?..we all will be flying in transports and fight each other in them and even pirate or be a police officers..because what will be the point of having other ship? [if you pirate in transport you'll ger cargo and have no enemies..if you are police in a transport ,you kill the pirate,get the cargo and sell it]
yup..it is very hard to achieve balance..
Anyway..
I don't think the problem is the ability to buy one if you want and shouldn't be restricted in any form ,but rather where to use
You have given a very good example of how not to use,aka LNS :
But the real problem is where and when to use it
As a navy officer you should not use a capital ship inside the house space[only at border worlds/systems or on the enemy house space]and you should not hunt in any form unlawful in your house space,that should only be dealt by police[right now it's pointless to fly a police id-ed ships because you get a better deal without it,aka no ships class limitation,twice the zone of influence(2 houses) then a police id] So..as a navy pilot you should only look for foreign enemy threat in your own house or in the enemie house
I 'll end here..someone was faster in typing..this isn't the post #3 as it should but #7
Totally agree with Jinx..indies are not the problem..but the official or unofficial are..i'll even go even further and say [ANGELS] as well..already got from two of them "pirating with Pirate ID is not RP at all,but killing navy is/terrorist",more or less this words..
People want to believe that God has a plan for them.
They don't wanna believe that anyone else does..
