Capital Ships and the Future of Discovery RP 24/7

@OP

you are fixated at indies.

- a great majority of indies ( which is actually a great majority of the sever population ) have never done - and would never do anything bad. - some of them fly snubs, some of them caps. but it may show that their choice of ship does not affect their negative impact on the server.

so - do not paint all indies as "the bad ones". you only create a very unhealthy "us" vs. "them" attitude.

I take that point in completely, but you've missed that I was implying indie cap pilots. So your point about non-cap ships is irrelevant I'm afraid.

furthermore - snubs cause as much - if not more problems to the gameplay - which is no surprise - cause there are more snubs.

players suffer from "selected perception" though. you really just see what you expect to see - and you fail to see whats right in front of you, if it does not match your expectations.

Ok, let's use an example:
My cruiser is parked next to the NY gate in the California system. LNS-Justice, a Liberty Navy Assault BattleCruiser, jumps out the gate. He opens fire on me without saying a word.
I die, due to the silent engaging taking me completely by suprise.
The LABC is a crimminal in this case because it's a powerful ship in the hands of a fool who does not know what he is doing. Due to the lack of RP my cruiser kicks the bucket.

Now then, for this example:
My cruiser is parked next to the NY gate in the California system. LNS-Dusk, a Liberty Navy Guardian, jumps out the gate. He opens fire on me without saying a word.
I just simply laugh because a VHF is trying to solo my cruiser.

As you can see, because the LABC is more powerful it's much more of a threat.

some smallish faction trying to SRP transports over 3000, cause they cannot fly them anyway - and at least they can get back at those nasty big corporations that totally abuse the big ships and make way more money?

That's irrelevant because it's completely out of context.

also - if you travel the omicrons or edgeworlds - it would be highly ooRP to see ppl flying around the systems in fighters. - it is in fact inRP to see ppl to fly around in at least destroyer sized vessels, cause ...

remember : traversing a system takes weeks if not months inRP - and you really don t wanne sleep where you fly, where you eat, where you crap.

Ok, you got me there. That's realistic inRP. However, you could use a freighter for that. I do see your point though, but we could still make those ships SRP'd.
