So, bases

[Soul Reaper]

To retaliate.

In my opinion this is not a real roleplay based server, however due to everyone assuming it is, I'll play along with them. Now, bases were made to be..bases, not ships. With your mindset of "abuse", we should take down the Missouri, no? I mean, people can't take that thing down at all and it's only a battleship, but it saves fleet's lives from them rheinlanders, and is a point that is easy to defend, should we take that down too?

TAZ is the authority of their system only if they can hold that authority, just by saying "yeah it's ours" doesn't make it theirs roleplay-wise, they'll have to defend their claim, thus, their station.

Now let's go on to ZA and your assumed "authority". NO ONE owns Omicron 74 according to the admins, it is not a single player faction's system and it probably never will be. It might be a Zoner Guard system but let's remember that there is no Zoner central government so each NPC station in there would probably have their own leaders and so on. Now let's get to the roleplay side of things. The ZA wanted to "control traffic" in 74, so they constructed their bases, now again PoBs were built to act like a BASE, not a ship, they're NOT supposed to die once fully constructed, because normal NPC bases DON'T die. So the ZA used their resources to build their stations as well as keep supplying them.

Now let's come to your reasons of thinking this is wrong. Order authority? Who gives single shit about the Order? Are you kidding me? They died, they have no real damn fleet and this is freaking Omicron 74 we're talking about, they have NO real power, anywhere except maybe 100/Mu/Zeta (again, roleplay wise). So the Order trying to take down a well defended guard system? Yeah ok.

Locking down the system somehow makes it..not ok...because? Exactly, there's no real reason except for the fact that they wanted to, and they have the power to do so, you're crying powergame because they have many members that are active and powertrading to get resources up and online, what's wrong with that? Are people jealous of this? Sorry but I'd rather not have rules put into place just to make it fair for (in example) a 3 man when going against a 10 man and active faction.

Now if people do think that's somehow wrong, I return to my first opinion that this is not a roleplay server, in roleplay (which is obviously based off of life, because there's no where else to base it out of) nothing is fair yet people want it to be fair and then they tell everyone that it's roleplay? K.

And now back to "taking over the system", they have the manpower, they have the activity and the resources to take it over, and no one contested them. So I don't see a problem? People -can- take what they want, if they didn't, how is this a roleplaying game?

Edit: Oh and, they "locked down" the system? You ever actually been to 74? The weapon platforms are way too far from any of the holes to create any real problem for any ship passing by. Not sure how that's a lockdown game-wise.
