I'm taking a leak...

[Trogdor]

I was seriously hoping for a wipe and several other fixes with that too like:
- Caps removed from certain factions that should not have them
- Caps restricted to official factions (and their numbers restricted to lore amounts
- 5kers restricted to officials
- Bases restricted to officials / SRP

Totally had my hopes up too, I mean it would stop a lot of the current abuse going on the server.

So basically, you want only a handful of the handful of people we have playing this game, to be able to play with any of the good stuff.

BRILLIANT.

I dont consider caps, 5kers or bases 'good stuff'. Regardless it doesn't really restrict anyone from getting them. It just means that they have to join an official faction to get em and that if something goes wrong the admins have clear sight over who did something wrong and can punish effectively. It would reduce the amount of rule breakings significantly as abuse is punished hard, increases the level of RP and stops indies from rampaging around the server unpunished.

Regardless it doesn't really restrict anyone from getting them.

Yes, because removing caps from factions that (in your opinion) should not have them, and restricting the number of caps even the official factions can have, TOTALLY doesn't restrict anyone from getting them.

increases the level of RP

Actually it decreases the level of RP, because now we have more people that want to roleplay capships, than we have capships to give them.

I consider myself to be a decent roleplayer, but under your rules I would not be able to roleplay any capships, because I refuse to join any official factions. I don't like how they're run, and I think they make poor decisions; like helping to build bases that can turret-camp the jumphole to one of our home systems, and pissing off entire houses so they're ID-lock hostile to us.

Hell, under your view, we might as well revert to vanilla FL.
