BHG capital ships

[Jinx]

to clarify things up:



take away BHG capital ships:

"no" cause they are part of their roleplay. without capital ships, there is no war with the order. capital ships are what they use in the search for nomads in the outer systems. they do not use them to collect bounties, but thats up to the person flying them - or RP becomes too restricted in terms of freedom of character.

capital ships are the guildcores ships. they do not care much for bounties, cause they receive the share from the bounties from the countless NPC hunters and the PC hunters in small ships.



if you remove BHG capships, remove them for pirates aswell, simple as that. a pirate most often doesn t RP how to maintain his ship either. so we don t want double standards on BHGs vs. pirates just cause ppl are annoyed at the BHG capital ships. at least - in terms of roleplay, the BHG caps have a specific purpose, - thats more than most of the pirate capital ships that server no purpose at all in terms of what the faction builds them for.



about BHG policing on behalf of lawfuls:

lawfuls sort of made it so that BHGs are highly unwelcome. in order to "prove" that they are worty to even be allowed to stay in their space, the BHG must often act simply for reputation. reporting and hunting criminals is what they do best - and thats how they prove to be on the lawful side and still listening to the orders of the so called "officials". - so BHGs policing the space is an evil produced by the lawful officials partly. - there were less of them around before the mercs were nerft. - but the many mercs did not police the space much, - not in a manner of substitute police.



contracts:

BHGs must only fulfil lawful contracts. its upon interpretation if a lawful contract may only be lawful if it targets an unlawful target. ( meaning, - it is probably not allowed to take a contract form official bretonia against kusari, as it is unlawful to act against a lawful house )



there are not many contract out actually. there are not none out... but not many. the LSF did well by putting up official bounties on liberty criminals at a time, but they re not doing it anymore. rheinland has no official general bounty going, kusari had one going - but i am uncertain if its still running. those bounties appear not to be updated too often.



others are head bounties on individuals, and its not too easy to go for those, unless you make heavy use of the ooRP chat console. asking around in space often only gets you so far.



result:

playing a BHG strictly by how it should be played is hard. - and it involves unlawfuls that play strictly by their rules, too - and play appropriately. its a matter of in-character.



for example: kusari had a bounty for any kusari criminal out. - any fighter 1 million for example ( bigger ships held bigger bounties, but only like 2 million up to 5 for a battleship or so )



now by only telling someone in sigma-13 that he was being targetted on behalf of the KNF, cheshire got a 40 million unlawful bounty on her head. - do you truely think a BHG keeps hunting unlawfuls if the unlawfuls dish out bounties in the 40 - 500 millions? when lawfuls only pay like 1 million? - balance of bounties is not given so the roleplay suffers, too.

end of story, cheshire doesn t hunt for kusari anymore, which i must justify by the poor payment compared to the exorbitant risk ( being hunted down even in the BHG guard system ) - its not the BHGs fault alone that the BHG is acting out of what their strict rules say - its the enviroments fault, too.
