Proposal: Remove Battleships from the Zoner ID.

[Sabru]

Removing juggies from the general populace outright would cause a crapstorm of angry little zoners, and leave a little bit of a hole where people have RP'd out having colony ships.

Removing BSes from the general zoner populace would indeed cause a crapstorm of QQ, but not for the reason you state.

How many people have you seen actually RP then as colony ships?

how about we combine the ideas?

restrict the BSes as sugested before, and for those who actually will RP colony ships, put in colony liners as you suggest.

or if they so desperately need the juggie, then have jinx use the juggy model and make a modified version without guns.

so that way, those who actually have a good reason to have armed juggies have them, and everyone else has their colony ships.

That's another viable solution, but it would require a lot of admin work. AFAIK, the carrier was supposed to be the "combat centered" Zoner "battleship" of choice, rather than the Nephilim. It would just mean that colony ships are used more appropriately as colony ships, and ships that were meant to be zoner "warships" are used more for combat - rather than the reverse where the colony ship often sees more combat than the carrier does.

i do think thats how it was supposed to be as well, but then people see the number of guns and the armor level on a juggie and we end up with the problem that we have now.

yeah, it would take a lot of admin work, but it would reduce the QQ on the whole issue.
