Proposal: Remove Battleships from the Zoner ID.

[Sabru]

Pretty obvious, too, since the name of the ship is Freeport.Mobile.Two . I've hauled disaster supplies and other stuff to support Doc and the TAZ with natural disasters, hung around to help during one of the assorted crises in Omega 3, and currently I'm sitting out to provide relief supplies - including additional religious and medical items - at Freeport 11 in Delta.

And that's what they should be doing. Something other than being mass-produced paperweights. Even in 4.85, more people RPed in these things. Also Agmen stop agreeing with me, it's disturbing.

Again, i wholeheartedly agree. My TAZ neph is RPed as a mobile temple to Eris (with built-in bar, brewery and a few other things.

There are people who actually RP with their juggies, bu they are drowned out (figuratively) by all the people who do the "im zoner battleship" style RP.

Yes, I'm absolutely certain people still do now, but does that change the fact that a Shipyard with 500 workers shouldn't be able to mass produce the ships the way they're portrayed ingame? Where's the backstory? Where's the presence during conflicts that aren't Zoners causing problems? Where's the research and the overall backwater survival a Juggie would be doing?

I'm not sure if you guys realize how much outrageous management it needs to build and maintain a battleship, but when it would take as much crew to man the battleship as there is on the shipyard bulding it, having them out in mass numbers like they are is retarded.

Hence the SRP suggestions. Hence the nerf suggestions. Hence all of the arguements against them.

So why did people start talking about it now, you defensive 'no u' schmucks might ask? Because not many people were willing to make a thread to put up with you. Kazinsal, of all people, went, 'You know, this is stupid, I'm gonna make a thread about it.' And he seems to be taking most of the hate and blame, and everyone else who didn't want to make a thread (or was too lazy, like me) are coming in to agree. This isn't about the ZA or any specific Zoners (though you guys are confirming the reasons why Zoners shouldn't get battleships), so get over it.

here, here.
