The original topic is talked about lowering price of the capital ship to help attract RP players.
If this idea makes sense, then cut off all the capital price of all faction,and let's see whether this will bring a climax of a new RP player boom.
If you want to RP a Gallic Royal Navy, you can fly a Lynx or a Courbe, which is also a good starting point. I don't think new players starting RP directly with a capital is a good idea. No one is born fleet admiral.
Generally if you want to RP a GRN, you'd better join the official faction or at least stay in close connection with them. In this case, it is improper to RP with a Cap since your rank is low from the start.
I think lowering the price of caps will only benefit people who love collect caps and fly them in conn or stay near the hostile jumpgates shooting and tractor-beaming NPC pilots, not to make the RP atmosphere more lively.
Edit: I'm saying this according to my own personal experience. I' m a rather new player to RP -- I have been playing on this sever on and off for about 1 year -- I get many caps but it doesn't help me RP any good. In fact I just sold some of my collection before the beta arrived. I feel that I using more time RP when I am in a snub or a trade ship than flying a cap.
