POB-constructed ships?

[Trogdor]

Sigh.. I wonder why I'm even bothering with this, but...

Yeah no, some of us actually like not having our big ships restricted. Since we, you know, like RPing in them.

I'm sure you all would piss your pants if I requested the same thing for bombers.

Hmmm this discussion is already going down a path I hadn't intended. I only wanted to propose a means of stimulating server activity, to make POBs more important, and to open up the means to grow the mod's pool of ships. Not to start a discussion on limiting who gets access to what.

When I wrote that part about the best ships being POB-built, it was written with the idea that if a faction can only get their ships from POBs, POBs would become more attractive group pvp targets. (Leading to a redesign, making POBs easier to both build and destroy).
I hadn't considered that this would turn into a 'hey let's let official factions dictate who can fly what ship' discussion.

Plus as you can clearly see, PoBs are extremely unstable and barely functioning.

I'm sure your great and well thought out idea would work amazingly if PoBs were functional.

Obviously, all of this is moot if they can't get POBs working right. I guess I didn't feel it was necessary to mention that.
