so, whats your point - except that you gained an achievement in digging up really old quotes.
may i remind you that this is not a one person decision - but the result of the dev team on the matter? - you cannot push things through entirely on your own anymore. - there has to be consent by other devs - which in turn means - there is a whole bunch of people who make decisions who believe that the change is what needs to be done.
some of them are also admins.
meterial reviewed :
- lore written about the ships ( google document recently )
- intermediete essay by the 3 official factions regarding the issue - i could pick it apart thyrzul style - but no, it does not really scream "zoners must have battleship capable capital ships"
- pretty much all zoner threads, including the posts that are outright insulting ( cause you never know, maybe they actually have something to say )
- PMs ( but i ignore PMs by ppl who have been insulting or got to a personal level )
in the meantime we have kinda also looked at how the zoner player react on a social level - like ... social competence in terms of speaking to the ppl, how they acted in various channels with ppl who listened etc.
it all gives a nice picture of who demands what and for what reason.
