sounds liike you'd prefer a fighter to a cap ship lol.

I do, and that was the original spirit of Freelancer. I've found flying cap ships to be a novelty, but ultimately less interesting. But I do like the idea of going against another player who's in a larger ship, like a gunboat, or train.

if we're going to try and level them out with fighters, we might as well all forget the cap ships and buy some heavy fighter thing instead.

Don't be silly, I'm not suggesting that cap ships should be comparable to fighters. Where did you get that impression? But they did need a boost and that's why we have things like Inferno, Nova and tougher Codenames.

i think it would be a good idea to keep this open. remember we're running a cap ship mod here, and many people get stuck in various bases after launching or docking so F1 is the only option available to the players to free themselves with. because, lets face it. no F1 = players stuck on or in bases for eternity lol.

Well that does happen, but not very often. I'd be happy to shut down Freelancer and reload to correct it. To be fair I've only encountered one player on this server who continually F1'd out of PvP danger, but I'm sure loads of people do it when in a sticky npc situation. It's not that big an issue and that's why I left it until the end. If I felt that strongly about it I wouldn't be on the Discovery server.
