If that list was supposed to proove a point, it kinda failed, I count 5 cruisers and 4 gunships, that's 9 caps total, that's more than some Navys field. In fact I think it's more than than most of them combined. Maybe getting some of those players to also field fighters and bombers more than they use the caps might help.

No the list came out by accident and, I'm not trying to prove anything other than we want to form a faction and have the responsiblity to run it with out stomping others Rp in an unbelievable and inconsiderate way, relax buddy. What I was trying to post just for you, well not really. But for everyone was the paragraph on top. Its a little tid bit for folks who are not Faction leaders. I have been asked over and over and one thing you said that stuck out in my mind was with all the data already made public perhaps I could make at least a short paragragh. That made sense, I think in hind sight, other might have been trying to say the same thing but, that was the phrase that made it click for me. So, I did.

The list is constructed more from RP and useing large amounts of fighters would be simply ooRP for us. It makes little since for us to have tons of fighters. Sorry i know folks like to bash cap pilots as whores all the time then brag about how easy they are to kill the rest of the time. But I cannot let our RP suffer over the "cool kids ship". This is not the bar I use for our RP. We require ships that can operate independently, as the ships are our bodies. This means that we require a strong balance of cargo, offensive and defensive capabilities. Our machine adapts to situations and builds tools to facilitate success. We are a different creature than the Xenos. So it would be unfair to judge us against Xenos. Its like compareing an orange as being to citrus laden next to an cucumber. Or saying the Liberty navy has too many caps because the Xenos dont.

The Xenos are the underdog. And can keep that as their badge of honor. We have our ships and we have frozen anything larger than a gunship untill we get caught up with our own standards. Its not like you'll ever face every ship in our inventory at once. The most that has ever been on at once was six. That evening we had 2 Talarcas, 2 Gunships, a Kith Sam Taaw, and a Taidani bomber.

Not all of us have super reflexes and typeing skills. It is simply easier to RP when you can survive the first volly or two while you type. If not we'd have more people saying "how little they speak." Sorry the gods of Surius (admin) would have to make them go. Fighters are a tactical strike craft not "fly all around Surius harvesting materials of all kind and bring them back safely" (AP= All purpose)craft. We adapted past frieghter, already. Sorry if we have motto its " Adapt and overcome."

Player caps are not the only ones to exist. The NPCs make regular use of them. You cannot ignore how houses have literally hundreds of each, or in Rhineland that has battleships almost everywhere it seems. Our cap count if everyone was on at once would be large count yes but since we are all in different time zones and most members have other clan obligations as well, very very unlikely. The NPCs must be taken into account of thing when compared to the Houses, additionally we have the smallest gunboat and the smallest criuser, and soon but not untill we get some RP done the smallest battle criuser/ship. It is our flavor, and caps cannot be shunned as the noob ship, they are part of the game and add demension and realism that a fighter just cant.

Anyway before I get on to another thread this is why we have the ships we do. Thanks for the points and sparking my imagination to post a paragragh.
