Imagine being in some fun RP then some jackass uncloakes, drops two lines and kills you. Because I'm sure that you'll be right near me in the QQ train. Along with other people that got their fun ruined- not necessarily by cloaking guys. (:
Yet you forget its also fun for the other guy too. So your RP stops suddenly. Enemies can show up on scanner at 15k and still move in fast enough to ruin your day. I say kudos to a well executed stealth attack, they are fun and are actually rare to pull off right, with most ships in most cases.
I'm talking about insta-death.
If I see some reds on my scanner, tough luck- have to live with it. Maybe defend my position with the guy/girl I'm RPing, flee, or RP with the reds. Depends on the situation and the reds at hand.
Insta-death just means end of story and logging off, mainly because I can't interact nor see the same person for the next two hours, unless we Skype and agree to some Forum/Skype RP or something. But that's not always the case when you just met that person and you're RPing with a total stranger. RP is scarce these days, too, so this problem makes it even worse.
Related to Snoopy:
Now that's a good idea. Though it's rather impossible to do now, unless the Admins just scrap every Battleship in the game. That will cause a lot of rages/QQ's from the people and cause them to leave because the Admins are unjust or whatever.
Maybe if the credits used to buy the thing were returned. Maybe that could work. Who knows? Imho Battleships should just be used by Officials. At least we know the person behind that Battleship is a possible RPer and may or may not have a basic understanding of the English language and not simply go 'red is ded' and start shooting them Cerberus turrets against Snubs.
But yeah, make BSes stronger and seriously limited. Maybe then single bombers could be able to say "Oh, but it's a big ship, with big guns, and huge armor. I think I'll stick to killing Gunboats/Cruisers or bring a few other people to shoot this thing."
Again, though- Cloaking Battleships that would be even stronger would be horrible. And so I turn back to the idea of giving Battleships/Dreads to Officials only, preferably the members with the least amount of Troll/LolWut/2milordai experience. I'd prefer to talk to actual admirals instead of random hobos that just recently found out how to speak. Because that's how I feel every time I see a Cap in New York...
...or a cap in general, but that's beside the point.
