i think, by now, this thread has transcended a discussion about the coalition ID and has become an argument about indies and caps and the demerits of widespread cap access vs the unwillingness of some players to want to be anything bar the 'top dog'.
Next, i predict we'll see this thread turn into flat out arguments between one side and another eventually forcing the mods or admins to step in and douse the flames with their flame extinguishing hammers.
well, at least the drama cycle in disco is a constant occurrence. but it's spreading the love now.
My actual view: Both sides have valid points. a little bit more freedom on the indie ID... sure, why not.
cruisers (and the eventually forthcoming carriers) on the indie ID, yeah nah. want one then SRP it.
