Cap fighters vs Snub figthers, "balanced" fights? why so much qq?

Limiting capital ships is a short sighted solution to pretty much any problem it's suggested for and results in a net deterioration in both activity and enjoyment for the majority. In particular, the idea that they should be restricted in order to make official factions more appetising is cringe-inducingly bad. Official factions should stand up on their own merits, and if they're not able to draw in recruits, frankly that's their own fault.

Official factions aren't carved-in-stone permanent edifices that must be protected at all costs. They're not too big to fail. If they die through their own (in)actions, they should be allowed to slip away into the ether, and something else should replace them without everyone else being screwed over mechanically by the resultant handwringing.

I'd also be extremely leery of anyone who's basing their proposals on a crusade to "stop the lolwats", seeing as usually that's more a sign of an insufferable holier than thou elitist complex from the proposer. Personal standards are highly subjective, and just because one's own sensibilities are offended, it doesn't mean someone else's gameplay is objectively bad or needs curtailing.

P.S. to the probable Karlotta alt several posts above*: bot feeding has been disabled for quite some time, precisely in order to level the playing field somewhat. Aces can now be ground down over time, as opposed to before where the easiest way to kill them was time and carpel tunnel. You're running a little behind the curve.

*meaning Dove, seeing as Snake is apparently extremely dense.
