PvP: Newbies and Vets

[FallenKnight]

what is not good is newbies flying cruisers and larger around so that they have a chance of killing helpless players in snubs

FL is old game, where originally you could use only snubs. That doesn't mean in Discovery Freelancer you have to be centered around the Snubs. Yes, balancing the ships and weapons so far proves that snubs are favored and all is going around them (Which is an issue) but sanctioning someone in cap just because he went to fight a snub is wrong just as its wrong for that someone to use cap vs snub...The issue is not the ship but the player who most of time is clueless how to play fair, which is leading us back to "#indiesMustNotUseCaps" which we know wont be implemented cuz it will kill the server.

But tbh part of your proposal could be useful, for example instead of sanctioning someone - the player (indie) needs to fill small blank in order to be given permission to fly (bigger than Gunboat) and if being approved - fine, if not - you wont see him engaging you.

Officials in caps engaging directly snubs are rare...but from my experience that ever happened if someone in snub (group of snubs) did attack my BB. An indie with BB will simply try to have fun and engage without consider what he is doing - ruining the fun of others. Thats a Newbies vs Vets scenario...where the Vet with cap will not bother with the snub, while indie with Cap shall do it.
