Attention All Outcasts

[worldstrider]

Thanks--the choice of term was perhaps a bit to confusing.

I totally support a faction enforcing its rp. No problem there. If players can't handle the big dogs they need to stay off the porch.

I also am concerned about abuse of power with cap ships both ways--those trying to get them and those trying to keep others from having them.

At this time, I don't had a cap ship with Junker character but have been kos'd, flamed, pmed threats and insults in-game, etc.

The players who have done this think they are "right"--but they aren't. In their minds, they are doing exactly what you guys are doing--trying to prevent cap ship abuse with the faction they are invested in (and frankly, most of them aren't really "invested" in the Junkers, they just don't want anyone else to be).

What they are doing is deciding which Discovery a player may have (as in Junkers may use battleships and cruisers) and punishing those with oorp behavior who don't abide by it.

In real life, a person who went around in their Honda civic and used a shotgun to shoot SUVs off the road because "there are already to many and they are destroying the environment" would go to prison.

I happen to think as an Outcast faction you can rp a control of ships--but there are other situations where this doesn't apply.

"KOS because we don't like what you are doing" is lousy rp.

I'll stop here--thanks for the ear and the reply.
