Outcast Destroyer, [ESS][D-SkyWolf] - Soon to be - Marksman

If you have RP behind the characters, there is no issue. Since you are on the forums, that increases the chance of that a hundred fold.

As for Scornstar, yep, its pretty bad when there's some 160 people on the server, a quarter are whoring diamonds, a quarter are in capships, and another quarter is in NY.

The point about capships vs bombers is this- when you fly a capship and see an enemy, you have two choices. One, charge in guns blazing, or two, talk for awhile. You can startup number two midfight without too much worry, since your armor and lack of dodging anyway won't make it do too much harm. Little stuff can't do that- you stop to type, you get nailed. So you get in your RP beforehand. Since everyone who flies fighters tends to do this, there is no issue- if you didn't, there would be a LOT less RP going around, and the place would be less fun. Unfortunately, a lot of capship owners can be classified into the following categories:

1) OMG, big ship...
2) Wow. Lotsa firepower.
Subgroup A: That means I can crush the noobz under my boots! Ha!
Subgroup B: That means people will think twice before crossing me, so I can get in some pre-fight RP.
3) Nice armor there. That'll give me time to type.
4) I've got a cool idea for a capship's RP, time to make it happen, even if the pricetag gives me nightmares.


Top to bottom is most common to least common, sadly. That's why we do this, to get people to move down on that list and see that capships are more than engines of destruction and PvP, but defensive platforms behind which one can RP more safely.
