Roleplay ?

[Yngen]

Those of you who think this community is going down hill either don't know or don't remember where we came from. Some of the people who visit these forums have been doing it going on 3 years I believe. And they I believe would say this place has improved....immensely.

That being said, the server rules have been taken as far as they can be, perhaps a little too far even. Rules that regulate ships and weapons can only work properly in a game where all ships and weapons are balanced. Again, look where we came from. There was a time when a VHF could do nothing but spam mines and kill a battleship, not long ago the bomber was the ultimate fighter killing machine, now they are at least a little closer to the real thing...things are being done to make the mod easier to role play in and more diverse.

But we still have a long way to go. New ships are being added to this mod faster than we can balance them.

And weapons...the weapons here...

Look, uber weapons are bad for role play, its that simple. Give one faction a clear advantage over another and you have two outcomes: stealing said factions technology, or everyone joining that faction. Given the choice, and we have, we choose stealing. Know why? Because even though we are compromising our own stories to make our characters competitive in an imperfect game we still care about the overall story of Discovery. It will always be better to have as many factions operating as possible rather than 2 or 3 mega factions with uber weapons. So we go and make our characters in weaker factions and swallow our prides to include weird caveats and abominable distortions to make it possible to play that faction. We make it work, because otherwise that faction is unplayable.

Eliminate uberism in weapons. Whats important here is the character you play, not the gun you use.
