Roleplay ?

[spec]

Like someone said just a few posts before .... Common sense ain't so common mate...
This community has really grown much larger from the time I joined (very recent) and I can see the chaos
sometimes we have to deal with. Considering that I'm practically a noob (see when I joined), I can see where
you all are coming from - small bunch of players to a server with 200max and usually almost full !
There are 60-80 ppl even when it's nearing midnight here in oz!

With a large community such as ours, there will have to be more rules; common sense is just not going to cut it.

Some other issues:
- Some weapons are too powerful - origins not documented, available at wrong base - leads to abuse
- Pirate/Terrorist factions should not have the best weapons (except nomads - they are freaks) -
[rant]
if anyone disagrees then let's have <unlawful> displace <lawful> at <x> home system and be done with it.
They have the best weapons and armament - why can't they take over the house completely, what's
stopping them, RP ?
- Borderworld independents getting capships into house systems - without announcing an event and right
over the primary planet of the house.
I have witnessed 2 such cases where capships were destroyed right above Manhattan.
(btw, what's it Manhattan - looks like a giant magnet to me)
[/rant]
- Large group of gunboats entering house systems
- Lawfuls using 2-3 cruisers on lone pirate ship - happens (but sometimes there's no way of knowing if that
indep is within RP and has a fighter or is a capship)
- Codies should also be restricted by faction type (someone gave this suggestion in an earlier thread -
me thinks it's a good idea).
- Independents in house military are a bad idea - no control of ship type and rank
- Missiles are crap, so are most mines
- Shield types are a joke. There are far too many shields available 90% will be using 3% of the top shields
(this is probably related to the weapon imbalance)
- Cardamine, Artifact runs mostly OORP by traders (need I say more?)
Alaska is the highway baby!
Most profitable legal run is probably diamond-niobium - any thoughts why Sigma-13 is the whore house ?


My excuse - I have no excuse, ship is mounted with 2 codies, 2 nomads (temporary on one char)
rest all are faction weapons.
Trader is with Civilian freighter turrets.
