I ask that this be made a tad bit more legible and straight forward. As In: Only factions and indys with good writing skills or connections with the right people, should have capships. Cuz im sorry, thats what it boils down to, no matter what anyone else attempts to justify it as.
"Defectors" or "Theft": Capships. Movies to show example: Under Siege, U-571, Hunt for Red October.
If defecting, the ship should still have the same IFF/ID no matter where it goes. Expect the faction your leaving to try and "retake" or destroy the ship. Also expect the faction getting the ship to "reverse engineer" the ship in order to steal its technology, just before they destroy it, and any evidence that they had it. (that is unless they want it to be known they have aquired the technology and allowed the defector to join them.)
Keep it simple for the simple folk and those that are considered "outsiders" like me.
Green ID's for best RP, should be the only ones used by official factions and independents, without additional explanation or forum involvement.
Yellow ID's need some RP reasons or a simple request on the forum or in-game.
Red ID's require RP Story on the forums and or permission from the "owning faction" or an Admin.
[I wanna see the RP Storys for Every Faction Capship linked on the faction status page or ill have to agree with this whole capship deal being a load of crap. Moving gunboats, cruisers and battleships to guard bases and putting bombers in npc patrols should solve 90% of the problems. Most of this is ego and bullying, highschool crap i refuse to be a part of. No offence meant, but this is getting old and ruining the game for me when im constantly worrying if im gonna "do something wrong".]
Sorry if things are off but heres the list of capships as i get it organized.

Quote:Why is a suggested IFF/tag for the Osiris LSF and Navy?
It should be Order and Corsair since it's available in gamma and some corsairs have them.
Liberty is a big nono.
Reason:
"LSF and Liberty Navy research project." - 1 Ship was stolen by the order in SP and later reverse engineered by Corsairs to make the Dreadnought "Osiris", right? Liberty still has the designs and could build the original if they choose to. Atleast according to the infocard. I may be mistaken though.

Just my 2 cents. See, this suggests that with proper ID/IFF/Loadout, any indy can fly his battleship without restriction by Factions, and this simply isnt true right now.
