All this because of the firestorm that (I think) i was the first to get involved in.
(yaaaaaaa me - takes a bow):yahoo:
i find it frustrating that i find out about this policy after the ship was purchased, and then when i do, and do what i think was at least a decent attempt to rp a solution. I worked hard for almost a month (irl) of nonstop cardi smuggling, got busted a few times near manhattan, and didnt try to dock at manhattan when the cops were chasing me (look at the firestorm started recently about that one). I earned most of the over 800 Million credits from smuggling. Thats why i felt justified in purchasing the ship. The char was a friend of the Outcasts and their guard, so why is it a problem. It seems to me that if all cap ships must be approved, they should be given out by offical factions similar to the way that thier pilots startup cash is given to them, so that not just anyone can buy them. Now i have to wase another week saving up money for my company to buy a new nice flagship. If the trade in weren't so bad, then this might not be an issue. Also i had no desire to make enemies of the outcasts (wanna keep it in rp, remember)
all of that was writetn before i read the 9 pages. i have been at work all day - (btw, is that some kind of record for 24 hours or so, 9 pages? man i hope so. and i though zapp and stone started a good one the other day about smugglers landing rights, but thas a whole nother topic, back on track here)
so after thinking about it all day (actually to be mroe honest i was LIVID, all i thought about all day, i know i have no life) and thinking about some previous things mentioned here - here is my opinion
1) - Until a player show that he is oorp in flying the cap ship (note to follow), he should be allowed to keep it.
2) - Players should be awarded their ships, not available for purchase where ever he can rp'ingly land
3) - I have no intent to go crazy with pvp in this thing, its kinda linited by the id anyway. My intent was simply to detract pirates (the BLS cant be everywhere all the time)(walk soft and carry a big stick, a REALLY big one.
4) - Seeing as i have the dreadnought now I cannot justify wasting all the money i spent on it(dont get me started on that again), I created a back story, and was more than willing to rp my offer to them. Yes, i was actually gonna pay them up to 20 billion credits over time and take prpbably less that profitabel routes to rp it all out (once again, i am here to rp)
5) - Someone earlier said something about it being a status symbol. Read my offer in the registration post. Thats exactally what it was going to be, besides my quiet, loud stick.
6) - side note - that little utility that they used to see i already have the ship, how oorp is that. I never denied having the ship, like i said i bout oit before i found out about this. i know the in game chat is kinda controversial (long range scanner, etc), but something like that really takes all the fun out of it. if they wanted to rp it out, they should have sent scouts after me or something like that.
7) - How come when i put an hour into working on my story, and do a nice post on it, i get rejected. I understand their rp reason, but come on, let us have some fun (once again restrice the sales of cap ship you dont want out there by some sort of software block). Eveyone else other indie who simply said "Im an Outcast to defend Malta. My shps name is X" got approved? Fair, balanced, and unobjective, i think not. I know they all had destroyers, and i am (or maybe was) willing to trade down, but not now after they simply put me on kos before giving me ample time to sell the ship for scrap.
8) - Back to number 1. Okay maybe the Dreadnought is a little bit too much, but a BS should not be.
and finally (I promise) . . .
To sum it all up in a short but complex sentence . . .
9) - If i can make friends with the Outcasts Guard enoguht to land on Corsica, buy the sip and fit it out rp style, and rp its flight well enough for the community standard (the 101st is not objective in this matter no matter what you tell me), and keep it all in server rules, I should be able to keep the ship
oh, i forget im so stoked (not stoned) about this whole thing i cant even think straight anymore. Time to go kill some Bounty hunter is my rouge Dreandought. It might be thhe last time i can do it in peace or before i get sanctioned, but i dont think it will go that far. If it does however, im sure this situation will be quickly resolved by the Admins. Part of me does hope for that. Not getting in trouble, but for a swift rules clarification. Oh please, oh PLEASE let Igliss or Fellow_Hoodlum read this in their uber busy days and clear some of this up. BTW - love this mod. I plan on making a donaation when my tax stimulus come ion next month.
