Ok... Would you agree that the Outcast factions (101st RoS and BLS) represent outcast law? I would say yes, we do. We represent the decision makers, the real movers and shakers in outcast society, both its military (101st and RoS) and financial (BLS). Remembering that the OUtcasts are not a democratic society here.
Now, do other groups, KSP and KNF and RM, for example, police and enforce their own localised rules outside of their guard systems... ermmmm yes they do. There is a well established precedent of doing this. We just went, "Wow, what a jolly good idea!" and did the very same thing. They have all been doing this for a very long time and I have seen as both the RP and the realism of the number of capships has improved.
I have seen people get their heads down and write an RP story for the sake of flying an outcast ship, and get approved for flying it having put in comparatively little effort (especialy when compared to what it takes to get a Rhienland cap, those guys are VERY VERY strict on what constitutes good rp).
This whole measure is to get those who semi-rp in their capships to fully launch into it, and got get the roflcoptors and lolzors less visable by moving them out of their extremely dangerous and powerful ships.
On the note of NPC's being too powerful and that being the reason for people flying caps. Well... I fly around in my sabre or eagle a lot of the time I don't have any problem unless I activate unlucky mode by alt tabbing to desktop... thet invariably gets me killed. :lol:
' Wrote:Major military strike: He's already said that he will post in the employment section. That would mean that he's thinking of a lot more than one Outcast dreadnought.
Also, the Iowa's been stricken. It's currently available for donation as a museum or a memorial, I think Bill Gates could easily claim to put up a memorial and buy it.
Edit:
Maybe not in your RP. But in mine...well that's the beauty of RP isn't it.
Bill gates then wouldn't sail that thing around on his own (what?!?!) as a full blown warship would he, fully loaded and armed... I somehow don't think that any government would be happy with a private individual, totaly unaccountable, could be sailing something that could cause a major diplomatic incident, or rain down firey death onto say... Steve Jobs' house, would they now...
