Revising rule 5.6

[stone]

This is one part of the rules I hate. Cruising is a valid tactical maneuver in large fights. Players should be able to cruise to close with a hard-to-hit target.

Do I need to point out that the NPCs use cruise mid-fight all the time?

The only way I could see Cruise being fair in a battle is if there was a way to limit the speed so cap ships would have say half the speed of a fighter. But this would present a few problems if there wasn't a way for a player to set the speed of his cruise engines it would make flying in formation impossible. When I first started on the server I disagreed with this rule but after going up against a cap ship in a fighter I wouldn't have it any other way it would just make the game EXSTREAMLY unbalanced. You can bet that if this rule was taken out all you would see is battleships all over the place there would be no room for the fighter pilot after that.


What it boils down to is it's a rule, and I don't see it changing any time soon. So instead of complaining about it try to make suggestions to how they could change it so it was still fair for everyone.
