You're right Gronath and we both know very well by my case. At first, I bought the Rheinland Cruiser simply because I liked it. I wasn't too aware of the RP factors of the server at the time, this was despite spending a vast amount of time accruing the necessary funds. I soon learnt however that capital ships require not only the knowledge but also sufficient practice of correct RP. Trading is NOT experience of being a Captain or Admiral, unless of course you manage to annihilate every attempt of piracy in your sole transport and make well over a billion credits in due course. The only good thing that trading can do for a pilot of a capital vessel is the experience of actually flying such a large vehicle, cruisers are not easy to fly, but after flying a train or tanker for a few weeks, a cruiser isn't too difficult after that. All-in-all, combat experience is what matters, that is what makes a good soldier, especially one of command.
