Zoners

[Arioch]

And Red Hessians shouldn't build Blood Diamond Jormungands, Ranseurs should be rare, Core should not have more than ten warships, Corsairs shouldn't have four shipyards and Liberty shouldn't have plot-armor, as people repeat all day. Look at all those people here who never play as Zoners and go all possible ways to limit the Nephs that are horrible warships but present enough to actually provide people with combat targets. They are already the worst heavy battleship, can be easily beaten by any other battleship, and the only true issue is that people use them as the iconic lolwut battleship while eeeevery single other faction has literally the same issue just with less numbers.

If you want to see Nephs vanishing: Log into the game, destroy them. Threads about the Neph are coming up for years, nothing has been done about them and there is absolutely no need to change anything about them. They are bad, giant targets, mostly played by people who just want a big battleship without ZoI. Take them away or nerf them, and people will just start using Ranseurs more because the OC ID is the most liberal unlawful one. The only difference is that the Ranseur is not a colony ship, but people will still lolwut on them like they do right now in Delta.

If you don't want people to farm in Delta and have fun, log a raid and get faction activity. The Nephilim doesn't need any alteration, neither via inRP laws nor in terms of gameplay. If people want to fly around in house space, let them RP for it. Point and case.

Have to agree with Sombra here. My earlier comment suggested limiting the weapons, but moreso in the amount, not the type. But given the points above, honestly it's not the ship itself that needs to be worked on. It's the roleplay around them. Lolwut Neph players are the issue, not the ship. As mentioned, the ship is a colony ship. You bet your ass that it will armed to ward off any danger to the colonists aboard. And as said above, if you have issue with them acting against what the lore is for them, shoot them! They're massive targets. Not that hard to beat.

tl;dr - don't change the ship. Change how players use them to fit the intent.
